FNAF Movie THEORY - Abby's Dark Secret And Why It Matters | Five Nights At Freddy's Movie Explained! 

You cooked

Honestly, this is the first theory ive heard that explains why the hell they chose Ella specifically, good job.

"The two spirits possessing Golden Freddy" has been a theory considered for almost a full FNAF generation It makes sense 😅 It fits

this is actually a pretty good theory

Very interesting! I think Garrett might be possessing The Puppet, rather than Golden Freddy. The circumstances behind the death of the two kids - Garrett and the kid that becomes the puppet - are similar; they were both driven off. With your comment about how "he can’t see", I think it might be that The Puppet is constantly in the shadows of the pizzeria, and thus, it's hard to see. We also hear The Puppet's music box as the second end credits theme, after TheLivingTombstone's. It's most likely that The Puppet is going to be in the all-but-confirmed sequel. Also, apparently you could see The Puppet in some shots. Some have said that it was stage lights, but others have said it was The Puppet.

Was literally working on a theory a lot like this lol! Well back to the drawing board for me.

also I just realized I dont remember them ever using the scene where abby says "can we go home now?" but I might be wrong

Makes no sense for Afton to steal his own son unless Mike was adopted into another family.

I think this theory explains a lot; it makes me see the movie in a new light. Great job!

1:30 I thought he just reacted like that because he knew Garrett’s last name and recognized it. But maybe there’s more to it

Dude this theory is really good continue to do what you do

This is by far one of the better movie related theories I've come across and it definitely helps aid to a lot of .. let's just say "plotholes" to make up for what I'm hoping isn't poor writing, but along the lines of your theory.

I thought William kidnapped Garrett because he was William’s son. Maybe William and his wife divorced and she took both of his sons from him and he kidnapped Garret because he wanted to see his son again, don’t how or why he killed Garret but I guess we’ll see in the next movie.

If Garret is also possessing Golden Freddy it would explain the phrase "it's me" appearing after Mike talks to the blonde kid

I like this! It makes sense why they never created any romantic chemistry between Mike and Vanessa either since they would turn out to be siblings.

The one problem I have with this theory is the lack of evidence. William might have reacted to the other name because he remembered killing Mikes brother or because that’s the last name for the Emily family in this time line.

This has some good compelling evidence, and while personally I wouldn't be a fan of the whole family drama/stealing aspect I fear you're right

I've heard Ab or Abby short for Abigail and Liz, Lizzy, Beth or Eli short for Elizabeth, but never Abby for Elizabeth. That's mental.

I'm so glad I'm not the only one who thought this . Its a bit diffrejt to what I was theorising but fairly similar! It's nice to see someone with the same ideas :D

I agree with you so much, One question I have, who is Vanessa's mother? Is it Mrs Afton or someone else?

I had a feeling Mike was somehow not related to his "father". Isnt there a line where Mike says something about Abbys father and says "YOUR" or "HER" father and not "OUR" father? This theory would be great as it's basically the only explanation we could get to have Mike Schmidt actually be Michael Afton.. and I hope it's true

This is the only theory that makes sense to me, keep up the good work dude, you're gonna go far

This what I was thinking, the way she interacted with the animatronics and connections too them is just makes me think about Charlie. And to me Mikes younger brother looks similar to me to Crying Child. This just makes sense to me but who knows. We will know when fnaf 2 movie comes out. Rn I feel like Scott is cooking.. I can’t wait to see it but I will wait as long as it needs. Great theory, good points!

Every theory I see for this movie makes me love it even more. Great video and very solid theory.

this is exactly the line of thought i was having as i watched!! i rlly love this theory!

i fr was takling to my friend on saturday going abby could be the stand in for charlie before i even saw this good job on the video

Crying child/Evan afton/Chris afton is fredbear Garrett schmidt is balloon boy Charlotte/charlie emily is the puppet Cassidy is golden freddy And Elizabeth afton is circus baby

honestly i think the scene with raglan pausing and leaning in when he realizes who mike is, is because he's realizing "oh shit i killed this guy's brother didn't i. guess i gotta kill this guy too" but also this is a really neat theory!! i can see this also being just as plausible, but it also does kinda throw a big ol' wrench into me thinking mike/vanessa is a cute ship. aaaugggghhhh

I really like this theory it makes sense also only 5 more subs till you get 400! your growing so fast. congrats!

Great video as always!!! Love your stuff!

good job! genuinely. you may have changed my mind.

This starts to make sense when you realise in fnaf 4 when playing as crying child which is earlier than fnaf 4 nights gameplay they move at some point to a different house, meaning mike is probably living with his mom and henry in fnaf 4? He even has the sleeping pills on the nightstand

I think your right about golden Freddy but I like to call the kid Andrew because of the frights books and I makes more sense then Cassidy

Awesome video!

This is such a cool and well thought out theory!

Really hoping Vanessa is revealed to be a kid he took and brainwashed into being his assistant to lure others in, and not his actual daughter, would make it closer to the game and add depth to the bizarre change.

One thing that might not work about this theory is the timeline: Mike isn't familiar at all with Freddy's, so if his parents were connected to Freddy's, they'd have had to left that behind when he was not born yet or at least very young. The reason that may be a problem is that we know that the MCI was at least some way into the 80s, and the movie takes place in 2000. As far as I know, we aren't told Mike's age, but he seems to be older than 20 - Aunt Jane never references him being too young to properly care for Abby, which you would expect if Mike was that young. Also, when Garrett was taken, which has to be at least around 10 years ago, since Mike has to ask if Abby even knows they had another brother, Mike seems to be at least 10 years old. The actor for young Mike, Wyatt Parker, is 13, so I doubt he's meant to be that much younger.

really cool theory,i did not even think about it

I could be wrong but regarding mikes dad its not directly said he went away, the way its said could also be interpreted as he killed himself

I thought the same thing but you explained it way better than I ever could 😅

Also I subscribed.. you so underrated fr

0:40 My dumbass accidentally said that Abby was short for Abriella 💀

NICE THEORY ✨✨✨

woahh this is actually a good theory

Literally the only person who understood the movie and clearly studied up on their fnaf lore. Now watch bigger youtubers gather around like hyenas and take it from him. I'm sorry little owl guy

Dude, this is a solid theory. Very interesting

wow i really hope this theory is true because it makes the movie make SOOO much more sense

OH LOOK SOMEONE SUPPORTS MY THEORY

Ok. So why dose Afton send Mike to Freddy’s to get killed? The only reason he doesn’t get killed right away is because his dream surfing throws the children off. Foxy was on his way to take him to the torture device the night Vanessa shows up but is disrupted both by Mike chasing him in the dream and by Vanessa showing up.

If Mike and Vanessa are siblings then make sure u prepare to confront the Mike x Vanessa shippers 😭😭😭

3:17 fact: if you notice in the trailer, you will notice a video tape named "Mike"

I hope this is true, cause its a way to make this movie be less bad

This actually makes sm sense

Wow very interesting theory.

Good video 👍

I really love the idea that Mike's mum / Henry's wife is Mrs Afton

First, interesting quandaries now that my head is spinning in different directions 😅 Did anyone else notice something off about the eye of child that’s golden Freddy being kind of off? When I went to the theater to see it again yesterday it looked like the eye that’s off on golden Freddy the child actors eye looks different too. 🤷🏻‍♀️ or I’ve seen it so many times now my mind is making up things 🫣

Wow..this is interesting and might wrap it up

If the fans were writing the movie, this would be perfect. But I honestly think Vanessa is being set up to be Mike’s love interest, which would mean Mike can’t be William’s son (unless they’re doing a Luke/Leia thing 😑)

Okay but here's what we didn't see: What happened to Aunt Jane????? Where did she go after Abby left? There's never a funeral or anything shown. Did she live or die???

Wait this makes so much sense wtf

Hmm interesting. Hey did you notice that in the opening 8 bit scene Mike's name flashed purple but it changed to orange

i knew something was bugging me and now i know why

I hope the step father theory ( which is Willian’s wife left him, son his son micheal and marry Henry ) Is true because there so much foreshadowing that Abby will evenly becoming Circus baby while Michael will go to sister location and try to save her. Is a missed opportunity if Scott Cawthon didn’t make that happen

Genius !

I actually like this theory

I like your theory of Abby can be the puppet but we just have to wait and see for the prequel sequel to come out in 2025 okay okay

Well.. this retcons that Henry Emily is on the fnaf tape that was left for mike…

I LOVE THIS YOU COOKED if it's all right with you i have an entire 26 bits of evidence on mike in the film being an Afton id love to share with you on discord if that's ok with you?

Since when is "Abby", short for Abigail, "short for Elizabeth"?!

Is he pulling the same twist as in the trilogy? Seems unlikely. While he does want to retel the same story over and over again he doesn’t seem to want to repeat himself. So it’s unlikely that Michael is sammy is garret. It is also unlikely that Abby is a Charlie bot. But they could be. William afton kidnaps Charlie Emily Schmidt / Michael Schmidt Emily, and in his grief sammy/garret becomes Michael and Henry breaks and makes a Charlie/Michael bot that is Abby but then the mom dies and Henry disappears so Mike doesn’t know how to activate the next bot and Jane knows nothing of any of this. So she thinks it’s just another little girl that she can take control over for the government money. Then Vanessa is Michael/Charlie raised as a girl? (I genuinely have no idea if the stolen child is the male Michael as the stand in for Charlie or Charlie herself.) because it is unlikely that Vanessa is the adult Charlie/Michael bot, I see no reason why he would have that in this situation. I do need to find out the big twist to this retelling of the story. (Also where the Charlie bots fit into the games.) Tangent warning: Henry should not be in 6 because the creator of baby dies in fang world. Meaning we are now up to 4 robotisists at fazbears. William that dies in his spring trap suit in the back room in the burning down of frights and the pizzeria simulator who can not be the unknown creator of baby that was either killed by baby or committed suicide Like Henry did in the book but that can not be Henry because he died in the simulator fire or if he is Edwin he made the mimic and then dies in a massive web of circuitry that is either in a baobab tree or a massive statue of Freddy running the entire pizzaplex but apparently the mimic and it’s mimic one program predates everything and was made by a 4th robotics engineer named Edwin that did die in a baobab tree having discovered that his old mimic was involved in running the place. So who the hell made baby? Or wasn’t it Henry that made the pizzeria simulator? Is our cassette man the Mike Schmidt to Michaels Vanessa?

Who do you think is going to possess the puppet in the next movie? Or do you think it won’t be possessed and will be a security kinda thing?

So Ive had a theory very similar to this about games for a long time,but was always missing a few pieces to put everything together. I 100% support the idea Henry and William are both the fathers.

This is interesting however Garret and Mike are twins and the reason Afton recongnized Mike is because he took Garrett and Garrett and Mike looked familiar as children so I do believe mikes family is the Emily family but I don't think Mike is a Afton at all it's not like the games and novels

So is mikes brother the puppet I think I am right I know it is going to be his brother but I want to be shore

2:08 William cuckton real 😱!!?!?!?!!?

Interesting but i still think garrett is the puppet in this universe

Idk but this shit is nice!!! I ❤️ it

This is a good theory, though. I don’t think Michael in the movies is an Afton. I am 100% sure the intention is to do a switch of William and Henry’s family’s. and I don’t think Garrett is golden Freddy. I’m pretty sure he’s the puppet definitely hitting the subscribe button I like this channel.

correct me if i’m wrong on this, but is abby not mike’s half-sister? i remember this particular detail in the movie so if it is true it’s definitely not possible for mike’s mom to have given birth to her lol otherwise, yeah this would be an interesting way to take the films :]

Nice theory

For the FNAF movie, I feel like William Afton was supposed to be played by Willem Dafoe, but not just the real William Afton because he is friendly, but William Afton's two identical triplet brothers, such as Richard Afton, he is okay, and Vincent Afton, he is the real villian that should've been in the Spring Bonnie suit, and Matthew Lillard should be casted as just Steve Raglan, But they're all just my opinions.

I ain’t gone lie when it first heard about 2 would in one suit my first thought was, someone where this story got so convoluted that they realized they put 2 people in one character and just went with it. 😂 cause that shit still don’t make no sense 😅. As if they put the stuff out first then added the lore later once the community started giving ideas to what they think was going on lol

I thought in the movie they were setting up Mike and Vanessa to be lovers? But going on this theory that completely negates that thought entirely if it's true, I can't be the only one who saw the relationship between the two leading more to the lovers route?

One of the best theories I've heard about the fnaf movie. If not solved it.

Two questions. Why and how does Abby speak with the kids before Mike even works at the pizzeria? Why did William try and kill Mike if Mike is his son?

Eu achava que era o chaves na thumbnail por um segundo

Gg theory, love this!

I wanted to make this video 😭😭

why would a father try and kill his son also, i don’t think the nebraska thing is important it’s just mike needs the poster to make the dream “work”

This entire movie was leaked in my discord server💀

Wasn't Max stuffed into the springlock dog suit? Also, why does Balloon Boy appear in Michael's locker when he first comes to work at Freddy's and he has to turn the plastic toy around? That one shot with one-eyed Freddy, it looked like there was a hand laying in the socket, maybe I am just seeing things since I did watch a FNAF analog horror where kids' limbs were coming out of the animatronics. I did have a similar theory about the cupcake, that William Afton might have cut up the kids' bodies and put them in the animatronics, well mainly the one possessing Chica, Susan. Well, not her, but the kid with the top hat who I think was actually possessing Freddy Fazbear and not put in Chica alongside Susan while his hand was put into the cupcake. I hope I am making sense. There were four animatronics and five kids, so I just assumed that two of the kids were sharing Chica and one of them, somehow controls the cupcake. It does sound stupid. I would love to keep it to where Michael is actually Abby and Garrett's brother and in no way, related to Vanessa Afton. The whole, "I ran off with your pregnant wife and you kidnapped my son" just seems very cliche. I prefer to keep it to where in the books that Abby and Garret's father is actually the one that built the animatronics.

Scott Cawthon confirmed Mike isn't an Afton.

I think Garrett is the Puppet/Charlie, was originally male after all. Also, don't think Sparky is a Springlock, looks to be like Freddy or Bonnie in torso design. Is it just me or does "torture Freddy" as Dawko calls it look like Dreadbear?

Ok but like if Michael is an Afton then how does Vannessa not remember him? Their ages are never implied but its weird to believe she wouldn't know of him. Even if Mike was an Emilx, why doesn't he know of the pizzeria? The theory just creates too many plotholes and saying that miss. Afton and Henry were together has no basis whatsoever...

Great theory! I like how you noticed things other people have missed. Also with the whole Abby is Charlie thing I think it's also important to point out how much abby looks like charlie (with her short brown hair.) All that said I'm not sure how I feel about Henry cucking William lmao.

I think the final confrontation needs to be taken into account A LOT when you were researching this video. In the final confrontation, its made pretty obvious that William has a very cold/lack of emotional attachment to Mike at all. His intentions are made pretty clear *"First I killed your brother, now I kill you."* We now know 100% he killed Garrett, and he wants Mike dead simply because *"Symmetry my friend!"* it doesn't go, nor does it need to go much deeper beyond that. Why does he kill Garrett? Cause you know, hes a murderer. And he literally kills five other children randomly, so its not hard that he simply took Garrett out of opportunity, just like the other kids. Also Abby's existence wasnt even known until she was brought to the Pizzeria by Mike, and then the ghost children learned about her, and Afton learned about her through the kids. He says it himself during the final confrontation *"The little ones tell me have a Sister!"* His odd reaction when reading Mike's name is because he recognizes it as the same sir name of Garrett, who's name he definitely would have seen all over the news after he kidnapped and killed him. And also, Mike was there the day Garrett got taken, so Afton saw him as well. Hence his reaction, and why he winced at him, he has to make sure it is who he thinks he is. And then all of a sudden he get super friendly, why? Cause he wants to convince Mike to work at Freddy's, which works, so he can get murked. As we see Foxy and even William himself try to do himself. Cause again, "Symmetry my friend!"* Mike has absolutely no reaction to hearing the name "William Afton" when Vanessa reveals it to him cause its obvious he has no idea who that is. If that were his father he would have recognized the name instantly. Its only when she reveals that Afton is *her* father does Mike have any kind of emotional reaction since he feels betrayed and lied to. Also the entire plot twist of a character being Afton's child was used on Vanessa, so having Mike be also his child (even though he isn't in this timeline) would be a completely redundant writing choice. I get what you were going for here, but theres too much trying to compare this obvious new lore to completely separate continuity which makes the movies plot more complicated then its trying to be. Its just reaching at too many straws that either aren't there or are too vague to stake a claim one. For once in this case, FNAF is in fact, not that deep. Still a good video though.

I've noticed that a lot of Mike parallels in the Fazbear Frights have a stepparent. I've a bit of an in my head theory that the Afton and Emily children might have the same mother.

garret is def the puppet

Wait wait wait- so you're saying that the woman cheated on William with Henry??? And that's why there's no trace of William's wife in none of this and that's why he makes ballora, as he wants to rebuild his family so that means his wife too? Who just dipped without the kids? Man I didn't think we'll have kid custody debates in the fnaf lore- but here we are
