What Are the Conjuring Movies?
The Conjuring movies are a horror franchise about Ed and Lorraine Warren, paranormal investigators played by Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga, and the series now stands at 4 films plus 6 spin-offs, ten theatrical releases in all. The main saga began with The Conjuring (2013), directed by James Wan, and continued with The Conjuring 2 (2016), also directed by Wan. It then moved to The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It (2021) and The Conjuring: Last Rites (2025), both directed by Michael Chaves.
The spin-offs follow the objects and entities that the Warrens keep locked away. Annabelle (2014), directed by John R. Leonetti, tells how a vintage doll ends up in a nursery in 1967 Santa Monica, and Annabelle: Creation (2017), directed by David F. Sandberg, goes back to a dollmaker and his wife who lose their daughter Bee. Annabelle Comes Home (2019) was the directing debut of Gary Dauberman, who had also written Annabelle (2014). The Nun (2018), directed by Corin Hardy, and The Nun II (2023), directed by Chaves, follow Sister Irene against the demon Valak. The Curse of La Llorona (2019), also directed by Chaves, leaves the Warrens behind for a child welfare caseworker in 1973 Los Angeles. For a full count and a grid, see how many Conjuring movies are there.
Each main film is built on a case the Warrens claimed to have investigated: the Perron family farmhouse in Rhode Island in 1971, the Hodgson council house in Enfield, north London, in 1977, the 1981 killing in Brookfield, Connecticut, tied to Arne Cheyne Johnson, and the Smurl family home in West Pittston, Pennsylvania, in 1986. Cinvibe reports these as the Warrens' claims and the filmmakers' dramatization, and treats no haunting or possession as proven. The Conjuring true story page separates what was claimed from what the films invented, and every film in the series carries an R rating in the US.
The commercial record explains why the universe kept growing. The Conjuring (2013) cost $20 million and took in $321 million worldwide, according to Box Office Mojo, and the ten films together have grossed more than $2.9 billion. The Conjuring: Last Rites is the biggest earner of the set at about $499 million worldwide on a $55 million budget. The smallest is The Curse of La Llorona at about $123 million on a $9 million budget, which is still a large multiple of its cost. The full table sits on Conjuring box office.
In my opinion, the series lasts because its rules are simple: a family moves into a house, something in it wants them out, and two investigators arrive with a limited set of tools. It could be argued that the spin-offs work best when they hand a creature one legible rule (a doll that must be contained, a demon dressed as a nun) and worry less about connecting the dots. Perhaps the box office agrees, since The Curse of La Llorona, which lists no Ed or Lorraine Warren in its top billed cast, is also the lowest earner. That being said, it is a pattern in the numbers and not a law.

Conjuring Movies in Order: Release and Chronological
The simplest way to watch the Conjuring movies is release order, which starts with The Conjuring (2013) and ends with The Conjuring: Last Rites (2025), while chronological order starts with The Nun (2018), a film set in 1952. Here is release order:
- The Conjuring (2013)
- Annabelle (2014)
- The Conjuring 2 (2016)
- Annabelle: Creation (2017)
- The Nun (2018)
- The Curse of La Llorona (2019)
- Annabelle Comes Home (2019)
- The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It (2021)
- The Nun II (2023)
- The Conjuring: Last Rites (2025)
And here is chronological order, with the setting year where the films state one:
- The Nun (2018), set in 1952
- Annabelle: Creation (2017), set mostly in 1955
- The Nun II (2023), set in 1956
- Annabelle (2014), set in 1967
- The Conjuring (2013), set in 1971
- Annabelle Comes Home (2019)
- The Curse of La Llorona (2019), set in 1973
- The Conjuring 2 (2016), set in 1976 and 1977
- The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It (2021), set in 1981
- The Conjuring: Last Rites (2025), with a 1964 opening and a main story in 1986
How do you watch the Ed and Lorraine Warren movies? The four main films are the core, and TMDB cast lists also credit Wilson and Farmiga in The Nun (2018) and Annabelle Comes Home. The other four spin-offs do not list them among their top fifteen billed cast. Newcomers can start with The Conjuring (2013), because it introduces the Warrens and no earlier film is required. The full guide is Conjuring movies in order, and the era by era breakdown is the Conjuring timeline.
Conjuring First Communion: Release Date and Status
The next film is The Conjuring: First Communion, which Warner Bros. has dated for September 10, 2027 in the US, and it is in production. TheWrap reported the date on January 16, 2026, and Variety repeated it on July 15, 2026, describing the film as a prequel released by Warner Bros. and New Line. No UK or Australian date has been reported yet.
Variety reported that Rodrigue Huart is directing from a script by Richard Naing and Ian Goldberg, with Peter Safran producing. Garrett Wareing and Amanda Fix are reported to play the young Ed Warren and Lorraine Warren, so younger actors take over the Warrens for this prequel. TheWrap reported on July 29, 2026 that Matthias Schweighöfer, Charles Parnell, Marta Kessler and Caleb Dolden have also joined the cast, and that filming was underway. No character names have been reported for those four.
Trailer coverage for the film sits on the Conjuring First Communion trailer page, and the cast and crew as they stand are on Conjuring cast.
Who Are the Main Conjuring Characters?
Conjuring charactersThe central characters are Ed Warren and Lorraine Warren, played by Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga across the four main films, with their daughter Judy Warren, the demon Valak and the Annabelle doll as the best known recurring figures. The full roster is on Conjuring characters.
Ed Warren and Lorraine Warren are introduced in The Conjuring (2013) as investigators known for their work with cursed objects, and the pair are credited in the main films, The Nun (2018) and Annabelle Comes Home. Judy Warren is played by Sterling Jerins in The Conjuring 2 and The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It (and as a child in The Conjuring (2013)), by Mckenna Grace in Annabelle Comes Home and by Mia Tomlinson in The Conjuring: Last Rites, where she is an adult in a relationship with Tony Spera.
Valak appears as the Demon Nun in The Conjuring 2 and as The Nun in both Nun films, always played by Bonnie Aarons. Sister Irene, played by Taissa Farmiga, is the novice who faces Valak in The Nun (2018) and returns in The Nun II. The Annabelle doll anchors three spin-offs, and La Llorona, played by Marisol Ramirez, is the weeping spirit of The Curse of La Llorona, where Linda Cardellini plays the caseworker Anna Tate-Garcia.
The real figures behind the Warrens, and the claims attached to the Perron, Enfield, Brookfield and Smurl cases, are covered on the Conjuring demons and true story pages as claims, with attribution.

FAQs
Is there a prequel to The Conjuring?
Yes, in two senses. By story order, The Nun (2018) is the earliest film, set in 1952, followed by Annabelle: Creation and The Nun II. By release, The Conjuring: First Communion is reported by Variety to be a prequel, with Garrett Wareing and Amanda Fix playing young Ed and Lorraine Warren, and Warner Bros. has dated it for September 10, 2027.
Which Conjuring is the scariest, 1, 2, 3, or 4?
Fear is subjective, and no measurement settles it. The Conjuring (2013) builds on a Rhode Island farmhouse with stopped clocks, bruises and a sealed cellar. The Conjuring 2 brings the demonic nun and the Enfield case, The Devil Made Me Do It (the third main film) turns to possession, and Last Rites (the fourth) centers on a cursed mirror.
