'Five Nights at Freddy’s' Director on Incorporating the Game, Jim Henson’s Creature Shop, & More!

[@jessebartlett2003]

The fact that they worked so closely with Scott and also the youtubers that made this franchise what it is makes me so stoked for this movie

Yeah, all of the creators seem to be very passionate about this movie! For that reason ALONE I think the movie will be good.

[@jayceepenny]

It's so surreal to hear Five Nights at Freddy's being discussed in the mainstream world, and hearing Scott Cawthon's name in a Fandango interview! So excited for the movie and I can't believe how far we've come. Also whoever chose purple lighting behind the interviewer needs a raise.

Emma's amazing, yesterday I got the opportunity to see her and Jason Blum speak about the movie at NYCC. They're truly so passionate and care abut the fans. I saw her in the subway later and she waved and smiled at me since I was cosplaying the marionette from fnaf 2 :D

@Voiple I watched some of markiplier's game plays and some funny youtubers, but I did not watch them all of the consecutively, so I wouldn't understand the sequence of order of events in the game.

[@starrybook]

One of the reasons this actually makes me excited is that there's mention of a lot of humor. the fnaf franchise has always been filled with humor. from a perfect 72 degrees to the honking of freddy's nose.

[@novustalks7525]

Humour only really started with Sl

[@dmaxwell910901]

​@@novustalks7525 Not really. From the very original, there was stuff like the honking of Freddy's nose and the dark humour in Phone Guy's messages.

[@Danny328DT]

The thing that amazes me is that they got someone to make actual animatronics. They could have made it with CGI, but they went the extra mile.

[@slowpoke8585]

To be honest, I’ve NEVER played a single FNAF game, but I enjoy watching lore videos on it and watching my nephew play the games. I saw the movie with my nephew and we had a blast! It was a FUN movie! I seriously can’t wait for the next movie! Everyone did an amazing job on this film!

[@MorningDusk7734]

Having seen the movie the other day, all I can say is go into it with the understanding that it's in the same canonicity situation as the books. Same universe, same rules, same franchise, different plot points. That being said, go in ready to have some fun, and watch the background for easter eggs! Always be ready to apply a controlled shock to keep everyone in line💛
