About this list

The Conjuring universe, born from the case files of paranormal investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren, has spawned a multitude of sequels, prequels, and spin-offs. This cinematic world is filled with Easter eggs, including callbacks to inspirational stories and plot developments that connect the films. The true story behind The Conjuring is creepier than the film itself, but its successors are equally disturbing. Producer and series creator James Wan gives the franchise its coherence, bringing visual unity and capitalizing on elements like Valak, the demon from The Conjuring 2, who becomes The Nun's central antagonist. The Conjuring universe's films, though varied, share few commonalities, including Wan's direction. Even The Curse of La Llorona, not marketed as part of the franchise, features major cameos. The upcoming Annabelle Comes Home, a followup to Annabelle: Creation, is rumored to include callbacks to Wan's other projects.
