The Conjuring is a much better film and actually portrays the story of Annabelle as it allegedly happened IRL (the only change being the real Annabelle was just a plain Raggedy Ann doll). The Annabelle movie itself is straight fiction, and not very good fiction.
i saw Annabelle at the theaters so i think i had a different experience than these previous posters. but i prefer Annabelle as one could clearly see the director tricked the audience for a nice high tension effect. one example is the elevator scene. just my opinion, and i can say a lot of folks at the theater liked it too. to me conjuring was forgettable, i can still recall some awesome scenes from Annabelle though.
I saw both in theatres. I wanted to like Annabelle, but for me it just never really picked up momentum. I was bored, and left the theatre sad that it didn't live up to what I expected.
Shoulda made it Annabelle 1 vs 2...because the sequel/prequel 'Creation' was MUCH better then the 1st movie..in fact Creation director is helming the upcoming Shazam! movie for DC!
Conjuring is the much better movie...James Wan baby!!!!
Vera Farmiga too! I swear she made me tune in to every episode of Bates Motel after I saw Conjuring. She should have won an Emmy for her portrayal of a corpse. LOL

Conjuring, because Annabelle was boring and not too scary for me.

Neither. Both of them are extremely boring and lame.
I can't believe there was so much hype about these pieces of crap.
