Blumhouse Blackout London: Terrifying event that will leave visitors 'sleeping with light on'

A new event that ‘is not for the faint-hearted’ is set to be the talk of London this Halloween.

Blumhouse Blackout is a unique and terrifying Halloween experience run by Universal Pictures and Blumhouse - the creators of some of the world’s most terrifying horror movies including The Exorcist and Insidious.

The scary event sold out with alarming speed, as adrenaline junkies and horror movie fans signed up to scare themselves silly.

Opening for a limited time in London’s Soho district, this two-floored immersive experience will take horror fans deep into iconic Blumhouse experiences, including The Black Phone, The Purge films, and M3GAN.

It will unleash iconic characters in a multi-sensory experience like no other. Yep, they were right about it not being for the faint of heart.

Combining interactive sets with a 3D binaural sound experience brought to life by pioneers Darkfield, ‘Blumhouse Blackout’ will unleash a unique horror experience through noise-cancelling headphones, lighting, effects, and interactive performance.

Plunged at times into pitch black, visitors will contend with the likes of the sinister Grabber, blood-thirsty Purgers, as well as the dark recesses of their own mind.

With event organisers warning that ‘Blumhouse Blackout’ is not for the faint of heart, this first-of-its-kind experience promises to live long in the memory and leave participants sleeping with a light on…

Blumhouse is the driving force in horror, producing over 200 movies and television series with theatrical grosses of almost $6 billion in global box office.

Blumhouse is home to the highest number of ongoing franchises of any studio, including Halloween, The Purge, The Black Phone, Paranormal Activity, The Exorcist, Insidious, M3GAN, and Five Nights at Freddy's, along with iconic films from cinematic visionaries including Jordan Peele's Get Out, Damien Chazelle's Whiplash and Spike Lee's BlacKkKlansman.

In January 2024, Blumhouse merged with James Wan’s Atomic Monster, which has produced its own successful film franchises including The Conjuring, Aquaman, Annabelle, The Nun , and Mortal Kombat.
