Blumhouse to Develop a Movie Based on Phasmophobia

So, here’s the scoop — that game, Phasmophobia (you know, the ghost-hunting virtual playground), is getting a film. Oh, yeah! Blumhouse and this Atomic Monster crew are throwing their hats in the ring. Maybe they’ll turn it into something spooky? Or just touch of creepy fun. Beats me, but let’s see.

This dude, Daniel Knight — he’s kind of the big cheese over at Kinetic Games — was all jazzed up. He’s like, “We’re pumped, blah blah, film’s cooking up.” Or something like that. Who knows what he really meant? But he seemed pretty stoked. Five years ago, who would’ve thought this game would blow up? Not me, that’s for sure.

Phasmophobia popped up back when we couldn’t even hug our friends in 2020. And bam! Ghost hunting turned into an obsession. Kind of genius, honestly. People playing as ghost busters, figuring out if that flickering light is Casper or some angry spirit. Anyway, it’s funny ‘cause it feels a lot like those Ghost Hunters episodes. Who’d have thunk it’d become a movie, right? Oh, and heads up — there’s a Chronicle update coming. New maps or some such thing later. Can’t remember exact details, but you get the idea.

Now, Blumhouse, they’ve been around the block a few times. Maybe a million. Freaky stuff like Five Nights at Freddy’s and all that. So, they probably know what they’re doing with this ghostly gig. Atomic Monster? Those guys did The Conjuring, so… fingers crossed they can scare our pants off once more.
