AI-generated summary based on reporting by Kotaku.
Matthew Patrick, also known as MatPat, is teaming up with Blumhouse for a multi-project deal focused on adapting indie horror games into movies. The first project will be Amanda the Adventurer, a puzzle horror game from DreadXP.
Patrick built a huge following through his Game Theory videos, especially around Five Nights at Freddy’s. Those videos helped turn the game into a major franchise, and the film version became a big box office success for Blumhouse in 2023. Patrick also appeared in both that movie and its sequel.
At New York Comic Con, Patrick said the goal is to give standout indie horror games and online horror creators a bigger audience. The games he has helped popularize have become known for creepy mascots, deep lore, and stories built for spin-offs and cross-media projects.
No other projects in the deal have been announced yet. Patrick also made it clear that Slender Man will not be one of them, saying that idea has already been tried.
