13 Best Blumhouse Horror Movies Ranked

Has any single person had a greater impact on horror this century than Jason Blum? The one-time Miramax executive struck out on his own in the 2000s when he founded Blumhouse Productions, a company where he remains the CEO.

Blumhouse Horror Movies Update: Halloween Kills, Insidious 5 and More

One of the most prolific production companies of recent times has been Blumhouse, which spent the better part of the past 15 years delivering low-to-mid-budget quality genre entertainment — mostly horror, some of it in other genres like sci-fi and thriller — to eager audiences watching at the movie theater or on TV (the company has also been behind dramas like Whiplash).

Blumhouse Starting Production on Horror Movies Again, But At Slower Pace

Like every other studio and production company in the business of making movies and TV shows, Blumhouse Productions has watched its content pipeline come to a nearly complete stop for much of 2020 as the coronavirus pandemic swept around the globe. Active work — including pre-production, live filming and post-production — initially ground to a halt for the better part of the past seven months, with production initially starting up again overseas only toward the end of summer as places like the U.K. and other European locales seemed to get a lid on the virus (that may be in question…

The Craft: Legacy Trailer Promises Blumhouse Fun and Release Date

For alternative kids of a certain age, 1996’s The Craft was more than a touchstone horror movie; it was an aspirational tale of independence. Maybe even more than the original’s director Andrew Fleming and writer Peter Filardi fully realized, a movie about four female friends using their witching powers to rise above (or is that levitate over?) the rigors of high school life and literally walk on water was intoxicating to Gen-Xers and older millennials who liked to paint it black. It appears that the quite on-the-nose legacy sequel of The Craft: Legacy is picking up on those witchy vibes…
