If Chuck E Cheese gave you nightmares, you might want to just go ahead and cross Five Nights at Freddy’s off your must-see list. If not, then the new trailer showcasing the animatronic characters will probably make you move the film higher up on that same list.
Based on the popular video games created by Scott Cawthon, Five Nights at Freddy’s stars Josh Hutcherson (The Hunger Games franchise), Elizabeth Lail (You), Piper Rubio (Unstable), and Kat Conner Sterling (We Have a Ghost). Mary Stuart Masterson (Blindspot) and Matthew Lillard (Good Girls) also star in the creepy film adaptation.
Creator Cawthon wrote the screenplay along with Emma Tammi and Seth Cuddeback. Tammi directs and Cawthon and Jason Blum serve as producers. Bea Sequeira, Russell Binder, Marc Mostman, and Christopher H. Warner executive produce.
Jim Henson’s Creature Shop created the film’s animatronic characters.
Universal Pictures will release Five Nights at Freddy’s in theaters and streaming on Peacock on October 27, 2023.

Can you survive five nights?
The terrifying horror game phenomenon becomes a blood-chilling cinematic event, as Blumhouse — the producer of M3GAN, The Black Phone, and The Invisible Man — brings Five Nights at Freddy’s to the big screen.
The film follows a troubled security guard as he begins working at Freddy Fazbear’s Pizza. While spending his first night on the job, he realizes the night shift at Freddy’s won’t be so easy to make it through.
