Five Nights at Freddy’s 2, M3GAN 2.0 and The Black Phone 2 have new dates on the Blumhouse movie calendar.
The film industry never ceases to amaze us and this time, it comes from Blumhouse. The production company known for revolutionizing horror cinema has announced the release dates of three sequels that have fans on the edge of their seats. Let’s see what awaits us in the cinemas.
Here comes the scariest sequel: Five Nights at Freddy’s 2
To say expectations are high would be an understatement. After the phenomenal success of the first film based on the epic video game, Five Nights at Freddy’s 2 has become Blumhouse’s most anticipated film. It’s scheduled to debut on December 5, 2025, just in time to create a spooky atmosphere for the holidays.
The first episode left us with the story of Mike, played by Josh Hutcherson, who discovers that the restaurant where he works is not only abandoned, but also home to killer animatronics. This premise captivated us from start to finish, succeeding both in theaters and streaming on Peacock and becoming Blumhouse’s highest-grossing film.
Creativity and fear go hand in hand in M3GAN 2.0
To keep the adrenaline pumping, M3GAN 2.0 will hit theaters on June 27, 2025. Allison Williams and Violet McGraw reprise their roles in this series, providing more technological horror. Akela Cooper, who starred in Malignant and Dancing Dolls, returns to pen the script, while James Wan ensures production quality.
The first film introduces us to M3GAN, an artificial intelligence prototype designed to be the perfect companion for children, but it triggers a series of terrifying events. The anticipation for this sequel is palpable, especially after the small preview that the production company released six weeks ago.
Black Phone 2: El regreso de The Grabber
And in a suspicious field, the Black Phone 2 is set to be released on October 17, 2025. Ethan Hawke will once again play The Grabber, alongside Mason Thames and Madeleine McGraw. Written by Scott Derrickson and C. Robert Cargill, this sequel promises to continue the dark and immersive vein of the original.
Not content with just these series, Blumhouse and Universal are also bringing us The Woman in the Backyard and the thriller Drop with release dates of March and April 2025 respectively. Both films are designed to keep us on the edge of our seats, showcasing the production company’s versatility and mastery of the horror and horror genre.
With these productions on the horizon, horror movie fans have a lot to look forward to. Blumhouse, once again, not only promises but delivers chills, creativity and most importantly stories that will keep us talking long after we leave the cinema.
Blumhouse’s greatest hits
Blumhouse is a titan in the horror and thriller genre, noted for films that are not only scary, but also grab global attention. Among his biggest successes was the Jordan Peele-directed Get Out, which was not only a box office success but also redefining social horror cinema by winning the Oscar for Best Original Screenplay. Another great achievement is The Purge, which spawned a multi-million dollar franchise and television series exploring society and human behavior in a dystopian setting. Despite its low budget, Paranormal Activity revolutionized the genre with its found footage style, spawning numerous sequels and a strong fan base.
