For real, Battington makes things feel MORE real when it comes to the Five Night’s at Freddy’s franchise. William in the games or just lore in general just sounds like a man who just kills children and nothing more than that, but Battington helps make me feel like i’m in danger and that the person who i’m dealing with or watching is way more than a man in a suit. A monster and a stolid killer. So kudos to Battington.

The Bonnie monologue is amazing. His downright poetic prose about Edward’s death was simultaneously eerie and, even more so, saddening. The euphemism of him being a “new fawn come to play” but not having any reason for his soul to be trapped after William killed him (“no empty box to shelter him, no silver eyes to see through”) was bittersweet. Bonnie wants him to be free, but is still obviously sad that he couldn’t save him. It’s this kind of writing that really elevates this series.

Theory: In the video “Motion detected in cam_04” the description mentions that toy Bonnie was alerted to the sound of an intruder and was found In the morning staring at a *vent* (keep this in mind) In this video, old Bonnie tells Edward that there is a *stranger* in the building, and Edward finds William Afton in his Bonnie suit, chasing him around the location and eventually killing him. The tape mentions that his body was found in the vent a few days later. Could this tape take place on the night that security video took place in? Toy Bonnie might have been starring at the vent because that was where Edward was stuffed.

The idea that the animatronics actively attempt to help people who don’t look like William but in the most creepy way possible is one that I love more VHS tapes are starting to portray.

Bonnie's ''poem'' about Edward is just depressing. ''A new fawn has come to play.'' ''The fawn could not stay.'' - The children seeing Edward wander into becoming another victim to Afton. ''No empty box to shelter him.'' - Afton couldn't stuff him in another suit, so he chose the vents. ''Run little fawn.'' - They don't want another to join them in there torture. Also the fact the ''poem'' felt like it was from a children's book . . . it just messes with me. Seriously though, AMAZING job Battington. I am more than excited to see what comes next.

[@RubyRedPhoenix413]

This shows that, although you can have creepy ghosts, horrible monsters beyond our comprehension, decrepit animatronics possessed by spirits... nothing is any more scary than your fellow man. Monsters attack out of desperation, or even hunger. The depravities man is capable of are horrible and terrible to think about, as these things have probably happened in real life as well. Side note: Battington, everyone is singing your praises for something you deemed as a side project. Take it to heart and don't let the negativity get to you!

I like how it seems like William can barley move in the springlock suit, and it seems to heavily hinder his mobility, so he stands like a posing stuffed dead animal. That makes him even creepier, and more properly adapted than the usual fully mobile movement in other iterations. This series is if the FNAF lore was actually good.

[@nalabear97]

This series also kind of insinuates that bonnie lost his face attempting to protect/warn the kid about William.. which is super cool and also sad. I would like to think that William himself can’t fully control the animatronic, simular to how in FNAF 2 the animatronics are able to recognize people and follow sounds, we use the sound of kids to lure him away in FNAF 3, though when he does get lured away he is still staring directly at the camera at all times. Maybe it’s the animatronic that gets lured away, but he’s still fully conscious of who you are?

[@0re0xer1cd8]

​@@nalabear97I think there's a fnaf 3 phone call that says that the springlock aminatronics were programed to go sounds of children to entertain them, so yes William would have no control over the suit when it follows it's programing

This right here. This is FNAF at it's best. No remnant, no artificial intelligence and computer viruses or whatever the later games tried to shove down our throats. Only haunted pizzerias and serial killers. I really hope the movie takes inspiration from creators like you and realises what made FNAF popular in it's hay day. William Afton isn't some mad scientist obsessed with immortality. What makes him truly terrifying is that he's just a man in a suit, and his victims are children with no chance to fight back. This gives FNAF a sense of realism even though it's a ghost story because the main and ONLY villain is just a twisted person who could exist in real life.

[@zeyis4747]

Agreed. When I thought of William back then, I thought of serial killers and how they killed their victims. Eating them, torturing them, cutting off their body parts, child killer, ETC.

Honestly, it just keeps getting better and better. First of all, I do love these withered models.

Second, it's so creepy when you realize that Bonnie wasn't there to hurt the guy but warned him. The "stay dead, stay dead" line is extremely creepy, and once you realize what's going on, this thing is foreshadowing an even more dangerous creature down the hallway. Finally, just the general scene and lighting are amazing. Good work, Battington, if you end up seeing this.

I love how in the end, the children recognises William Afton and that he's a danger about to take another life so they warn Edward to run. Even though there's nothing left of them but their soul inside an animatronic, they still find the courage to spot stranger danger and warn a trespasser about their same fate even if it was too late. It's heartbreaking though. I've seen many comments stating "stranger" is just the words of a child as if your parents warn you about stranger danger, that's the only word a toddler would know when encountering an unknown individual. Probably the one and only time the animatronics appeared as just children in there somewhere.

[@lemonpresswood705]

What I love about Battington's videos is how Afton is portrayed and just *feels* in them. I don't think enough people realize that Afton is SO SO much more twisted and deranged than a regular serial killer or child murderer, He...no, *IT* is something beyond what can even be described as a monster

[@CaptainF123]

Ik the games never went this deep and probably never will after SB (Ruin was nothing compared to this so don't even mention it) but I damn hope we get smth like this in the movie although it would prob be rated R.

@@CaptainF123 Don't think Scott would want something like this officially

[@WooperGamerYT]

This video officially solidified Battingtons Afton as one of my favorite William interpretations. Although it’s possible William wasn’t accounting for Edwards corpse making the whole place smell bad, I don’t think that’s it. It feels like William wanted everyone in the building to smell his victim, he wanted the body to be found. It’s quite disturbing.

[@lemonpresswood705]

​@@WooperGamerYT That makes complete sense, considering in fnaf 2 William left the missing children's corpses strewn out across the pizzeria. I honestly don't think that Afton is some super smart, rational psychopath like everyone says he is, to me it seems more like he's actually fucking CRAZY, to the point he would probably be put in a mental institution rather than a prison if he was caught

[@redpanda6497]

Yess. The weight of his actions and his sick mentality isn't taken seriously enough in the games.

[@colekiesler6218]

You kinda gotta feel bad for Bonnie. He and the others were trying to call out for Edward and warn him about Afton’s presence before it was too late but Edward didn’t realize until it would soon happen. Also Bonnie’s unnerving look sadly make’s Edward’s situation worse.

"We shed our hidden smiles a new fawn has come to play." -The animatronics were happy that Edward was present with them "Our cries were not heard, the fawn could not stay" -Despite their happiness, Edward couldn't stay and their warnings(cries) were not heard. "It didn't have a box to shelter him, no silver eyes to see through." -In my opinion the "box" and "silver eyes" is a metaphor for an animatronic suit, and there were no more vacant suits for Edward to be stuffed in ("shelter him")and possess. ("silver eyes to see through" prolly a reference to the Silver Eyes book) "Run little fawn, before all hope disappears. Run little fawn, the golden hare is here." -William Afton (golden hare)

It's genius bc that might be Bonnie's only programmed word that he can use to warn Edward about Afton, and it really solidifies the fact there's a child trapped in the suit.

[@marvelousmadmen832]

Theory time: This is NOT part of the original missing children incident, but rather Battingtons take on the events that conspired in the FNAF 2 “Save Them” mini-game, and the often overlooked killings William Afton supposedly committed while at the new Freddy Fazbear’s Pizza during FNAF 2. We can Infer this by the following points: - Edward can’t be part of the original missing children incident. The animatronics are already possessed judging by the black and white footage of each of them twitching violently, along with Bonnie roaming through the building trying to warn Edward of the “Stranger”. - Another piece of evidence that Edward isn’t part of the MCI is that his body WAS found. The game lore states that the children of the MCI’s bodies were never located. - This murder takes place at Freddy Fazbear’s JR’s. This restaurant is likely the location where the Toy Animatronics were present. This video could be a continuation of the previous main entry in this series, “Motion Detected In Cam_4”, a video where Toy Bonnie panics about how someone (likely William Afton), found a way inside the building, and is hiding in the shadows. The original animatronics seen in this video were also broken and withered, definitely being out of commission in favor for their newer more advanced counterparts. - The Animatronics were clearly trying to warn Edward about William Afton. They were trying to keep him safe, but failed in the end. We’ve seen this happen in the “Save Them” mini-game, where you control the original Freddy and follow The Puppet around the new location in order to save new victims of The Purple Guy, only to arrive too late or be shut down by the killer himself. I hope this theory is true because the victims seen in the “Save Them” mini-game never got any proper closure in the actual games, and are constantly forgotten by the lore and most of the fandom. Maybe Battington can finally bring this event into relevance.

[@Mystik459]

I really like your theory,make sense for me,specially for the "he found a way inside,he's hinding in the shadows"

[@majorghoul9017]

I love whenever these make the animatronics into something almost benevolent. Less angry and more confused and scared. I especially like the new trope in these series of the animatronics trying to warn people about William

[@PyroPisces]

I don't believe that I've ever seen your work before, but holy crap it's giving me chills. The part with Bonnie in the hall giving that warning "stranger" freaked me the hell out. Don't even get me started on the part where you can see the "stranger" running past the hiding spot. This is amazing and so unsettling.

[@Yeah_ItsYou]

seeing the bunny run pass the hiding spot terrified me the most, it is something that we wasnt supposed to see but he did tho cuz he's guarenteed dead after

[@jooooJitos420]

Even scarier when you notice his head is looking to the camera (if you pause, you can see that his ear is tilted towards the hiding spot, meaning, that he knew Ed was there)

[@wanderer2465]

As other comments have said. People don't realize how disturbing Fnaf and William Afton as a fictional killer really is. Stuff like this really nails it. I think this short sorta refers to FNaF 2 when William came back and killed more kids and phone guy was scared and said "why are you here tonight? Somethings wrong" (Also 2:10 top left scared the shit out of me)

Yeah, Edward's screaming is something I don't see referred to in these comments. To me it sounds like he says "Please!", and, "I can't break it!" (The door/windows), like he's begging for someone to notice him through the entrance. It may not be the case, but it adds to the feeling that Ed really wasn't deserving of it.

This tape is genuinely the gold pot at the end of a rainbow. Seeing Springtrap mercilessly watching Edward clawing at the entrance really reflected how cold and calculated William Afton is in the right situations. Another thing I liked was how Fazbear Entertainment acknowledged Springtrap at the end, but didn't really state they were going to find it and destroy it, just leaving the public a 'stay safe' message.
