Horror factory Blumhouse launches Blumhouse Games

Yes please.

Blumhouse Games is a new video game publisher coming from horror film factory Blumhouse, the folks behind the likes of Get Out, M3GAN and more.

Blumhouse Games “will partner with independent game developers to bring their creative vision to life via original, horror-themed games for console, PC and mobile audiences,” and will be led by President Zach Wood and CFO Don Sechler.

Wood has worked in video games for more than 25 years and has credits including Sound Shapes, Hohokum, The Unfinished Swan, Bound, Prey’s Mooncrash DLC and Arkane’s upcoming Redfall.

“For some time we have been looking to build out a team to start accessing the growth opportunity in interactive media. When we sat with Zach and Don they articulated an approach that resonated with Blumhouse’s model and we knew it was a perfect place for us to start our push into the interactive space.” said Abhijay Prakash, Blumhouse President. “With their experience, sensibility and knowledge of the gaming marketplace Zach and Don are the ideal leaders to leverage Blumhouse’s unique genre strengths into gaming.”

“Through my time in the industry, I’ve had the good fortune of working closely with developers to bring their ideas to life. There’s a unique opportunity for horror and genre in the indie game space, and I’m thrilled about teaming up with Blumhouse to meaningfully leverage the company’s brand, reputation, and creative talent,” added Zach Wood.

Steve's the owner and Editor-in-Chief of Stevivor.com, the country’s leading independent video games outlet. Steve arrived in Australia back in 2001 on what was meant to be a three-month working holiday before deciding to emigrate and, eventually, becoming a citizen.

Stevivor is a combination of ‘Steve’ and ‘Survivor’, which made more sense back in 2001 when Jeff Probst was up in Queensland. The site started as Steve’s travel blog before transitioning over into video games.

Aside from video games, Steve has interests in hockey and Star Trek, playing the former and helping to cover video games about the latter on TrekMovie.com. By day, Steve works as the communications manager of the peak body representing Victorians as they age.
