The horror powerhouses of Blumhouse Productions and Atomic Monster have now completed their merger, putting the likes of Paranormal Activity, Saw, The Exorcist, Halloween, and more under one roof.
As reported by Deadline, Blumhouse CEO Jason Blum announced the deal's completion on X/Twitter. "Our deal is done," the famed horror producer said. "Blumhouse and Atomic Monster have officially joined forces. The preeminent homes for horror are now under one roof."

The post also included a reel of all the franchises united through the deal, which also includes The Conjuring, Five Nights at Freddy's, Night Swim, M3GAN, Happy Death Day, The Black Phone, Ma, Annabelle, The Nun, Split, The Purge, Get Out, The Curse of La Llorona, Insidious, Malignant, The Invisible Man, Lights Out, and more.
The companies' merging was announced in November 2022, though both companies will continue to operate as separate labels with their own identities.
Partnering will seemingly allow for an increased output, however, and also grant Atomic Monster access to Blumhouse's existing infrastructure to further take advantage of untapped markets like TV, video games, live experiences, audio, and more. Atomic Monster will also gain the same first-look deal Blumhouse has with Universe Pictures.
