Where to start with The Conjuring Universe

Release order and story order are almost unrelated here, and the story order is the worse way in: it opens on a prequel to a spin-off and saves the good films for last. Watch the Warren films first and treat everything else as optional background.

  1. 1
    The Conjuring (2013) The Conjuring

    The film the whole thing is built out of, and the one that works entirely on its own. Everything else exists because this made money.

  2. 2
    The Conjuring 2 (2016) The Conjuring 2

    The direct sequel, and the film that introduces the nun who then gets two prequels of her own. Watching it before The Nun is what makes The Nun make sense.

  3. 3
    Annabelle: Creation (2017) Annabelle: Creation

    Much the best of the three Annabelle films and the earliest in the story, so it is the one spin-off worth going out of your way for. It leads straight into the 2014 Annabelle if you want the rest.

Then what? After that the remaining films are all optional. The Devil Made Me Do It and Last Rites finish the Warrens' run, The Nun and The Nun II fill in 1952 and 1956, and Annabelle and Annabelle Comes Home fill in the doll's later years. The Curse of La Llorona is the loosest of the lot and the easiest to skip.

A suggested way in, not an official one. The full list is below — tick anything off in either place.

Sync & backup

Your progress is saved on this device automatically. To carry it to another device, move the code below.

The code holds only this franchise. The link opens the tracker with your progress already filled in — good for showing someone where you're at. The image is a picture you can keep anywhere: scan the code on it with a phone, or drag the file back in below.

Drag a SagaList image here, or .

This reads the progress stored inside the picture, so nothing has to be retyped. If the image has been through a messaging app it may have been re-encoded and lost that — scan the code on it instead, or copy the code printed along the bottom.

Restoring replaces the progress currently saved on this device for the franchise the code belongs to.
