At a recent, special advance screening of Annabelle, the director and producer of the movie, spoke about spooky occurrences on the set while filming.

New Creepy Stills From Annabelle Revealed

The Hollywood Reporter interviewed director John L. Leonetti and producer Peter Safran, at the after party for the event.

Leonetti shared one instance which he even managed to capture on his camera as proof of some sort of haunting, stating that it was "Really creepy."

"The first [incident] was when we were prepping," Leonetti said. "We went into the apartment where we were shooting, and in the transient window above the living room window. It was a full moon, and there were three fingers drawn through the dust along the window, and our demon has three fingers and three talons. [The markings] were being backlit by the moon. I have a picture! It was sick."

But it was Safran who had the scarier story, calling it "much worse," and his incident definitely makes the finger prints Leonetti witnessed benign.

"We shot in this amazing, old apartment building near Koreatown and we had some funky stuff go down," Safran said. "In particular, the first day that the demon was shooting in full makeup, we brought the demon up in the elevator. He walks out and walks around to the green room to where we're holding the talent, and just as he walks under - a giant glass light fixture is being followed by the actor playing the handyman of the building - and all of a sudden the entire glass light fixture falls down on his head, the janitor's head. And in the script the demon kills the janitor in that hallway. It was totally freaky."

The movie stars Annabelle Wallis as Mia Gordon, Ward Horton as Join Gordon, Alfre Woodard as Evelyn, Eric Laden as Detective Clarkin, Brian Howe as Pete Higgins and Tony Amendola as Father Perez.

The movie is set for release on October 2.
