Watch The Conjuring Movies Chronologically: A Guide

James Wan, the mastermind behind the horror franchises Saw and Insidious, has yet another feather in his cap with The Conjuring series. Launched in 2013, this franchise has blossomed into a cinematic universe with nine films, amassing over $2 billion at the box office. Rooted in the paranormal investigations of real-life couple Lorraine and Ed Warren, The Conjuring Universe has expanded to include prequels and spin-offs that delve into the chilling backstories of various cases, long before the Warrens arrive on the scene. As the anticipation builds for the fourth and final installment, now is the perfect time to dive into the complete timeline of The Conjuring-verse.

Are you eager to experience the films in the order they hit the theaters, or would you prefer to immerse yourself in a chronological journey starting from the haunting events in 1950s Romania with The Nun? Either way, you'll find the viewing sequences outlined below.
