You’d think it would be enough for James Wan, the director of “Furious 7” and “Aquaman,” to have two hugely successful horror franchises, “Saw” and “Insidious” (both co-created with writing partner Leigh Whannell). But he also made The Conjuring. Since it came out in 2013, it has spawned eight movies that have made more than $2 billion at the box office.
The Conjuring Universe started out as a 1970s ghost show based on the real-life investigations of married paranormal investigators Lorraine and Ed Warren. It has since grown into a franchise that not only follows the Warrens’ demon-busting adventures but also goes deeper into the haunted backstories of these cases with prequel episodes that take place decades before the Warrens show up.
So, do you want to watch these Conjuring movies in the order they came out, or do you want to watch them all at once, starting with The Nun, which takes place in 1950s Romania? No matter what, you can find both lists of the Conjuring Movies in Order below.
How Should You Watch The Conjuring Movies in Order?
The Conjuring movies aren’t the only ones that fit this description. The Conjuring universe comes to an end with two separate movies in the Annabelle series.
You can watch the movies in two different ways. The first order is starting with the most recent Conjuring movie and figuring out what to watch next.
But since each part is connected to the others and adds to the story with each franchise, it is best to watch the series in the order in which it came out.
