About Blumhouse Productions
Blumhouse Productions is a production company founded by Jason Blum in 2000 that became one of the most influential forces in modern horror by pioneering a low-budget, high-concept production model. By keeping budgets small and creative risk-taking high, Blumhouse has produced a long run of commercially successful horror and thriller franchises.
The studio's output includes original franchise launches as well as high-profile legacy sequels and reboots of classic horror properties, and it has become a go-to partner for both emerging and established horror filmmakers.
