Blumhouse Gives Updates on Paranormal Activity 8, Saw 11, River, Something Is Killing the Children, and More | NYCC 2026

Friday night at New York Comic Con was all about Blumhouse, with a 90 minute "Blumfest" panel that was devoted to a ton of upcoming films from the combined forces of Jason Blum's Blumhouse and James Wan's Atomic Monster.

The panel kicked off with the reveal that moderator and YouTuber MatPat had signed a deal with Blumhouse to produce films based on indie horror games, along with announcement that their first project would be Amanda the Adventurer: The Movie. From there, MatPat, Blumhouse founder Jason Blum, and Atomic Monster founder James Wan went on to preview a ton of other projects to varying degrees, from quick status checks, to director announcements, to trailer debuts and cast appearances.

Director Mike Flanagan and cast member Chiwetel Ejiofor were on hand for the debut of the trailer for the upcoming new entry in The Exorcist franchise. Flanagan noted he had set a goal for himself to make Martyrs the scariest project he'd ever made and said he thinks he's succeeded, declaring, "This movie is so goddamn scary. I could feel it on set. I can’t wait for you guys to see it."

You can get a lot more insight from Flanagan about The Exorcist: Martyrs and what is glimpsed in the trailer — including the notable influence of The Exorcist III — in IGN's exclusive new Q&A with the filmmaker.

Known for her horror reviews and horror movie scene recreations, content creator Heidi Wong, AKA the Horror Queen, made an appearance to announce she will be writing and directing an original short film for Blumhouse.
