Subject: 96 Reasons Why I Belong at Blumhouse (But I’ll Only List Three)
Dear Blumhouse Team,
Let’s skip the pitch-deck pleasantries — you already know what you do best: turning human frailty into art that bites. I’m James H. Summers, dark-psychological horror author behind Bereft Reality, Picking Murphys, First Responder, Site 123, and They Heinous. My stories don’t flinch, and neither do the characters who crawl through them.
There are 96 reasons you and I should collaborate, but I’ll only list three:
-
Because my monsters look like us. I don’t write slashers hiding in shadows; I write the shadows we live with — guilt, addiction, obsession — until they stand up and answer back.
-
Because I already build universes the way you build franchises. My First Responder trilogy alone could anchor a cinematic arc that bleeds from realism into nightmare without losing its pulse.
-
Because horror’s next evolution isn’t louder — it’s smarter. You’ve proven that. I’ve written it. We should test that theory together.
All rights are clear. The Series Bible, pitch deck, and adaptation framework are ready to roll. What I need now isn’t permission — it’s a partner that knows what to do with moral decay, beautiful ruin, and a protagonist who feeds only at night.
If curiosity wins, I’ll send you the materials today.
If not — check under your desk. You might find Reason #97.
