Remember those creepy animatronic animals from your childhood nightmares?

Five Nights at Freddy’s: A Box Office Smash
The first “Five Nights at Freddy’s” movie, based on the wildly popular video game series, scared up a storm in 2023. It raked in a whopping $297 million worldwide, making it the highest-grossing film ever for Blumhouse Productions, the studio known for creepy hits like “Get Out” and “Insidious.” Even more impressive? The movie terrified audiences in theaters while simultaneously giving viewers chills at home on Peacock streaming service.
The original film followed a security guard named Mike (played by Josh Hutcherson) who takes a night shift at the creepy Freddy Fazbear’s Pizza. What could go wrong, right? Well, as any gamer who’s ever faced these animatronic horrors knows, things get VERY wrong after dark. The cuddly characters we see during the day turn into murderous machines by night, and Mike has to survive until sunrise (or become another victim!).
Five Nights at Freddy’s 2: The Plot Thickens (and Maybe Gets Bloodier?)
While details about the sequel’s plot are still under wraps, the new tagline is enough to send shivers down your spine: “Anyone can survive five nights. This time, there will be no second chances.” Yikes! Does this mean the animatronics are getting even more aggressive? Will there be even more jump scares to make you scream? One thing’s for sure: we’re not gonna miss this follow-up!
Blumhouse Beyond Freddy: A Spooktacular 2025
While “Five Nights at Freddy’s 2” is sure to be a highlight, Blumhouse has a whole buffet of horror coming our way in 2025. Fans of the killer AI doll M3GAN can rejoice because “M3GAN 2.0” is hitting theaters on June 27th. We don’t know the details yet, but hopefully, M3GAN’s pint-sized partner in crime will be back to cause more chaos.
If you liked the masked maniac from “The Black Phone,” get ready for his return in “The Black Phone 2” on October 17th. This sequel promises to bring back the scares, with Ethan Hawke reprising his role as the terrifying kidnapper.
But Blumhouse isn’t just about sequels! They also have some brand new scares in store. “The Woman in the Yard” stars Danielle Deadwyler and is shrouded in mystery, while “Drop,” a collaboration between Blumhouse and Michael Bay (of “Transformers” fame!), promises to be a fast-paced, blood-curdling thriller.
So, mark your calendars, horror fans! Between “Five Nights at Freddy’s 2” and the chilling line-up from Blumhouse, 2025 is shaping up to be a scream of a year for horror movies!
