Interview: Jason Blum talks 'The Purge', making a horror box set with Ethan Hawke, and future plans

It's well known around these parts that I'm not really the guy who gravitates towards horror movies. That much remains true today, but there are exceptions, and when I do find myself loving a film in the genre it's always always from Jason Blum and the geniuses over at Blumhouse Productions. As the producer behind such horror hits as Paranormal Activity, Insidious, and Sinister, Blum has set the standard for small-budgeted films that turn into $100M blockbusters.

I had a chance to sit down with Blum and talk about his latest thriller, the high-concept home invasion film The Purge. We also talked about his love of working alongside Ethan Hawke, his hopes of tackling other genres, and what a sequel to The Purge might look like. You can listen to my interview with him below.

*NOTE* Sorry about the fuzzy audio on this one. You may need to turn the volume up just a little. I'll try to get it fixed and upload a better version.
