You can either watch them in order of release or follow the story chronologically. Here, we list the movies in chronological order, so you can see how the terrifying storylines connect.

What To Watch Before ‘The Conjuring: Last Rites’?

Here’s the chronological order of all the Conjuring universe movies:

• 1. The Nun (2018) – Set in 1952 Romania, this film shows the origin of the demon Valak, who later haunts the Warrens.
• 2. Annabelle: Creation (2017) – Taking place in the 1950s, this story explains how the cursed doll Annabelle first came into existence.
• 3. The Nun II (2023) – Four years after the first Nun film, Sister Irene faces Valak once again.
• 4. Annabelle (2014) – In 1967 California, a young couple experiences the terror of the possessed doll Annabelle.
• 5. The Conjuring (2013) – The film that started it all, set in 1971, where the Warrens investigate the Perron family haunting.
• 6. Annabelle Comes Home (2019) – Set in 1972, Annabelle wreaks havoc inside the Warrens’ own home and targets their daughter.
• 7. The Curse of La Llorona (2019) – Though loosely connected, this 1973 story shows another evil spirit, tied to the Conjuring universe through Father Perez.
• 8. The Conjuring 2 (2016) – In 1977, the Warrens travel to London to investigate the famous Enfield poltergeist case, where Valak reappears.
• 9. The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It (2021) – Based on a 1981 trial, this story was the first time demonic possession was used as a legal defence in court.
