The Horrific Remake of a Classic FNaF Series - DMuted 

Really appreciate the support. I'm really glad to hear all the theory's and perspectives. I probably should have included in the description, but yes I voiced bonnie, freddy, william afton, and fredbear. Also what if chica wasn't trying to kill the girl in the bathroom, but instead was warning her? That's one of my favorite scenes because the animatronics intentions can be bad or good, but you can never truly tell. Thank you again for supporting the series, and for supporting spectre. Really great video.

My biggest gripe with the fnaf series has always been how we never really got to see the animatronics be animatronics. I feel like the series would be 100x better if there were like, progressive scenes with them preforming and slowly degrade as each night passed.

I think the most terrifying thing about the Battington tapes is the fact he doesn't hold back on kids dying like fnaf does. Sure fnaf can say the children were murdered but to actually show the brutality of what happened to these kids sheds a new light on how horrific fnaf is.

I love how realistic Squimpus' VHS remake/Battington's VHS series is tbh; like how for example, the animatronics look to have huge CEC or ShowBiz Pizza design inspiration, and also how they never really rely on the jumpscare factor, and that it is mostly the Anticipation of the scare that gets me.

15:17 I'm seeing these videos for the first time, so Foxy suddenly disappearing came off as unintentionally hilarious because it just reminded me of memes where people voices were perfectly cut off with an echo. It doesn't help that before he disappeared, he lifted his head like he was shouting.

The Battington videos are so horrifying. They’re done so well, and I wonder if anyone will make a fan-game of them.

Actually seeing how someone would wear the springlocks really puts it into perspective on how dangerous and terrifying it must be to wear one. Like I know I would not have the guts to get inside one. With my luck it would lock up and it doesn't seem you have long to live once it happens. And that's assuming you'll be able to scream for help with all that pain and that someone would hear you and come in time (and like there's no way someone would be able to stay calm when they're in pain and dying).

it's so refreshing to see fnaf be actually scary. We can all agree fnaf has gone down a questionable path but the fanbase is truly one of the best

This is the direction I wish the games had gone in. Instead they went in the "children's horror" direction and overexplained everything until there was no room for your imagination to fill in the blanks. It's really unfortunate.

"We see golden freddy twitching violently" Freddy: *Playing the sickest bongo solo*

I’ve seen not many people talk about the bare plate endo crawling around scene. But from the few that I’ve seen do, the most popular theory is that this was the aftermath of the bite. When the Crying Child dies, he immediately gets trapped in the Fredbear endoskeleton/suit. And this scene is the first time we see him wake up in this state. The building sets up an evacuation alarm as the suit weakly crawls around, as if CC is trying to get used to it and actually understand what’s going on. He must be so confused and in such agony of suddenly being trapped that he tries to talk… but the only thing the robot allows to go out of his sound box is the happy birthday tune. And then, when CC sees the cameraman, he starts to get closer probably not to kill them, but to beg for help: that’s why he reaches his hand to him and finally let’s a horrendous scream. All we might be watching is the terrifying experience of the CC when he possesses an animatronic for the first time.

I think that from ep4 the bathroom, chica didn’t actually kill her, but scared her enough so afton could come “save her” because if we go off of the idea all the kids were taken in 10 minutes from foxy’s pre show and she noticed they were gone so afton had to do something extra to bring her to the back room lure her to the back room with music she likes then kill her there, and possessed chica due to it being something she just experienced

The chica restroom scene is absolutely perfect. This is everything I would ever want from these types of analogue VHS horror type videos. It's absolutely terrifying and has the atmosphere I expected security breach to have before release

i never noticed that detail at 10:50 it makes the whole video so much more unnerving knowing that afton was there the whole time

I'm grateful Battington stopped with the nonsensical jumpscares in every entry in H&H and went for a more psychological horror.

1:29 "It kinda is the grandfather of all these series." Actually that would be Junior0437 that would be the grandfather of FNAF VHS. Their first FNAF VHS video came out in December of 2016, and they stopped making videos sometime around 2019. I spoken to them last year, and they seemed to be doing fine. But yeah, Junior0437 started the FNAF VHS genre, Squimpus merely brought widespread attention towards it.

At 17:18 you can see Golden Freddy isn't just twitching violently... there is a purple cord going from the ceiling to his neck. Golden Freddy was hung to death.

wait, did people not like the performance of Foxy’s VA? bro, his voice acting is my favorite part of the Pirate Cove Pre-Show tape - his pirate laugh always makes me happy 😭

5:56 - A minor correction on the “No Movement for the Eyes” note, as a lot of people don’t really notice it without careful comparison: When the Employee/Camera Person moves to Test the eyes following the ears, Bonnie does in fact move. His eye lids perk up so his gaze is wide and alert, and his head is tilted ever so slightly to be staring lock-eyed directly into the Camera. The change however is so subtle that you would only really register it after staring at him long enough.

Your jokes helped break some of the tension, thanks. Battington truly is a master of horror, so it's hard to watch without peeing my pants lmao. Also great analysis! I never noticed the implications about Chica.

The reason why Bonnie doesn't move his ears and eyes in the test is because of a child being stuffed in it and can't move those parts. And Freddy trying to push open the door and repeating is similar to a child down to the mannerism, even down to gauging how to push open the door.

unironically i prefer the showbiz-like designs here over the weird segmented designs of the canonical animatronics. makes them feel more believable and real, y'know?

I remember loving FNaF when I was younger, and the main reason was how frightened it made me. I grew outta the series after a long time, and I came back and was instantly taken aback by how much things had changed. William Afton... Eternal life? What. I'm sorry, but I loved the simple storyline of "a serial killer targets a restaurant and kills kids who go on to possess the animatronics, and you must survive their wrath" and seeing them get freed at the end. It was scary, but a very human story about a tragedy, not distracted from with goofy merch and open world mechanics. It was treated sombrely and it felt *real*.

I think Chica’a eyes rolling back was due to the girl screaming. She didn’t get to kill the girl because the loud scream disrupted her sensors, thus making her have to get repaired. Just my theory tho.

That scene in the video with Bonnie Bun and Fredbear on stage has just stuck with me. It has such a feverish quality to it, with the music, the colors, the limited eyesight, the breathing. It’s such a nightmare scenario to be stuck performing to kids in this sweaty death trap of a suit, right next to a partner that probably isn’t even human. The way it stares seems almost mocking. Not to mention when the camera turns toward William. God, seeing a guy like that out of the crowd just staring at you and not even knowing what it entails or even being able to do anything about it. Not to mention, if the person in that suit suffered a springlock failure, all the kids watching the show would have to see.

With the Bonnie joint test, if you compare Bonnie's head from the Ear test and the Eye test, his head has shifted slightly. His eyes are wider and his jaw is opened slightly more, I think. It's either that, or he has shifted from looking at animatronic eye level to looking down at the camera. A subtle, but creepy effect.

i would absolutely love to see you analyze the squimpus vids- absolutely my favorite rendition of william afton, his confession tape still is absolutely stellar. great videos as always!

This series is always gonna be so cool, out of the 3 real FNAF VHS series I have seen this would probably be my least 2nd to favorite of them but it's still an incredible piece of work and super horrifying. And since my favorite part of the whole series was talked about for less than a minute I wanna point out how Fiberglass Bear's single scene is legitimate perfection! They made the happy birthday song terrifying and the scene is honestly kinda sad.

Freddy and the Mic Technician are both voiced by Battington himself, fun fact!

I really love how fnaf is nowadays, the more action based story and modern character designs I actually really enjoy and show how the world in lore progressed, but it's nice to go back and see this antique type horror, chilling man

The beauty of this is that unlike other analog horror tapes, it justifies its existence. This isn't a warning, this is a briefing. This is the puppet carrying out it's archangel job of showing Michael what he needs to do and why he needs to do it.

Jesus Christ, the William to toy Bonnie jumpscare genuinely made my stomach drop, well done battington 👏👏👏

Despite battingtons remake videos not really being that scary, they always have a lingering sense of unease and are really well made. Battington is a master of his craft and it shows

My all time favorite moment from this remake series is the part where the, for a lack of a better word, skinless Fredbear crawls around the pizzeria and calls out to Spring Bonnie. Just the way he pulls himself across the floor without his suit on and uses the 'Happy Birthday' song to communicate with Spring Bonnie all while a siren blares is genius and terrifying at the same time, and when I show that clip to friends they don't even notice that Fredbear is trying to find Spring Bonnie via audio-marco polo, and the fridge horror they experience when they realize that is just proof at how good Battington is at horror. It really sucks Scrimpus had to be a big sourpuss as always and tell Battington to stop with the remakes, because I would have loved to see his take on the video with the Crying Child and Charlie; given how great he remade the Pirate Cove Pre-show video.

A reminder that the ears in Bonnie's Repair Tape did not move, HOWEVER; the eyes did. If you replay it at least once you will see that the eyes are now looking at you. And after a few seconds, death finds.

Fun fact, in the original squimpus mcgrimpus chica scene. For a singular frame, theres a real dead bird shown. Bloodied, sleeping in the snow.

I love the overenthusiastic voice for Foxy he reminds me of Patchy the Pirate from spongebob

20:45 can we not talk about how there is blood in the eyes of the head

When the little girl started screaming, a whopper ad started playing

17:13 went from dead children to comedy gold quicker than Foxy ran down the hall

It’s kinda funny how Battington’s toy Bonnie’s eyebrows are slaying rn

The video really feels a lot more fresh than a lot of other videos covering this same topic, keep up the good work man love your content

Great stuff to watch at 3:00 AM.

Don't worry guys, Golden Freddy is just practicing his mini karate chops-

10:48 I never noticed that before, this adds a new level of horror to this scene I already found horrifying.

12:53 "I've gotta prep my singing voice" "Watchu know about rolling down in the deep"

17:14 should be the most used fnaf meme ever, i took the series seriously but this just made me laugh that i love it lmao

3:37 Cuts to an ad, truly terrifying

I'm so glad your videos keep leading me to such high quality horror content.

Bro I spent a minute trying to pause on stuffed Foxy, and then it was just shown to us.

It’s funny that squimpus got his own fnaf plus before Scott did

quick reminder to anyone that plans to make a robot themed restaurant. Make the Robots SOFT and small, no strings no strong jaws no strong hands cuz you gotta be able to stomp the shit out of them if they attack and hiding bodies in tiny robots is kinda difficult (no i dont have experience)

Man, Squimpus was so committed to his work that he became a monster in real life too

"Not a minute before, and not a minute later!" in that super enthusiastic high gain voice haunts me

I personally like the ending of squimpis's sound response check with the bird in the snow it really gave me chills

foxy in 144p is truly the most terrifying part

16:30 i am the master pauser. i paused at the EXACT right time to see yes, in the last frame foxy is indeed stuffed with the last little girl, no censor bar though he still has his chest. only detail was the popped out child's eye

I have always loved these kinds of borders like seriously I sneak under my blanket anytime but at this point I don't really care because this is so good!good job my man I hope you keep doing things like this!

I always saw this scene as the person who had the springlock failure running out of the room in pain and know that I saw this I realize it is more likely of it being an employee running to save him since the springlocks most likely broke his bones 22:22

I would’ve never thought the FNAF series would get even more scarier. Thanks for this video man, love the explanations!

I hope Battingtons next move is to somehow recreate the “Michael don’t leave me in here” video from Squimpus’s series bc I’d love to see their retelling

Weird thing happened a couple days ago when I watched the Foxy Pre Show episode. The moment Low Resolution Foxy gets overlayed with the message about the Tape being Prohibited from being seen, my right headphone sent like a static shock that started in the ear and ended at my nose. And I was just overcome with this feeling of impending doom for a few minutes. I'm not saying the tape is haunted, but damn that coincidence spooked me in the early hours of that morning. Lol

Your videos are so much higher quality than the sub count would suggest. Keep it up.

Shame squimpus turned out to be a massive creep

Being named Michael and a fan of fnaf means I'm closer to the lore than anyone else.

Battingtons animatronic designs look like a perfect blend of the fnaf animatronics and the real animatronics from the 80s

Holy moly. This was my first video from your channel and you have a nice way of doing analyzing scary stuff. Keep up the amazing work! I can’t wait to see some of your stuff

your videos are soooo good dude, really. all of these are so professionally written

Hoping the fnaf movie brings the same energy as these old vhs videos, I want true unnerving and creepy horror.

27:29 I agree as I think that although its very creepy and unerving the old animatronics are wayyyy to much, like I can kinda forgive the foxy design, but the rest, no way. As I feel that the design should be creepy and unintentionally scary. Like these things were designed to look kid friendly and wholesome.

I really appreciate these kinds of videos. You explain the video, while it’s playing in the background, every once in a while including the audio. Since I’m FAR TOO BABY to watch these on my own, these are a great experience to watch the videos without my paranoia and schizophrenia coming back heavily. You’re the best!!

Foxy: I want an audience. William: *Kills all of his audience* Foxy: WHAT THE ACTUAL MUCK????

It is worth mention that the fake eyes in the springlock guide tape rouling down has som scary implications for the child who was cought by chica. The fake eyes of a mascot head coming down once the springlocks are prepped implies that when those eyes rouled up into chica's head in chica's tape, someone's head was being crushed in there. You probability know who's head it was.

10:58 is where I'm at right now, but currently this video is really helpful when I don't wanna watch the actual videos because I'll get scared!

I do like this series but I think the whole remake stuff lowers it a bit for me. The highlights of the series for me are mostly the original stuff like the dissecting of the fredbear and bunny bun suits, the fredbear endo layer crawling in the halls, and of course the chica bathroom scene. But when it comes to the stuff being remade it doesn’t really add much for me. The Freddy and Bonnie tape’s don’t really add much for me to make me want to watch them over the originals even if the Bonnie one has a cool introduction to the fixing tape but in general for the Bonnie one it felt less scary than the original video. The chica bathroom scene is legit one of the best scenes from fan made Fnaf content but after that it ends up giving me the same feelings as the Freddy and Bonnie videos, I’m also still debating on whether the ending wear chicas face falls off was either either scarier or goofier than the original. The foxy tape has the mix of original and remake to wear it has the base of the original ( the repeating foxy clip, the children going missing one by one, hanging fredbear, and discard it immediately) but new scenes the preshow clip of foxy being rewritten and adding the rest of the gang with it. I do think at points it’s more effective than the original however it’s still not great since the preshow clip being shown is written to be longer and the repeating part kinda brings the tension down, like after the first child goes missing you know something’s gonna happen with the rest gang. Your right about that guess and the video just goes on, you already know what’s gonna happen from there and the most that’s gonna get you is the little chica scream. Sure we get the foxy peaking out of the cove and running down the hallway shot, and the dead kids by the end but other than being cool little additions there not really notable( and the dead children by the end and even the gore we do see break some of the subtlety from the original) The fredbear family dinner training tape and through out makes me really excited for the series since it’s original content meaning there no basis to go off of and you don’t know what to expect ( which is again a big problem with the main 4 gang tapes for me ) while the fredbear video does have the remake part by the last half, the whole starting half is just about completely original making it more unexpected and gives a lot of room for some new ideas, and plus the last being remade isn’t really about the scares so that helps a bit. I can’t say much about the springtrap and toy Bonnie tapes and I need to watch that last one In fact. But so far I love how he’s treating springtrap and the horror attraction so far. I feel like the series has a huge amount of potential from here on out ( I do hope that more subtley and less in your face horror is used here on out as well)

Holy muck these videos are so mucking good

Most underrated channel. Love the long videos

I’d honestly be down if you wanted to do one of these videos about harmony of horror, or any vhs series as a matter of fact.

Glad to see a lot of eyes are seeing this video. You make lotsa good stuff!

"Damn, he uploads and analyses vhs fnaf really well, hope he uploads so-"

I'm only a mild fan of the series, since I only got into it recently and only looked into 1-4, but you sold me on this fan project. I don't normally do fan-anything unless it's videos talking about things or one-off pictures drawn by fans, but this looks very good and you did a good job of selling it!

"We have a show in 10 MINUTES" is for some reason the funniest thing I've heard in a while

Great video! it was really smart to take a different approach to making a vid on baddingtons VHS series instead of doing the same as everyone else.

The battington tapes are probably some of the only horror content left on RU-vid that I still won’t watch in full screen, still creeps me out. Battington is an artisan

22:17 THANK YOU! I think you are the first person I've seen cover Battington's series that doesn't say this is William for some reason I don't understand.

I love analyses like this! Very fun video :)

"Foxy tells everybody to stop fucking around" - That caught me off guard and made me laugh super hard, thank you XD Great video as well, definitely subbing :D

Came here for the thumbnail, stayed here for the AWESOME video, nice job!

Why is it that every time I click on a FNAF video I get ads for Freddy’s Steakburgers

Chica is looking where she's supposed too, its just her looking to HER left and right

fnaf really set off an interest in old animatronics for me and i think thats why i love battingtons tapes! his redesigns are so reminiscent of those i love it. really adds to the horror too, they look so real!

w hollow knight music in the background-it’s a great analysis too! thanks bro

the chica jumpscare thing in the 4th tape got cut off by a tmobile add and i have never laughed more in my life

i wasnt expecting afton's actual face so close i almost peed myself

Holy hell, I had no idea there was a ghost boy during the maintenance video and I’ve watched both Squimpus and Battington’s videos several times. Wow.

man i never noticed the yellow bunny ears behind chica in that one vid

This was scary. I’ll just go back to staying hydrated.

The chica scene felt more like she was telling to kid to leave as it was not safe, but the fact the kid got so scared of chica her screams were so loud they blasted the sensors that list her hear

The fact that I watched these tapes in the wrong order and still came to the right conclusion is kinda surprising

WTF I've watched the sound response test video like 6 or 7 times by now, and never had I noticed the rabbit ears in the background during the stall sequence. What a cool detail!
