  • FNAF ANALOG HORROR IS MY NEW WORST FEAR
    I had been recommended the FNAF VHS tapes for some time now... and what better time to dive into the medium with the highly anticipated live action film just around the corner! My knowledge of the games lore only goes up to the fourth game so this is going to act as a very interesting case as I am probably going to be learning more about the games hidden story through the horrifying lenses of these analog tapes. That is if they follow the games story...

      Some of my favorite FNAF VHS content creators include Squimpus McGrimpus, Battington (who remade most of Squimpus McGrimpus's tapes but has since moved on to making wholly original tapes), and Spectre.
      Theer is also a horror content creator named Vibing Leaf who does remakes of old creepypastas and other horror media, if you're interested.

    The thought of Afton taking pieces from the kids bodies, to try and literally "put him back together", him being the crying child, is actually terrifyingly brilliant for the character, it gives meaning to the murder, and how William has gone so mentally insane, to the point were he's makes an amalgamation to try and bring his son back to life.

    Listening to you not understand FnaF lore or not know about certain characters is both comical but also extremely refreshing to me, because on one hand, a lot of these are very important characters that you don't know, like that "Rat" animatronic is actually just a cloth version of a spring bonnie suit that has a ton of lore attached to it from the more recent games. But it's also insanely refreshing that you don't know this stuff because nowadays the FnaF lore is just super congested and annoying to try and follow for the most part.

    Just a thought - Goosebumps was also a media franchise mostly enjoyed by children where the horrible stuff only happened to the children. Imo - FNAF appeals to kids as their first taste of horror.
    The games have dark topics, but they're obscured by bright visuals and vague allegory. And as a horror media, a little jump scare is a much more approachable horror than games like Outlast, where the adult themes are on screen.

    (Please read this. I spent so much time on this comment) They turned a complex story full of rage, sorrow, and revenge, to games focused on completion, and new, flashy looks for the animatronics, and other factors that have been twisted and manipulated turn the franchise into a not so interesting series of games later released.
    Here’s what it was: a dark, twisted man, who killed a great amount of children, stuffed them into suits, and got away with it. Their helpless, innocent souls are trapped in those robots, forever. Later, the killer, William Afton, destroys the possessed animatronics, which sets their souls free. As the spirits corner William, his eyes dart around the room, desperate, for something to save him. He spots an old, spring Bonnie spring lock suit, sitting there. He puts the suit on, an starts laughing, thinking that he has fooled the spirits. The mixture of his laughter, and the leaking of the roof, caused the spring-locks in the suit to go off. as they crush him, head to toe, he lets out blood curling screams, shouting people’s names, hoping for someone to come. After a few seconds of quick, dreadful pain, the spring locks located just in the neck area, go off, crushing his vocal cords preventing him from even making the slightest of sounds. He lays there, punctured everywhere and hopeless. For the next 30 years, he is trapped in a room, thinking of the things that have happened to him in the past, and what could of been prevented.
    That is just one example of the many things that happened.
    Here’s what it is now: a boy named Gregory, runs around Freddy’s pizzaplex, dodging animatronics, and he’s friends with freddy. No gore, no scary scenes, nothing. Does that sound like true fnaf to you?

    As for the young audience, at least in France, a lot of famous youtubers challenged themselves to play / stream the games and these youtubers have a very young audience so most of the kids I knew were introduced to the game like that, by watching youtubers playing it. My little cousin and her friends never played by themselves but they knew everything about the games and watched so many videos about it. I think most of them didn't even care about the "murdering children" part, it was just creepy and scary enough to gain their interest.

    The first FNAF game was a masterful act of more subtle horror. Nothing about it is inherently scary, but the setting and the lighting makes it uncanny. Even the later games leave the really messed up stuff to implication and I think that’s also a very good way of handling it if you wanna go the subtle route.

    Edit: Yes, I am aware that children have been in the community since fnaf 1, I myself have been in the community off and on since the fnaf 2 trailer came out.
    What I was trying to say is that this series newer games caters a lot more to younger audiences then it used to and that is why I believe there has been a increase in the amount of younger audiences and thus is a large reason why there is so many children in the community today.

    Seeing your journey going through multiple Analog Horror series has been a great watch. I remember I got into this genre of horror back in 2021 with Kane Pixel's first Backrooms video. Since then, more and more people have been creating their own Analog Horror series and I'm proud of the work these creators have made.

    11:57 Tale Foundry actually made a video about children's alure to horror, fnaf being a big example. While I would say that the newer games definitely brought in a more younger audience, I think children also just want to be scared, and since fnaf is a game where the scares upfront aren't as horrifying as the subtle story (like how there's barely any gore, but death is a present theme) behind it unlike other more "adult" horror games that straight up show the more intense horror, children are more naturally attracted to it similar to how they're attracted to ghost stories like bloody mary. It's only when we get older do we realize the actual horror of the story behind Fnaf, and is something that these VHS tapes perfectly convey

In my opinion, it's the best balance of actually explaining enough to understand the lore while also not being 8 hours long, and he made it specifically for people to be able to understand the VHS tapes. Also on that topic, I'd recommend going over the Squimpus McGrimpus FNAF VHS tapes.

    A primer on FNAF lore:
    Two guys open a restaurant chain with robot performers. For some reason, one of them decides to murder children. He murders some himself at first(?) and decides to build murder robots while using the same branding. One of his kids gets reverse chestbursted by a giant Clown Toddler robot and he decides not to open the child murder restaurant where he was gonna murder children all the time. We will come back to this.
    He has two other children. The elder shoves the younger into one of the non-murder robots. The robot goes chomp. Young kid dies and old kid feels remorse at this.
    At this point dozens of kids died and a majority of the various robots are super haunted. The serial killer guy gets away with murdering a bunch of kids on camera due to wearing a bunny robot-suit. The robots want to kill adults who stick around Fazbear Facilities now and that's why the gameplay of FNAF 1 and 2 happens.
    Okay so remember the Child Murderer guys murderrobots? Yeah he wants to study ghost juice, which can be split into Remnant and Agony. Remnant is basically just normal ghost matter but with a steel dual type. Agony is an emotion, and in FNAF, emotions can make stuff haunted somehow, and Agony just happens to be the most potent one.
    Later books say he studies fear too and suggest that's what happens in FNAF 4 but Imma just assume that game is actual nightmares had by either Elder child or Younger Child because the crap child murderer guy was getting away with was ludicrous enough as is.
    Speaking of Elder child, he goes into the basement where the murdererguy stores the murderrobots while not using them for murder. The clowntoddler who ate his sibling and might be possessed by her now gets him into the Scooping Room where the murderrobots, who are sapient by the way, have turned themselves into a convenient pile of electronic Spaghetti ready to use him as a skinsuit. This works out great, until his body rots away, and the Robot Spaghetti bails.
    Right so turns out that this Elder child was apparently maybe all the protagonists of all the games up till then and some after, and that's why the protagonists keep getting fired for being smelly. Apparently the ghost juice the murderrobots and Scooper left on and in him means he can possess himself, and maybe regenerate. We are not quite sure about that one.
    Right right. Forgot about the child murderer still at large? He decides to break into the FNAF 1 location and break all the haunted robots apart for some reason.
    (A theory states that he uses them to power and uplift the murderrobots with ghost juice, but there are already other ways for him to get ghost juice so I don't see the point). (Another theory states this actually happens way back between Fnaf 2 and Fnaf 1 and the robots are rebuilt after but let me just stick with the less complicated interpretations here).
    Right so he destroys the robots and the kids decide to show up as apparitions instead. He hides in that bunny robot-suit from earlier and it malfunctions and kills him.
    He decides not to die, and instead possesses his own body, much like his child would do in a later game.
    That's right, this happens in FNAF 3. For those having trouble keeping track, the order goes FNAF 4 minigames - FNAF 5 aka Sister Location (maybe?) - FNAF 2 - FNAF - FNAF 3.
    FNAF 4s gameplay happens either around the same time as FNAF 4, or sometime after FNAF the first, depending on whose nightmares they are. Leaning towards the latter myself.
    Right right right.
    So elder child works for a haunted house inspired by the Freddy murders now. They find his dad, in his bunnysuit, and the two passive aggressively bicker for a while. That's FNAF 3.
    Meanwhile (or maybe way later or way earlier) one of the ghost children decides to help the other children move on. By throwing a banger party! FNAF World (a spin-off) is about setting this party up, and it finally happens two games earlier in FNAF 3.
    At the end of FNAF 3, the building burns down, but murderbunny escapes.
    Now, remember how I said "Two guys" at the beginning? Turns out the other guy had one of his kids murdered by the murderer, and been plotting his revenge ever since. He sets up a semi-fake Pizzeria as a trap for the various robotic horrors now roaming around the town. That is, it's a real building that serves Pizza, but its storerooms are a weird maze structure designed to be confusing and unescapable.
    He builds a hollow bear robot to capture the ghost who is his dead child (who is probably also the one who set up the party earlier), and a fun buffet for the Murderbunny and the Still-at-large Spaghetti. Who has had a messy breakup, and the main Spaghetti decided to grab a Freddy mask, while the probably haunted former toddlerclown tries to rebuild her toddlerclown form.
    Also, the Murderbunny looks really weird now.
    The eldest son (we believe) takes the job, and after gathering everybody the other guy burns the whole ass mess to the ground, himself included.
    Whoops, it didn't quite work, murderbunny is still undead enough for Ghost juice CPR, and also, he forgot at least one of the kids, who took the murder thing really personally and simulates Ultimate custom Night to torment him.
    If the second book series is partially canon, That particular kid gets up to adventures with some other also forgotten murder victim while various forgotten ghostjuiced robots and critters cause mayhem in the vague vacinity. Murderbunny comes back again, they defeat him, there's a weird shapeshifter, it doesn't really matter all that much, and is basically just a weird epilogue interrupted by unrelated anthology stories that may or may not be connected.
    So yeah, that's the story of FNAF!!!
    Except turns out that ACTUALLY FNAF was made up by a rogue Indie dev. The Fazbear Company trademarked makes another game, this one VR, to poke fun at them.
    Except turns out that ACTUALLY the dev was hired by FazCo. And also they were lazy with development and scanned something bad in. This something is either the Murderbunny again, or a leftover robot built to replicate what it sees deciding that the Murderbunnyman is a good role model. Whoever it is, they brainwash the person playing the game.
    The THIRD bookseries (the first is confirmed non-canon thank fuck) details the building of a megamall theme park known as the Pizzaplex (and how parts of it keep breaking down because the robots there get murdery), and the backstory and continued shenanigans of that Replicator Robot. If the books are canon, Replicator was built by some nobody who wasn't named in the earlier games and died before he could appear in the later games, whoops.
    The mobile tie in game, FNAF AR, happens, where someone else does the murderbot thing again, but this time with even more on the nose Fazbear branding. We don't know who, but we do know that this seems to be canon. The game lacks a story mode so it thankfully limits itself to characterizing the brainwashed character, and some others.
    Security breach happens!
    Young homeless(?) boy Gregory needs, with the help of the friendly sapient robot Freddy Fazbear (Glamrock edition), to hide from other robots, and the brainwashed person from FNAF VR. She is wearing a budget fursuit (without robo parts), modeled after a mask that shows up in FNAF VR. Her name is Vanny, and she appears to be the alter ego of the local security guard, Vanessa. Over the course of the night, Gregory vandalizes the FazCo property in self defense, and ends up playing video games to defeat Vanny and cause Vanessa to stop being a jackass to him.
    A bossfight with maybe-murderbunny-maybe-Replicator-bot does not happen, where we do not see an entity that looks like the Spaghetti robot from FNAF 6 gathered enough wires and leftover junk to qualify as megafauna. The noodle dish does not proceed to eat MMBMRB after the latter fails to murder Gregory. But it seems something similar maybe happens, we don't really know yet.
    Also Gregory might be a brainwashing victim too and might have murdered more people than Vanny, we don't know for sure yet.
    Zzzzoop! Fast forward an unknown amount of time. An earthquake destroyed the wretched Pizzaplex. Cassie, Gregory's childhood friend whom he doesn't mention or talk to, finds out he's trapped beneath, and decides to rescue him, murdery robots be damned. She gets a hold of the mask Vanny modeled her fursuit after, which can warp reality and brainwash people. After getting all the way down the ruins, through the remains of the FNAF 6 Pizzeria, through the staircase beneath that, through a cave system, and through a magical tunnel in not that order, she finds... Not Gregory, obviously, but that Replicator Robot, who was mimicking him all along. Who could have seen that coming. The Robot chases her through some tunnels while she finally connects to the real Gregory, and we don't know which ending is canon so:
    1. She flees into an elevator. Either Gregory or the Robot decides to mcfucking kill her by dropping the elevator. A stinger suggests this failed.
    2. She finds a Character cutout and decides to give up.
    3. She runs into a secret room where the mimicking Replicator Robot (who is wearing a weird attempt at a Gregory costume) gets scooped by a scooper that doesn't look like the one that also scooped the Elder child from way back, but might be the same one anyway because this franchise is stupid like that sometimes. The costume remains, seemingly empty. Spooooky.
    ...So yeah that's the short version. For the long version, please refer to phisnom's "Teaching a FNAF noob about FNAF lore" livestream.

    Analog horror and FNAF are honestly a match made in heaven. The genre is the perfect way of exploring the retro 80s-inspired horror that the early FNAF games (and to an extent even the newer ones) lean so heavily into. It’s just a shame that one of the biggest content creators in FNAF analog horror turned out to be such an utterly vile excuse for a human being; they influenced the subgenre in a huge way, but now it’s genuinely hard to look back on their content without feeling nauseous.

    My favourite of them all is the police car VHS tape. Where two officers are driving while on duty and they get radioed to rush to the pizzeria since CC got bit.
    You don't get any footage of the pizzeria itself, just dialogue over the radio with officers and medics in distress, children and parents crying and screaming, while the officers in the car keep rushing down the road.
    It's insane how well the narration and dialogue is, since you can easily paint a picture of what is going on inside the place without difficulty. It's a unique approach to the VHS style and probably has the most effort put into it.
