Phasmophobia is getting the Hollywood treatment

Paranormal horror game Phasmophobia is being adapted into a movie by Blumhouse Productions and Atomic Monster, in partnership with the games developer Kinetic Games. Blumhouse is a major player in the horror genre, having produced the Purge and Paranormal Activity franchises as well as Get Out, The Invisible Man and many more. Atomic Monster produced all the films in The Conjuring universe since 2016’s The Conjuring Two.

First released on PCs in 2020, Phasmophobia quickly became a pandemic-era hit, with ">YouTubers and streamers racking up millions of views playing the multiplayer survival game. The game follows one to four players as they work to complete a contract requiring them to identify the type of ghost haunting a specific site.

The horror genre has risen in popularity over recent years in both video games and the film business. In 2023 Blumhouse adapted the video game horror series Five Nights at Freddy’s into a film, which went on to be the highest grossing film in its history. Blumhouse has also begun making video games in-house, and released its first game, Fear the Spotlight, last year.

Blumhouse Productions announced the Phasmophobia adaptation at its first-ever “Business of Fear” event in Hollywood, where founder and CEO Jason Blum and Atomic Monster founder and CEO James Wan spoke about the business of horror movies. No distributor or release date has been announced yet.
