Logo of the first part Conjuring - The Visitation
The Conjuring Universe is a horror film series whose films are produced by New Line Cinema , Safran Company, Atomic Monster Productions and distributed by Warner Bros. Entertainment . The films show a dramatization of the real-life cases of Ed and Lorraine Warren , paranormal investigators and writers linked to prominent but controversial cases of hauntedness. The main series follows their attempts to help people possessed by demonic spirits, while the spin-offs focus on the origins of some of the beings the Warrens encountered.
Film series
So far, seven films in the series have been released in out of chronological order. A special feature is the film Llorona's Curse , released in 2019 , which was initially marketed as an independent horror film and the connection to the universe only became known through first screenings. A third Conjuring film is planned, which will be directed by Michael Chaves and will be released in June 2021, a Conjuring 2 spin-off about the Crooked Man and a sequel to The Nun , which is to be written by Akela Cooper . The Crooked Man and The Nun 2 don't have a set release date yet. However, two release dates have already been announced for as yet unknown films in the universe. Films are slated to open in US cinemas in September 2021 and 2022.

Legend:
- Ed and Lorraine Warren investigate the Annabelle case and eventually bring the doll to the Warren Occult Museum. In the film Conjuring - The Visitation , this period is dated to 1968, but this is no longer mentioned in later films. Since the main story of Annabelle is set after 1969 through the mention of the murder of Sharon Tate , the indication of 1968 is a mistake in the film production.
- The Warrens are investigating the Amityville case.
- Annabelle, the daughter of doll maker Samuel Mullins, is run over by a car and dies.
- The Higgins' adopt Janice "Annabelle" Higgins after she is housed in an orphanage.
- Janice joined a satanic cult with her boyfriend and murdered her adoptive parents.
- The demon Valak lingers in the halls of the Cârța monastery .
- Carolyn Perron attends the demonologists Ed and Lorraine Warren's college seminar.
- A woman named Llorona drowns her children in Mexico.
