First Teaser Image For Five Nights At Freddy’s

FNaF3_2-620x400Earlier this month, indie developer Scott Cawthon confirmed the potentially imminent return of Freddy Fazbear and Friends with the very first teaser image (left) for Five Nights at Freddy’s 3, and now we have another.

FX Networks CEO John Landgraf tells TVLine Sunday at the Television Critics Association winter press tour changes are coming, alerting us to internal debate over the direction of the Ryan Murphy-created anthology series. He also knows what the arc is for the fifth season, (presumably) returning this October. Continue reading
