At the moment,Blumhouse has 12 horror movies lined up for 2025and beyond. Some of these movies are completed and awaiting their 2025 release dates, while others are just mere ideas of films, with no titles or synopses. Regardless of their state of completion, all of these projects have the potential to be amazing. Their connections to previous horror franchises and their state-of-the-art casts and crews give them a solid foundation that will hopefully lead to their success.

11The Woman In The Yard
TBD
A much more mysterious Blumhouse release coming in 2025 isThe Woman in the Yard.Despite having an early 2025 release date, not much has been revealed about this film.It is being directed by Jaume Collet-Sera, who previously worked on films such asBlack Adam, Jungle Cruise,andOrphan.On top of that, the cast is led by Danielle Deadwyler, Okqui Okpokwasii, and Russell Hornsby. Notably, Deadwyler and Collet-Sera previously worked onCarry Ontogether.
At this point, viewers can only theorize about what this movie will be about. Based on the title, this could be a movie centered on stalking or surveillance in the sense that the woman in the yard is watching someone or being watched. Then again, the woman in the yard could also be a ghost or a demon haunting a house. Either way,The Woman in the Yardwill reveal all its secrets when it premieres on August 14, 2025.
10Drop
A First Date Goes Horrifically Wrong
A movie that leans more on the thriller side of the spectrum isDrop.This movie follows Violet, a widowed mother who goes out on a first date with a man named Henry. At first, the date goes well and Violet and Henry have a connection. However, their spark begins to flounder asViolet continues getting anonymous drops on her phone, instructing her to follow the directions or risk her family being killed.
New Blumhouse Horror Movie From Happy Death Day Director Sets Release Date
The upcoming Blumhouse horror movie Drop, from Happy Death Day director Christopher Landon, has announced its upcoming release date for 2025.
One of the most exciting elements of this movie, aside from its premise, is its lead actress, Meghann Fahy. Fahy rose to fame while onThe Bold Type,but got a serious boost after starring inThe White Lotusseason 2. Now,Dropwill see Fahy in an entirely different role as a widowed motherwho may be pushed to her absolute limit. The movie is set to be released on August 16, 2025.
9M3GAN 2.0
The Demonic Doll Returns
In 2022, the sci-fi horror filmM3GANdid surprisingly well, and now, its sequel is being developed for 2025. Though it has no synopsis yet,M3EGAN 2.0will see the returnof Allison Williams as Gemma and Violet McGraw as her younger sister Cady. Jenna Davis will also reprise her role as M3EGAN. Presumably,the plot will pick up after the end ofM3EGAN,wherein the doll transferred her AI processing system to Gemma’s virtual house assistant, leaving the sisters vulnerable to another attack.
M3GAN 2.0is being released on July 30, 2025.
Considering the enormous success ofM3GAN,its sequel has the chance to be another amazing addition to the franchise. The first movie earned a whopping $181 million at the box office and scored a 93% on Rotten Tomatoes, which are high standards that the second movie will have to meet. Yet, despite this pressure,M3GAN 2.0really only has to replicate its successful balance of silliness and shocking horror.
8Untitled Insidious Film
Next up on Blumhouse’s docket is an untitledInsidiousfilm.Insidiousoriginated in 2010 and has had four sequelssince then. The most recent film,Insidious: The Red Door,saw the return of Patrick Wilson and Ty Simpkins after ten years, when Dalton is off to college but is still being haunted by the horrific creatures in The Further. Now,a sixthInsidiousmovie has been announced, though very little is known about the cast or the story.
Patrick Wilson has starred in two major James Wan horror franchises:InsidiousandThe Conjuring.
So far, there is no information aboutInsidious 6’scast or crew. There has been no word about the return of Wilson, Simpkins, or any other member ofInsidious’original cast. It is possible that, like otherInsidioussequels, the movie will return to The Further but with an entirely new set of characters. The movie is set to premiere on June 26, 2025.
7The Black Phone 2
Yet another popular horror movie getting a sequel in 2025 isThe Black Phone.Written and directed by Scott Derrickson and based on a novel by Joe Hill,The Black Phonefollows a terrifying child abductor called The Grabberand the young boy who he kidnaps, who uses a phone to the afterlife to save himself from certain death. Apparently, the sequel is going to see the return of various main cast members, including Ethan Hawke, Mason Thames, and Madeleine McGraw.
The Black Phone 2 Doesn’t Need Ethan Hawke - The Story Just Needs To Go In This Direction Instead
Ethan Hawke’s 2021 horror movie doesn’t need to continue with another sequel. It needs to tell an origin story of his sadistic serial killer.
Once again, there has been no confirmation of whatThe Black Phone 2will be about, but it’s possible to theorize. At the end ofThe Black Phone,The Grabber is killed by Finney, yet this death may not have been as permanent as it seemed. The Grabber could return with a vengeance against Finney. Another option is thatThe Grabber could taunt Finney and his sister from beyond the grave, in the same way that Finney could connect with The Grabber’s victims from beyond the grave.
6Five Nights At Freddy’s 2
One more sequel coming out of Blumhouse in the next year isFive Nights at Freddy’s 2.After the first movie’s record-breaking success in 2023, a sequel was quickly confirmed and is currently in development. While this is yet another movie that has no solid synopses yet,it seems likely that the movie will draw on elements of the secondFive Nights at Freddy’svideo game, which follows security guards Jeremy Fitzgerald and Fritz Smith as they defend themselves against Freddy and his animatronic friends.
Like the plot,it is unclear whether theFive Nights at Freddy’scast will return, though it seems likely, as Josh Hutcherson has spoken openly about the sequel and Elizabeth Lail’s Vanessa ended the movie in a coma. Most likely, the sequel will continue the story of the first movie while also including parts of the second video game.Five Nights at Freddy’s 2is set for release on July 11, 2025.
5SOULM8TE
A Man’s Robotic Lover Turns Murderous
As it turns out, theM3GANfranchise will not be ending withM3GAN 2.0.Blumhouse is also developing a spinoff entitledSOULM8TE.Apparently,this movie will take place in the same universe and follows a man who purchases an AI robotafter the death of his wife. However, in his attempts to make his android lover more human, he creates a dangerous being. The movie is being marketed as an erotic thriller, which sets it apart from its horror-comedy predecessor.
Dolan toldDeadlinethat she “view[s] this film as an exploration of relationships and loneliness,” but with a technological bend.
SOULM8TEhas no cast at the moment, but the movie is being directed by Kate Dolan, who previously worked onYou Are Not My Mother.Dolan toldDeadlinethat she “view[s] this film as an exploration of relationships and loneliness,” but with a technological bend. It seems that this movie will be reminiscent ofmovies likeHerandEx-Machina,but with a more thriller edge. Perhaps M3GAN will even make an appearance.
4Untitled Exorcist Film
An Exorcist Reboot
One of Blumhouse’s most exciting upcoming projects isanExorcistreboot directed by Mike Flanagan. BothThe Exorcistand Flanagan have long histories in the horror genre, which is what makes the collaboration so awesome. AlthoughThe Exorcistis a pillar of the horror genre, its newer movies have been panned as unoriginal. Meanwhile,Flanagan has earned a reputation as a horror genius after creating projects likeThe Haunting of Hill HouseandThe Fall of the House of Usher.

3Untitled Lee Cronin Film
The upcoming Blumhouse movie with the least amount of information attached to it is the next Lee Cronin horror movie. Cronin is an Irish filmmaker who directed 2019’sThe Hole in the Groundand 2023’sEvil Dead Rise.In 2024,Cronin signed a deal with Blumhouse to write and direct yet another horror film, though it isn’t clear what this movie will be about.
