Five Nights At Freddy’s Director Talks Frightening Fun And The Possibility Of Sister Location [Exclusive Interview]

The fandom of Five Nights at Freddy’s is very big on their lore and theories, but this is kind of its own thing. What do you hope the diehards take from the movie?

Yeah, I mean the franchise is so sprawling at this point. You’ve got the games, you’ve got the books … I think an expanded universe is, we are partaking in that. There’s already a precedent for that. But I do also think that what we have taken from the lore and the franchise is also pretty fundamental. And I hope that people feel like the fabric and the feeling of Freddy’s is completely woven into the movie and delivers on the thing that they wanted, but also is surprising and new and different as well. We were really lucky to be working with Scott on this, so his instincts for what was going to resonate with the fans, I really trust. So yeah, I’m excited to see what they think.

I found myself getting those little giddy moments of like, “Oh, Balloon Boy!” But you have this opening for possible sequels, and we did see a little bit of Circus Baby. Is “Sister Location” something that you would want to pursue?

I am not closing the door to that at all. I would be so excited to pursue additional films in this world. So, fingers crossed.

I am hoping we eventually get the Glamrock versions. Chica is obviously my girl, but Glamrock Chica, especially.

You got some Glamrock hair happening right now. You’re bringing it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That would be super fun. There’s so much to tap into.
