Blumhouse Atomic Monster has locked in a new horror short film deal with Heidi Wong — and it’s not just another influencer collab. The studio announced the project at New York Comic Con, where Wong, known to fans as ‘The Horror Queen,’ took the stage with Jason Blum to confirm she’ll be crafting original horror shorts rooted in Eastern mythology. She didn’t spill plot details, but did say the work is deeply personal: 'I grew up in Asia, so it’s very close to me.' That line landed harder than any jump scare. Her childhood wasn’t spent watching Netflix. It was spent teaching herself English by reading scary stories. Now, she’s stepping into the same space that birthed The Backrooms and Obsession. And yes, those were both hits. This isn’t just content. It’s legacy-building. Wong, who counts over eight million followers across platforms, rose from poetry slams and Pushcart Prize nominations to TikTok storytelling stardom. Before her first viral horror reenactment in 2020, she’d already won six national art contests and earned a Master of Fine Arts in Poetry from NYU. She’s worked with Netflix, Sony, Universal, AMC, and now, she’s getting the full studio treatment. Blumhouse Atomic Monster’s 2026 slate was stacked: SoulM8ate, Other Mommy, Five Nights at Freddy’s 2, Lee Cronin’s The Mummy. Up next? A Paranormal Activity sequel, a Blair Witch reboot, and Play House. With Wong on board, expect something darker, older, and more mythic than the usual jump-scare formula. The question isn’t whether this will be watched. It’s whether it’ll finally make Hollywood listen to voices that weren’t born in LA. But grew up in the shadows between stories.
