A pop-up Freddy Fazbear’s Pizza location has appeared on Sunset Blvd in Hollywood, California ahead of Five Nights at Freddy’s October release.

The catch? You can’t actually go inside. It’s meant to be a rundown, mysteriously closed spot that you can take photos in front of. The signs out front say, “Where fantasy and fun come to life” and “Get ready for Freddy.” So, you could buy a slice from a nearby restaurant and stand outside of it (which is something I would absolutely do, to be honest).

Freddy Fazbear’s Pizza is a Chuck E. Cheese-style restaurant that promises big fun for children by way of singing animatronic mascots. After the restaurant’s mysterious closure, a possessed Freddy, Bonnie, and Chica end up terrorizing whoever pokes around at night. It’s the central location for the popular video game franchise and the upcoming live-action film.
