How to Watch The Conjuring Movies in Chronological Order

Author : George May 14,2025

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 follows the Warrens' demon-busting adventures but also delves into the haunted backstories of these cases with prequel installments set decades before the Warrens appear. As we prepare for the fourth and final Conjuring movie, revisiting the full timeline of The Conjuring-verse might be a thrilling idea.

Are you looking to watch these Conjuring films as they were released, or do you want to experience all the spookiness in chronological order, starting in 1950s Romania with The Nun? Whatever your preference, you'll find both lists below.
