Horror has not quite given up the ghost yet, and neither has Blum whose production company Blumhouse Productions leads the way in making horror movies on tiny budgets that turn big profits and use new distribution models. “The Purge” will see a third installment next year, while this summer’s “The Gift” and “The Visit,” all produced by Blum, served up real life fright.

The producer suggested that his 2013 movie “The Purge,” about a society in which all crime is legal for 12 hours, may usher in an era of psychological horror that humans can inflict on each other.

“Horror has been more supernatural than bloody, and I think that had a lot to do with the ‘Paranormal Activity,’” franchise producer Jason Blum told Reuters in an interview.īut as “Paranormal Activity” wraps up with “Ghost Dimension,” Blum believes horror may be taking a more psychological and human turn. Katie’s possession by a demon named ‘Toby’ led to four more films and a spin-off, and brought a slew of ghost-centric micro-budget movies, replacing the gory fare that dominated horror in the 2000s, such as “Saw” and Eli Roth’s “Hostel.” “Paranormal Activity,” a found-footage, or pseudo documentary style, horror made for around $15,000 and acquired by Paramount Pictures, revolutionized the horror movie genre after grossing $193 million worldwide. “Paranormal Activity: The Ghost Dimension,” which opened last weekend just in time to entice the Halloween revelers, concludes the tale that began in 2009 with Katie and Micah, a couple who are stalked at home by a supernatural entity.
