How To Make FNAF Terrifying Again | Afton Archives: A Five Nights At Freddy's Analog Horror Series 

Ps: The 1995 timeline issue really is a mess due to my own mistakes. Flip the recording dates of the phone guy video and William's death around. Last note: Most of the videos actually feature Mike behind the camera, and there is a reason for that, which not only makes sense of the Sister Location video, but also is something hinted/referred to a few times during the series.

Nice vhs tape collection!

The only issue I had was trying to figure out how the 1995 tape fit with the timeline but that’s such a small thing compared to the whole thing being such an amazing series! With the Micheal thing, that was just my own theory on who could be recording since there was always a jumpscare at the end and just assumed that meant that it was an extra who was attacked, not that whoever we were looking through somehow got away. Definitely good to know to understand things better 👍 Really enjoying a lot of your works and can’t wait to see what else you have going on for future projects (already obsessed with the backrooms series as well)

@@insomniacloserxo Much appreciated🙌Keep up the good work!

Crossover comment moment.

I dont remember having to watch any videos like that when I was hired lol

@@squidwardthedankest6642 I got hired like a month ago, spent three hours watching a fuck ton of videos bout the company, it’s history, not bringing up the old Chuck e, general work stuff. Was annoying as hell.

Lmao, well good luck getting shoved into the rat suit lol

@@squidwardthedankest6642 lmao im actually not allowed to wear the rat. My glasses are too bulky to fit inside the suit and im incredibly near sighted so would be at a risk of kicking a child due to not being able to see two feet in front of me without my glasses.

I work at KFC and they put the commercial of the muscular guy dressed as Colonel Sanders in my training tapes

they should’ve given him a valley girl accent

He's no longer British in modern fnaf, they unfortunately retconned that aspect of him (Security Breach and movie) but he will forever remain British in my heart

it's so funny to me bc FNAF is canonically set in America so everyone has American accents, and then there's William and his kids and they're all British as fuck

@@chocomelo454 the only bad people in FNAF are british and i find that funny

@@ketomine. how dare you crying child did nothing wrong

👏

That handclap sounds like verification

You can even hear the freddy voice sounding out his name like a kid would; "mic-mic-mic-mic-mic... ah-ah-ahfton... AFTON!" His eye only turning red when he figures out the name.

Yeeeesss !!! I don’t know why people don’t point that out accidentally stole your comment btw

I noticed the same thing! Went and looked up the vine right after just to make sure lol. Makes it so much more uncanny in my opinion, made my heart drop a little

that was the first thing i noticed when watching the original tapes

Aye, however it was a fitting end- I like to imagine he fought William ngl

I like to think it was Willy screaming, even if it's against logic 😢

I'm scared to see what happens now-

I think it’s ok to give the main characters backstory, as long as it doesn’t take away from the main story. I like the familial aspect of the story as it gives weight to Mike’s actions as he tries to stop his father. I just with the animatronics were also important to the story, either being a separate party fighting against william, or with Michael.

@@Seba12322 it is. And having backstories to characters is the important. However too much backstory kills the characters. If one character is everything and everyone at the same time. He looses credibility. This is exactly what happened to William Afton. He started as a shadow, so to speak, a background character who's actions and the consequences they caused plagued the entire storyline. Always represented as a purple in the minigames, as this specific color choice was specificaly used to mask his identity. We never actually meet him. Never. His identity was to remain a mystery, a puzzle we needed to complete, the possible awnser being the Phoneguy, who we also never see. The Killer's motivations? Thrill and pleasure. The pleasure to inflict pain on poor souls who he had probably choosed because childrens are easier targets. And when we finally do meet the man that started it all, it's in an all out battle for survivial, against his decayed remains trapped in a suit. There where never any plans to go any further with Purple guy. And this shows, as the name "Afton" comes from the books. The first one really is the only official media out of the entire series who depicted Afton as a believable serial killer. But as more of the story was reworked and major plot points got redconned. He couldn't just be a serial killer. He couldn't just be the co-fondator of Freddy's. No... he had to be more, he had to be everything: a mad scientist, a genius, a virus, a family man, a god... he couldn't just be the unknown serial killer who's actions caused everyone to suffer, only to face his crimes and wear a springlock grave alone, wich may I remind you, was originaly conceived as his punishment for all he had done. He shouldn't be happy to be Springtrap. He should be enraged and violent, while retaining his sneakier approch, as seen in fnaf 3. A lot of other characters suffer from the same problems: they become popular, then brought back without understanding what made them work in the first place. Look at Ennard or Circus Baby, and what was done with them as time went on.... The puppet had it the worse, it's entire role as the Puppeteer who gives the childrens the gift of life and then gides them to theirs revenge was entirely dropped in favor of being Henry's sole reason to exist.... Mike is surpringly the one guy who we don't know much about. And it's great! But it should have been the same for the others too.

@@Pygargue00fr I think Afton is a great example of how to ruin a fantastic villain. In William's case he suffers from what I call a "Overfilled Cup" you put too much in it, it spills however some people still drink from the cup anyway. I do admit though, there are some things added to William that give his character tons of more intrigue and interest. Some parts are more interesting than others. For example I find Glitchtrap to be an insanely interesting character and concept. I do think with characters such as Ennard, Baby, and Puppet they don't suffer from being brought back almost at all. Ennard's reappearance as Molten Freddy doesn't really add and or take away from his character. It does give him more personality by being pretty much insane. Circus Baby to Scrap Baby mostly adds. It seems a huge shift in Circus Baby's personality. She's not pretending anymore; she is now doing things for her father William. Puppet I think fully adds on, being brought back at the end to be finished off I think works very well. I think Henry could've had other reasons to be in the universes story- though in massively different ways. In the case of Security Breach's "Tangle" or "Blob" is definitely a character that I think could mess up other characters... though that is something we have to wait for - for now. It's always good to give your characters a backstory, and like you said there comes a point to where you give them too much backstory. It definitely feels like much- but it makes Afton's character more complex in good ways and frustrating ways. All in all though, Afton was a great character that managed to be ruined possibly due to fame, and also overwritten with their past. However there are multiple ways to fix that, and or efficiently display said character's multiple qualities.

​@@V01X3This is why I like the mimic, finally new thing

No, the problem is not the backstory. It's the way it was handled. Without backstories we would have nothing to talk about. That's why the Memories tape is interesting.

I need to know the title of that video

​@@knnl1850same

Funny part was I looked up that video after seeing this just before that scream😂

This. The original series may have been popular with children, but that was never the goal. Security Breach on the other hand...

@@noodleman4555 SB was just a victim of rushed development.

@@Jedi-ge6lr It was a victim of over ambition and a lack of clear direction, they had more than enough development time than what Scott initially gave them for the game he wanted them to actually make in the end, which is not what they did. The game was doomed to be bad from the beginning and steel wool simply were not able to properly handle the task. Scott himself put it best when he said that they kept making the cake bigger and bigger instead of baking it. It went well beyond the scope he actually wanted it to be and that resulted in disaster.

@@noodleman4555 I still love SB though.

@@Jedi-ge6lr That's fine, more power to you. I don't personally think it's a very good game though.

To quote OSP: people don't really want story worlds to be realistic, they want them to be CONVINCING.

fnaf went from a simple game with a vague story to one that shapes the community… with a vague story 😂 (in all seriousness though, the fnaf community is really incredible, even the small fan game show how much this series means to people)

That is William. He dismantled the animatronics as you can see their remains.

Hi swaggy

God I remember this guy from doing Doctor who Content to FNAF VHS Content he's come along way 🙏 🙌

Also explains why all of them say "it's him" since it's said multiple times that Michael looks very similar to his father

I mean they are though

They are tho lol

@@tobysinbad They aren't. They're kid FRIENDLY but the target audience was NOT children. It was teens and up. Just because children liked it doesn't mean it was intended for them Scott even said FNAF was never created for children..It wasn't the target audience he had in mind. Not everything needs sex and gore to be considered teen and up..something can be child friendly yet not be made for children but older audiences.

I just hate when he does the voice thing

Minaxa better

@@magicman3163 what voice thing?

Hi

@@sokwubz567 he does random soyjak Redditor noises

He he he ha

That is William. You can hear a different tape where Henry talks and he sounds different.

Jeez finally someone that mentions it. My entire body got degloved from hearing this and he does it multiple times in the video 💀

Wrong,she died way before fnaf 2,courtesy of the minigames and the whole possesing thing wouldn't be possible if she wasn't already around to give life to them

I wonder about that. Since Michael looks so much like William it's triggering to the kids, and they don't know exactly which man killed them for a while, it would be interesting to see the reaction to a female night guard. Depending on who makes hiring choices (like Steve Raglan from the movie), Afton may or may not have power over hiring in that position.

It wasn't rated R or anything, lmao

@@1Tombb Something doesn't have to be rated R to not be intended for children..That's horrible logic. Not everything needs gore and uncensored sex just to be listed as "intended for teens and up"..I'd consider quite a few card games not for children, as the strategy needed to play them is above what children can do. Scott said himself when making FNAF he was intending it to be for children, he didn't even know kids would play them or enjoy them.

@@testerwulf3357 I mean ok. Everything you said is what I already perceive
