Former Chuck E. Cheese workers, what's your horror story? 

Beware the 7-foot rat man!

The fnaf movie is a comedy with horror elements. They knew they couldn't take it seriously and make a good movie, so they had fun with it.

god people are annoying. the robo chuck-e and band are bolted to the stage and in most places still controlled by a goddamn floppy disk. they're SO not high-tech enough to walk around, not even remotely 🙄

The FNaF movie was fun. It was 100% made for the fans, and the Cupcake has the highest kill count.

The FNAF movie leans more into the thriller variety rather than horror, so some of these stories are definitely scarier than the movie. The movie wasn't even partially scary, seeing as I kept taking myself out of the immersion and saying shit to myself like "it's all gonna end up good because it's a movie" and "it's all just acting". I bet, if I was fully immersed, the parts that were supposed to be tense would have definitely done their job.

Five Nights at Freddy's, but the only thing terrifying is the customers. You play as the animatronics trying not to go insane and just up and killing everyone, while also managing a pizza joint.

that second was literally fnaf

used to work at CEC as a game room attendant. ive had to wear the rat costume multiple times (which was never cleaned and it smelled awful), clean vomit off the rug multiple times, pull a chicken bone out of the drain at the drink fountain, clean melted ice cream off a ski ball machine, found a half smoked cigarette while cleaning tables, been tipped with bible tracts/political fliers, peeled a tampon off the wall in the bathroom, and had the flu at least 5 times before i had to quit for my own wellbeing. also, i saw the FNAF movie (really enjoyed it) and id have to say my own experiences at CEC were more horrifying than the FNAF movie

Went with a friend of mine to Chuck E. Cheese about a decade ago even though I didn’t have kids to help her and some of the other parents to keep an eye on the children since I was small and could get into the play places to help wrangle the kids since there were so many of them. It was a BIG Birthday party with at least 60 kids! I got free pizza and a cake and showed the kids how to play ski ball and helped them get some toys on the claw machine. The problem was, some of the kids had HEAD LICE. The whole party, kids, adults, me, and some staff all got the LICE! Ugh! It was horrible! My head is itching just typing this up from the memory. My mother came over and helped me spray the house down and to put all clothing and bedding into bags, and help me pick the Nix shampoo and nit comb through my hair while she wore a tyvek suit and tight taped on shower cap.

The scariest thing was when the animatronics didn’t work so they had a Chuck E. Cheese mascot costume and the guy in the costume was doing fortnite dances 💀

I'm not surprised by all these stories because the Chuck E Cheese in my area got shut down because of all the violent brawls that would break out. The last one resulted in a woman getting her face slashed by a box cutter

Man chuck e was my first job and over a decade later, I still think back on it fondly. These people must have had some wack ass stores they worked at 😂😂

“Not Chuck E. Cheese but a family themed hotel” I knew one of my co-workers would come here. 🐺

The FNAF movie was real fun, though I'm curious about the hidden storyline. Also, don't expect it to be like the games, it takes place in an alternate universe.

About 25 years ago my friend worked at CeC and one time they made a pizza with shrooms and weed, but somehow it went out to a birthday party. (Edit: It was supposed to be just for them in the back.) Since the adults were eating an entirely different pizza they never noticed, the kids just started acting really weird and crazy and I guess they just chalked it up to "kids at chuck e cheese."

I used to work at the Chuck E Cheese’s in Alaska the summer of 1998. It was no different from other Chuck E Cheeses except small animals would often sneak into the building during the winter to escape the cold. My job was to perform in costume but one day I’m just cleaning the arcade cabinets after hours waiting for my boss to finish counting tills in the other room before we could lock up. And I thought I heard something coming from the stage. And I look up and Hellen Heny is staring right at me. After hours they always just stare but I was standing directly in her line of sight and it was giving me the willies. When I heard the loudest *CAW*! I fell onto the arcade cabinet behind me It just about gave me a heart attack. Turns out a raven had snuck into the building and decided to hide behind Mr. Munch. It was a thousand times scarier than any Fnaf jump scare!

The second story had me thinking “yooooo William Afton is at it again” 😮😮

I worked the night shift at chucky cheese so i can safely say that the amatronics get a little quirkey at night!

People seriously drop their kids off like some sort of free daycare? If i was a worker, i would call CPS with no hesitation while giving that kid free games

No wonder my mom never allows me to go to chuck e cheese anymore

Not a horror story but I went to a chucky to see the annamatronic chucky in the corner (yes I’m a fnaf fan). Chucky in the suit ( a person in a suit not a robot) came out to say hi to the kids. I caught him and I wanted a picture with him (I think this was my 19 bday). My head blanked with his nose while he was trying to pose with me. He had to position his large rat head to be just to the side of me. Nice guy. Diddnt seem to mind taking a picture with an older teen and posed with a hang loose sign and I got a cool picture. The robot was really cool to see. He was falling apart tho. He had shaking hand syndrome.

5:08 OKAY LETS JUST IGNORE THE *KID LOSING AN EYE*

The FNaF movie is stylized after classic 80s to 90s cheesy so-bad-it’s-good slasher films, with all the classic traits: 1. Friendship given the same amount of screen time as a romance, but kept platonic, 2. Massive tone shifts that feel jarring on the first watch but are easy to get used to, and 3. Mathew Lillard playing a major character. Definitely not as horrifying as these stories, but a significantly more enjoyable experience.

I worked there from 2002-2004 when I was in high school. A lot of the parents were entitled. Lots of Karen’s who were mad they couldn’t monopolize my time as Chuck E when I dressed up in the costume. Some kids were abusive and just liked to hit you. Around Christmas time someone kept breaking into cars stealing presents cause people would go shopping and come to the restaurant after they were done. Lots of stories from there.

Years ago when my two nephews were young kids, they each, several years apart, had a birthday party at Chuck E. Cheese. They were both on Friday afternoons at 1:00 PM, a time when I would be at work, but near to end of shift. I could have got off work, but apologized to the boys, both of whom I adored, saying I was sorry. I could not come to the party because I was working. Dodged a bullet there. I did make their birthday cakes though, ask I was a professional baker. Pikachu, Harry Potter, Winnie the Pooh, the KU Jayhawk, you name it.

i used to work at CEC as a cook. i was one of two cooks and the other cook was in only once a week. they put me in charge of the kitchen to keep up standards but the problem was it was the managers that had bad kitchen practices and they were the ones usually in the kitchen when i wasn't. also sometimes they'd pull me out of the kitchen to put me in the rat suit even though i still had to man the kitchen. the whole place was very poorly managed and a year and a half after i quit they shut down.

Loved how a Pizza Hut ad pops up in the middle of stories about how horrible Chuck E Cheese is. 😅

We breaking outta Fredbear’s with this one 💯 🗣️

All the other employees said i was good at being the rat This was code for them getting you to do it so they didnt have to

This sounds a lot like the gokart track I work at. Even has an arcade and pizza parties. Except the birthday kid hits the wall at mach 1 and we get to laugh at his and the parents expense. I'm glad my position is strictly track only so I don't have to deal with parents ordering me around. You can see the crazy in their eyes when they talk to you.

1:46 i call cap. The animatronics are bolted to the stage, cannot and will not move because they don't have the code to move their legs

Not Chuck E Cheese, but I know what people want out of these stories. It was still an arcade. Some guy trailed poop over several hundred feet worth of the building. How did they know it was a man? The trail led to the men's room, where both sinks had been soiled and it didn't take long to spot the man with the stained shorts. He didn't leave. He just stood against walls with his vile shorts. I had to scrub vomit out of carpet while still a new employee. Someone ass-blasted the back of a toilet. Puke in the urinal Pee on the bathroom floor Some adult woman peed herself, walked away from the puddle, THEN slipped in her own mess. Something in the urinal that wasn't urine, vomit, blood, or feces, but was definitely biological My male coworker had his chest felt up by a very high mother of teenage children. My other male coworker had his leg felt up by a kid while we tried to get a giant puddle of water off the air hockey table. The other children present were splashing it around with their hands. I got threatened and cussed out by a child. Dirty diapers on the eating tables. Fingernails. Fingernails everywhere. A customer flooded two bathrooms because they were mad that they couldn't bring in outside food. A kid peed in a sit-down game because his mother wouldn't make him stop playing to go to the bathroom. On occasion, when able, my managers would pull the ultimate Chad move of making people clean their own (drunk) vomit. Drunken brawls of course Some half naked drunk girl was found in a puddle of her own vomit in the bathroom Some asswipe used a _nearly_ spent toilet paper roll to wipe his ass, then placed it on the hand rail in the disabled bathroom stall (yes, there were other, fuller rolls of TP to use as well as the sheets remaining on that poor, violated, tortured small roll) Some guy had a hemorrhoid burst, then filled the toilet with paper towels. I had to crawl into a game with sensitive electronics in the playfield and VERY limited area to support myself in order to retrieve a customer's ring. I cut my hand trying to get gum out of the carpet. With the tool? Nope. Cut on the old, dried gum. Kids would try to steal prizes from behind the counter pretty often (4 and under got a pass in my book, and the parents of the littlest ones were often very apologetic and tried chasing after their tots themselves) A wholesome one: I was bored, so I was showing a kid the best techniques for certain games. She seemed very excited to be learning from an employee, especially when I geeked out over the games and congratulated her success. Her father even refered to me as her "chaperone", trusted me to keep an eye on her when he had to step away for just a moment (yes, he came back), and asked for me back when I had to go do another task. The man was very kind and appreciative of my willingness to teach his child, and he was present for most of it, so I didn't mind taking a break from the bordeom of walling around aimlessly waiting for other tasks.

i love this fellas videos, they help make dishes entertaining

I only ever saw a chuck e cheese. A couple of times never went in because I always got a seriously bad vibe from just standing outside of the store. I prefer to go to round one or main event arcades.

I was repairing an animatronic and when I walked away “run” and then I saw the animatronic get up. But I remembered that I accidentally turned it on defensive mode. And I said to myself “Why do they even have that mode?” But it was in case of people who were dangerous :p

Story 2. That guy was in a irl fnaf. At least he got out before he got stuffed into a suit. Hold up those animatronics can't move off stage on their own like in fnaf. ......Call a priest that location is haunted. Also for that story about the local arcade machines getting filled with cec tokens is why alot of arcades and restaurants that have arcades in them switched to a card system. At least in my area. Put your money in the machine spits out a card you used to swipe at the games. Refillable too if you didn't want a new card every time. Although according to a friend of mine they had two incidents. One a parent tried to swipe their credit card and got pissed that it denied the transaction. Another when the system was being set up a rich kid drained his parents bank accounts in less than 20 minutes of play. They refuned it to avoid the lawyers but learned to not turn a new system on until the tech says finished.

My friend tried getting a job at one, but turns out it was good they didn't because they hired so many people nobody could actually get decent hours, I talked to one girl who only worked 2-4 hours a week and hated it

Chuck e cheese was my first job. Front dest checking people in you had to stand at the booth where both a front and back camera could see you at all times? Crouch down to stretch your legs? Nope, the only time you could leave the camera was on breaks that you couldn't track yourself because no watch or clock was available, or to be Chuck E. For a quick walk-around every half hour.

my "horror" story was that there was one time a homeless dude came in with his ass half exposed, stole pizza slices, and then started fighting with one of the managers and the cops were called.

The one saying men's restrooms are dirtier than women's was probably from a woman.. I mean, I would think that too - if I hadn't worked at a Wal-Mart supercenter for 2 years. Basically what they said about the men's restrooms is what I saw of the women's restrooms - the women's restrooms had bloody tampons and pads and splashes/drops of blood everywhere, massively soiled diapers everywhere, toilet paper strewn about, shit smeared everywhere, all sorts of horrors stuffed into the tampon trashcan, etc. - basically, everything _except_ for piss. And women want to give men crap about that - hell, y'all sit down on the toilet a few inches above the water to piss while we _stand_ above the toilet or urinal a couple of feet away - plus, that's how you aim when you piss with a penis - you have to just start pissing and adjust your stream and sometimes it's a little off to begin with - not to mention if you have a pube over your piss hole or you recently ejaculated - then the piss just fans out everywhere.. And yeah, the men's restrooms had piss everywhere and occasionally some jackass would get some shit on the seat or floor or whatever - but I _distinctly_ remember being shocked at how dirty the women's restrooms were as well as how much _dirtier_ they were than the men's... I mean, maybe it's because women often have little kids and they're distracted and make messes and/or the kids make messes or something, but nonetheless, I think a massive, gargantuan Wal-Mart supercenter is pretty representative and the women's restrooms were always infinitely dirtier.

bro got springlocked

Love how the thumbnail has a picture of Billybob from Showbiz instead of Chuck E Cheese

It's almost like every Chuck E. Cheese's has some kind of Curse of Madness that makes everyone lose any semblance of sense and start fighting each other like a bunch of Chimpanzees.

IDK if the Chuck E Cheese here is Alaska is better or not but I haven't really visited it for almost an entire decade & the most recent wasn't for me since I'm mid 20's almost but for my niece & nephew birthdays (date was so close they could just celebrate it together) they're pizza is as good as I remembered it but it was the around a similar time my father had heart & organ failure so I try not to think about the bad so much.

The guy who talked about chucky staring at cameras is just mad cap, he probably just said that for clout and "ooooo guys fnaf is real"

parents using chuck e cheese as a daycare are crazy... they do realize that once the staff realize a kid younger than 9 is there without an adult they are probably going to call CPS right?

This is one of the funniest videos I have watched recently.

I have a story,I don't know if you'll use but are free too I was working at an amusement park dressed up as a character, A mom got mad at me due to me not doing a show earlier than it was supposed to go on.She was yelling at me saying that I assaulted her and her kids which started kicking my shins. I try to calm the woman down but she shoves me to the ground and jumps on me breaking two ribs.

The animatronics got quirky at night

I get the guy who got his mouth cutted; i was on the chuck suit once and a dad pulled out the head off and in a swipe punched me on the face almost breaking my nose......i kept working on there for 3 months later until my store manager removed money from my paycheck because i helped repairing a screen/pc from a birthday private room

My mom hates that place cuz of all the noise from everything. we only went a few times luckily most of our friends and our own bdays were at the mini gold castle where they had pizza and arcades inside the place. I miss that castle soo much.

I actually currently work at one, and all of these sound about right(except for the banging part)

That sounds like the most entertaining job ever

“THE CHUCK E CHEESE ANIMATRONIC WAS IN THE ARCADE ROOM” Chuck e cheese:Bonnie mode activates

The one story about the animatronics moving at night is pretty fake, I'm a Five Nights at Freddy's fan and I knew when I heard that it sounded pretty stupid. First off, the animatronics are bolted to the ground to make sure they don't tip over, and if they weren't they didn't even have any legs, they were on wooden stilts making them impossible to move around. The animatronics also can't perform on their own, they need many people to control the several movements to the robot, and even if somehow it did activate, the amount of force needed to rip of the stage would be impossible, the animatronics don't use regular electric motors, instead they use small hydrologic presses to move and function on stage, meaning that the strongest force that they could possibly give would be equivalent to a small gust of wind. Don't believe everything you see on the internet kids.

1:54 💀Five Nights at Chuck's

I'm surprised I heard no creepy guy moments or pedophiles lurking around.

1:45 Mike Schmidt has a Reddit

I’m glad I only worked the after hours shift and just cleaned the kitchen and dishes.

The thing that scarried me the most in the fnaf movie was the little balloon boy

Where I live, a lady was shot(it was fatal) by another woman in the parking lot after they had been arguing while in the restaurant. OVER A GAME CARD with $10!! Lady got 10years in prison. I admit I had to double check for the details, it was 2 years ago.

I gotta go to Chuck E. Cheese at least once in my life, I don't care if people are going to stare at me cuz Im giggling uncontrollably barely breathing, I live in a country where we don't have Chuck E. Cheese and as a FNAF obsessed teenager I need to go there

This went from scary stories to just regular stories

It’s a thriller with a bit of comedy and a pinch of horror, if I saw those robots malfunction like that I would be scared for a second but I would think it’s cool after 2 seconds because *me is like robots*

Dude 80s chuck e cheese was a very different place i mean go watch any early 80s late 70s shows from there. Chuck was brutal, microphone in one hand cigar in another, he had a thick jersey accent, and he was rude as rude could be. Edit: a good example is the crusty and madame oink you only hurt the ones you love show

The chuck e animatronic watching the cameras kinda reminds me of something…

One of the last times I was at a Chuck E. Cheese, this girl started insulting Chuck E. and he started “crying” and putting his hands over his face. I really wanted to give him a hug or tell her to stop but ended up doing nothing and just watched it happen

Yeah, the FNaF movie was pretty good. On oct27, release date, everyone was super hyped so I had to watch it again at the important parts like matpats dialogue lol. But when Vanessa said “and his name is William Afton” everyone screamed so loud and so hard I couldn’t hear her say he was her dad, so when she was all, “dad I won’t let you kill em,” everyone screamed again. I think it woulda been better that way, honestly. Bonnie is funny Foxy sing Freddy laughs, was dat du bite of 87?!?!??!! Chica is cute but has sass 1000 Cupcake is a savage and has highest kill count, was dat du bite of eightycupcake?!?!!??

At 1:53, this is why I 't been to a Chuck E. Cheese for as long as I can remember. Now that I think about it, I don't think I've even ever BEEN to a Chuck E. Cheese...

I saw a Chucky walk by when I fell, and it looked like I was trying to break the game

i have seen the fnaf movie it does have some horror aspects to it but it also has a scene that is suppost to show that even though it has been many years since the ghost kids possessed the animatronics it still proves they are still kids inside but from what i hear in the stories here i would say the stories are scarier than the movie

Those stories are why scarier than the movie

So it seems like the costume room at chuck e cheese is LITERALLY like the safe room from FNAF, obviously without the blood and guts, I hope

Story two is litterally FnaF

man those chucky suits are the equivalent to springlocks

Man i was a kid in 1985 and then this yellow bunny person took us backstage and almost killed me and there were other children with me. they disappeared after a day and those animatronics didnt seem right...

I was hanging with my sis at chuck e cheese and i saw a anamatronic that was sitting on the floor staring into my soul.

The stories are WILD

That one where the guy saw the Chucky animatronic looking at the camera bro must’ve thought he was in fnaf

14:53 Bro got Spring-Locked

“I was getting chased by animatronics.” -Mike from CEC

One.time I was working overtime and heard crashing and I went to an employee only room and saw a "deactivated" chuck and a mess around them.

5:07 he told the story of the manager first fight but what about, THE KID WHO LOST A f⬛CKING EYE !

These stories are scarier than any fnaf game and the movie 💀

Our chuck e head had spiders. Our salad bar? Spiders. The candy/gift closet was the nap spot. Smoked blunts in the kitchen after hours. I’m barely 5’2 and on my first day had to do the birthday dance in the suit. I couldn’t even walk right because the shoes were so big, on top of my real shoes

lol all of this could have happen in Dayshift at Freddy's (a fnaf fangame). Especially kids being true demon and the ballpit thing. But I thought those cursed things like this would only happen in the game not irl😭

Sounds interesting, i wanna work at a chuck-e's now

The 12 story was just a spring locking in real life

I'd be willing to work at a CEC but wouldn't last because I think they should be run in a certain way, resulting in me butting heads with superiors. For example, if I were running a CEC, I would always have a character attendant with whomever was performing as Chuck e AT ALL TIMES.

“Um I didn’t really work at Chuck E. Chee-“ Fnaf community: 🤨

the 2nd one was just if the night guard in fnaf was smart

I am now forever feeling bad for cec employees

All these stories are making me realise just how painfully accurate Dayshift at Freddy's is. Minus all the kiddie stranglings.

I once found half a joint wedged in the seat of a booth and the bathroom reeked of weed. I also met my boyfriend of two years there so that’s a plus

The ballpit is the real nightmare

Not gonna lie, story about the tall guy in the rat costume nearly made me pee myself laughing.

the movie was the best movie ever, but the stories were a little scarier

14:50 the guy got sliced and bled in the suit. Then ran into the back room. Sounds familiar

1:46 “The animatronic characters here.. Do get a bit, QuIRkY at night“

1:48 instantly reminded me of fnaf
