If you know of a creepy internet mystery or webseries that you’d like to submit, feel free to send it to my email at NightmareExpo@gmail.com :) PS- wow, it’s pretty dark here?
Do you think the whole "The rabbit is starving" thing came from the fact that Bon obviously left Susan alive for a time being after he paralyzed her and she quite literally starved to death in the animatronic? That's like the only reason I could think for that being in there
that's gotta suck that she ends up somehow surviving a gruesome fate at the hands of an animatronic that clearly easily overpowered her only to still die anyways of starvation
Yea that part killed it for me, not only that but a real crew would have taken out a set of work lights to work in, not shitty flashlights. That was done so that you couldn't see the animated doll through the shitty dark and pixelated footage. Faker than the Blair Witch project.
The worst is undoubtedly that NONE of the victims died immediately. They were left paralyzed and screaming for days until they died inside the animatronic suits
@@beetle1516 probably not because the restaurant closed because people could hear " a woman screaming for days". I have a feeling that Bon ripped her arms and legs off tho (which is why Sha says "but on the inside i feel like every part of my body is bleeding out")
Also Sophie: I know these cutscenes have in depth lore on how my co-workers and family died brutally but honestly I’m just trying to get a sub 1:00:00 for WR pace so can you please go a little bit faster 😐
I’ve speculated that she’s his sister and since they’re supposed to be kids in that clip, either she wasn’t “born” yet or she’s just his annoying little sister and he doesn’t want to invite her
the kind of horror used in this series is the type that REALLY gets to me. weird voices, uncanny valley faces, spooky sounds, that's all the stuff that actually scares me.
it's the faces that gets to me so goddamn much. they aren't even portrayed in a jumpscare sort of way, but god i cannot stand them. they're so unsettling and uncomfortable to stare at. it's crazy how effective the horror in this series is.
if i was offered a job and they were like “yeah just go out into an isolated forest at some ungodly hour to check up on some creepy old animatronics and make them move around” i’d be resigning right there not saying
@@vanilla5643 I thought that her message was either before or shortly after she was put into the animatronic, therefore not yet giving her enough time to starve unless her stomach was already ruined. I just figured since Rosie was dismembered before being put in Sha, it'd make sense if Susan had things removed/cut down to size as well in order to fit into the Banny animatronic. Banny seems to have a pretty small waist, after all. I could be wrong tho
@@cet1r1z1ne possible but unlikely. Remember that the animatronics are quite large compared to a person and it seems that rosemary is a bit shorter than average. she would fit with minimal damage. That's likely why nobody could find her body, it was completely hidden in the SHA animatronic. Could be wrong but it's just speculation based on what we see and what is known in reality.
@@kronosbach5263 have you ever heard of SCP-2781 "What Comes After"? It tackles a very similar concept to what you have just described, if you want more of it
@@lordtoademort8124 Yeah I know about that SCP, and skincrawling as it is, being stuffed in a movable animatronic suit and being able to still use your dead body is stilll a fun concept, and horricly entertaining
The photo in tape 1 of the founders feels so uncanny because their faces don’t look like they’re attached to a neck, just faced photoshopped on top of bodies.
I definitely feel like it's an intentional decision by the creator to make it look like Felix just took a photo of himself and a picture of Jack and cut out their faces to stick onto another photo that he just found.
the background is all white, its definitely faked. im just thinking "why would a photo like that be faked." youd imagine them in front of a wall or by desks or in some kind of workshop for the animatronics right? so the stock background is whats throwing me off. its not "is it faked," its "WHY is it faked." at least in my mind.
@@omni0414 I'm thinking Jack was dead by the time Felix needed a photo, or at least was already not on talking terms with Felix due to the drunk driving killing his kids incident. Probably didn't think about having one taken together and then when he needed one it was too late for the real thing.
@@rambbler i agree with that, but i really dont think jack died. we know for certain he went MISSING, but saying he died just feels off. also i just finished the video since ive never heard of these and oh my god its so cool
I know everyone likes to laugh at Sophie’s ridiculous fear tolerance, but I also think it has something to do with the pills. Either she convinces herself the things she’s seeing are her hallucinations, or they make her forget (specifically things related to her trauma) which explains the 180 in her mood the next day.
I actually think that's one of the main problems with this series - the way the dialogue is written everyone speaks exactly the same and in too much detail for it to sound remotely natural I'm not an expert so I can't really explain it properly but a lot of the word choices are odd for spoken dialogue
My personal guess is that the pills suppress emotions, and she's being shown these so she can associate this memories with just a scary event and no parental ties to these events so she can't really feel any anger or hatred towards Felix.
Fr like they really heard “oh yeah go fix these old musty animatronics in a dingy abandoned bunker hidden in a forest but do it specifically at night and stay over” and thought it was a perfectly good idea 🤨 you couldn’t pay me any amount of money to put foot near there in the middle of the day, yet alone offer me 8$ overtime for a psycho robot bunny sleep over special.
This reminds me of the guy and girl who were making a video for one of their classes. They made it to look like a guy had kidnapped a girl, with a quick flash of her tied to a toilet screaming. It was so well done it went viral and opened up a full on investigation. Only to find that the students had done an amazing job of making it look real.
@@chuucake Either my other comment got deleted or I'm just not seeing it, but I had left one before the FBI comment. I was saying that Lonelygirl15 is an interesting case study as well, but the video I was talking about is super creepy. My comment might have got removed because I named it, it's called "Hi Walt3R." Just change that last word to the name that sounds most similar to it.
A different situation but a situation like this happened near my town! A small independent film production was going on near us and the girl pretending to be kidnapped posted her tied up+in her makeup to Snapchat and a dude states away called the police because he thought it was real
@@fkn0t577 He supports right wing political figures. I guess that makes me a "tard" for not liking people who support politicians that are hard right wing assholes.

I find a distorted faces creepy, but I find dying alone and screaming from unimaginable pain for a hours without being heard and found is just the most horrific thing in the world
It’s a very small detail I just noticed, in the video game, every character possessed sounds like they are full of life, whilst the random Horse Character sounds like she is reading off a script. Was very nice little touch on how messed up the game is
I've always felt that Felix is a coward and that is the catalyst for his actions. He hid the bodies because he feared the repercussions. I wouldn't be surprised if he killed Jack after Jack found out about his kids, hid his body in Bon, and thus began the cycle of death. Jack is most likely putting his face in videos as a threat to Felix and is killing his family as a means of letting them join him (or he may not be totally aware of what's happened and has good intentions behind making them "beautiful"). Either way, Bon is coming for Sophie and Felix. Just my opinion, love this story.
My exact thoughts while watching this! Can always count on you for a good take. My only deviation is that Jack may be doing the killing instead, with Felix facilitating it to ‘feed’ Jack or give him company (the ‘rabbit is starving’ line made me wonder if there is a cannibalistic component in keeping these animatronics ‘alive’).
I think its more of a programming versus Jack kind of thing, as in Bon's programming is to get the Walten family and Jack is stuck inside him along for the ride unable to stop it.
That reminds me of the time Spartan had their soldiers count bricks in the wall of enemy fort to guess how tall the walls are. Having 100s of men counting and average them out was pretty accurate so yeah, having 1000s of redditor to see what the words are is pretty acurate
For the first time ever, the youtube ads were somewhat relieving. I didn't realise I was holding my breath until Kendall Jenner told me to check out her new collection.
I love how this series evolves from straight up horror and mystery to still straight up horror and mystery, but with an exploration of how alcoholism and trauma can destroy lives.
The fact that the victims were still alive after each attack and left to slowly die inside the suits, paralysed and starving with no one to hear their screams, is the most horrific thing about this series in my opinion. I honestly think Rosemary getting dismembered was probably the “nicest” death out of all of them, because at least she probably died relatively quickly.
She was definitely alive for a while. Until blood loss became her cause of death. But she must’ve felt how she was being cut into pieces for at least a few minutes. But I get what you mean, better to suffer a little than to suffer a lot.
I have long since headcanoned that when she got to the afterlife, she was aghast at her own death and traumatised, whilst Susan just glared at her. (Also, is it significant that Walten’s wife got the quickest death? Affection for her, perhaps)???
@@kiera6326 Rosemary’s death was the quickest, yeah, but that doesn’t mean she had it the nicest. Her attack is probably the worst one as others were mangled/beaten to death, while she was literally torn to pieces. But then again if the theory that Bon is Jack is true, his “affection” has been really fucked up.
@@Ravonaa Yeah. It’s really quite difficult to argue who had it worse since the way they die can be at times drastically different. I suppose if just depends on what resonates most with the viewer. I suppose it could be argued that Ashley had it the worst too, since it was her face that was ripped apart which is more sensitive than anywhere else in your body especially your eyes, and she lost both of hers. Regardless I think the fact that they’re trapped perpetually in this state of incomprehensible pain after their death is really the worst thing about the entire thing
That's the thing about this series. It doesn't really jumpscare you or try to have any "boo!" moments. It manages to be terrifying without any of those, relying on suspense and horrific graphics alone. This is the first time I've been scared by something like this in a LONG time.
@@pinkgorl9074 yeah it's use of sound and haunting visuals is just so amazingly done. It does have moments where things are sudden, but it's never in your face and loud like a typical jumpscare. It's just so cool how it's able to do that.
Idk why, but the sequence with the letters by Felix's wife was pretty scary. The way her voice tone changes throughout is great. She starts out happy and enthusiastic, then progressively worried, then defeated.
Interesting observation: Brian, Susan, Ashley and Rosemary seem to get killed right after they shine their flashlights at Bon, who reacted violently to the light. On the second tape, Sha told us not to use flashlights near robots, so this should be connected
This is something I've noticed but I've never seen anyone point out. Considering the end of tape three mixed with the scene of Sha covered in blood screaming, I feel like I can assume Jack is alive, like Rosemary, and has been forced to watch as he kills people with his own hands, and be unable to stop himself. I think the scene at the end of tape three is when he finally is back in control and is realizing what he did to his wife, right in front of his child as well.
I find it ironic that Susan Woodings. probably the smartest one of the group(the Bons burger staff) Is trapped in Banny. Who is probably the dumbest one of the group(The animal characters)
I think a massive part of Susan’s suffering lies in her humiliation. As well as being the smartest, she’s probably also physically the strongest, and therefore maintains a bit of muscle which she’d take pride in i.e: “The MIGHTY rabbit needs to get out.” To then starve to death, and be forced to waste away into nothingness whilst being trapped inside a machine SHE built and knows all of the inner workings of as well as manually put it together and be locked inside a goddamn room, and literally all she needs to do is open the door, would be pretty sore for her. I think Bon and Banny’s relationship is possibly indicative of Jack and Susan’s relationship in general. I headcanon that they don’t like each other.
@@kiera6326 I love that theory, and it makes so much sense! It's certainly more than simply dramatic irony that the brains behind the animatronics would be forced into the dumbest one by her employer and murderer. There had to have been jealousy or spite behind the murder. I have a feeling that Felix felt perpetually inferior in the business he had opened with Jack. (Cuz iirc he was just tagging along with Jack as a partner and Jack was the one who really wanted the business.) And I think he took out that frustration on Susan when her knowledge allowed her to see through his attempts to cover his tracks.
@@colorblockpoprocks6973 YES that definitely resonates! Felix’s inferiority in general seems to be what makes him an awful person. His vulnerability is something to pity, especially with the ear lack of help he was given during his alcoholism, but the cowardice that shines through as a result of that really makes me hate him, even if he’s not necessarily as villainous as people like to see him, and it’s pretty understandable why he reacted the way he did after such a gigantic mistake. But once he’s passed that stage and knows he has all the chess pieces in his hands, he’s pretty much God of BSI, especially with Jack gone. You would never survive with Felix as your employer. He’d be like Scrooge (interestingly enough) behind a friendly and honest front. And that makes him hate-able. It’s also worth thinking about how much Susan especially would have pissed him off. She was a goner anyway whether she did or she didn’t, but he couldn’t fire her, as she possibly had some rights to the animatronics and that could result in a whole legal battle and attention brought to the animatronics that he had to avoid. He also _couldn’t_ fire her in a way that wouldn’t make her laugh in his face- what other engineer could build machines like that in 1974. She’s irreplaceable, and I think he possibly only realised that after she was gone. The idea to open a new restaurant was in my opinion, a front, as they had nobody to build animatronics like before, and it was the most convenient way to keep the facility caretakers for asking questions about their job. I think Jack and Felix probably resented Susan because of her ability to do the thing that kept them from achieving what they’d wanted for so long- building the damn things. Some of it might have been 70s misogyny. Maybe homophobia. Maybe it’s the competitiveness between them. All of it’s speculation though, there absolutely no canon basis for it. But oh yeah, her death was personal. Regardless of which one of them was actually responsible for it. When you also think about the shadow man being present, watching Rosemary get stuffed etc… you can’t tell me he also wasn’t watching Susan, through a camera maybe, just to make sure she was actually still there and would know when she was dead. I also refuse to believe that there just weren’t any shows with Banny over the next few weeks either. You can just imagine the awful, jerky movements, the panic on stage with all the kids laughing. “The rabbit needs to get the manager’s attention,” is one of the most chilling lines imo
Rewatching this video, I'm getting the feeling that The Walten Files is going for an overarching theme of trauma and memories. Felix succumbs to alcoholism, admits to having trouble remembering past events relating to it, and later tries to purge any trace of Jack Walten from the company's history--possibly in an attempt to suppress his own trauma tied to the Walten family. Sophie has had her memories suppressed by pills (possibly thanks to Felix's influence), but an unknown force is actively trying to get her to remember.It's implied that this will be key to her putting an end to all this death, or at least saving her own life. I think by the end, we'll be getting a message about how trying to suppress and forget the past will only hurt you in the long run, and that properly moving on is the key to true healing.
the thing about felix is that initially (we assume) he felt so horrible (as per GUILTY) and was a victim of his own circumstances and did not intend to kill edd & molly. Him being a pathetic loser rather than another malicious smart villain is so much more compelling and humanely believable, because hiding from his own mistakes and running away from accountability just is something that is more likely to happen with people than a homicidal thirst for blood. idk thats my opinion, and i really hope that felix is not a william afton 2.0
I think this could definitely be a case of the cover up being worse than the crime though, making it necessary for him to silence people to hide his guilt
"Wouldn't it be funny if I opened the cage? I think it would be really funny if I opened the cage!" By far the best voice acting in the entire series. Making me break out laughing in such a tense situation is such a great accomplishment.
It doesn’t matter how many times I watch the Walten files, it never fails to make me uncomfortable. The story sticks with me and the imagery always creeps me out and leaves me hesitant to turn a corner when I’m finished. This is such a great example of a perfect horror story to me. I can’t help but thank the creator for creating something so effective for me
Ashley literally started acting like she was playing a horror puzzle game like "oh a tape let's go put that in the creepy skeleton that I just said I wasn't going to go near" like it's the 70s do you not have a cassette player at home.
But then again it was night, she probably thought she shouldn't go home in the middle of the night and during the search(? cant remember the word) in K-9. She saw a tape and something that would play it at the time, her own curiosity killed her tbh
At this point I'm convinced horror genre characters don't have any horror movies in their world, and yet Ashley's coworker mentions Texas Chainsaw Massacre so Ashley, honey, no.
as someone who is Hard of Hearing i RLLY RLLY appreciate the proper captioning especially with such a long video thank u so much!! it makes it so much easier to enjoy the video!!
Same with me! I'm fully unable to hear and even if I can't experience the "disorted sounds" at least I can watch the video at all. I appreciate it just as much as you do.
I'm willing to bet that the silhouette that appears next to the employees only door after Rosemary gets shoved into Sha is Sophie, who was the caretaker at the time (possibly to investigate her father's old company to find out what happened to him). I don't think she lured her mother backstage: it was just a coincidence that she walked in at that time. It was probably Bon, and Rosie was probably a nickname Jack gave to Rosemary. Sophie likely stumbled onto Bon stuffing her mother's dismembered corpse into Sha (edit: either that or she actively witnessed the murder, and "Sophie, where am I" were Rosemary's last words before she was killed), traumatizing her so bad that someone gave her pills that help her forget that, the deaths of her siblings, and her father's disappearance. A psychiatrist, or maybe Kranken. A psychiatrist hired by Kranken? Whoever it was, they decided that her forgetting everything was the best solution. Bunnyfarm seems to be the result of either her siblings or Rosemary intentionally trying to make her remember. Maybe they want vengeance and she's the only way they can get it.
My interpretation is moreso that she's tangentially involved in creating the circumstances of the deaths: so she was the one who spoke but out of excitement, only to see her mother torn to pieces and put into an animatronic and being compelled to clean up afterwards because it's pretty much a given that she's never going to be believed. "I know where he is!" and "I made them Beautiful. I don't know how, but I did," are probably quite literal in their original context, but through the framing we're shown and her own issues with feelings of personal guilt, vague recollection of the events themselves, and the proximity to each of the original victims, they're twisted to confirm her feelings of survivors guilt.
One thing I'll mention, is it probably wasn't Jack who lured Rosemary into the back given that, in the phone call, he calls her "Rose", not "Rosie". My current theory, is Felix reprogrammed Bon to be aggressive to the people he believes would know too much or want to investigate the disappearances. Jack obviously was the one who knew that Ed and Molly were with Felix. Susan would likely know something was wrong with the animatronics, and could even discover one of the bodies, if she tried to tinker with them. We don't really know much about Charles, so it's hard to say what he would have known. Rosemary was looking into her husband's disappearance (though why she wasn't worried about her kids is interesting), and then Sophie likely witnessed her mom's death, or maybe found her mom's body in Sha. It's possible, since the people communicate through the animatronics given the mention of Ashley still screaming from inside Billy, that Sha said "Sophie, where am I?" to her, and that lead to Sophie investigating further, which lead to the traumatic discovery.
Might be looking into scary visuals too much but I recently learned that when police sketches are made for missing persons, they exaggerate features and make them uncanny because it triggers something in our mind that makes it more rememberable in our mind that allows us to better retroactively remember seeing the unaltered face or remember the poster in the future
Yeah, that's true and it's why police sketches of missing persons freak me out so much 😐 I always reference this one girl any time someone brings this up, and I can't ever remember what her name is... but anyway in the police "sketch" of her (pretty sure it's not a hand drawn sketch but rather like a computer... drawn... image? I'm sorry I have no idea what to call it) they made her look _so scary_ - at least to me. They like _reeaaally_ narrowed her face / mouth area and purposely made her look like a chipmunk because (like you said) they were exaggerating how she actually looked irl; and it worked, she was eventually found but sadly she was already dead I believe when they finally found her... 😢 Like I said, I can't remember her name... she's been in a few videos about this topic (off hand I remember she's in a Lazy Masquerade video on this subject) - but I'm sure you could find it if you *really* wanted. Irl, I remember she was blonde and pretty young like maybe early 20's or so... but that police sketch picture though 😱 it's just so damn scary 😭 Sorry for the long reply 🙂
@@justinburchette Are you talking about Jenny Gamez? She wasn't missing, but someone who was found deceased and couldn't be identified at the time. The uncanny thing made me think of Jason Callahan. I watched the Robert Stack Unsolved Mysteries series as a kid and his original composite haunted me up until a few years before he was identified, and I wouldn't be surprised if the uncanny nature of that composite is what led to his eventual identification. In the years prior to when he was identified, I saw a lot of forums and chat boards where his case would pop up just because it stuck out in people's minds. And eventually someone recognized him, and within a year or two, he got his name back. The uncanny sketches, at least in terms of does, does seem to work in some capacity.
@@justinburchette wait are you talking about the Jenny Gamez police sketch?? I remember this one sticking out to me too. Along with the Zodiac Killer Drawing. They’re so spine chilling.
*Edit to my previous post:* I broke down and looked up the video because I felt bad for not remembering her name... which is Jenny Gamez (spelled according to the videos subtitles.) She was from Cottage Grove, Oregon- and she was only 19 years old when she was murdered 😔 I'm gonna give some more information now, just in case anyone is interested (or maybe just curious) about her case. *Warning:* Do *not* read the rest of this if you are sensitive to- or just would rather not hear about- horrible acts of violence against women; just a fair warning (also this is _really_ long... so, yeah, I'm sorry about that 😐) ~ She was actually the first of *two* bodies that the police found stuffed inside a suitcase (to clarify, that is two *separate* suitcases- each containing *one* body- found on two *separate* occasions) along a highway in Wisconsin; both were female. Only half of her was inside, and she was terribly decomposed... that's so sad 😔 The reconstruction image- creepy as it is- was actually enough to be noticed by her foster mother; and so that, along with her dental records, is how she was *finally* identified- over a year after her murder. The other victims name is Laura Simonson- 37 years old, from Farmington, Minnesota. As far as I know, Laura was *not* a Jane Doe like Jenny was; apparently, the police were able to identify Laura fairly quickly. Steven Zelich, a former cop (😒), was found guilty of their murders. I believe he was sentenced to life w/o the possibility of parole. ~ Sorry for the novel length comment lol. There is obviously more detail to her story (as well as some other Missing Persons cases) in the video- so I would encourage anyone who is interested to give it a watch & go from there! 🙂 *Source:* Lazy Masquerade: "4 Shocking & Disturbing Mysteries, SOLVED AT LAST!" (her case begins @ around 07:57)
Ashley's death really seemed to have awoken some sort of primal fear in me. The audio of the screaming was disturbing enough, until it got to the point where it described how her coworkers left, assuming she already had, without realizing she was being murdered in the same building at that same time. And while being murdered by a possessed animatronic rabbit is unlikely, the realization that Ashley's scenario happens very often with victims of human murderers, made me close and lock my window and draw the curtains closed in the middle of summer.
I kept relistening to the description. I couldn't get over how terrifying it was. And I just had to make it sound like noise so I didn't think too much about it.
random fact, but the fnaf restaurants exist in the walten's universe. it's just a normal restaurant tho lol. like literally nothing happened there, Its just basically chuckecheese.
Martin took all of the best parts of FNAF and made a cohesive story that actually is even more unnerving and never loses its horror. This story is about how a cowardly alcoholic friend couldn't admit his worst mistake to his friend and instead chose to murder almost everyone involved. This is about a girl who lost her family and witnessed the death of her murder and can only cope by being drugged out of her mind. I really hope Sophie makes it out alive. I'm hoping the animatronics all these victims have been put inside are able to kill Felix. I hope Sophie's girlfriend isn't harmed. I'm definitely nervous for what's to come but I'm hoping the storyline stays consistent because I think it's excellent so far.
I think matpat said ir best in his video covering thus series: This isn't a story about animatronics, but a story about broken people which is why this series is so good
The artstyle really hits home. Just enough detail to give you an idea, but your imagination makes up for the lost detail. Its so fukin creepy I love it
Honestly I feel like if this series was pretty realistic looking, like most of the fnaf games, that’d it’d lose some of what makes it scary. Just imagining what some of this would look like in real life is scarier than actually seeing it, at least in my opinion
@@loseeraleeert2444 I feel like realistic animatronic horror can be done right, as long as you make the audience feel like it's real and make the audience feel unsafe. However the fnaf designs are far too friendly (personally I exclude Chica from this) or trying too hard to be scary (i.e. the nightmare animatronics), and the Walten Files animatronics look way too unfriendly to reasonably be used around children
The fact that Bunny Smiles Inc. has a containment facility for its animatronics is a huge red flag in itself. I mean, wouldn't it be strange for a company built around children's entertainment to act like the SCP Foundation, at times?
@@bitchtitchs A vault they keep leaving abandoned for no discernible reason and a key your not supposed to use. If that doesn't spell sketchy I don't know what does.
I don’t think Sophie was the one who lured Rosemary to the back stage. Whoever lured her back there called her Rosie. Why would Sophie call her mother by her first name?
@@fra34543 yeah but it’s still sketchy, you would think rosemary would have corrected that. even nowadays some parents think it’s disrespectful to call them by their names, so i wouldn’t think that people in the 70-80’s would be very accepting of that sort of stuff.
@@pimpledfootnosedchin8949 i don’t consider it disrespectful nor do my parents, it’s just really uncommon and once again i said “some parents”, not my parents. sorry i should have made that clearer.
I'm surprised you didn't comment on Sha saying, "turn on the lights" repeatedly. My theory on what exactly happened to Rosemary is that Felix was backstage, led her around with a flashlight (or turning on lights), and then turned it off when they got to the storage room again. She started crying for him to turn on the lights, but he was getting behind her to aim the light at Bon from behind her- so that when the light hit him, the first thing he saw was Rosemary. Hearing boise from the back, Sophie possibly went back to see what was going on, using a lighter since her flashlight was possibly missing- and saw what was happening to her mother. But since the lighter was faint compared to the flashlight, and he was distracted with Rosemary, Bon didn't notice the light and hence, Sophie is still alive.
I also think that the “where am I Sophie?” Could have been after she was already stuffed into the animatronic. Maybe sha saw Sophie back there but sha isn’t programmed to kill like bon is. She must have been terrified and confused and she saw her daughter so she asked where she was.
@Gianfranco Sparacio or moreso felix does, no doubt that was fucking horrifying for sophie but if sophie were to tell other people what she saw felix would probably get found out
I know this comment is buried, but what if the 'sophie, where am I?' was directed after Rosemary resurrected as Sha the sheep? It would make the story smoother, and make more sense to their relationship imo. The proposed timeline is that Sophie discovers Rosemary's corpse in Sha Rosemary asks her daughter where she is Sophie presumably gets amnesia or a nervous breakdown The bunnyfarm tape is Rosemary trying to tell Sophie what happened that night and telling Sophie that she is in danger.
Also, remember that in the other bonus tapes they say that the victims try to actively seek help and vengeance via analog logs, this meaning that they "possess" the tapes and insert the creepy segments to tell Sophie and the audience that something is wrong and they want to be heard. In this case, all of the mortal victims (except Charles, who has changed things but hasn't manifested a lot so far) are expressing that they want people to know the victims and make Sophie remember the things that happened to her family and relatives. And Jack wants to make Felix responsible for what he's done.
I think it makes more sense than the idea that Sophie led her mother into Bon's trap. But beyond that, I think the image in Tape 1 of Sophie dressed as a technician might be a flashforward in the series, showing how she gets inside the bunker: she gets a technician uniform somehow and gets there thanks to the key the company provides.
(Definitely not watching this video for the hundredth time after watching the fnaf movie). I know I say this a lot, but this is one of my favorite videos on your channel and I often find myself rewatching it. The Walten Files perfectly captures all the loved aspects of the franchise, and it amazes me that it’s fanmade. Even with the style being different, Walls so accurately showcases the key qualities of fnaf, making it stick so well in the community.
Jesus christ the elongated faces in these tapes are bone chilling to me, idk if I’ll be able to sleep now. It’s like horrifying but I also can’t stop looking at it, the story is super interesting too
Great, now I am going to take my damn Teddy Ruxpin, Grubby, Mother Goose, Snoopy, Oscar, Cookie Monster, and Big Bird and locking them in the shed. FOREVER!!!!!!
@@Pinnaporaptor That edited meme picture of Obama has him with the face of JOHJ from Yu Sasuga, and JOHJ is EXACTLY what I thought of when the first elongated face appeared. Absolutely hilarious.
I like to listen long videos while I'm drawing, but this one was the worst possible choice. Every time I look back up at the screen I'm greeted with enough nightmare fuel to power a rocket.
I was watching this while drawing too! I felt weird about trying to draw something cute while learning about how these poor people were mangled and stuffed inside of cartoony animal machines

@@justinhamilton8647 That's alright! I was always terrified of Jumpscares when I was younger and I always appreciated when people made lists for videos I wanted to watch, so I'm repaying the favour.
7:38 it’s because of the angles of the necks. Heads don’t naturally turn like that when you are standing towards someone, take Jack for example. There is no way to properly describe how his head is proportioned while still sticking to the rules of how the human body works. Same with Felix, but a little less obvious.
So is no one gonna talk about how the theme song for the Bunnyfarm game is almost entirely comprised of morse code spelling out "help" over and over again?
Game: shows distorted pictures of animatronics w distorted faces and other messed up stuff that would leave anyone traumatized Sophie: "Holy shit...anyway..."
I literally was saying that like she saw ppl being all bloody and shii and shes like “wow thats kinda weird” *plays next minigame with even more crazy shit*
@@Mendoloading the game could be like “I know where you live (insert address here) I am coming there to kill you” and she’d be like damn that’s crazy back to playing the game
what’s most unnerving to me about this series is the imagery. The use of real human faces makes it SO much creepier to look at. I genuinely had to look away when all the faces of Charles(?) we’re on screen. But also the combination of the cartoon visuals with these disfigured human faces, it just makes my skin crawl.
I also saw Squimpus McGrimpus use this same thing in some of their FNaF VHS tapes. I’m convinced that the only thing scarier than the unknown is the distortion of the familiar.
Same honestly. If it was just drawings, i would have been able to tolerate it, but the fact they were images of real faces, potentially generated through this person does not exist or even just taken from the internet.
Absolutely loved hearing Nick Crowley in here, too! 😊 That was a very welcome surprise. Also, this is the first mascot horror project I've ever gotten into. It's pretty unsettling!
@@pumpkinngutss 1:12:24 it’s hinted she’s torn apart from all the blood and from the second tape I think where it shows rosemary dead in multiple pieces.
“Ashley is still there, but she’s not screaming anymore, she saw something she wasn’t supposed to see and now she’s beautiful.” Chills SHOT through my body.
I think the voice that lured rosemary was Felix. He has the motive, and it would not make sense for Sophie to call her mom by her first name. Sophie did however witness her mother die. And the pills make her forget it
Exactly my thought ! I usually watch video essays about creepy stuff to enjoy without the anxiety that comes with it and this video did not do it for me ahah
Ashley's death at 39:12 is one of the most effective jumpscares I have ever experienced. The animatronic itself doesn't even make a sound. Just the scream of a genuinely terrified person who's life is about to come to a horrific conclusion.
what matt does are Theories, which are pointless if we have been given all the answers. considering nexpo and similar channels have done the same thing in the past, it might be as much a dunk on himself as much as anybody else.
@@KumaChrisVT Yet he crafts uninspired frankly preposterous theories full of holes and only work if you actively ignore most of the content canon content of the media he is theorizing about.
@@SourTb plenty of his theories are very wrong in their ideas, but pleny have also been close if not spot on to some of the topics covered. that new loki theory was laughable, but thats gonna happen sometimes when you make 3 new theories every week that gotten be researched lol.
The fact that the art absolutely emulates the roughness of kid's illustrations in the 70's, check out bad VHS kids movie covers, just elevates the genuiness
i was thinking, bc sophie specifically says she finds the art style familiar, even tho it cld jst be bc if the association w/ her father’s business, what if the drawings are actually by sophie or ed and molly?
Yes, it's very well done. Where it falls apart for me is when they try to pass off their CGI as live action (ie. showing the physical dolls). I mean I understand it is probably budgetary but still takes me out of the video which is annoying.
I made a horrifying realization... Bon is outside of the k9 facility now. Brain was killed OUTSIDE by Bon. Sophie playing the bunnyfarm game was ~5 days AFTER Brian was killed. This makes the message that Sophie saw in the game of them seeing her soon, more threatening. The Sha finding Sophie’s player character in the forest during hide-n-seek could be foreshadowing. Stay away from the forest Sophie! Bon is outside hunting down Sophie now.
@@ANIMAL.LOVERS.DONT.EAT.ANIMALS I know you probably wouldn’t care but font say your name or age on the internet for your own safety or unless you dont care otherwise that kinda terrifying nonetheless
Ok but imagine seeing an animatronic bunny, withered down, most likely bloody, just walking around. I imagine that someone would call the cops and they’d take Bon as evidence. Then they inspect Bon and find Jack in there, starting an investigation into the disappearances again. Probably starting an investigation on Felix, too.
@@thequeenofcringe1585 if they even knew who it was in the rabbit. in that scenario there's no telling how long he'd be in there before he was discovered, he might not even be recognizable by that point
When I saw that upside down triangle with the question mark on it moving around above Sophie's player in Bunnyfarm, honestly I bet you that some artists for Petscop wanted to help in this project, since it is something they are familiar with. And I think personally this became the true animatronic horror story FNAF once was
FNaF was covered to death by many RU-vidrs, namely the game theorists channel, which unfortunately made the concept of deadly animatronics feel unoriginal, but I really like this different spin on things. I agree it's a really good combination of the three and perhaps others as well
This is so well made and engaging. I really like the voice of the person who made this. Also thank god for the captions, they really help when your ears suck
18 years old and I had to watch the series under a blanket the entire time. I’ve haven’t been this afraid of something in years. Doesn’t help I started the series at 3am.
Okay I would just like to put this here, the reason that picture with Jack Walsh is so creepy is that, even though his body is facing sideways, his head is looking right at the camera. Necks don't do that.
Its time. 1 AM. Phone is fully charged, my little snack is ready, water bottle near me, room is chilled, tucked into my blanket, and ready to slowly fall asleep to Nexpo's ASMR voice talking about deranged animatronics. Hehehehe.
@@elliottisaperson it’s even more worrisome when you hear something to your left and you’re going blind in your left eye while watching some shit like this
The FNAF fandom has been producing some real masterpieces lately. As much as fnaf freaked me out as a kid, the eerie horror and sense of dread in this is far more effective.
@@justin2308 i mean yeah. the lore of fnaf is more disturbing then the games. walten files is more disturbing then the games but not more disturbing then the VHS tapes
Because you actually have to play FNaF, not have Nexpo talk to you seducingly while he tells you about how someone was found dead inside of an animatronic.
