Known for his play-throughs of horror titles, Kenshin appears at the very end of the trailer as a fed-up cab driver lamenting the fact that he's always picking up 'weirdos.' It's a pretty acceptable reaction, especially when we see the unlikely pair that just slid into the backseat: a little girl and a homicidal animatronic with an empty eye socket.

It remains to be seen if Five Nights at Freddy's performs as Universal wants it to, but if there's one thing you must know about Afton, is that he always comes back.Horror game fanatics received a double treat Tuesday with the official trailer for Universal and Blumhouse's long-awaited adaptation of the Five Nights at Freddy's video game series (the movie opens in theaters and on Peacock this October). When Lillard was confirmed to be playing William Afton, the actor mentioned that he was supposed to come back for two sequels if the first installment proved to be a success. A New Potential Franchise for Blumhouse?Īfter Halloween Endsbrought the story of Michael Myers to a conclusion last year, the studio could use a different franchise to make sure fans will consistently come back to theatres for seasonal spooks. After almost a decade in development, it's time for the highly anticipated video game adaptation to hit theaters. Production for the adaptation wrapped a couple of months ago, meaning that the team behind it will have more than enough time to focus on editing and the visual effects required to bring Freddy, Bonnie, Chica, and Foxy to life.

If an October release date sounds too soon for a project that began filming a few months ago, you have to take into consideration the fact that the scale and budget for Five Nights at Freddy's are considerably smaller than those required for other productions.
