Five Nights at Freddy's : Behind the Scenes

Fans of the incredible Five Nights at Freddy’s games have been waiting for almost a decade to see the film version of this wild and scary story. And the wait is nearly over, as the movie premieres on October 27th, 2023. While there have been many theories on what the movie will be like, and many rumors about the filming, we finally know some things about the process, the release, and what people involved in making the movie think about it. In this video, we’re taking you behind the scenes of Five Nights at Freddy’s. We go through some of the fun facts we’ve learned about the making of the movie, like how long it took to create the animatronic characters, and specifically who made them (you’re gonna be very pleasantly surprised, we think). We talk about which of those animatronic characters is the favorite among the crew, the producer, and the director. And we get into the wild process of nearly 10 years that it’s taken for this movie to become a reality. We’ll also take you through some of the issues fans have posted about over the course of the release, and what the studio has said in response. Plus we’ll talk about how the fanbase was split on whether to watch a leaked trailer in May of 2023. And much more. So for some fun behind the scenes info on this fantastic looking film version of a classic game, check out this video on behind the scenes facts about Five Nights At Freddy’s!

Saw it last night on Halloween and I think it was well worth the wait. AND the fact Henson was behind the animatronics makes it even better. I wonder just how much if any CGI there was in it. Maybe some of the dream sequence edits but dunno.

[@pxolzz1320]

guys its confirmed they have a contract signed that they'll make three movies, time to wait for another wonderful work of art from fnaf

[@J4CK_ATTACK900]

Ain’t know way he just called foxy a her

[@lzscxre346]

the story is weird . mike gets accused of not locking the front door to the pizzeria when they broke in, but they didn’t even enter from the entrance they used another way to get in with a crowbar. and they never bring this up in the movie that mike could’ve been like “how did they get in?? the lock is untouched?” nothing about it. then the aunt being dead in the living room, it’s obvious that they’ll blame mike for her death? because she wanted custody of his sister. but no we see nothing about it.

[@limitedperiod]

Bro really call foxy her💀

[@Paws_notclaws]

bro the red eyes show there mad and they look cool also they have more detail
