Celebrate legendary horror studio Blumhouse’s legacy with this lavishly illustrated visual compendiumthat takes you behind the scenes ofthe films that have reshaped the horror genre, from The Exorcist to the Paranormal Activity and Halloween franchises.

Jason Blum, founder and CEO of Blumhouse, is a three-time Academy Award®-nominated, two-time Primetime Emmy Award-winning and three-time Peabody Award-winning producer. Blumhouse, is a film, television and gaming company regarded as the driving force in horror, having produced iconic franchises. Following Blumhouse's merger with James Wan’s Atomic Monster in January 2024, the combined companies are responsible for nearly $10 Billion in worldwide box office, and have represented approximately 50% of the horror market in the last ten years. Together they have produced nearly 250 movies and television series, including the most successful horror franchise in history with the Conjuring Universe, making Blum and Wan the most prolific and successful independent producers of the last decade. Blum has been recognized by TIME magazine’s 100 list of the world’s most influential people. He is on the Board of The Public Theater in New York, the Sundance Institute, Vassar College, the American Cinematheque and the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures. Last year, Blum donated $10M to Vassar, the largest gift ever given to the college by a male alum.

With Blumhouse celebrating its 15th anniversary throughout 2025, Horror’s New Wave captures the company’s journey to become a powerhouse in the horror and thriller film genres—taking you through the process of conception to premiere for films like Five Nights at Freddy’s, Sinister, Split, Get Out, M3GAN, now-classic franchises like The Purge, and along with iconic films from cinematic visionaries including Damien Chazelle’s Whiplash and Spike Lee’s BlacKkKlansmanand much more.

This definitive “Blumhouse book” delves into the behind-the-scenes processes that shaped Blumhouse’s iconic films and is perfect for cinephiles, pop culture enthusiasts, and lovers of horror.

These interviews explore how each project came together, offering stories and insights into the creative process, such as directing, musical score, makeup, acting, cinematography, and more. You will get a birds-eye view at the triumphs and challenges of some of the most beloved and iconic horror films of all time.
