The Five Nights at Freddy’s franchise has been lording over video games and haunting kids’ nightmares for over a decade now, so long that the length of time it took the first movie to get made almost made fans worry it was too late. As we know, even dismal critical reception to the films couldn’t stop the fandom, though, with both Five Nights at Freddy’s movies grossing over $200 million at the global box office each, an incredible feat for modern horror movies, but especially one that walks the line between being kid-friendly and being super scary.
The success of the second movie in the series, plus the way it clearly set up the next chapter of the story, means that a third Five Nights at Freddy’s film is inevitable. Now, the next movie in the series has officially gotten its first update with Dread Central bringing word (corroborated by The Hollywood Reporter) that Five Nights at Freddy’s 3 is moving forward and will be written by IT, Annabelle, The Nun and ‘Salem’s Lot screenwriter Gary Dauberman. For anyone paying attention to the series, this marks a major shift for the FNAF movies, and it’s one that addresses some of the biggest criticisms of the series thus far.
