Josh Hutcherson enters a world of pain (and pizza) in Five Nights at Freddy's teaser
You could have built a gang of animatronic maniacs (and a pizza joint to house them) in the time it has taken Five Nights at Freddy's to arrive on the big screen. But last month Universal and Blumhouse announced that the movie version of the horror video game will finally hit screens Oct. 27 and now, they have unveiled the first teaser for the movie adaptation.
Josh Hutcherson stars as a troubled security guard starting work 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.
Is that because of all the animatronic maniacs? Could be!
