Free Annabelle Movies

[Yair Nixon]

Belowwe've outlined how you can watch the films in chronological order according to the series timeline, starting with The Nun (which was the fifth film to be released) and ending with the most recent direct sequel to the original film, The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It.

Of course, you can also watch the films in order of release date and we've put that relevant information below as well. Read on for everything you need about how to watch The Conjuring, Annabelle and The Nun films in order.

This order does what it says on the tin; it follows the order the movies were released. We kick off with our first introduction to Ed and Lorraine Warren and end with a breakaway tale that doesn't feature our main duo.

Unfortunately for UK viewers, only The Conjuring 1 and 2 are available to stream with a subscription to either NOW or Sky Go, but all eight films are can be rented or bought on various digital platforms including Prime Video and Google Play.

First up is The Nun, set in 1952. The story follows Father Burke and Sister Irene who travel together to Romania to investigate a convent after a nun kills herself. When they set off they're unaware it's all linked to demon Valak, but they soon cotton on.

Again, that slightly complicates things if you watch the Conjuring movies in the chronological order - you'd maybe stop before that scene then hop back. We'd just watch this scene, remember it and carry on.

To make things a little confusing, there's a post-credit scene for this one that teases The Nun, but that's set in 1952 - so you'd need to watch The Nun then come back to Annabelle: Creation just in time for it to pick up the story in 1967.

The first film released in The Conjuring franchise and where it all began. This one is set in the '70s, showing Ed and Lorraine Warren investigating a case where a family has moved into a haunted house. This one is based on a real case (though Annabelle technically is too).

The demonic doll gets loose and draws all the other demons out. The artefact room features heavily, providing plenty of Easter eggs (if we can call them that) as there are all the items the Warrens have collected over the years, including the Perron Music Box (it was in The Conjuring).

Next is The Curse of La Llorona. This one is based off the Weeping Woman, a folklore tale. Set in 1973, we see a mother struggling to protect her children. The film will feel a bit odd as there's no obvious connection to the wider Warren story, but Father Perez pops up - he was in Annabelle.

Back to the Warrens with another 'true story' case with The Conjuring 2. This time it's 1976 and the Warrens investigate the Amityville House case then move to England to look into the Enfield Hauntings in 1977. Both are well-known cases.

The Conjuring 3: The Devil Made Me Do It takes us into the '80s, when the Warrens investigated the possession of David Glatzel, 11, back in 1980. We start things there before picking up the case of Arne Cheyenne Johnson the year after, in 1981.

Yet again we follow a real-life case of the Warrens, with The Conjuring 3 true story covering the case and Arne Johnson's defence that he was possessed. If you want a spoiler-free overview of the film, here's our The Conjuring 3 review.

More of a bonus entry, but as part of the Annabelle: Creation release in 2017, Warner Bros Pictures ran a contest for fans to create short movies that would then be added into The Conjuring Universe. You can watch the winners entries on YouTube.

It's a common question, but the answer is no, The Conjuring and Insidious franchises are not linked to each other. The only 'link' is James Wan, who directed both the first two Conjuring movies and the Insidious movies. Fun fact: Patrick Wilson starred in both the first two Insidious movies and The Conjuring movies.

If you've made your way through every Conjuring and Annabelle movie and your socks still haven't been scared off silly, you'll be glad to know that a number of other projects are currently in development.

Some aspects of these ghosts are true, while the plot at large seems to be fictionalized. This is increasingly common with The Conjuring movies. While the Conjuring namesake films and the first Annabelle movie were based on real events, the latest movies have been unashamedly fiction, which is not a bad thing.

Ed Warren was a World War II United States Navy veteran and former police officer who became a self-taught demonologist and was accepted by the church as the only non-ordained man who could perform an exorcism. Lorraine Warren is a renowned clairvoyant and medium who worked closely with her husband to investigate cases.

A young director James Wan (now director of Aquaman) did a beautiful job with unique transitions and unexpected jumpscares much to my enjoyment. The extra creepy factor is that it is based on a true story. A well-done, well-crafted creepy movie.

In my favorite of the series, Lorraine and Ed Warren travel to north London to help a single mother raising four children alone in a house plagued by malicious spirits. There are connections to the Nun, the Crooked Man character, and more.

There is also a tie in to the evil nun character which appears in several places during the Conjuring movies, which was fun. Fun in a scared like a little kid during the first day of school kinda way.

There were some great creepy moments, and great connections to the Warrens ultimately, but I just wish this movie was a bit more based in the creepiness of the unknown, rather than a demon coming to life and throwing someone into a wall.
