I'm surprised that Five Nights at Freddy’s was referred to as just a horror movie - the 2014 game it's based on was a smash hit that spurred many copycats and transformed the survival-horror genre.

Anyway as an outsider I've never seen these things portrayed in movies, cartoons etc. as anything else but creepy. Personally I regarded them as a show of American economic might - I mean:

1. Robots.

2. For entertainment in a family-oriented restaurant.

3. In the 80s.
