I am taking some of my all-time favorite indie games and horror channels from the interwebs and partnering with Blumhouse to bring them to the big screen,\u201d MatPat said at the panel.<\/p>\n<p><span data-cy=\"slideshow-view-trigger\"><\/p>\n<div data-cy=\"slideshow-preview\" class=\"jsx-1711207865 slideshow-preview\">\n<h3 class=\"title5 jsx-62124236 jsx-1085005187\" data-cy=\"slideshow-preview-title\">Amanda the Adventurer Screens<\/h3>\n<div data-cy=\"slideshow-images-container\" class=\"jsx-1711207865 images-container\"><button type=\"button\" data-cy=\"hero-image\" aria-label=\"Open Slideshow\" class=\"jsx-1711207865 hero-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt aria-hidden=\"true\" role=\"presentation\" class=\"progressive-image jsx-2277167929 image aspect-ratio aspect-ratio-16-9 jsx-2605834259 jsx-2338608387 hover-opacity\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/imdbnews.ir\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/blumhouse-partners-with-matpat-to-make-amanda-the-adventurer-movie-confirms-more-indie-horror-game-adaptations-are-coming-nycc-2026.gif\" data-cy=\"progressive-image\"><\/button><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">The first of these is Amanda the Adventurer, a first-person, puzzle-solving indie horror game that sees the player character unravel an unsettling mystery involving a low-budget animated children\u2019s show of the same name.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">MatPat announced that he and Blumhouse are currently in talks with writers and directors, saying they\u2019re \u201cactually moving fast\u201d to get this project made. <\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">\u201cIt\u2019s horror with heart. Amanda is this horrifying but tragic character. It asks the question, \u2018Can you trust the media being put in front of your kids?\u2019\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">This is the latest YouTuber-led film project to hit the news after Sean \u2018Jacksepticeye\u2019 McLoughlin revealed he was at the helm of an animated Bloodborne movie. And earlier this year, YouTube star Mark \u2018Markiplier\u2019 Fischbach stunned moviegoers with his self-funded horror movie Iron Lung, an adaptation of an indie horror game of the same name.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">Indie horror games have always had a strong audience online, and it seems that major studios are finally taking notice \u2014 especially after the success of Kane Parson\u2019s Backrooms earlier this year. The film was such a hit that other creepypasta movies were greenlit in short order, including adaptations of The Mandela Catalogue, Siren Head, and even The SCP Foundation.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">Given the viral nature of Amanda the Adventurer, there\u2019s a few good guesses as to what movies MatPat and Blumhouse are cooking up next. Probably all one needs to do is look at CoryxKenshin\u2019s YouTube channel \u2014 could a Puppet Combo movie be on the way? (Nun Massacre would be wild to see in a theater.)<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">For more New York Comic Con news, check out our hub of everything major announced at the convention&#8217;s Marvel panel, as well as a new Avatar: The Last Airbender show and our interview with Daredevil star Charlie Cox.<\/p>\n<section class=\"author-sign-off\" data-cy=\"author-sign-off\"><span class=\"stack jsx-59817748 jsx-1927875859\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"rounded jsx-444076027 jsx-1730475047 profile-thumb jsx-2141281959 aspect-ratio aspect-ratio-1-1\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Virginia Glaze Avatar\" class=\"progressive-image profile-thumb-img jsx-249361588 jsx-2338608387 expand\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/imdbnews.ir\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/blumhouse-partners-with-matpat-to-make-amanda-the-adventurer-movie-confirms-more-indie-horror-game-adaptations-are-coming-nycc-2026.jpg\" data-cy=\"progressive-image\"><\/div>\n<p><span class=\"stack jsx-2509706801 jsx-3630940851\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"interface jsx-1132626198 sign-off-text\">\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\"><em>Virginia (she\/her) is IGN\u2019s News Editor.
