Blumhouse is doing another Five Nights at Freddy’s movie, and enlisted a new writer to craft its script.
That would be Gary Dauberman, not David Robert Mitchell like you might’ve recently heard. Dauberman’s screenwriting career is all about the scares, from the recent It movies to Conjuring spinoffs The Nun and Annabelle: Creation and the 2024 adaptation of Salem’s Lot. (He’s got one sole non-horror credit, and that’s the story for October’s Street Fighter movie.) This’ll be the first Freddy’s movie without franchise creator Scott Hawthon on writing duties, who co-wrote the first film’s script with Seth Cuddeback and director Emma Tammi, and held sole writing credit for the second.
