Five Nights at Freddy’s creator Scott Cawton’s Reddit message

At one point in the message, he shared how a theater attendee dressed as Toy Chica thought she spotted him. However, her boyfriend told her that Cawthon was too old to be himself. Also, on a different occasion, he saw a packed crowd that cheered and clapped.

He added: “On Thursday I went to the very first showing at 2pm. Not many people were there. But just before the movie started a teenage boyfriend and girlfriend walked in; the girlfriend was dressed as Toy Chica, and they sat right next to me. She was obviously a super-fan (him not so much), and I heard her say as she walked in, ‘What if Scott Cawthon was in here?’ A few seconds later after they sat down, I heard her whisper, ‘That kind of looks like Scott Cawthon’, gesturing to me. He glanced over at me then whispered back to her, ‘Dear, he’s old.’ To that I say – Two things can be true at the same time.”

Apparently, it was Saturday evening’s show, which was one of his favorite moments. “I was standing in line behind a young woman in a Freddy hat waiting for popcorn and drinks, and she turned and looked at me and just said, ‘I like the shirt!’ That made my night,” he wrote.

“It was beyond my wildest dreams,” his post read. “I do read the comments and critiques, so while I’m glad most people had a great time at the movies, I’m definitely paying attention, and I wanted you all to know that.”

It’s obvious Scott Cawthon is living in the moment with the success of Five Nights At Freddy’s and is very grateful for all of it. The creator of Five Nights at Freddy’s, Scott Cawthon, had a very sweet response to fans regarding the film’s success.

Five Nights at Freddy’s is based on the 2014 video game that sees players take control of Mike Schmidt, the new security guard at Freddy Fazbear’s Pizza, who must survive the night shift while murderous animatronic characters roam the restaurant.

“If you will remember, I planned to go incognito with my glasses (and a beard), and sit in on several showings,” Cawthon shared. “No-one recognized me, as expected, but I did have some funny encounters.”
