Before it even opens in theaters fans are already drooling like a dog with rabies over the new Halloween movie. Well, what we are about to say is going to say may their blow minds, Blumhouse is already planning for sequels! Yeah, for sure, for sure, 100 percent,” Blum told EW. “Let me tell you, if we got six movies out of [Paranormal Activity] — they found new footage five times in a row! — I feel like we can figure out the next chapter.
