Where to Watch The Conjuring Universe in the US
In the United States, The Conjuring Universe is primarily available to stream on Max (via the HBO add-on) and to rent or buy on digital platforms such as Apple TV, Amazon Prime Video, Google Play, YouTube, Vudu, and Microsoft Store. Netflix availability varies by title and can change without notice. Physical media include Blu-ray and DVD sets for collectors. Viewing options below reflect typical evergreen availability as of mid-2025; check your local app store or service for the most current links and pricing in your region.
Current Streaming Landscape for The Conjuring Universe
As of mid-2025, the core Conjuring films (including The Conjuring, The Conjuring 2, The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It, and the Annabelle and Crooked Man series) are licensed to Max in many regions, often through add-on subscriptions like HBO. Availability can vary by title and may shift due to licensing agreements. In other regions, services such as Hulu, Peacock, or local streamers may hold windows. Because these deals expire and change, always confirm in your app or on the provider site before planning a viewing session.

How to Rent or Buy Digitally
If a title is not included in your streaming subscription, you can rent or purchase digitally. Prices generally fall around $3.99 to $5.99 for rentals and $9.99 to $19.99 for purchases, depending on video quality and whether it is part of a bundle. Major platforms include:
- Apple TV
- Amazon Prime Video
- Google Play Movies & TV
- YouTube Movies
- Vudu
- Microsoft Store
These platforms offer HD and often 4K options and allow you to keep the file in your library as long as the platform remains available in your region.
Physical Media and Collectibles
For dedicated fans, physical releases provide bonus features and packaging art. Blu-ray and DVD sets often bundle films or include special features not found on streaming versions. Region coding applies; U.S. discs typically use Region A and will not play on Region B or Region C players without a multi-region or imported-compatible device. Check packaging and system compatibility before purchasing. Collector’s editions may include art books, props replicas, and behind-the-scenes discs.
How to Check Availability in Your Area
Because rights are divided by country and sometimes by city, a reliable method is to search within your own apps and devices:
- Open your streaming app (e.g., Max, Netflix, Hulu) and use the search function.
- Go to Apple TV, Google Play, or your TV provider’s storefront and type the film title to see rent/buy options.
- Use a metasearch site like Reelgood or JustWatch and set your country and region to filter results.
- Check your Smart TV platform’s app store for local versions of streamers.
These steps help you confirm what is available right now rather than relying on older lists that may no longer be accurate.

FAQ
Reader questions
Is The Conjuring Universe free to watch?
It may be included with a Max subscription that includes the HBO add-on in some regions, but not universally free. Otherwise you’ll need to rent or buy.
Can I use a VPN to access other regions’ catalogs?
You can, but doing so may violate terms of service and platform detection systems may block known VPN IPs. Results vary by provider and platform.
Will older titles move to a different service over time?
Yes. Licensing windows expire and films rotate off. When this happens, they typically move to rental or purchase platforms so you can still watch them for a fee.
