Fans of the popular "Five Nights at Freddy's" series have been waiting a long time for the film adaptation, eight years to be exact. With animatronics built by the legendary Jim Henson Creature Shop and a cast that boasts names like Josh Hutcherson and Matthew Lillard, there's plenty to get excited about. But when the teaser trailer and poster for "Five Nights at Freddy's" were first released, hardcore fans were immediately on the defense. Why were the animatronics' eyes red as opposed to the piercing white glow of the video games?
The frustration is understandable. Glowing red eyes are extremely common, with Terminators and even the robots in "Wall-e" glowing red to indicate danger or a malicious override.

“Hey, Doc Hollywood, save your money, Pennsylvania is not for sale,” Fetterman said in the spot, as video ran of Oz, the longtime syndicated daytime TV host, kissing his star on the Walk of Fame.
It’s certainly not a novel for a campaign to try to tar a rival for Hollywood ties, but this time it’s a Democrat, Fetterman, trying to tar a Republican, Oz, for his showbiz embrace. It’s a bit of a twist on a common campaign tactic used by the right against their leftward opponents, who have for generations enjoyed dominance in Hollywood fundraising and endorsements.
In countering Oz’s name recognition, Fetterman has even tried to weaponize celebrity,...
