After releasing a batch of horror films throughout the month of October, Blumhouse Productions has once again provided Halloween and horror enthusiasts with something else to liven up their spirits this All Hallows Eve: A virtual festival called “BlumFest”.
Like DC’s FanDome event earlier this year, the BlumFest (which took place on October 29) was chock-full of breaking news about upcoming film and tv projects, sneak peaks, exclusive interviews, virtual panels, and surprise guests. The event streamed on Blumhouse’s Facebook and YouTube pages at 1:00 PM ET/10:00 AM PT.
