The The Conjuring saga has 4 released films, 8 hrs 12 in total, spread from 2013 to 2025. With the spin-offs (Annabelle, The Nun, The Curse of La Llorona), the Conjuring universe has 10 films: the WatchTrail checklist lists them all.
The full checklist: The Conjuring Universe, movies and shows, in release and chronological orderThat comes to 5 evenings of two hours — the median film runs 122 minutes, so an evening swallows one, rarely two.
In release order
- 2013 — The Conjuring — 1 hr 52
- 2016 — The Conjuring 2 — 2 hrs 13
- 2021 — The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It — 1 hr 52
- 2025 — The Conjuring: Last Rites — 2 hrs 15
The chronological order is the same: the saga was shot in the order it tells itself. That is the simplest possible answer to the question, and it beats a manufactured debate.
Which order should you pick?
Release order, and the real subject is elsewhere: what gets counted. The universe holds about ten films if you include the spin-offs, and their order has no consensus. This total covers only the main run, four films following the same couple and following each other cleanly. That is an owned choice: folding in the spin-offs would mean settling an order nobody agrees on, and the article would be promising an answer it does not have.
Is The Conjuring worth the marathon?
Eight hours twelve for four films, five evenings. Twelve years of production for a run that launched one of the most profitable shared universes in horror, keeping a simple recipe: the same investigating couple, events presented as real, and very few effects. The four films are surprisingly even in quality, which is rare in the genre.
Who it is for
It is for anyone who wants a coherent horror run in five evenings, without untangling an extended universe. For anyone who prefers built tension to jump scares. If you want the full universe — Annabelle, The Nun and the rest — this total does not cover it, and their order is another debate.
