Blumhouse’s contributions to the horror genre are inarguable and respect must be given to this from-the-ground-up powerhouse studio that started with an idea of low-budget horror while giving filmmakers the freedom of creativity to bring their horror dreams life. It started in 2007 with PARANORMAL ACTIVITY with a budget of $15,000, and ended up grossing $193 million worldwide. And it only grew from there.
If New Line was the house that Freddy built, certainly Blumhouse is the house that Toby built. Fight me.
