Starting November 17, the Freddy Fazbear Crunch Menu transforms piazza nightmares into craveable cuisine. The centerpiece features Popeyes signature chicken tenders topped with a bold savory garlic parmesan rub. Each box includes garlic-crusted Cheesy Bites and marinara sauce for dipping.
The $7.99 base option gives fans serious value and serious flavor. Upgrade to the $12.99 Deluxe Box for the strawberry Cupcake Cup dessert plus beverage. You can also buy individual items à la carte—Cheesy Bites and the Cupcake Cup both cost $3.99.
“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.”
Why This Matters: Fast Food Meets Franchises
Movie tie-in menus drive serious engagement and fast-food revenue.
This collaboration doubles down on entertainment marketing trends. Blumhouse, the powerhouse horror studio behind The Purge, Halloween, and Paranormal Activity, knows how to build hype. Cross-promoting with a beloved restaurant chain reaches millions of customers instantly.
The horror angle matters too. Five Nights at Freddy’s 2 targets younger audiences and gaming fans. Popeyes captures mindshare right before release. The exclusive collectible stickers featuring animatronics sweeten the deal.
For Popeyes, brand collaborations showcase innovation. They proved with Hot Ones earlier and now with Freddy Fazbear that bold partnerships resonate.
Menu Details: What You’re Getting
| Item | Price | What’s Included |
|---|---|---|
| Freddy Fazbear Box | $7.99 | 3 tenders + Cheesy Bites + marinara |
| Deluxe Box | $12.99 | All above + cupcake + beverage |
| Cheesy Bites | $3.99 | Garlic-crusted cheese curds + sauce |
| Cupcake Cup | $3.99 | Strawberry cake + pink frosting |
You can order classic or spicy tenders depending on heat preference.
The tenders showcase Popeyes’ signature technique: hand-breaded chicken fried to golden perfection. The garlic parmesan rub adds pizzeria-inspired flair fitting for Freddy Fazbear’s universe.
What To Watch For
- Limited availability: Popeyes warns “no second chances once the menu is gone”
- Collectible sticker packs drop at select locations only
- December 5 when the movie hits theaters nationwide
- Potential for limited-time menu extensions if sales surge
- Location availability varies across the 4,000+ U.S. Popeyes restaurants
Can This Horror Menu Compete With Movie Blockbuster Hype?
Fast-food movie collaborations have exploded in recent years.
Universal Pictures and Blumhouse strategically timed this launch three weeks before the theatrical December release. The Five Nights at Freddy’s 2 sequel carries genuine anticipation from gaming fans and horror devotees worldwide.
This menu capitalizes on nostalgia, gaming culture, and comfort food cravings simultaneously. Younger consumers especially appreciate when brands speak their entertainment language directly.
Watch for social media reactions. If TikTok and Instagram users embrace the spooky aesthetic, Popeyes could see massive foot traffic. The question isn’t whether horror and chicken work—it’s how quickly supplies sell out.
