Five Nights at Freddy’s star Josh Hutcherson shares about working with life-sized animatronics

Mumbai, October 25, 2023: Universal Pictures (distributed by Warner Bros. Discovery) has been building hype since the announcement of their upcoming horror flick, Five Nights at Freddy’s. Helmed by creative highbrow Emma Tammi, the petrifying horror movie is set to give the viewers a spine-tingling scare. Produced by Blumhouse Productions and Scott Cawthon, the movie features Josh Hutcherson, Mary Stuart Masterson and Matthew Lillard in pivotal roles alongside Elizabeth Lail, Kat Conner Sterling, and Piper Rubio.

Renowned actor Josh Hutcherson, who will be essaying the lead role, shared his experience working with the crew. As for performing with the animatronic creations from the legendary Jim Henson's Creature Shop, Hutcherson says the experience was nothing less than jaw-dropping and added "Watching them come to life was incredible, they have this texture and quality that only Henson can do. As an actor, you actually get something physical and real to interact with. My character is supposed to be haunted by these things, and now I have a creature in front of me that, in the right light, is terrifying.”

The calendar has turned to October which means the spookiest season of the year has officially begun. This Halloween, Universal Pictures (distributed by Warner Bros. Discovery) plans to bring a spooky experience for the fans wrapped with some laces of fear. Five Nights at Freddy's, which will release theatrically on October 27th, is a great way to start the spooky season early.
