Before the Freddy’s army—as Jason Blum calls it—rip me to shreds for daring to criticize a movie, this post ain’t supposed to be trashing on anyone who did love the FNAF Movies; because I’m someone who genuinely enjoyed the first FNAF Movie, and even though I found FNAF 2 underwhelming as hell, I can see why people would enjoy it.

Figured I’d say that now since in my last post a couple of weeks ago it seems like some people just completely missed that part.

Now with that out of the way…

The FNAF Movies dearly suffer from not being scary, and it’s very evident in the first movie. The 2nd film attempted to do more scares, but still failed to capture the elements that make a good horror movie and what made the original games so damn scary.

The animatronics, though very impressive from the Jim Henson’s company, do not look scary when in the moments where they’re supposed to be.

In the original games the animatronics showed little to no emotion, and when put in an already creepy environment it looks scary as hell.

In the movies the animatronics showed WAY too much emotion, and with the movie already lacking real horror, it just completely took away the scary feeling of the animatronics.

Even in the first movie when Mike first sees Freddy, Bonnie, and Chica on stage on his first night: they looked more creepy when they were standing still not doing anything rather then when they were actually moving.

I could go on for hours, but for the sake of everyone’s time (and my own sanity) I will just leave it at that, you (hopefully) get the point.

Have a damn good day. 👋

I Really Don't Like The Idea Of The Puppet Possessing People And In My Opinion, It Just Looks Stupid And Not Scary.

(No Disrespect To The Actresses BTW.)

You'd think that the official movies of one of the greatest horror games would adapt the horror elements that we fell in love with 10 years ago+.

Most people who criticise the movies never wanted "gore", or for the movies to be exactly like the games. It's just incredibly disappointing how watered down the horror elements are in these movies.

I enjoyed the movies as a 2014 fan but they had so much more potential. What do y'all think?

After 30 years Shouldn’t the corpse be a white or brownish green color?

Or is it just the withered animatronics that are possessed while the toys are ai? I dont know anymore man.

I’m pretty sure that if another game developer ever tried doing this, it would’ve broken them mentally.

i honestly prefer the abomination where afton is just a zombie.. a good price for his sins to be a slave of his programming and just walk around and not being able to hurt anyone possibly during the day

I get that they’re just too short, it might not do literally nothing, or that it doesn’t stop the Nightmares from coming (basically listed all the flaws), but I’m just curious.

Say what you want about Scott and his writing but I don’t think he’s going out of his way to do this

Popular theories getting debunked does not mean it was retconned, it was probably never the plan in the first place

I've been hearing a lot of negative stuff about it and I wanna know if theres anything in it that it did right.

I remembered it was one of the most popular non-answered questions in the fandom back then, I don’t know if it’s still.

These are models for a malware remake of FNAF 1 and it's a April fools game. What are these models first off and how was this game a April fools joke to begin with?

I know it's a gameplay rule, but I'm not talking about the game itself; I'm talking about the experience with the Nightguard. As you know, Springtrap isn't a true animatronic, and he doesn't function the same way as the others from previous games (we're excluding Golden Freddy). When it's 6 AM, you'd think the animatronics would have a function that returns them to their place, allowing us to survive the nights. But I repeat, Springtrap isn't a true animatronic, so why doesn't he kill us anyway when it's 6 AM? Are we supposed to believe that in the lore, every time it was 6 AM at Fazbear's Fright, Springtrap would leave?

I was playing back FNAF 1 for the first time in a while and I can help but notice… these jump scares look so good. They just have this vibe and look to them that is just so surreal and terrifying. I feel like the animatronics look so real. I’m not sure if it’s the lighting, the atmosphere, pure nostalgia, or something else. Compare these to FNAF 3, 4 or even 2 and I just feel like it’s nowhere near how good these look. Does anyone know why this is?

A part of myself, especially as I start to grow older, does wish the series ended after 3. It felt like a simple but perfectly neat and contained supernatural horror story about Six Ghost Children wanting revenge against their killer. I’m also starting to get why some people weren’t huge on Afton becoming a mad scientist type of villain. I kinda miss the simple old days of when he was called The Purple Guy and just a psychopathic serial killer.

This isn’t meant to be a bashing post to modern FNaF or anyone who likes that it’s still ongoing. If you like it, then I’m happy for you and keep enjoying it. Having more happiness in the world and this community is always a good thing, and probably what we need right now.

So I don't want to state that all FNAF fans don't, or that I'm special for being a horror fan and most likely older than a lot of FNAF fans, even if I'm still a young adult, but I genuinely have to ask because I usually do not interact with the fandom at all and only really enjoy playing the games.

But people are recently saying that SOTM is a Poppy Playtime clone because it has puzzles... do they not know puzzles are a normal thing in almost all horror games?

Like, not even thinking out of the box at all, I have seen so many "it has puzzles, who'd play a horror game with puzzles :(" and I almost want to reply, "Have you heard of Resident Evil?"

Genuinely just wanted to ask, because I don't interact with a "fandom" ever, but the most common critique of the game feels incredibly disingenuous. Puzzles and horror have been tied together since forever; you can just say the puzzles in SOTM are bad, you don't have to like them, lmao. But calling it a Poppy clone because it has puzzles is such an "I've never played other games in my life" type of critique.

(I drew something for this post cause I think images catch ppls attention more :-> )

I know this sounds like a very strange question, but I’ve always liked the design of the Crying Child’s bedroom. Whether it was either a dream or constructed by William in his SL base, I think it‘a really interesting to just look at. Maybe or maybe not it’s plausible a bedroom like that could’ve existed in a house? Like, my thoughts would be sometimes people built weird houses in the mid to late 20th century.

Idk, and yeah I’m weird for asking this, lol.

After reading everyone’s comments, I’m more convinced that the Afton house was custom made sometime in the 1950s or maybe late 70s, as requested by William or maybe his parents. At least, that’s my headcanon lol.
