In a rather interesting announcement on a Sunday evening, both Universal Orlando Resort and Universal Studios Hollywood announced that the ‘Five Nights at Freddy’s’ franchise is coming to Halloween Horror Nights.
Here is where things get interesting with this announcement. This, first off, was an announcement on a Sunday night, not the usual timeframe for a house or a scarezone announcement. Second, the wording of the announcement has some rather interesting verbiage. Here is the announcement that was posted to the official HHN Hollywood and Orlando social media accounts:
Five Nights at Freddy’s is coming in a whole new way to this year’s Universal Studios’ Halloween Horror Nights in both Hollywood and Orlando. More details coming soon.
The words “whole new way” are what’s throwing off a lot of people. If it’s not a house or a scarezone, what could it be? A dining experienece? Some sort of VR experience? Maybe an escape room of some sort? We will have to wait and see for more details.
