Release order or story order?

Release order is the best way in. You meet Ed and Lorraine Warren first, and the spin-offs arrive as the universe grows.

Story order starts with The Nun in 1952 and ends with The Conjuring: Last Rites. It follows the history of the universe more neatly, but it puts the spin-offs before the film that made people care about them.

Main films and spin-offs

The Conjuring films follow the Warrens: The Conjuring, The Conjuring 2, The Devil Made Me Do It and Last Rites. Annabelle, The Nun and The Curse of La Llorona are spin-offs set around them, and they work as separate horror stories if you only want the main series.

The Conjuring watch order questions

What order should I watch The Conjuring movies in?

Release order, starting with The Conjuring (2013), then Annabelle, The Conjuring 2, Annabelle: Creation, The Nun, The Curse of La Llorona, Annabelle Comes Home, The Devil Made Me Do It, The Nun II and Last Rites.

Do I need to watch the Annabelle and Nun films?

No. They are spin-offs that connect to the main films but tell their own stories. The four Conjuring films about the Warrens stand together.

What is the chronological order of the Conjuring universe?

It starts with The Nun in 1952 and then follows Annabelle: Creation, The Nun II and Annabelle, before The Conjuring itself. Last Rites comes last.

Should I watch The Nun first?

Only on a rewatch. In story order The Nun comes first, but newcomers get more from starting with The Conjuring.

The order and the core, optional and save-for-later marks are the ones the emberslate app uses for this saga. Titles, years and runtimes come from TMDB; series runtimes count aired episodes only and are rounded. First published 9 November 2026.
