We've got a huge and exciting news announcement to make fresh out of CinemaCon 2024, the highly-anticipated sequel to "Five Nights at Freddy's" will be heading to theaters in 2025. /Film's own Ryan Scott was in attendance when Universal made the announcement, a shocker to absolutely no one considering Blumhouse and Universal were fast-tracking a sequel to Emma Tammi's film adaptation of Scott Cawthon's impossibly popular video game franchise of the same name before the animatronic murder machines had a chance to recharge.
The decision was a result of the film's astronomically huge success at the box office, outperforming every other horror release of 2023, including Blumhouse and Universal's massive legacy film, "The Exorcist: Believer." What's even wilder is that "FNaF" went day-and-date with a streaming release on Peacock, meaning audiences had the opportunity to stay at home and scare themselves silly without having to dig into their pockets for tickets,...

Is there a word for becoming so obsessed with dissecting "Five Nights at Freddy's" that you slowly lose your mind? Fred-obsessed? Fazbear-pilled? Well, whatever it's called, I most certainly have it. The lore of "Five Nights at Freddy's" is convoluted at best and downright confusing the rest of the time, with plenty of questions left unintentionally answered so fans can spiral out of control with theories and become walking examples of the Pepe Silvia meme from "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia." At the beginning of September, I pointed out how the trailer for the film adaptation from Universal and Blumhouse depicted Mr. Cupcake (aka Carl) attacking a young vandal who broke into Freddy Fazbear's Pizza, a game mechanism that didn't show up until "Five Nights at Freddy's 4."

The "Five Nights at Freddy's" movie is still months away from release, but that isn't stopping fans from going frame by frame and picking apart the film's trailer looking for clues. All of the lore of the "FNaF" games is admittedly convoluted at best and confusing at worst, with tie-in books expanding storylines and in some cases, fan theories eventually becoming canonized by franchise creator, Scott Cawthon. Some of the smallest, most nothingburger moments in "Five Nights at Freddy's" canon have been later revealed as extremely important to the game's bigger picture, which is why it's odd that we've yet to actually see the pivotal event known as the "Bite of '87."
There are two major "Bites" in "FNaF" lore, one in 1983 and another in 1987. Before the "Bite of '87," animatronics were permitted to walk around the premises of Freddy Fazbear Pizzerias on their own, a key component to the...

Freddy Fazbear of may be the leader of the animatronic nightmare party from "Five Nights at Freddy's," but Chica the chicken has always been my favorite. She's the lady of the group and her singing is a treat, but keep an eye on your pizza 'cuz she's a bird who likes to eat! Donning a "Let's Eat!" bib and a beak filled with teeth for maximum noshing, Chica's adorably terrifying appearance makes her the strongest designed member of the crew. But Chica isn't alone, as she comes with an often buck-toothed companion, an animatronic cupcake sitting on the plate she holds. Freddy Fazbear's Pizzeria is a pretty popular place for children's birthday parties, so it's fitting that one of the characters would be in permanent celebration mode.
The Cupcake, aka Mr. Cupcake, aka Carl, is present with all forms of Chica, save for the 1980s Glamrock Chica, whose cupcake...

Hollywood has been trying to make a "Five Nights at Freddy's" film for nearly eight years, and this Halloween season, fans will finally get what they've been waiting for. Scott Cawthon's original "Five Nights at Freddy's" point-and-click survival horror game was an independent sensation, spawning a sprawling franchise and becoming the gateway to all things horror for a generation. There are games, books, toys, and enough fan art to fill a museum centered on the characters and their misadventures. While it doesn't seem like it'll be necessary to understand the full lore of the game to enjoy the movie, if you're the type of completionist who feels compelled to dive into the franchise before the film ... you might want to get started now. The release order of the nine canonical "Five Nights at Freddy's" games are as follows, including the year they debuted:
"Five Nights at Freddy's" (2014) "Five Nights...
"Five Nights at Freddy's" (2014) "Five Nights...

The horror mavens over at Blumhouse have finally released a teaser trailer for arguably their most highly-anticipated release, "Five Nights at Freddy's." The film is an adaptation of Scott Cawthon's absurdly popular video game series, which started out as an indie game on the Desura and later Steam platforms, but become a global phenomenon after footage of popular YouTube Let's Players Mark "Markiplier" Fischbach and Matthew "MatPat" Patrick getting scared out of their minds became viral sensations. In 2015, a year after the release of the game, Warner Bros. announced that they were going to adapt the game for the big screen. That, uh, obviously didn't ever come to fruition.
In 2017, things started picking up steam when Blumhouse announced that they were to be the new home of "Fnaf," but after a series of delays and director changes, fans started to give up hope that they'd ever see their beloved horror story in the theaters.
