On Halloween 2025, Delhi makeup artist and social media creator Izaa Setia brought the infamous horror doll Annabelle to life in a chilling street performance.

The scene was captured in a now-viral Instagram reel with over five million views, where commuters reacted with gasps, laughter, and phone recordings.
