Blumhouse Productions has partnered with YouTube star Matthew ‘MatPat’ Patrick to create a series of movies based on viral indie horror games, and Amanda the Adventurer is first on the docket.
Representatives from Blumhouse and MatPat confirmed this partnership at New York Comic Con 2026, where they said the YouTuber has “a few projects in the works” with the studio.
“I am proud to announce that I’m working with Blumhouse to launch some new movies. I am taking some of my all-time favorite indie games and horror channels from the interwebs and partnering with Blumhouse to bring them to the big screen,” MatPat said at the panel.
The first of these is Amanda the Adventurer, a first-person, puzzle-solving indie horror game that sees the player character unravel an unsettling mystery involving a low-budget animated children’s show of the same name.
MatPat announced that he and Blumhouse are currently in talks with writers and directors, saying they’re “actually moving fast” to get this project made.
“It’s horror with heart. Amanda is this horrifying but tragic character. It asks the question, ‘Can you trust the media being put in front of your kids?’” he said.
This is the latest YouTuber-led film project to hit the news after Sean ‘Jacksepticeye’ McLoughlin revealed he was at the helm of an animated Bloodborne movie. And earlier this year, YouTube star Mark ‘Markiplier’ Fischbach stunned moviegoers with his self-funded horror movie Iron Lung, an adaptation of an indie horror game of the same name.
