It’s time for Five Nights At Freddy’s to hit the big screen, the pizzeria where all your wildest Chuck E Cheese animatronic nightmares will come to life.
It all started as a game (created by Scott Cawthon) that used to scare the absolute daylights out of children. My daughter for one was obsessed with it, I would hear her randomly shriek in the other room and know exactly what she was doing, even if it was after her bedtime. Now Cawthon has co-written a film with Seth Cuddeback, that was directed by Emma Tammi (The Wind) and Five Nights At Freddy’s is on its way to theaters this October.
The description from the filmmakers reads as follows, “A troubled security guard begins working at Freddy Fazbear’s Pizzeria. While spending his first night on the job, he realizes the late shift at Freddy’s won’t be so easy to make it through.” Of course, the security guard they are referring to is played by Josh Hutcherson (The Hunger Games) and he will be joined by a very talented cast including, Elizabeth Lail, Piper Rubio, Kat Conner Sterling, Mary Stuart Masterson, Grant Feely, and one I’m very excited about, Matthew Lillard (Scream, 13 Ghosts).
Five Nights At Freddy’s will be opening in theaters on October 27th, 2023 from Blumhouse Pictures and that really only leaves one final question; can you survive Five Nights At Freddy’s?
