1. The Conjuring (2013) The movie that started it all remains the tightest, scariest, and most creative of the bunch. In their cinematic debut, the Warrens investigate a disturbing possession at a remote family home in Rhode Island.

Add those elements to well-earned jump scares, some surprisingly harsh deaths, and a brilliant ending that ties back to the first film, and one has the recipe for haunted doll success. Annabelle: Creation isn't just the best of the Annabelle movies, it's also the scariest of the Annabelle movies.
