LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Horror fans gather! We have some great news for you. After being delayed for more than eight years, 'Five Nights at Freddy’s' is finally coming to the silver screens. Universal was the one to pull the curtains back for the Blumhouse horror movie and released a teaser trailer. The teaser brought out some great reactions from the fans and got them quite thrilled about their favorite video game being turned into a live-action movie.

The movie is based on the video game franchise created by Scott Cawthon, which released its first entry in 2014 and quickly rocketed to massive popularity. Throughout the different levels of the game, players are set on a survival mission to save themselves from the horrors of murderous animatronic characters inside the horror-induced Freddy Fazbear’s Pizza restaurant. The only way to save themselves is for the players to use the security cameras, lights, and doors to survey the area.
