Blumhouse Is Turning a White House Exorcism Comic Into a Movie

-

Blumhouse-Atomic Monster is bringing a chilling new horror story to the big screen—one that takes place inside the White House itself.

The famous horror studio is developing a film adaptation of The Exorcism at 1600 Penn, a graphic novel written by Hannah Rose May and illustrated by Vanesa Del Rey. The project blends supernatural horror with political tension, making it one of Blumhouse’s most unique upcoming films.

What Is The Exorcism at 1600 Penn About?

The story centers on Kelly Doyle, the newly elected first female President of the United States. As political pressure builds and global tensions rise, Kelly is already struggling to balance her responsibilities as a leader and a mother to two teenagers.

But things take a terrifying turn when the White House becomes the site of a demonic possession. What follows is a supernatural battle between good and evil inside the most powerful building in America.

The graphic novel mixes classic exorcism horror with modern political drama, turning the White House into a literal battleground.

Why Blumhouse Chose This Story

According to Blumhouse executive Ryan Turek, the studio was immediately drawn to how realistic and emotional the story feels—despite its supernatural elements.

He explained that the comic successfully combines traditional possession horror with current political anxiety, creating a story that feels urgent, grounded, and human. This balance is exactly what Blumhouse looks for when exploring new ideas within the horror genre.

The studio is now searching for the right filmmaker to bring the story to life on screen.

The Creator Is Thrilled About the Adaptation

Hannah Rose May shared her excitement about working with Blumhouse, calling the partnership a dream come true. She praised the studio for shaping modern horror and said she couldn’t imagine a better home for the film adaptation.

She also thanked IDW Publishing, which released the comic, for helping bring the story to audiences worldwide.

Blumhouse’s Growing Horror Slate

This project is just one part of Blumhouse’s busy future lineup. The studio is also moving forward with a new Exorcist film directed by Mike Flanagan, with Scarlett Johansson reportedly set to star. Blumhouse hopes this reboot will revive the franchise after mixed reactions to The Exorcist: Believer.

In addition, Blumhouse is still developing:

While some projects have taken longer than expected, The Exorcism at 1600 Penn stands out as a fresh and timely horror concept.
