This bone-chilling horror film has 8 parts, made on budget of Rs 1817 crores, earned Rs 17400 crores, its last part is coming in..., movie name is...
It began with a haunted farmhouse, a pair of determined investigators, and an eerie clap in the dark. What followed was not just a single terrifying tale but the birth of one of the most chilling cinematic universes in horror history. With each chapter, it dove deeper into cursed objects, demonic entities, and the battles between faith and fear. Which horror franchise is this? Here we are talking about 2013's The Conjuring, where real-life paranormal investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren (played by Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga) helped the Perron family deal with a demonic presence in their Rhode Island farmhouse. Directed by James Wan, the film was lauded for its suspense, emotional depth, and classic horror style, sparking global success. The Conjuring 2, which was released in 2016, shifted to London, where the Warrens investigated the Enfield poltergeist. The film introduced the demon Valak, later known as The Nun. Rich in atmosphere and character development, it deepened the emotional bond between the Warrens while expanding the horror universe. The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It, which made its debut in 2021, took a legal turn, portraying the real 1981 bone-chilling trial of Arne Johnson, where demonic possession was used as a defense for murder. While stylistically different, it explored the psychological toll of evil and added a thriller element to the franchise. What were the other parts that were connected to The Conjuring universe? Alongside the main Conjuring trilogy, the cinematic universe expanded with chilling spin-offs that deepened its supernatural mythology. The Annabelle series, Annabelle (2014), Annabelle: Creation (2017), and Annabelle Comes Home (2019), focused on the sinister doll locked away in the Warrens' artifact room. The Nun (2018) took viewers to 1950s Romania to explore the dark origins of Valak, the demonic nun introduced in The Conjuring 2. How much collection has been done by the franchise? Collectively, these films, which were made under Rs 1817 crores, amassed Rs 17400 crores, making the Conjuring Universe one of the most successful and enduring horror franchises in cinematic history. What was the last case of the Warrens? Now, the final chapter awaits, which is The Conjuring: Last Rites. As it is said to close the book on Ed and Lorraine's on-screen journey. This time, they confront the dark forces behind the infamous Smurl haunting of the 1980s. Promising emotional stakes, spiritual warfare, and a culmination of all that came before, Last Rites aims to be a haunting farewell to the universe that started with something very sinister. According to the trailer, it is expected that this part is going to become one of the most bone-chilling ride amongst all. The Conjuring: Last Rites, is slated for release on September 5, 2025.
