Five Nights at Freddy's Released

Five Nights at Freddy's is now available on Steam, offering an offbeat simulation with a creepy vibe based around conflicts with animatronic bears in a haunted pizza parlor, which is not what we would call a crowded genre (thanks nin via Joystiq). Here's word on this unusual game:
Welcome to your new summer job at Freddy Fazbear's Pizza, where kids and parents alike come for entertainment and food as far as the eye can see! The main attraction is Freddy Fazbear, of course; and his two friends. They are animatronic robots, programmed to please the crowds! The robots' behavior has become somewhat unpredictable at night however, and it was much cheaper to hire you as a security guard than to find a repairman.

From your small office you must watch the security cameras carefully. You have a very limited amount of electricity that you're allowed to use per night (corporate budget cuts, you know). That means when you run out of power for the night- no more security doors and no more lights! If something isn't right- namely if Freddybear or his friends aren't in their proper places, you must find them on the monitors and protect yourself if needed!

Can you survive five nights at Freddy's?

This article gave me total 'Chuck E Cheese's' flashbacks. I unfortunately worked there when I was a younger, more naive man. Well sadly, once a month for a week I had to put on the stinky, old, dirty Chuck E Cheese rat uniform and entertain at a child's birthday party. Oh Dear God The Horror! There was always the 'sick' kid that somehow always managed to involve me in his/her projectile vomiting, even from the opposite side of the table. There was usually the 'kid that's too young to be there' and my rat outfit scared the living shit out of them and they would scream bloody murder. And then ofcourse...there were the nutshots, the ENDLESS nutshots that you had to sustain from kids always running, and jumping, and kicking through the place like they usually did. Hell, if my nuts didn't get racked during one of those things then I was having an off night. And the bad thing is that all you can do when it happens is fall over and somehow pretend it's part of the act while your really screaming, "OH MY GOD MY NUTS!" inside the head of the outfit.

Needless to say, I will NOT be buying this game.

Is there a known phobia of dolls and shit like this coming to life? Cause I totally have it, and can't play shit like this...

Always found puppets used in ventriloquism extremely creepy, I think it's the eyes (and they blink, dear god, they blink!).

<shudder!>


Yeah it's called being a big fucking pussy.

I kid! I kid! EVERYONE WAS THINKING IT!

I love puppets, and marionettes, but ventriloquist dummies are fucking creepy. I think it was because I somehow managed to watch Magic when I was a kid. Which is the creepiest doll movie ever.

Just check out the original trailer....if you dare!

And here's a list 30 Horror Movies With Creepy Dolls which alone should give you nightmares.

I have no problem watching this stuff around Halloween - actually look forward to it - but the rest of the year it freaks me the fuck out.

And of course there's always the scary evil clown doll scene from Poltergeist!

nin, you better never watch "Dead Silence" (directed by James Wan). You would most likely not sleep for a week.

And "Five Nights at Freddy's"?

Freddy comes for you.


I have no problem admitting I'm a chickenshit when it comes to certain things. I generally game to relax after a long day, so the idea of playing something that ratchets up the tension just ain't happening.

It's called automatonophobia. To my experience it seems pretty common. I always had the opposite... I always loved ventriloquists and puppets. It seems related to fear of clowns, which I don't suffer either, but I know a lot of people with that one too.

Ah, thank you! And yeah, I wouldn't say clowns scare me, but I do feel uneasy around them.

I want to say, when I was a kid, there was an episode of Fantasy Island my father was watching, where someone got turned into a puppet, and that scared the shit out of me. And shit like this doesn't help, either!

The Chucky movies never really bothered me (as I would have expected them to), however. I never went out of my way to watch them, but I've seen at least one or two on cable, years ago...
