The Conjuring Universe: This is how The Conjuring Universe, into one of the most successful horror franchises in modern cinema by merging diabolically scary supernatural stories with interconnected narratives, follows many decades’ touch on cursed objects, demonic entities, and Ed and Lorraine Warren’s investigations. We would now take a look at the chronological timeline of events in the franchise.
The Nun begins in 1952, introducing a demon named Valak haunting a Romanian abbey. The sequel, The Nun II, continues in 1956, wherein Valak builds on his terrifying background.
The whole concept of the doll being possessed comes to life in Annabelle: Creation (1958) when a doll is made to become a vessel for evil after an unfortunate incident. As seen next in Annabelle (1970), it is clear that the cursed doll wreaks havoc on a young couple. In essence, by 1972, Annabelle Comes Home explores how the cursed doll wreaks havoc in the Warrens’ artifact room.
The Warrens burst into the limelight with The Conjuring (1971), which tells the horrific case of the Perron family. In The Conjuring 2 (1977), the couple travels to England for the notorious Enfield poltergeist investigation. The third installment is The Conjuring: “The Devil Made Me Do It” (1981), which presents the first murder trial in the U.S. blaming demonic possession as a defense.
Continuing the timeline, The Conjuring: Last Rites (1986) would likely be yet another intense Warren case and perhaps tie up some loose ends in the franchise.
Watching the films in their in-universe timeline rather than in the order of their release greatly improves the narrative flow.

Indeed, The Conjuring Universe is much more than just jumps. It is a horror saga that has been built very carefully, with each film attaching itself to the larger mythos.
From the seasoned to the neophyte, every follower benefits from that added spine-chill associated with the experience when following the timeline.
