―The management takes no responsibility for any paranormal phenomena that occur on the premises― FNAF Guide Staff: IshiiNiki appearing
Japan's first cheering screening event for the live-action horror movie sequel Five Nights at Freddy's 2 has been announced at Shibuya HUMAX Cinema on Friday, March 20, 2026. Conceived by IshiiNiki — an avid FNAF fan who authored the survival guide columns in the official movie pamphlets for both films — the event follows an earlier appearance on February 7 (Saturday) that sold out completely. Riding that wave of enthusiasm, IshiiNiki proposed this unprecedented cheering screening for Japanese fans.
The program covers the time before, during, and after the screening, giving attendees the opportunity to experience the world of FNAF to the fullest. Fans are encouraged to bring their favorite FNAF merchandise and share in the excitement together.
