There are only a few days left before the highly anticipated "Five Nights at Feddy's 4" DLCs are released. If that wasn't exciting enough, a new teaser posted on game creator Scott Cawthon's website hints at the Puppet being included in the upcoming Halloween update.

Visitors who check Cawthon's official website will be treated to a simple image of a Freddy plushie against a black background. But intrepid fans know that there's a more sinister image hiding behind the bear's cute grin.

Those curious to know what secrets the plushie is keeping should head on over to the site, mouse over the image of the bear, right click and choose "save as." The picture will be saved as a jpeg file named "dontwakethebaby." After the image is saved, it can then be opened on any picture editing software (like Paint and Photoshop) and brightened. This will reveal what's behind the plushie - a shadow shaped in the nightmare version of the Puppet. The shadow's elongated limbs and body are easily recognizable as that of the Puppet animatronic.

Previous teasers have revealed the shadowy forms of Bonnie and nightmare Balloon Boy from "Five Nights at Freddy's 2." Fans are again taking this new teaser as a hint that the deadly character, along with the previous two, will also be appearing in the "Five Nights at Freddy's 4 Halloween Edition."

As explained by Cawthon on the game's Steam community page, the Halloween edition has been designed specifically for the holiday and boasts of changes in the character's design. More importantly, this edition does not follow canon, which is why characters that do not match the game's timeline can appear.

However, the "Five Nights at Freddy's 4" DLC will follow the game's traditional lore and will include new cheat and challenge menus.

The Halloween update and the "Five Nights at Freddy's 4 Halloween Edition" are set to be released on Halloween, Oct. 31.
