As the founder of Blumhouse Productions, a studio that has given us a number of iconic horror franchises and titles over more than a decade, Jason Blum is happy to go all out in honor of Halloween, with this year seeing him embrace the spirit of the upcoming film M3GAN as this year’s costume. While the film might not be hitting theaters for another two months, the first trailer has already gained viral attention on social media, thanks to the creepy image of a life-sized doll carrying out impressive physical feats, with these clips and now Blum’s costume having us even more excited for the actual film to be released. M3GAN is slated to hit theaters on January 6th.

Blum took to Twitter to show off looks at his ensemble, after first teasing the makeup process throughout the night.

From the most prolific minds in horror — James Wan, the filmmaker behind theย Saw,ย Insidious,ย andย The Conjuringย franchises, and Blumhouse, the producer of theย Halloweenย films,ย The Black Phone,ย andย The Invisible Manย — comes a fresh new face in terror.ย M3GANย is a marvel of artificial intelligence, a life-like doll programmed to be a child’s greatest companion and a parent’s greatest ally. Designed by brilliant toy-company roboticist Gemma (Get Out‘sย Allison Williams), M3GAN can listen and watch and learn as she becomes friend and teacher, playmate and protector,ย for the child she is bonded to. ย 

When Gemma suddenly becomes the caretaker of her orphaned 8-year-old niece, Cady (Violet McGraw,ย The Haunting of Hill House), Gemma’s unsure and unprepared to be a parent. Under intense pressure at work, Gemma decides to pair her M3GAN prototype with Cady in an attempt to resolve both problems —ย a decision that will have unimaginable consequences.

Produced by Jason Blum and James Wan,ย M3GANย is directed by award-winning filmmaker Gerard Johnstone (Housebound), from a screenplay by Akela Cooper (Malignant, The Nun 2) based on a story by Akela Cooper and James Wan.

The film also stars Ronny Chieng (Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings), Brian Jordan Alvarez (Will & Grace), Jen Van Epps (Cowboy Bebop), Lori Dungey (The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring, extended edition), and Stephane Garneau-Monten (Straight Forward).

Universal Pictures and Blumhouse present an Atomic Monster production in association with Divide/Conquer. The film’s executive producers are Allison Williams, Mark Katchur, Ryan Turek, Michael Clear, Judson Scott, Adam Hendricks, and Greg Gilreath.

M3GAN lands in theaters on January 6th.ย
