Welcome to the Blumhouse is a film series[2] consisting of theme-related anthological horror stories, developed and produced by Blumhouse Productions for Prime Video as Amazon Prime Originals. Announced as an ongoing collaboration between the companies, the films include "distinctive vision[s] and unique perspective[s] on common themes". The first four incorporate "family and love as redemptive or destructive forces",[3] while the next four releases center around "institutional horrors and personal phobias."[4]

The first four films in the anthology series were advertised and streamable as double features; the first two films on October 6, followed by the next two installments on October 13, 2020. The series continued in 2021, with two movies released on October 1, and the next two released on October 8.[3][5][6]
