‘Five Nights at Freddy’s’ Movie Haunted By ‘Poltergeist’ Director

Published

on

With several sequels already released, the robotic horrors of the Five Night at Freddy’s video game is making its way to the big screen..

Poltergeist remake director Gil Kenan has made a deal with Warner Bros to direct Five Nights at Freddy’s, a live action adaptation of the popular video game series created by Scott Cawthon, says Deadline.

It is an online sensation that takes place in a Chuck-E-Cheese-like eatery, called “Freddy Fazbear’s Pizza,” where an animatronic animal that is part of the house band becomes a murderer at night. Players who’ve been locked inside try to survive the rampaging murder machine.

This is going to be the horror movie for the younger generation, and a huge deal. While us older horror fans may not be aware of “Five Nights at Freddy’s,” it’s massive among tweens. My niece is obsessed with the survival horror game and is going to be filling theaters with her friends just to see Chica, Bonnie, Foxy and fReddy in action.

As for us older fans, we remember Chuck-E-Cheese and Showbiz Pizza in their prime, and to have a horror-themed movie that touches on our nostalgia for those places, well, that’s pretty awesome.

Kenan will write the script with Tyler Burton Smith. Roy Lee (The Ring, The Grudge, Godzilla) is producing with Seth Grahame-Smith (Abraham Lincoln Vampire Slayer, Beetlejuice) and David Katzenberg and Adam Stone and Jay Ireland are exec producing with Jon Berg and Nik Mavinkurve overseeing for the studio.

SCREAMBOX Investigates UFOs and Extraterrestrials: Several Documentaries Streaming Right Now!

Published

on

As someone who is obsessed with UFOS (or more recently known as UAPs) and the concept of extraterrestrials, I love a good documentary. Sightings have been on the rise since the 1940s, with the atomic bomb seemingly acting as a catalyst for new visitors. But what are these UFOs/UAPs? Is there an explanation or are they simply beyond our explanation? Why are they here? Who are they? How much do our governments know? The questions are endless and so are the documentaries that attempt to uncover the secrets behind decades of sightings and alleged confrontations.

Whether you’re a seasoned viewer or new to the rabbit hole, there’s always a handful of interesting documentaries to get your neurons firing and leave you with sleepless nights. SCREAMBOX is investigating with the addition of several docs, all streaming now on the Bloody Disgusting-powered service. Here’s the breakdown:
