LATIN HORROR founder Edwin Pagán interviewed Blumhouse impresario and genre producing icon, JASON BLUM, whose vast horror portfolio as a producer has shaped the movie-going landscape and taste for more than a decade: Paranormal Activity (franchise), The Purge (franchise), Insidious, Jessabelle, The Green Inferno, Black Christmas (2019), Oculus (reviewed by LH here), GET OUT, Into the Dark TV series, and another 200 titles! More recently he has launched the Welcome to Blumhouse series of made-for-TV streaming features that favor emerging directors and stories of color (BINGO HELL, Black As Night, and Madres).

The phone interview (please excuse the quality) was conducted on October 6, 2021 in advance of the release of David Gordon Green’s HALLOWEEN KILLS, (which hits on October 15th), wherein we discus the Halloween franchise, the seeds and path of his career in the industry, his subsequent success in producing genre films, his formation of Blumhouse, and why he has championed creatives of color and diversity via his platform.

Make sure to catch HALLOWEEN KILLS starting October 15th: in a theater near you and streaming only on Peacock TV.
