Blumhouse Productions
Blumhouse Productions, LLC, doing business as Blumhouse (/ˈblʌmhaʊs/; also known as BH Productions or simply BH), is an American independent film and television production company founded in 2000 by Jason Blum and Amy Israel. Most of the company's theatrically released films since 2014 are owned and distributed by Universal Pictures as part of a ten-year first-look deal.
Blumhouse is known mainly for producing horror films, such as the Paranormal Activity franchise, the Insidious franchise, Sinister, The Purge franchise, the Creep franchise, Split, Get Out, Happy Death Day as well as its sequel Happy Death Day 2U, the Halloween franchise (2018–2022), Us, Freaky, The Invisible Man (2020), The Black Phone, the M3GAN franchise, Five Nights at Freddy's and Speak No Evil. It has also produced drama films, such as Whiplash and BlacKkKlansman, which both earned nominations for the Academy Award for Best Picture. Get Out and BlacKkKlansman won Academy Awards for Best Original Screenplay and Best Adapted Screenplay, respectively. It has worked with directors such as Leigh Whannell, Jordan Peele, Scott Derrickson, Christopher Landon, James Wan, Mike Flanagan, James DeMonaco, Jeff Wadlow, Damien Chazelle, M. Night Shyamalan and David Gordon Green.
Blumhouse's company model is to produce films on a small budget, give directors creative freedom, and release films widely through the studio system. Blumhouse was originally known as Blum Israel Productions, as Amy Israel had a first-look deal at Miramax when the company was founded. In 2002, Blum and Israel parted ways, and the company became Blumhouse Productions. In 2015, Crypt TV was created by Jack Davis and Eli Roth which is backed by Blum and the company.
Blumhouse's low-budget model began in 2007 with Paranormal Activity, which was made for $15,000 and grossed over $193 million worldwide. It produced Insidious, which grossed over $100 million worldwide on a budget of $1.5 million; and Sinister, which grossed over $87 million worldwide from a budget of $3 million.
In 2017, Blumhouse announced a partnership with DreamWorks Animation to co-produce Spooky Jack but the film was removed from DreamWorks Animation's slate in 2019.
On November 16, 2022, it was announced that James Wan's Atomic Monster was in talks to merge with Blumhouse, with Atomic Monster having a shared first-look deal with Universal. Both companies would continue to operate as separate labels, with each maintaining its own creative autonomy and brand identity. The merger was finalized on January 2, 2024.
On June 4, 2025, it was announced that the company was in talks to acquire Twisted Pictures' stake in the Saw franchise, with Lionsgate still being involved. Later that month, the acquisition was finalized and the deal would have James Wan and Leigh Whannell regain creative control for the future of the franchise.
In 2012, Blumhouse opened the Blumhouse of Horrors, an interactive haunted house experience in Downtown Los Angeles.
