Five Night's at Freddy's
Published 2 years, 10 months ago
Description
With Horrortober 9 in the rearview, we make one last stop in Horrotown for a film almost a decade in the making: Five Night's at Freddy's. Scary Stories We Tell's Emma Mantell and Dustin Rutledge join the episode to talk FNAF lore, the movie's RT score, and where the series goes from here.
Josh Hutcherson stars as Mike, a man plagued by memories of his brother who was kidnapped, who gets a job at the titular pizzeria so he can attempt to keep custody of his sister. Along the way, he finds out that the night security job may be much more than he bargained for when it turns out the animatronics may be possessed by the ghosts of other missing children. It's a wild ride that is as much fan service as it is an interesting entry into the horror mega-franchise.
