The Conjuring is a series of American horror films created by Chad Hayes and Carey Hayes, as screenwriters, and distributed by the New Line Cinema division of Warner Bros. Pictures. The franchise surrounds the real life cases of Ed and Lorraine Warren, paranormal investigators and authors associated with prominent yet controversial cases of haunting. The main series follows their attempts to assist people who find themselves possessed by demonic spirits, while the spin-off films focus on the origins of some of the entities the Warrens have come across.
The franchise currently consists of two films in the main series, The Conjuring (2013) and The Conjuring 2 (2016), both directed by James Wan, produced by Peter Safran and co-written by Chad and Carey Hayes. The installments revolve around two of the many famous paranormal cases the Warrens have been a part of, with the first film depicting the case of the Perron family, who are experiencing disturbing events in their newly acquired house in Rhode Island, and the second entry focusing on the controversial case of the Enfield Poltergeist while briefly referencing the events that inspired The Amityville Horror.
The franchise also consists of one spin-off film, Annabelle (2014), directed by The Conjuring cinematographer John R. Leonetti and produced by Safran and Wan, which developed the origins of the doll of the same name before the Warrens came into contact with it at the start of the first film. A sequel, Annabelle 2, is set for release on August 11, 2017. A further spin-off film, The Nun, is currently in development, based on a character introduced in The Conjuring 2, and a third film in the main series has been discussed as a possibility.
