‘Five Nights at Freddy’s Is About to Get Even Scarier
It wouldn’t be a stretch to call Five Nights at Freddy’s the Slender: The Eight Pages of 2014. Everyone’s talking about, and much of that discussion revolves around how unbelievably unnerving it can be. Taking advantage of this is Fazbear Entertainment, a mod that adds asymmetrical multiplayer to the creepy game, pitting four animatronic baddies against one ill-equipped security guard, all player-controlled.
The only thing that’s scarier than being trapped in a building with murderous animatronic creatures is when those murderous creatures are being controlled by other players.
It’s still very early in development — it’s only about 5-10% content complete according to the developer — but I don’t imagine we’ll be getting sick of the Five Nights games anytime soon, so they have time to get this finished.
For more on the Fazbear Entertainment mod, you can follow it on on Steam. If you’d like to watch me lose my mind playing Five Nights at Freddy’s 2, you can do just that with the video below.
All of us here at Bloody Disgusting are deeply sad to learn that The Blob director Chuck Russell has passed away at 74 years old.
Russell’s career began with his directorial debut, 1987’s A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors.
The multihyphenate film director, screenwriter, and producer is best known for helming 1994 comedy The Mask starring Jim Carrey, Arnold Schwarzenegger actioner Eraser, and adventure spinoff The Scorpion King. The latter served as the first leading role for Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson.
The filmmaker left an indelible mark on horror with his ANOES sequel, 1988’s The Blob, and 2000’s Bless the Child.
Russell’s final film credit is 2024’s Witchboard remake starring Madison Iseman (I Know What You Did Last Summer), Aaron Dominguez (Only Murders in the Building), and Jamie Campbell Bower (“Stranger Things”).
It marked Russell’s return to horror after a lengthy hiatus, and he shared sequel hopes to Bloody Disgusting in an interview ahead of the remake’s release: “I got to design the board with real mystical symbols and things that I know represent good and evil, and where that board takes us if the audiences respond to the film, and I hope they will; I know it’s out there for you guys, but the sequel is a world we’ll get to go a little further. That’s sure the intention.”
He also recently expressed interest in returning to the franchise that began his career.
TMZ notes that Russell passed away at his San Diego-area home.
We send our deepest condolences to Chuck Russell’s family, friends, and fans.
