An obscure Blumhouse tweet has the fate of ‘The Exorcist’ sequel up in the air

'The Exorcist' fans aren't sure what to make of the ominous tweet.

As the months trickle down and spooky season slowly approaches, David Gordon Green’s much-anticipated sequel for The Exorcist remains at the forefront of many horror fans’ minds. While the spooky community patiently waits with bated breath for the upcoming film to haunt theaters come October, the fate of the project remains completely unknown — especially after a cryptic message from Blumhouse boss Jason Blum.

Over on his official Twitter account, Blum shared an obscure message to his thousands of followers, which included saying goodbye to Exorcist enthusiasts and insisting that “it was a pleasure” for Blumhouse to be along for the ride. Of course, such an ominous message unsurprisingly left genre diehards completely dumbfounded in regards to the film’s future. You can check out the post for yourself down below:

Like clockwork, some horror fans immediately dashed to express an overwhelming sense of dread while wondering if Blumhouse had pulled out of the project just months before the movie was expected to land in theaters. In actuality, the majority of genre stans were adamant that the tweet probably alluded to the fact that filming had already wrapped, and that Blum would now be shifting his focus to the upcoming Five Nights at Freddy’s live-action adaptation.

At this point, Blumhouse wrapping on The Exorcist production is nothing short of speculation. However, with how invested Blum was in crafting the sequel with Gordon and bringing the project to life, it seems unlikely that Blumhouse just cut ties with the film. Nevertheless, nothing in Hollywood is ever exactly certain, so horror fans will have to wait and see how the future months unfold.

The Exorcist sequel is set to haunt audiences on Oct. 13.
