It’s been a long time coming, but Five Nights At Freddy’s finally heads to the movies this October. More here.

It’s a film that feels like it’s been in gestation for a very long time, but finally the movie take on videogame hit Five Nights At Freddy’s is set to arrive on the big screen.

Well, the big screen and the little screen. The movie has been confirmed for release on October 27th of this very year, and it’ll be heading to cinema and to the Peacock screening service in the US on that day. It’s a model that worked for Halloween Kills, and given the popularity of the game series, there’s a sporting chance it’ll work again.

Jason Blum is producing the film under his Blumhouse label, and Emma Tammi is directing (for a period of time, it looked like Chris Columbus was going to take the project on). In the cast you’ll find Josh Hutcherson, Elizabeth Lail, Mary Stuart Masterson and Matthew Lillard.

Expect a trailer in due course…
