Since its debut in 2013, The Conjuring franchise has become a cornerstone of modern horror, blending heart-pounding scares with compelling storytelling. Directed by James Wan, the original film introduced audiences to the Warrens, a team of paranormal investigators whose true-life cases inspired a sprawling cinematic universe. With sequels like The Conjuring 2 (2016) and spin-offs such as Annabelle and The Nun , the franchise has consistently dominated the horror genre.
