OpenFAQ
What is the best order to watch Conjuring movies?
Release order is the standard recommendation. Start with The Conjuring (2013), then follow the list through Last Rites (2025). Spin-offs like Annabelle and The Nun make the most sense after you know the Warrens and their world.
How many Conjuring Universe movies are there?
There are 10 films in this guide: three main Conjuring entries, three Annabelle films, two Nun films, plus The Curse of La Llorona and Annabelle Comes Home.
Is chronological order different from release order?
Yes. Chronological order would start with Annabelle: Creation (1955) and The Nun (1952), then move forward in time. Release order preserves how the universe was revealed to audiences and is easier for first-time viewers.
Do I need to watch every spin-off?
The three main Conjuring films tell the core Warren story. Annabelle, The Nun, and the other spin-offs add depth and scares but are not strictly required — though Annabelle Comes Home directly follows The Conjuring 2.
Is The Curse of La Llorona part of the Conjuring Universe?
It is a loosely connected spin-off set in the same world, with a brief Warrens cameo. It fits in release order between The Nun and Annabelle Comes Home, both from 2019.
