Five Nights At Freddy's
A troubled security guard begins working at Freddy Fazbear's Pizza. During his
first night on the job, he realizes that the night shift won't be so easy to get
through. Pretty soon he will unveil what actually happened at Freddy's. Mike
Schmidt, a night guard at a local diner, becomes troubled after confronting the
truth about the animatronic costumes that reside: they aren't just robots. They
are alive. Will he be able to survive all five nights at this haunted diner? Or
is something more sinister at play? Unlike most studios using CGI for bringing
creatures to life, Jim Henson's creature shop will be responsible for the
creation of the Fazbear animatronics.
