Five Nights at Freddy's first look teases a slice of terror

Halloween reboot producer Jason Blum is switching from pumpkins to pizza for spooky season.

Universal has announced that the studio is releasing Blumhouse's Five Nights at Freddy's in cinemas on Oct. 27 with a simultaneous premiere on Peacock. The movie is adapted from the horror video game franchise about grinning, jump-scare-loving animatronic creatures. The film follows a troubled security guard as he begins working at the Chuck E. Cheese-esque food emporium Freddy Fazbear's Pizza. While spending his first night on the job, he realizes the night shift at Freddy's won't be an easy one to survive.
