Updated with Last Rites, tidied some stuff up and shuffled some things around. Credit to
this video which helped.
Last Rites has a lot of retcons/contradictions/mistakes, I'm just going to ignore Judy's age and birthday being completely different from Annabelle Comes Home (1964 vs 1961), I think her age is only acknowledged once in that movie (in her candles) so I can ignore that. The movie very clearly isn't April though. I think it fits better before the 1974 flashbacks in Last Rites anyway.
The movie also shows Ed's 50th birthday (only mentioned his age in the behind the scenes) but this retcons his birth year from The Devil Made Me Do It (from 1926 to 1936) and would mean the flashbacks in TC3:TDMMDI of when 'they met when they were 17' its 1953, and also makes him younger than the real world Ed. I've went with 1944 for those scenes (the real world year they met) because you can see his birthday being 1926 literally in the scene Lorraine says they met when they were 17 but that already doesn't match the real world release date of the movie being shown at the theatre (which would be 1948), AND the 'present' date doesn't match the text at the start so it might not be accurate. She does refer to it vaguely as '30 years ago' so somewhere around 1951 I guess. Hopefully First Communion gives a definitive date.
Both Ed's birthday and Heather's confirmation are dated to September 7th so I've reshuffled some of it around to fit.
I've gone back and sorted through the comics, moved the Ferryman one to basically present day because of the modern car and it can feasibly take place after Annabelle Comes Home. The video pointed out The Bride story features the google search bar from 2018 so placed it somewhere around the story's release date. The Accordion Monkey has a 50s/60s-ish looking car so placed it around then. In the first page you can see Annabelle being held by someone and doesn't seem to be inside her box so I'm assuming it's during the opening of Annabelle Comes Home? The Sleeping Song I've gone with somewhere prior to the Conjuring as there isn't much modern technology like the others but there might be the corner of a flatscreen TV in one panel so maybe I'll move later. This does mean (if canon) a lot of the artifacts end up escaping so you could include Vice Versa and the DCEU's crossovers with that event
.
Depending on what the DC KO Annabelle comic is like, maybe I'll add a miscellaneous Annabelle timeline and include those lockdown shorts with that.
Also added Vice Versa to its own section because I don't love including an unofficial movie (might do the same with Caged, still need to watch it), I think there's a really blurry 1986 calendar (given it was filmed in 1987 I'm assuming they just had it laying around), 1987 magazine and another calendar you can basically make match 1988 so placed it there to go with the release year. All the newspapers are from the filming dates as far as I could tell based on the headlines.
