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. The code below takes a copy out and puts it back. Moving a whole list onto a device that has nothing on it yet is part of the subscription.

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.

Every franchise you have touched, in one code.

Scan it with another device's camera, or paste the code in below. It never leaves your browser.

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.

Takes either kind of code. A single franchise code replaces that franchise, on any device. An everything code merges by default, so nothing you have ticked on this device is lost. Putting a whole list onto a device that has nothing on it yet is the part an account pays for.

Read only. This never changes what you have saved, and nothing leaves your browser. The code has to be their code for this same franchise: codes do not carry a name, so one from somewhere else may not be recognised as wrong.
