Blumhouse Atomic Monster showcased its upcoming horror projects during a Friday night panel at New York Comic Con, with studio co-founder Jason Blum highlighting the studio’s recent box office successes. The presentation included announcements of the complete 2027 release schedule, spanning titles from January through November that encompass various horror subgenres and approaches.
Key announcements included Craig Zobel’s attachment to direct an adaptation of the graphic novel “Something is Killing the Children,” alongside a trailer debut for “The Exorcist: Martyrs.” The studio also unveiled projects in development including “Seasons,” “RoboCop,” and “Molepeople.” Among the 2027 releases are “River” (January 15), “The Revenge of Llorona” (February 26), “Anything but Ghosts” (May 7), “Paranormal Activity” (May 21), “The Blair Witch Project” (September 24), and “Sleepover” and “Seasons” (November 12), along with an untitled film set for August.
During the panel, Curry Barker discussed “Anything but Ghosts,” a project co-written with Cooper Tomlinson that follows con artist ghost hunters who encounter a genuine supernatural threat. Barker emphasized the film’s approach to subverting audience expectations within the horror genre, similar to their previous collaboration “Obsession.”
Additional partnerships were announced, including a collaboration with content creator MatPat to develop films based on indie games and horror channels. The first project under this deal is a feature film adaptation of the indie video game “Amanda the Adventurer.” James Wan revealed that “RoboCop” is being developed as a series for Amazon Prime with actor Dan Stevens in the lead role and original writer Edward Neumeier involved. Director Rob Savage’s project “Molepeople” will feature LaKeith Stanfield and is described as a subterranean horror film drawing inspiration from classic horror cinema.
