When it comes to iconic games, one series has stood the test of time and is now ready to jump into a completely new realm. That series is Five Nights at Freddy’s.
For the first time, this story is headed away from the computer screen and onto the big screen as Blumhouse sets its sights on the first movie inspired by this franchise. A FNAF film is something fans have been awaiting for a long time, and, fortunately, it’s almost here.
If you’re eager to catch this movie and looking to plan your schedule around its release, here is all that you need to know about when you can see the movie for the first time.
When does the Five Nights at Freddy’s movie release?
The Five Nights at Freddy’s film will arrive on Friday, Oct. 27, according to an Instagram post from Blumhouse, which teases the flick with an eerie image and a hint toward the “blood-chilling cinematic event.”
The timing is absolutely perfect for a flick like Five Nights at Freddy’s. The horror film is set to slink into theaters just ahead of Halloween, providing horror fans, FNAF fans, and gore-hounds in general with the perfect entertainment to ring in the holiday.
In even better news, audiences with a taste for smaller-scale horror won’t have to wait to enjoy the movie from the comfort of their homes. While Five Nights at Freddy’s is headed to theaters, for those social fans to enjoy on the big screen, it will also enjoy a Peacock release on the very same day.
This means you won’t need to leave the house to catch the movie on Oct. 27 — instead, you can park up on the couch and enjoy this one from home.
A quick blurb, included on the Instagram post from Blumhouse, additionally lists some of the talent set to appear in the film, and describes the plot as following “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.”
Among the talented cast set to bring Five Nights at Freddy’s to the big screen are Josh Hutcherson, best known as Peeta in The Hunger Games, Scooby Doo and Scream‘s Matthew Lillard, and You‘s Elizabeth Lail.
