Looking to have a hauntingly good time? Then you might want to stop by Freddy Fazbear’s Pizzeria this Halloween season, and visit with Bonnie, Chica, Foxy and Freddy Fazbear himself … this week, the popular horror video game, Five Nights at Freddy’s is finally coming to the big screen, courtesy of Blumhouse, Jim Henson’s Creature Shop and the Josh Hutcherson Renaissance. Joining Hutcherson in the cast is You Season 1 star Elizabeth Lail, Piper Rubio, Mary Stuart Masterson, and Matthew Lillard. Much like the videogame, the film follows the new late night security guard working at Freddy Fazbear’s Pizzeria, where the old animatronics seem to have developed minds — and vendettas — of their own.
The cheeky, nostalgic new horror movie premieres later this week. Here’s everything you need to know about how to watch Five Nights at Freddy’s.
