Jason Blum & James Wan In Talks To Join Forces, Creating A Horror Powerhouse

When it comes to horror, there are two names that every fan knows, Jason Blum who owns Blumhouse, known for churning out chilling horror films, and James Wan who owns Atomic Monster, who has been involved in one way or another with a horde of hit horror films, including the Saw franchise and The Conjuring universe. News has come (via Variety) that the two are currently in talks to merge, making one mega-horror powerhouse. So how would it work exactly?
