The Conjuring movies in order
There are nine films in The Conjuring Universe: four Conjuring films, three Annabelle films and two Nun films. Release order is the recommended watch, with the four Conjuring films carrying the Ed and Lorraine Warren story and the Annabelle and Nun films as spin-offs. The franchise page gives a story timeline that runs from The Nun (1952) to The Conjuring: Last Rites (1986), which works for a second viewing. The Curse of La Llorona (2019) is not an official installment but shares Father Perez from Annabelle; it is optional.
