Blumhouse developing film adaptation of Phasmophobia horror video game
Blumhouse Productions is developing a film adaptation of the popular horror video game 'Phasmophobia,' the first-person paranormal puzzle game that gained viral popularity during the COVID-19 pandemic. The project will be produced in collaboration with Atomic Monster and Kinetic Games Limited, though no distributor or release date has been announced yet. Originally released in early access in 2020, 'Phasmophobia' quickly became a social media sensation as Twitch streamers and YouTubers embraced the multiplayer ghost-hunting gameplay. Developed by Kinetic Games Limited, the game was a breakthrough hit for the indie studio, topping Steam's sales charts for several weeks in late 2020. It has since been ported to multiple consoles and sold over 23 million copies worldwide. The game also earned critical acclaim, winning the Best Debut Game award at the 2020 Game Awards. The film adaptation was revealed at Hollywood's inaugural 'Business of Fear' event, featuring Blumhouse CEO Jason Blum and president Abhijay Prakash as speakers. This project follows Blumhouse's previous video game adaptation, the 2023 film 'Five Nights at Freddy's,' which grossed $291 million globally despite a simultaneous streaming release on Peacock. A sequel to 'Five Nights at Freddy's' is scheduled for theatrical release on December 5. In addition to producing films, Blumhouse also operates a gaming division, with upcoming titles including 'Eyes of Hellfire' and 'Sleep Awake,' indicating the studio's ongoing investment in the intersection of gaming and horror entertainment.

"Phasmophobia" Movie in Works
Yara Sameh Blumhouse Productions has set its sights on another horror video game to adapt to the big screen, developing a feature based on 'Phasmophobia,' the first-person paranormal puzzle title that became a viral sensation during the coronavirus pandemic. The film adaptation will be produced by Blumhouse and Atomic Monster, in association with Kinetic Games Limited. First released in early access in 2020, 'Phasmophobia' became a social media fixation as Twitch streamers and YouTubers quickly took to the multiplayer ghost-hunting video game. Developed and released by Kinetic Games Limited, the title was a breakthrough hit for the indie banner, becoming the best-selling video game on Steam for several weeks through the final months of that year. It has been ported to several consoles and has sold more than 23 million copies globally in the time since. 'Phasmophobia' was also a critical darling, taking the prize in the category of best debut game at the 2020 Game Awards. The project was unveiled at the first-ever 'Business of Fear' event in Hollywood on Tuesday, which featured Blumhouse CEO Jason Blum and president Abhijay Prakash as speakers. It comes as Blumhouse's latest video game adaptation, following their 2023 title 'Five Nights at Freddy's' — another film based on a streamer-popularized horror game.
