Some of the horror genre’s greatest successes in recent years have been Blumhouse movies. Such notable hits include the Paranormal Activity movies, and Jordan Peele’s Oscar-winning 2017 debut, the instant horror movie classic Get Out.
Of course, not all of the projects overseen by Jason Blum have been horror – such as 2014’s Whiplash, for instance – but, considering how many great Blumhouse horror movies there have been, it is clear that freaking people out is still the company’s bread and butter. In that respect, let’s take a look at all the upcoming horror movies from Blumhouse set to haunt theaters in the future.
Wolf Man (January 17, 2025)
Writer and director Leigh Whannell of Saw and Insidious fame crafted one of the most impressive horror remakes in recent memory with his inventive take on The Invisible Man from 2020. The filmmaker has reimagined another Universal Monster Movies classic with the Blumhouse-produced Wolf Man, in which Christopher Abbott plays a family man overcome with a lycanthropic curse.
The Woman In The Yard (March 28, 2025)
Jaume Collet-Serra is best known for directing action movies like the Liam Neeson-led Non-Stop and DC’s Black Adam, but he got his start helming 2005’s House of Wax remake and later made the 2009 horror favorite, Orphan. He is making his Blumhouse debut with the upcoming 2025 movie, The Woman in the Yard – a thriller starring Danielle Deadwyler that is keeping its story under wraps for now.
Drop (April 11, 2025)
Christopher Landon has been something of a golden goose for Blumhouse in recent years, having written and directed recent horror-comedy favorites Happy Death Day (and its sequel) and Freaky. His next collaboration with the company, along with Michael Bay’s Platinum Dunes, is a mysterious thriller called Drop, which stars Meghann Fahy in the lead.
M3GAN 2.0 (June 27, 2025)
One of the biggest horror hits of 2023 was M3GAN, in which the inventor of an AI-generated doll discovers she has created a killing machine. We have not seen the last of the eponymous dancing robot, which is set to return in M3GAN 2.0, for which Allison Williams and Violet McGraw are also reprising their roles.
Untitled Insidious Sequel (August 29, 2025)
So far, there have been five Insidious movies – the most recent of which, 2023’s Insidious: The Red Door, reunited the cast of the original haunted house movie favorite. Details regarding the plot of the next installment, which Deadline reported is set for an August 2025 release, remain unknown for now.
The Black Phone 2 (October 17, 2025)
Scott Derrickson’s adaptation of a Joe Hill story about a teen who can mysteriously communicate with his abductor’s previous victims was a widely acclaimed hit. A sequel to The Black Phone is in the works that will see Ethan Hawke, Mason Thames, Madeleine McGraw, Jeremy Davies, and Miguel Mora reprising their roles.
Five Nights At Freddy’s 2 (December 5, 2025)
One of the most anticipated upcoming video game movies is the next cinematic adaptation of Scott Cawthon’s creepy hit set at a rundown family fun center overrun with possessed animatronic animals. The sequel to Five Nights at Freddy’s was officially confirmed at Universal’s CinemaCon panel in 2024, but further details remain scarce.
SOULM8TE (January 2, 2026)
In addition to its sequel, Blumhouse is working on a M3GAN spin-off called SOULM8TE, which takes the original’s concept about mechanical companions to another level. From director Kate Dolan and writer Rafael Jordan, the film is being described as an “erotic thriller” about a grieving widower who finds romance with an android.
Untitled The Exorcist Sequel (March 13, 2026)
Some of Mike Flanagan’s best movies have been Blumhouse releases – namely Oculus, Ouija: Origin of Evil, and Hush. The horror auteur is reuniting with the company to write and direct a follow-up to The Exorcist, which will go in a different direction from Willam Friedkin’s original 1973 classic and David Gordon Green’s The Exorcist: Believer.
Untitled Lee Cronin Movie (April 17, 2026)
Following his impressive, underrated debut, The Hole in the Ground, Lee Cronin slashed into the mainstream as the writer and director of 2023’s brutal hit, Evil Dead Rise. The Irish filmmaker's follow-up to the Evil Dead movie will be a currently untitled thriller from Blumhouse and James Wan’s Atomic Monster that he promises will be “something wickedly entertaining and terrifying.”
Thread: An Insidious Tale (TBA)
Blumhouse has more than one trip back into the Further in store for fans of one of its best horror movie franchises. In mid-2023, Deadline reported that Mandy Moore and Kumail Nanjiani are set to star in Thread: An Insidious Tale – a spin-off that will mark the directorial debut of Jeremy Slater, who is known for creating the short-lived Exorcist TV show and writing Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire
King Spawn (TBA)
A proper, R-rated reboot of Spawn – the 1997 adaptation of Todd McFarlane’s beloved comic – has been in the works at Blumhouse since 2017. Soon after, Academy Award winner Jamie Foxx became attached to star in the upcoming superhero movie as the titular, damned mercenary who uses his powers against the forces of Hell, but updates were scarce for years. In July 2024, McFarlane revealed on X that Matt Mixon, Malcolm Spellman, and Scott Silver’s script for King Spawn is complete.
Untitled Blair Witch Sequel (TBA)
While not the subgenre's first entry, 1999's The Blair Witch Project was a surprise hit that brought the idea of the found footage horror movie into the mainstream. As reported by THR, Blumhouse is partnering with Lionsgate to develop a sequel to the frightening classic, which would be its third follow-up after Book of Shadows: Blair Witch 2 and 2016's Blair Witch.
