BlumFest Unveils Blumhouse’s 2027 Slate, Including New ‘Paranormal Activity’ and ‘Blair Witch’ Films

The Story

Blumhouse Atomic Monster laid out its 2027 lineup at a two-hour BlumFest panel at New York Comic Con on October 9: River (January 15), The Revenge of Llorona (February 26), The Exorcist: Martyrs (March 12), Anything But Ghosts (May 7), Paranormal Activity (May 21), The Blair Witch Project (September 24), and Sleepover and Seasons (November 12), plus an untitled August 2027 film (The Hollywood Reporter).

Craig Zobel was revealed as director of Something Is Killing the Children. Creator James Tynion IV said the comic has reached more than five million readers, and promised the film would not shy away from its title (The Hollywood Reporter).

Creator deals were a theme. Matthew Patrick, known as MatPat, will develop films based on indie games and horror channels, starting with DreadXP’s Amanda the Adventurer. Obsession’s Curry Barker teased Anything But Ghosts, and Rob Savage described Molepeople, starring LaKeith Stanfield, as a subterranean horror movie (The Hollywood Reporter).

David Harbour and Kristen Bell also previewed Violent Night 2, with Bell joining as Mrs. Klaus. “It’s basically Miracle on 34th Street with an enormous bloody hammer,” Harbour said (The Hollywood Reporter).
