Halloween Horror Nights Welcomes ‘Five Nights At Freddy's' And WWE
Halloween Horror Nights unleashes all-new haunted house 'Five Nights at Freddy's.' Iconic titans of terror, Five Nights at Freddy's and WWE's The Wyatt Sicks, are heading to Halloween Horror Nights at Universal Studios. The immersive houses for both massive IPs will feature at both Universal Studios Hollywood and Universal Orlando Resort. Fans of Five Nights at Freddy's, or FNAF as it is also known, will venture through an all-new haunted house inspired by the 2023 hit film, following in the footsteps of Mike, played by Josh Hutcherson in the movie, after he take as the night security guard in the abandoned themed entertainment center, Freddy Fazbear's Pizzeria. That's where terrifying chaos ensues. As brave ticket holders find their way through the corridors, they quickly learn that nothing is what it seems. As they move through the building, they will "encounter the supernatural and become lured into the black heart of an unspeakable nightmare," coming face-to-face with full-scale replicas of the eerie characters from the film - Freddy Fazbear, Chica, Bonnie, Foxy, and Mr. Cupcake. They will stalk guests as they pass through recreations of classic scenes and locations such as the security room and the showroom where the characters performed. Much like Xanathar in the Dungeons and Dragons: Secrets of Waterdeep experience during Universal Studios Hollywood's inaugural Fan Fest Nights, FNAF's larger-than-life characters have been created in collaboration with Jim Henson's Creature Shop. They also masterfully produced the animatronics and costumes for the fan-favorite film, so it doesn't get more authentic than that. Blumhouse's Five Nights at Freddy's movie, based on another widely popular videogame IP that inspired a hit movie, grossed $291.49 million at the worldwide box office in 2023. The sequel will land in theaters on Friday, December 5, 2025. WWE Enters The Halloween Horror Nights Ring When fans have taken a break after scaring themselves silly in Five Nights at Freddy's, they can head to WWE Presents: The Horrors of The Wyatt Sicks. That's where they will "go head-to-head with Uncle Howdy in an experience that not only features The Wyatt Sicks but honors the legacy of Bray Wyatt." Fans will already be aware of this, but for those who aren't, with its portrayal of dark and twisted characters, the five-strong crew has quickly emerged as one of the most disturbing and disruptive groups in WWE history. Those nightmarish figures are going to manifest at Halloween Horror Nights this spooky season. According to a release, "horror fans brave enough to travel through the light of the lantern will find themselves transported into the maniacal minds of The Wyatt Sicks, where each member reigns supreme within their horrific domains." "There, Uncle Howdy, together with Ramblin' Rabbit, Mercy the Buzzard, Abby the Witch, and Huskus the Pig, will be waiting to take bloody retribution on a world that has abandoned them. Along the way, guests will be stalked by the eerie presence of The Fiend, Bray's sadistic alter ego, who looms within the shadows and beckons them to let him in." Five Nights at Freddy's and WWE Presents: The Horrors of The Wyatt Sicks are the final two haunted houses to be announced for this year's bicoastal event. Both join an incredibly strong offering that fans are already predicting will be a vintage year for the seasonal scarefest that traditionally draws visitors from around the world. Nightmares Come Alive At Halloween Horror Nights Among the previously announced nightmarish experiences is a blood-soaked haunted house inspired by the gory Terrifier film franchise. It'll feature supernatural entity Art the Clown terrorizing the fictional town of Miles County, New York, and torturing his victims in creative but cruel and "sickeningly sinister ways." Promising "an unfathomable level of gore," guests can expect "a grisly haunted house oozing with a new sense of terror." Elsewhere, legendary slasher icon Jason Voorhees is the star of Jason Universe, which sees the seemingly indestructible killer from the Friday the 13th franchise get his own haunted house at both Universal Orlando Resort and Universal Studios Hollywood. The all-original experience will take guests back on "a vengeance tour through the summer camp to see where it all began, from the creaking floorboards of Jason's ramshackle cabin to the decaying main lodge and the eerie forest that offers no refuge for his victims." Also featuring at this year's Halloween Horror Nights is a house inspired by Fallout, Prime Video's acclaimed smash hit show. Ahead of the series' second season premiere, the immersive Fallout attraction will transport fans into iconic scenes and put them face-to-face with their characters on a journey from Vault 33 to the Wasteland. Terror returns in 'Scarecrow: Music by Slash' and 'Monstruos 3: The Ghosts of Latin America' at ... More Universal Studios Hollywood. Fan Favorites Get A Terrifying Refresh At Halloween Horror Nights In Hollywood In terms of original mazes not based on IPs, two fan-favorite mazes evolve this year. At Universal Studios Hollywood, 2022's Scarecrow: The Reaping gets a revamp and a new name, returning as Scarecrow: Music by Slash. Set to a soundtrack created by the rock icon, his seventh consecutive year providing a score for a Universal Studios Hollywood Halloween Horror Nights haunted house, Mother Nature "seeks vengeance on the homesteaders for their sins of the past that will be carried out by farmland scarecrows, mute witnesses who have become the guardians of destruction for anyone who crosses their path." Meanwhile, La Llorona headlines the final entry in a trilogy of terror, Monstruos 3: The Ghosts of Latin America, a haunted house with a narrative based on Latin American folklore. In addition to the legendary Weeping Woman, the Colombian female boogeyman, the sharp-toothed La Muelona, and the horse-headed La Siguanaba will also feature to scare the bejesus out of visitors. We're now in gushing distance of Halloween Horror Nights. It kicks off at Universal Studios Hollywood on Thursday, September 4, 2025. However, Universal Orlando Resort gets the ball rolling a little earlier on Friday, August 29, 2025. Tickets are now on sale.

Five Nights at Freddy's 2 will have ‘a lot more' terrifying animatronics, Josh Hutcherson teases
Five Nights at Freddy's 2 will have 'a lot more animatronics' and 'bigger set pieces', Josh Hutcherson has teased. The 32-year-old actor is set to reprise his role as Mike Schmidt in the upcoming horror sequel - which is based on developer Scott Cawthon's indie horror video game franchise of the same name - and Hutcherson has now said that Five Nights at Freddy's 2 will be scarier than the original 2023 movie. Director Emma Tammi added there would be 'more than three times as many animatronics' in Five Nights at Freddy's 2 when compared to the first flick, and said the upcoming movie would be more action-centred than the original. Speaking on a panel for the film at San Diego Comic-Con, she said: 'There's so much more action in this one ... with the animatronics and that was incredibly exciting. 'I personally have become so invested in [these characters] and it was just an incredible opportunity to continue to get to tell their stories and expand on them.' As well as Hutcherson's Mike Schmidt, Five Nights at Freddy's 2 will see the return of his sister Abby (Piper Rubio), police officer Vanessa Shelley (Elizabeth Lail) and the sinister William Afton (Matthew Lillard). The movie will also introduce Scream star Skeet Ulrich, Mckenna Grace and Wayne Knight. Five Nights at Freddy's 2 will pick up after the events of the first movie, which saw Mike Schmidt (Hutcherson) take on a new night guard job at the reopened Freddy Fazbear's Pizza, only to discover that the animatronics have a life of their own at night. As the nights grow more terrifying, he must uncover the restaurant's dark history to survive. Reflecting on the sequel, Hutcherson detailed the developed relationship Mike shares with his sister Abby, and teased that their bond was 'super strong' in the film. The Hunger Games star said: 'Mike and Abby went through a lot in the first movie, and I think Mike is just wanting to get back to somewhat of a normal life, and he's trying to provide stability for Abby. 'He's trying to find his way in the world. He just wants to have a calm, nice, normal life, but that just can't happen in FNAF. 'He's got all this trauma and stuff that he's lived through in the first film in that story, and he's just trying to fake it till you make it without fully working through all that stuff that happened, and then it happens to him again. Poor Mike!' Looking to the future, Lillard teased a third Five Nights at Freddy's movie could happen if the second movie - which hits screens on December 5, 2025 - is a success. He said: 'If it's a hit, they're gonna make a third movie, and if they make a third movie, I get to kill Mike Schmidt … it's going to be cinematic magic!' Blumhouse Productions boss Jason Blum added: 'If enough people go … we'd be very excited to make a Five Nights at Freddy's 3.'

Springtrap Slashes His Way To Dead By Daylight x Five Nights At Freddy's Collaboration
Haunting his next prey, Behaviour Interactive brings Springtrap to Dead by Daylight's latest chapter, Five Nights at Freddy's, with Matthew Lillard reprising his role. Following the 2024 teaser and long-standing fan anticipation, Dead by Daylight launches the Five Nights at Freddy's chapter with the arrival of Springtrap and the Freddy Fazbear's Pizza map. Wielding his signature knife, the new Killer is let loose in The Entity's Realm, with the chapter incorporating core mechanics and Easter eggs from the beloved franchise. In addition to Springtrap joining the long list of Killers in the survival-horror title, Matthew Lillard returns in an alternate costume. For those looking to try out Dead by Daylight and experience the exciting new chapter, the survival-horror game thrusts four Survivors into eerie locations, relying on communication and teamwork to power Generators and escape the bloodthirsty murderer. But as the Killer—whether a slasher icon or a paranormal entity—your goal is to hunt down your prey and sacrifice them to The Entity before they can escape. Incorporating Five Nights at Freddy's mechanics into Dead by Daylight, seven Security Doors with cameras will spawn across the map, allowing Survivors to view different corners of the environment. Both Springtrap and Survivors can use the doors to teleport. However, Survivors will need to manage the cameras and doors carefully—if the limited battery power is depleted, the system will need to reboot, leaving them vulnerable. Worse still, Springtrap can grab them if they're using the same door. Diving into the mechanics, Springtrap Killer designer Jay Guzzo shared: 'When Springtrap is the Killer in a Trial, Survivors will find they have more available to them than they normally do. The doors and cameras give Survivors an unprecedented level of awareness and manoeuvrability in a match. We balanced it out by making Springtrap a little more powerful than your average Killer so he can really deliver those jump-scares. Hitting the right balance there has been a fun challenge.' Alongside the arrival of Springtrap, players can dive into a chaotic experience on the new Freddy Fazbear's Pizza map, which features Easter eggs from the original Five Nights at Freddy's. Bringing the birthday party venue to Dead by Daylight, associate art director Chase Toole shared: 'We took references from the first game and attempted to reconstruct what a pizzeria would realistically be built like. That's why we have things like air ducts, mechanical rooms, and of course, the kitchen you see in-game. They reference FNAF, but they also work toward the immersion and believability of the space itself.' As Springtrap in Dead by Daylight, the deadly animatronic will be equipped with three character-specific perks to assist with his hunt, such as: Help Wanted – Damage a Generator to make it Compromised, shortening Springtrap's Basic Attack cooldown duration when the Compromised Generator is fixed. Phantom Fear – When a Survivor looks toward Springtrap within the Terror Radius, they will scream and briefly reveal their Aura. Haywire – As the Exit Gates regress, Survivors will see the lights flicker randomly. As part of the Five Nights at Freddy's Collection, Springtrap will have a variety of alternate costumes from across the franchise, including the base costume from his debut in Five Nights at Freddy's 3, Clown Springtrap and Toxic Springtrap from Five Nights at Freddy's AR: Special Delivery, and Glitchtrap from Five Nights at Freddy's: Help Wanted. In addition to the outfits, Matthew Lillard reprises his role for the Legendary Yellow Rabbit Outfit, inspired by the Five Nights at Freddy's (2023) film. Lastly, Dwight will receive a Freddy Fazbear's Pizza t-shirt. Quite an exciting collaboration for fans of the horror franchise. Dead by Daylight: Five Nights at Freddy's will be available on Xbox One / Series X|S, PlayStation 4 and 5, Nintendo Switch, and PC via Steam and Epic Games Store.

PlayStation fans unlock surprise batch of 9 free games including major title worth £70 – full list is valued at £295
SONY has dished out a load of free games that you can enjoy on PlayStation this week. There are nine new titles coming to your consoles as part of a major software upgrade. 5 5 They're all part of Sony 's PlayStation Plus membership scheme, which is the subscription that gets you online gameplay. But it also grants you access to a massive rolling library of free video games to enjoy. Games regularly vanish from this list – in fact, six are due to disappear in weeks. But Sony confirmed that an extra nine titles were added on June 17. That includes Battlefield 2042, which currently retails for £69.99 on the official PlayStation Store. "This month, join forces to tackle the paranormal crises of a mysterious federal agency under siege in the cooperative first-person shooter FBC: Firebreak," said PlayStation's Adam Michel. "Lead your team to victory in the iconic all-out warfare of Battlefield 2042, test your skills as a new Fazbear employee managing and maintaining the eerie pizzeria of Five Nights at Freddy's: Help Wanted 2. "Or live for the thrill of the hunt in the realistic hunting open world theHunter: Call of the Wild." All of the games are available to play right now, as long as you have an active PlayStation Plus subscription. Here's the list of new titles out now on PlayStation Plus Extra and Premium, along with their official store pricing: FBC: Firebreak (PS5) – £32.99 Battlefield 2042 (PS4, PS5) – £69.99 Five Nights at Freddy's: Help Wanted 2 (PS5) – £32.99 theHunter: Call of the Wild (PS4) – £24.99 We Love Katamari Reroll + Royal Reverie (PS4, PS5) – £24.99 Eiyuden Chronicles: Hundred Heroes (PS4, PS5) – £44.99 Train Sim World 5 (PS4, PS5) – £39.99 Endless Dungeon Definitive Edition (PS4, PS5) – £12.99 Get an inside look at the new PS5 30th anniversary edition And here are the titles that have landed on PS Plus Premium only: Deus Ex: The Conspiracy (PS4, PS5) – £11.99 That means the total value of this latest lot of games comes to a whopping £295.91. Of course, you don't have to buy the games to enjoy them via PS Plus. 5 But if they ever leave the library, you'd have to buy them outright to keep playing. These aren't free games that you "claim" and then keep forever. They're tied to the PS Plus library, so you can only play them for as long as you have a membership – and while they remain in the catalogue. Once they exit the library, you'll lose access to the games unless you pay for them. 5 Gamers responding to Sony's official post were largely disappointed by the selection. One wrote: "Yep, not very impressive this month." Another said: "Really disappointed. Last few months haven't been good. I might not renew the subscription." But one gamer added: "I'm excited to play Endless Dungeon, Deus Ex, and Katamari." 5 All prices in this article were correct at the time of writing, but may have since changed. Always do your own research before making any purchase.
