*All four (4) character covers are of the same rarity and distributed randomly.
The premise of Five Nights at Freddy's is inspired and tinged with the familiar nostalgia of our collective childhood - pizza parties at the family amusement center of Anytown, USA, presided over by archaic animatronic creatures who think they are a band of rock.
We always knew there was a dark side there, among the dusty games consoles and rickety tables - something lurking, something... unhinged. It's a storyline that propelled Freddy Fazbear and his friends into the retrosphere of stardom - a franchise of countless games, books and merchandise steeped in deep history, with the feature film from director Emma Tammi (and our friends at Blumhouse and Universal) as the culmination of it all.
However, an effective horror experience is nothing without the sound to accompany it, and the Newton brothers certainly lived up to this score. From the opening song, they hypnotize us with the haunting voices of a children's choir, cut by the melodies of a horror nursery rhyme. It's a spine-chilling hors d'oeuvre, leading into a pulsing, synthesized main course that's both a throwback to the '90s and freshly sinister. How could you expect anything less from the boys behind the manic music of Midnight Mass, The Haunting of Hill House and Doctor Sleep?
As with all iam8bit releases, unboxing is also part of the fun, with four collectible character sleeves featuring everyone's favorite gang - Freddy, Chica, Foxy and Bonnie - adorned with glow-in-the-dark eyes, ensuring that even while listening in total darkness you will have company. Printed on delicious Pizza Party Red vinyl, it's a real treat for fans.
It's a killer soundtrack, but be careful. You never know what other surprises may be hiding inside...
