Blumhouse is working with Amazon to create not one but eight new horror movies just in time for a Halloween season release. Adam Blumhouse has become a household name in the horror genre. Blumhouse is the mastermind behind the Paranormal Activity franchise, the Blair Witch Project franchise, The Purge franchise, and dozens of other hit horror films. Blumhouse Productions also has prior experience in the streaming industry, as season 2 of its horror anthology Into the Dark is currently streaming on Hulu.

Similar to Into the Dark, Blumhouse's Amazon collection is called Welcome to Blumhouse and will contain multiple horror movies tackling internal and emotional themes. The Welcome to Blumhouse collection will focus on portraying family and love as redemptive or destructive forces. This marks the first thematic collection of original movies ever to be released on Amazon. Co-Head of Movies at Amazon, Julie Rapaport, discussed this milestone with Blumhouse.
"We are excited to launch ‘Welcome to the Blumhouse’ with this exhilarating and provocative slate of original films for the first time ever on Prime Video. This collection from diverse and emerging filmmakers was a thrill to put together with our wonderful partners at Blumhouse Television. These chilling stories have something for everyone - ready to fright and delight genre fans and newcomers alike."
Amazon plans to release the first four films of the collection in October 2020. They will be released as double features with The Lie directed by acclaimed writer/director Veena Sud and Black Box directed by up-and-coming writer/director Emmanuel Osei-Kuffour Jr, both premiering on October 6. Evil Eye, directed by Elan Dassani and Rajeev Dassani and executive produced by Priyanka Chopra Jonas, and Nocturne written and directed by filmmaker Zu Quirke will be released the following week on October 13th. Horror fanatics will have to wait until 2021 for the other four films.
