havent watched too much but the tone of the animatronic when it speaks to you is actually chilling. it sounds like a child in the "what are you doing?" and how it says "whatchu doin'?", that mixed with the fact that its an expressionless animatronic truly does make it feel like theres something trapped in there, no longer able to physically express emotion. then the way the pitch of its voice goes up and down when it asks "why are you hiding?" feels so psychotic and threatening. like false comfort in a way, it wants to sound safe and comforting but the intentions shine through and it just feels really scary in the end.

First of all, I totally agree that Battington managed to animate the different movements perfectly, and the music makes me think of a light blue and cliffs. Also, Mat pat, im pretty sure the "ear" in freddys stomach is just a part of his endo. As well as all of that, the little girl saying "mommy" was just a fear response. When Kids are scared or even adults, they will usually call out for someone they trust or for someone to help.

22:01 I think the 'fifth finger' was a result of the pads. Each finger has 2 pads, but at the time, the angle you had would make you assume it's just 1 pad per finger, so you counted 5 pads. One per finger, and an extra that was behind the knuckle of the pinky.

So I figured out why Mat(and I) counted 5 fingers. It was when Freddy had his arms out to display the logo, and each finger has 2 pads on it. If you count fingertips you get 4 fingers, but because of the angle you see an extra pad from the first finger and makes it look like an extra finger entirely instead of a side-view of the first finger.

I think the new books becoming more descriptive is more a result of the fact that they are aware that if they don’t grow with their original audience then they will be left behind until that OG group has children, nixed & nephews, or siblings who reach an age/ developmentally appropriate stage where they can share them with. That can leave chunks of down time financially and that isn’t good for anyone.

You know shit's gonna get wild when the cold open is MatPat being merciless traumatised

[@hajimemakunouchi723]

As a somewhat horror novelist / storyteller; YEAH, OUR ENTIRE THING IS ABOUT IMPLICATIONS WITHIN YOUR MIND. If we can create a horrible and twisted image in your mind of what is being described, we can make you feel disturbed from what we say. We may not feel it, but we try and make you feel it. The mind goes to grim places from other sources of media, like from personal experiences or tall tales. I love describing what happens in detail than just; “oh, this happened and yeah it was sad” Love ya content Matt, keep making content like this!

[@unknownsoldier4156]

Matpat, I've loved the robotic concepts of fnaf since 2014 since it came out that I found myself happily accepting a low level automation tech job. Been there for 5 years now and the most robotic thing there are massive palletizing robots (ie the big arm robot that grabs and move pallets and products)! And I can tell you from experience. No matter if they're haunted or not. Apply water where its not suppose to be, potentially the electronics, and no amount of remnant will keep that thing on its feet! PRO TIP.

[@antidotebrain69]

Now I want a fan game where the cheat win is throwing glasses of water at the animatronics.

[@unknownsoldier4156]

@@antidotebrain69 It would be surprisingly effective even against the big animatronics. The tick it to hit them where their suits expose their insides, so the water would drip down into the electronics lol.

[@Suchega_Uber]

Not knocking MatPat, but Stephanie is missed. I know she is doing her own thing, but the chemistry between her and Matt is undeniable. I really would have liked to have seen her reaction to this.

[@Charlie-mn8fc]

Well you would hope they have chemistry considering they're married lmao

[@bufficliff8978]

I used to watch every stream but now just check this channel a couple times a year to see if there's anything I'm interested in. MatPat is awesome but this channel was both of them, and it's not the same minus 1

I am generally opposed to couples "working" together. Every couple needs to enjoy their relationship outside of work.

[@_frenchiest_fry_]

It reminds me of a child who got lost in a mall or playplace. Like it's supposed to be happy, but it's muffled by fear.

[@theftking]

At 34:51 Spring Bonnie/Afton's ears are poking up from behind the stall door as Chica descends upon the girl. It's among the creepiest things in the series, yet easy to miss! It almost makes you wonder what the _real_ threat was, and _why_ Chica was so adamant that it was "time to go home."

[@mask_vids9834]

Wow

[@artinstructor4020]

So maybe, if she's already possessed, chica was trying to save her?

[@kraaiwaker8312]

Ayy, cool to see you watched this too, I really enjoyed your video you made recently on this

@@artinstructor4020 that's what I think!

[@quirkynoms7579]

Really glad you're checking out more Battington content; on that note, please be sure to check out the rest of his Harmony & Horror series when you can. It gets even darker and more creative as they go on.

[@MnMJax]

Matthew kinda playfully making fun of the jazz during the maintenance video just had me thinking "what, would you rather it be casual bongos?"

[@fairytypepokemonqueen4605]

Fun fact, back in the old FNAF 2 game you can hear Mangle climbing around. That's that weird clanking sound you might hear once in a while.

[@ODV0131]

The thing that scares me most about the sound response test is the fact that the poor young girl sounded so real that it truly terrified and what I mean is she said "Mommy" cause she wanted to yell for help in that situation and when she said "No Chica!" it literally sounded like what an actual child would say.

[@Histo-j1o]

Yeah fnaf is How's the Secrets right

[@hebbycakes]

Chica's voice was imitating that little girl's mom's voice--! THAT'S why she said mommy. because it wasn't a scared response, it was "...mommy?"

[@wreatharobinson633]

18:28 this reminds me of that one time that my writing teacher told us to write a narrative essay about an episode of the twilight zone called the monsters are due on maple street. We were told to write from a certain character's point of view. I chose a character who dies. I described his last moments as he died of a gunshot wound. Looking back on it, I think I traumatized that poor teacher.

[@CharaDreemurX]

Same lol

[@EulaRulesImpact5629]

Lmao my english teacher gave us an assigment to write about the game, what we like and dislike, and I obviously chose fnaf, and I think I made her traumatised

[@FalseInformation-Steve]

11:40 MatPat is the kind of person to laugh at a dead child in a robot suit

[@fluffywhompus]

After theorizing for a decade about this series he’s been desensitized

[@i_exist_9000]

the music you asked us about makes me think of a sad, slow, inescapable doom. like you arent dying yet, but you are about to. it makes me think of the murders of the kids who are none the wiser.

[@YuYu_Kami]

In response to what I thought about the music: I tried to disassociate what I thought of the music from what it's traditionally used for in media. Once I did that I came to something surprisingly similar to Mat. I thought of looking up while underwater. There's something about it that reflects the tranquility that comes from being underwater, the weightlessness of floating, the light filtering through the water. However, it also captures the hidden dangers. The threat of drowning, how difficult it can sometimes feel to move, the darkness below and what lurks beneath. It's beautiful and also unsettling. Thank you for coming to my TED talk. (Sorry I'm an art graduate who hasn't been able to talk about art with anyone in forever.)

[@odiebrown4384]

I know it’s supposed to be scary but the way Bonnie stands hunched over it makes him look like he was rejected by the others and he is pounding it just makes me laugh

[@vagabondvalley]

It's like, really cool that Mat did his research on each of the creators wishes

[@RebekahLeiplein]

The whole time I was wondering if he'd get through them all. But I'm actually more excited for the still 20 minutes of content he has to react too, meaning we'll get probably another hour ish of content and I'm stoked.

[@mage1439]

There's something so chill about Matt and Ash. I used to get kind of irritated sometimes, like "play the game already." But their back and forth is so interesting I can't think of when the last time I got impatient to get back to the content was.

[@Cheese.22]

I just wanna say the way that the fandom and the actual creators can work to together to creat new and more horrifying games, videos, and even movies is just beautiful. And just because someone sees something differently doesn’t mean that it’s inherently wrong everyone see every thing differently and that’s why it so amazing. It’s all about perspective, and I love the fact that even if someone doesn’t fully agree or see it how you do they can at least try to understand how you see it. Sorry it’s so long but honestly I’m so happy that we can just enjoy this amazing creative experience and try to understand it! 😁

[@PouncyJunior]

If you look at where Chica opens the door, you can see william afton's suit's ears poking up from the top.

[@vesselling]

I discovered this series rather recently, and I was surprised when I saw that MatPat hadn't covered it. It comes as another surprise to see MatPat watch this and comment on it every second, it makes me very happy. I can't wait to see him cover more! This is one of the first times I've seen genuine shock within the first minute of covering these. Parts$Service shocked me with the subversion of expectations seeing Foxy after the anticipation of seeing Freddy.

[@liahuribe2126]

So the music made me feel like i was stuck in a limbo, sort of like if i was near death walking a long hallway. These specific off sounding operas remind me so much of analog horror, specifically the "stuck inside something" ones i just immediately relate these songs to being half dead in limbo

[@BraydonRhoton]

idk if this video came before or after security breach but at 7:00 I feel like the weight of the animictronics was also conved well in that game because of the way the screen shakes so much in the game when Freddy or any of the animictronics get near you

[@shitokupluto5320]

I'm so glad Battington is getting the exposure. I learned about him through CoryxKenshin's SSS series, then more and more people started covering him. he's at half a mil subscribers now and it makes me happy that his stuff is being found more and more because he's one of the reasons analog horror is making the rounds on yt. Thanks MatPat!

[@kai.skorner]

Battingtons take on Squimpus's FNAF Tapes are so good!! Mat, I suggest you watch the originals, either here or on your on time! They are legitimately terrifying and tragic!! 😄☺️

[@CommandLineVulpine]

At the beginning he mentions staying out of drama and towards the end he says he "isnt allowed to react to them" I don't know whats up, I'm guessing Squimpus doesn't like Mat so told him not to, sort of like Toby did for Deltarune

[@gibbywierenga7703]

It's crazy how scared mat was, he kept pausing and rewinding to parts he knew of

[@Thil]

I love how you play this game with your son to say what they think of when hearing classical music. I'm a music therapist and one of the things I love to do when there's time left over in a session is kind of similar, but we draw it instead of saying what it reminded us of. Really interesting to see what people come up with and talk about it together

[@sofhi12]

Battington added a lot to this series so some things were from the original but he added serveral minutes of original interactions and events to the tapes :0

[@LH44Tf2]

*Takes animatronics chest off and reveals dead corpse* Matpat: *laughs hysterically* 11:34

I love how whenever Ash or Mat start a bit the other just goes along with it and makes it so believable! Just they’re chaotic Theater Kid energy I guess 😂😂❤️

[@phayes84]

The” yes and” is strong with them both.

Also Another piece of evidence that supports the motif of “home” and Chica is that in the UCN cutscene Chica brings people to her home and is implied to have killed them.

Actually Fnaf VHS is an entire genre on KZbin! Battington is recreating/reimagining the old Squimpus Mcgrimpus tapes, which were basically the father of fnaf VHS.

that music most definitely reminds me of like a memorial. Like a day of terror and remembrance like a funeral.

[@aantonnettex]

the best thing about battingtons work is the designs because it masters the uncanny affect without even trying as well as keeping the animatronics looking joyful and friendly, exactly how you’d see them in a child friendly environment

[@CoolDude-kd1bj]

Watching these by myself would leave me a bit shiver and tense but seeing Matpat react to these makes me feel like I’m the only one being a bit frighten. It’s like when a KZbinr plays a scary video game it only gives you second hand scareness .
