Exclusive: Matthew Lillard confirms the origin of his Five Nights at Freddy's Scream homage and his surprise at how quickly audiences caught it.

The Five Nights at Freddy's movie contains a homage to the movie Scream where the killer wipes his knife with his hand.
Matthew Lillard, who plays antagonist William Afton, revealed that the idea for the homage came from co-writer/director Emma Tammi.
The success of future Five Nights at Freddy's sequels will be compared to the success of the Scream franchise, which has grossed $913 million globally with modest budgets.
