Five Nights at Freddy’s Rise to Popularity
Universal Pictures and Blumhouse have been hard at work bringing to life their film adaption of the hit video game series Five Nights at Freddy’s, which was first introduced to the horror genre in 2014. The video game is based on a survival horror-type genre where the players act as night security guards for a fictional pizza restaurant and must complete their shift from midnight through 6 a.m. The game’s objective is not to get jumpscares from the four animatronic characters that inhabit the facility you guard.
The first video game received high praise from gamers worldwide and even grew a cult following. It became the top-selling game on Desura for the first week of its initial release date. YouTube ended up being the platform where streamers invited their audience to watch in horror with them as they attempted to play the game and accomplish its goals.
Due to the high popularity of the game, the studio released the second video game just months after the first one, in November 2014. The studio also launched the official video game series and media franchise, starting with the release of the second video game in the franchise. Books, media, fangames, and so much more came out of this video game and was obtained by Blumhouse Productions to acquire the rights to create a film, which began filming this year and will star Josh Hutcherson as Mike Schmidt and Matthew Lillard as William Afton.
