Popeyes has announced a collaboration with the popular horror franchise “Five Nights at Freddy’s,” launching a new limited-time menu in conjunction with the upcoming film, “Five Nights at Freddy’s 2.” The Freddy Fazbear Crunch Menu will be available starting on November 17 at participating locations across the United States.
This partnership marks the first menu tie-in between Popeyes and the “Five Nights at Freddy’s” series, which has garnered a dedicated fanbase since its inception. The menu features two meal bundles designed to capture the essence of the franchise. The Freddy Fazbear Deluxe Box, priced at $12.99, includes three classic or spicy chicken tenders seasoned with a garlic parmesan rub, alongside Cheesy Bites served with marinara sauce, a Cupcake Cup, and a drink. For a more budget-friendly option, the Freddy Fazbear Box is available for $7.99 and includes the same chicken tenders with Cheesy Bites and marinara.
Customers also have the option to order items a la carte. Cheesy Bites with Marinara, described as garlic-crusted white cheddar cheese curds, can be purchased for $3.99. The Cupcake Cup, a strawberry-flavored cake adorned with pink icing, is also available at the same price.
Popeyes’ Vice President of Culinary, Amy Alarcón, expressed enthusiasm about the collaboration, stating, “At Popeyes, we love playing with bold flavors, and what better playground than the world of ‘Five Nights at Freddy’s’? Freddy Fazbear’s Pizzeria is an iconic part of the film, so we had a blast reimagining that fun, over-the-top energy through our menu. It’s our way of giving fans a delicious taste of the movie’s universe, where that iconic Popeyes flavor meets a little bit of nostalgic pizzeria mystery.”
In addition to the special menu, select Popeyes locations will offer limited-edition collectible sticker packs featuring characters from the film. The much-anticipated “Five Nights at Freddy’s 2” is set to premiere in theaters on December 5, generating excitement among fans who are eager to experience both the movie and its culinary counterpart.
This unique promotional strategy not only highlights Popeyes’ commitment to engaging with popular culture but also enhances the dining experience for fans of the franchise. By intertwining food with entertainment, Popeyes aims to attract both loyal customers and new patrons excited about the film.
