"The Conjuring: Watch Movies in Chronological Order"
You'd think it would be enough for filmmaker James Wan to have two hugely successful horror franchises under his belt with Saw and Insidious (both co-created with writing partner Leigh Whannell). But then he also went and created The Conjuring, which, since its debut in 2013, has produced nine films in total, grossing over $2 billion at the box office.
Starting as a 1970s ghost series, based on the real-life investigations of married paranormal investigators Lorraine and Ed Warren, The Conjuring Universe has expanded into a franchise that not only tracks the Warrens' demon-busting adventures but also delves deeper into the haunted backstories of these cases with prequel installments set decades before the Warrens' involvement. As we approach the fourth and final Conjuring movie, it's the perfect time to revisit the full timeline of The Conjuring-verse.
Are you planning to watch these Conjuring films in the order they were released, or do you prefer to experience the spookiness chronologically, starting in 1950s Romania with The Nun? Whichever way you choose, you'll find both lists below.
