Inside Five Nights at Freddy’s 2: director Emma Tammi on puppet scares and Scream reunion

Five Nights at Freddy’s 2 director Emma Tammi joins Popcorn Podcast to reveal how the sequel expands the emotional journey of Mike (Josh Hutcherson), Abby (Piper Rubio) and Vanessa (Elizabeth Lail), opening up new corners of the FNaF mythology while pushing practical effects to their absolute limit. With Jim Henson’s Creature Shop back in full force, this film features animatronic designs that, in Tammi’s words, “Don’t obey the laws of physics!”

We also dive into a treat for horror fans: the low-key reunion of Scream icons Matthew Lillard and Skeet Ulrich. Their presence brings unexpected resonance to the story, creating a crossover moment that had the cast and crew buzzing.
