Five Nights At Freddy's

Spoiler: Feels Ahead

Spoiler: Why the Feels?

"Gather round kids, I have a headcanon to share.

The background of Freddy Fazbear’s Pizza is vague but one thing is certain. Four children were murdered, their bodies never found by police. Since then, the animatronics had been described as walking corpses. It’s been thought that they’re possessed by the dead children, furthered by the audio glitch that’s been discovered. The animatronic screams usually stop half way through the track, but if they carry on they become what sounds like a child’s scream.

So, this got me thinking. If these things are possessed by children, but how often does the child shine through the character they portray?

Foxy has unique behaviour in the game. Hiding behind the curtains of pirate’s cove, where he seems to be rotting away. He only comes out when the cameras aren’t watching, only to run to the security room and find you there.

My theory? Foxy, until he successfully runs into the security room, is recreating his final living moments as a child. His injured self, hiding in pirate’s cove, waiting for the opportune moment to run to the security room to grab to phone in hopes that someone will come to save him, before his murderer catches up to finish him off.

When you shut that door just in time, he bangs against it in despair, before hiding once more. He’s stuck in an endless and terrified cycle, unless he finds you first."

I'd prefer going the less super natural route since I not only find it a lot more unnerving, but like I mentioned before, having the animatronics be possessed by 2spooky ghosts/demons would be really lame and cliched.

I think the whole secret military experiment theory could be true. I noticed in the back stage there's one of the endoskeletons slumped over on the work bench next to a black eyed Bonnie mask. Well while I was trying to find where the fuck one of them went, I checked in the back stage and saw the endoskeleton sitting straight up staring at the camera along with all the other spare costumes. I think the main theory is that the suits are possesed by the kids, not the robots. Then why would this spare skeleton bestaring at you if it's not in one of the haunted suits? Of course the story says there were 5 kids missing and there's only 4 mascots so maybe the last kid just kinda haunts the backroom? I don't really know but seeing all the stuff back there staring at me really creeped me the fuck out.

Found this and thought it was pretty catchy.

I like that song too.

Also, the more I begin to think about it, the part when the lights go out reminds me of what people can experience whenever sleep paralysis occurs. You know something is in the room with you or at least right outside the door, but you can't do anything about it because you can't move. Only in this case it's an animatronic bear instead of a shadowy figure.

Who here has come up with a theory as to how Freddy Fazbear's Pizza was able to reopen? I imagine part of it would involve getting rid of Foxy due to causing the Bite of '87.

I can't even give a theory about Golden Freddy, though... I'd guess from Mike's insane paranoia every time he puts down the camera his mind could be playing a wicked trick on him, but that seems a bit of a stretch; being someone who has hallucinations unless on my meds, I don't think something like that in a typical, probably sane person would just manifest a giant slouching bear that apparently kills you.

I came up with a theory that Golden Freddy isn't just a figment of Mike's imagination, but is actually how he's seeing Freddy as a demonic creature due to the paranoia he's enduring just being a night guard at the place. Him getting killed is actually Freddy's doing, not Goldie.

I have sleep paralysis almost every night, near the morning a few hours before I wake up, and I can safely say that only being able to control the cameras and which door you look at it a lot like that, including what crazy shit your mind is making you see since you're between being awake and asleep. You can't wake yourself up and you have to lie there waiting (or in this case, until it's 6 am).

If the animatronics are programmed to stuff all endoskeletons into suits, how come Bonnie completely ignores the endoskeleton on the table Backstage and looks right at you instead, hmm?

It might be because the endoskeleton on the table is in pieces and therefore not recognized by them, and the robots see the cameras lit up in the dark and believe them to be connected to a malfunctioning animatronic.

 

[Watermelon1337]

Might be because they know backstage is where they're put together. It's also not where the kiddies will see the endoskeleton; if it was wandering around the rooms with the animatronics it probably would be just as much of a target.

That endoskeleton is also awake/active during the game and watching you with the other animatronics, too, so it most likely knows it has to stay backstage until the staff put it in a suit.

Has anyone looked at the FNAF wiki recently? The page layout gives me bad flashbacks. Screencap didn't catch it but it turns your cursor into Freddy, Bonnie when you hover over a link, and Chica when you hover over text.

 

[Count groudon]

What gets me about the whole "they try to catch and shove you into a suit because they think you're a robot out of its costume" thing is the fact that during the day they're totally harmless, but suddenly at midnight they attack anything that gets in the place thinking its an endoskeleton and they don't stop til exactly 6 AM. Also why would they be programmed to shove skeletons into suits? It looks like most of the spare endoskeletons that aren't stuffed in a suit are stored away in the back room so it really shouldn't be that much of an issue. And why do they completely ignore foxy? His suit is torn to shreds to the point that it barely covers his robotic parts and yet they seem to completely ignore him walking around. Also why does foxy's suit still have a skeleton in it if he's supposed to be locked away and shut down?

No one is allowed to be walking around without a suit after hours, either. 6 or 7 must be when the pizzeria opens. I'm guessing the programmers of the animatronics maybe made this odd decision to purposefully make the suits think that people after hours (loiterers, security guards, kids) weren't obeying the rules, and stuff them in the suits. The pizzeria's proven that they don't mind the fact Freddy and the gang kill people, so maybe they're influencing it as well.

I have a feeling the last security guard made up his own theory on why they shove you into suits. We're going only on his theory, and the guy already believed the animatronics were just being silly and not harmful or malevolent. Look how that turned out. Maybe there's been other endoskeletons who have walked around with their suits off before and it became such a problem the staff had to reprogram them, OR the staff reprogramed them to stuff people into suits for more horrible reasons we don't know.

Maybe they can't catch Foxy since he's really fast (although Bonnie was running in the trailer so I'm pretty sure all of them can run). He's kind of the outcast since he's been put to collect dust behind his stage curtains. He may really hate thinking that there's another endoskeleton that's just roaming free while he's forced to be 'out of order' all day, and he's known for being unpredictably paranoid about you looking at him or ignoring him through the cameras.

Foxy still having an endoskeleton in it is the same reason he's kept active and not actually shut down despite being 'out of order' - the people working at the pizzeria are either negligent like hell or they want their animatronics to continue maiming people. If Foxy was the one who bit through a kid's head, they'd lie about him being inactive and just put behind his stage when really we can clearly see he's still running pretty well.

Half of the video is the end title. That's slightly disappointing.

So I work as a night custodian at a school and am pretty much alone in the building for the last half of my shift. I was finishing up my work for the night and saw a stack of index cards on the floor. I picked them up, flipped them over, and saw this on the top card.

Spoiler: No lie...

Nigga, You might want to be ready for Freddy.

Did you hear? They're doing another one.

Already posted. But thanks though.

I wonder what new animatronics will appear? I heard that Scott was planning on using animatronics that were cut from the original.

Nah bro, you should be okay. According to that card it's describing Freedy's Pizza Place, not Freddy's. Apparently there the animatronics share pizza and do fractions instead of chasing people down and being general creepers.

 

[ASoulMan]

I wonder if it's possible to hack/replace the audio in the game?

It would be funny if somebody replaced the Toreador March with this:

So turns out Scott, the guy who made the game, is actually a pretty successful indie developer who mostly works on christian themed games. I wonder what made him decide to switch over to making games about a satanic teddy bear and his buddies hunting down underpaid security gaurds? Whenever somebody asks him about it he always jokes about how "they" made him do it or something.
