Fans are getting incredibly excited about this year’s Halloween Horror Nights (HHN) at Universal theme parks. One of the big draws will be a new house based on the Five Nights at Freddy’s film (and game).
I know my daughter and son are thrilled. I would argue FNAF, like Minecraft, is one of the gaming franchises that resonate with Gen Z and Millennials. Most everyone has heard of it.
While we do not know much about it yet, we do know that the Jim Henson Creature Shop will be doing the costumes for the house. They did the ones for the movie as well so hopefully this takes it to the next level for fans.
IGN interviewed with John Murdy (Creative Director/ Executive Producer, Universal Studios Hollywood) and Matthew Flood (Senior Show Director, Universal Orlando).
During the interview, they mostly talked about the upcoming Fallout house (that my son is also super excited about), but at the end of the interview, Five Nights at Freddy’s was mentioned.
Murdy said fans have been requesting FNAF for years. Which makes sense. It’s the perfect IP for something like HHN.
He also announced the partnership with Jim Henson’s Creature Shop saying,
“Just one little tease for you, both of our teams [FL/CA] are working directly with Henson’s Creature Shop that did all of the characters for the film. So when you experience it, it is literally like living the movie.”
This year’s HHN event is going to be amazing!
