Do you believe in the supernatural? Ed and Lorraine Warren certainly did, or so they told the people they worked with. Over the years, they helped many people who were victims of hauntings and demonic possession, and several of their cases have been depicted in the movies set within The Conjuring Universe.
To date, there have been 8 movies set within this world, 3 movies in the main series and 5 spin-off movies. The series has been generally well-regarded, even by those who are sceptical of ghosts and demons, although Annabelle (2014) and The Curse of La Llorona (2019) didn’t score as highly as some of the other movies in the franchise.
