Blumhouse to promote Halloween Kills, Freaky, & more with online BlumFest

Last Updated on July 30, 2021

Blumhouse Productions has announced that they will be hosting a virtual event called BlumFest on their YouTube channel and Facebook page this Thursday, October 29th, starting at 10am Pacific / 1pm Eastern. BlumFest will consist of panels for some of Blumhouse's upcoming films, including HALLOWEEN KILLS, FREAKY, and THE CRAFT: LEGACY. 

Jason Blum, Blumhouse's CEO and founder, had this to say about the event: 

This year has sidelined a lot for all of us, but Halloween is a treasured season at Blumhouse, so we conceived BlumFest to celebrate with our fans via a virtual event that will feature exclusive interviews and never-before-seen footage on an upcoming release or two."

The panels that will make up BlumFest include: 

Welcome to the Blumhouse – Join Jennifer Salke, Head of Amazon Studios and Blum for a lively convo about the collaboration between Amazon and Blumhouse on the recently launched movies The Lie, Nocturne, Evil Eye and Black Box. Mamoudou Athie from the film Black Box will join the duo along with surprise guests. The four films are currently streaming on Amazon Prime.

The Craft: Legacy – Writer-director Zoe Lister Jones and the pic’s stars Cailee Spaeny, Gideon Adlon, Lovie Simone and Zoey Luna will chat about the cult hit reboot. The movie will debut Wednesday on PVOD and electronic sell-through domestic, with a big-screen release abroad.

Freaky – Writer-director Chris Landon, stars Vince Vaughn and Kathryn Newton, and Blum will chat about the body-swap horror comedy which hits theaters November 13 and select offshore markets via Universal.

Halloween Kills – Filmmaker David Gordon Green and the horror franchise’s scream queen Jamie Lee Curtis, producer Malek Akkad from Trancas Films and Miramax producer Bill Block and Blum will converse about the October 2021 release.

The Good Lord Bird – Ethan Hawke, EP, writer and star of the Showtime series and Blum, who’ve worked together over several projects, will discuss their most recent collaboration.

This sounds like it's going to be a pretty cool event, and I know there are a lot of horror fans who are going to want to see the HALLOWEEN KILLS panel for sure.
