\n\tBlumhouse Atomic Monster<\/a> revealed at New York Comic Con<\/a> that it inked a deal with horror content creator Heidi Wong. Under the deal, Wong will create original horror shorts for the studio. <\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cI guess I won\u2019t give too much away about the plot, but I will say it\u2019s inspired by Eastern mythology and folklore and I grew up in Asia, so it\u2019s very close to me,\u201d Wong said when announcing the project alongside Jason Blum at the Blumfest panel at New York Comic Con Friday. \u201cAnd to have Blumhouse\u2019s support really means so, so much.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tWong, who was featured on Time\u2019s 2025 100 Creators List and Forbes 30 Under 30, is best known for telling and reenacting stories on social media based on horror movies. She also shares recommendations and ratings for films in the genre. Wong\u2019s love of horror goes back to her childhood, when she taught herself English by reading scary stories. <\/p>\n

\n\tWong, known as \u201cThe Horror Queen\u201d to her fans, has a global fanbase of over 8 million followers. She\u2019s helped create content for Netflix, Sony, 20th Century Studios, Paramount Pictures, Universal and AMC. Before she posted her first storytelling TikTok in 2020, Wong earned six consecutive national art competition wins and received nominations for the Pushcart Prize and Dylan Thomas Prize for her poetry collection \u201cTurning to Wallpaper.\u201d Wong recently completed her Master of Fine Arts in Poetry from New York University.<\/p>\n

\n\tBlumhouse Atomic Monster is one of the most productive horror studios in Hollywood. It was behind two of the biggest genre hits of 2026: \u201cObsession\u201d and \u201cThe Backrooms.\u201d This year, Blumhouse released \u201cSoulM8ate,\u201d \u201cThe Uprising,\u201d \u201cFive Nights at Freddy\u2019s 2,\u201d \u201cLee Cronin\u2019s The Mummy,\u201d \u201cInsidious: Out of the Further,\u201d and most recently, \u201cOther Mommy.\u201d Upcoming releases from the studio include \u201cPlay House,\u201d Curry Barker\u2019s \u201cAnything But Ghosts,\u201d \u201cThe Exorcist: Martyrs,\u201d a \u201cParanormal Activity\u201d sequel and a \u201cBlair Witch Project\u201d reboot. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Blumhouse Atomic Monster revealed at New York Comic Con that it inked a deal with horror content creator…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":876897,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[52],"tags":[205285,88,206,121268],"class_list":["post-876896","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-movies","tag-blumhouse-atomic-monster","tag-entertainment","tag-movies","tag-new-york-comic-con"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/876896","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=876896"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/876896\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/876897"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=876896"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=876896"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=876896"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
