The Horrific Remake of a Classic FNaF Series - DMuted

[@Battington]

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.

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.

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.

[@Daiyamaruu]

true. I for the longest time never felt scared of fnaf, but these tapes, since squimpus, helped me to fear the games again. Like when i played fnaf 1 back then i was just afraid of being jumpscared, nothing else, now little things like the moan sounds that they do when getting close to you i can connect with it being the child that is inside the animatronic and it makes things 100x times scarier

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).

[@bumblegoot1139]

What’s terrifying is that I’ve worked at places like Freddy’s, and oftentimes they would just throw you into the work flow just because they needed a constant stream of employees. I can easily imagine employees hardly being informed of how dangerous this suit actually is, because managers at this kind of place just don’t care.

[@m.a.k.dynasty4504]

@@teanobeano6838 FNAF is ALWAYS going to have an appeal to children solely because the mascots of the franchise are animatronic animals. Yeah, there's the fact that these animatronics were possessed by the souls of murdered children, but when has stuff like that ever driven you children/ teenagers away from the series? When I was a kid, I grew up with stuff like Courage the Cowardly Dog, The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy, Invader Zim, etc. and I loved every moment of it. The fact of the matter is, FNAF is always going to have this level of cheese and absurdity that makes it more easily digestible than most other mainstream horror franchises in the gaming market and it's always going to have this large portion of the franchise turning whatever "serious" and "horrifying" aspect of the franchise into a joke. There's no escaping that. It feels like people like you take this franchise more seriously than it has any right to be taken. No amount of dark and edgy backstories and fan projects is ever going to take away from the fact that our primary antagonists are anthropomorphic robotic animals or otherwise that under normal circumstances wouldn't be anymore than just modestly creepy to look at.

[@Nacho2003YT]

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.

[@Deathpunch-wb3yq]

But the crying child dies in the hospital in the fnaf 4 game. Granted this could have been a change Battington decided to make

[@Nacho2003YT]

@@payt00n perhaps. After all, VHS series aren’t usually 100% game accurate (and sometimes not even the games are accurate amongst themselves lol) Although, the fact that the scene is CC possessing the suit doesn’t require it to happen precisely right after the incident. I don’t even think FFD would have just functioned normally the day after the bite. Perhaps, if CC did hold on a little longer on the hospital for a couple of days, his soul eventually got transported back to the suit once he passed and caught the employees off guard

[@Cam_Can_Play]

I love this theory so much, because the birthday song makes so much sense. It was CC's birthday, so it makes sense that his first attempt at communication through Fredbear would be that song. Especially if Fredbear was programmed to sing the birthday song the day CC died.

One of those people was Squimpus McGrimpus, who gave Battington the OK to remake his tapes. So when word got out, and Battington made an apology post afterwards, Squimpus told Battington that he wasn't allowed to recreate any more of his videos anymore.

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*.

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.

[@icnzblast1959]

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.

[@grimshadow8845]

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.

[@AdachiCabbage]

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.

[@RoclerBeats]

14:10 in the foxy pre-show video, the difference between the first and second time is that the background music isn't playing.

[@richi3035]

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

[@TranquillShot]

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

[@blondeplants1133]

Since it wasn’t mentioned, I’ll say it here During the showcase of how to properly prep and set up the Bonnie bun and how to set up the head, underneath the desk you can see someone staring at you through the camera. I got chills because the pair of eyes don’t really do anything. They just…stare at you. And it’s not at the camera it’s DIRECTLY at the watcher. Edit: the time stamp is 3:42 for those who are curious and brave enough Edit 2: should have also mentioned, it’s in the original video by battington. My bad!

[@At0m1c_At0m]

Hmm do you have a time stamp? I’m genuinely curious but can’t see what your pointing out.

[@Nomad958]

don't see anything

[@blondeplants1133]

@@At0m1c_At0m oh yeah totally! Sorry I’ll add it in an edit so everyone can see. It’s 3:42

[@blondeplants1133]

@@Nomad958 check 3:42!

[@ThyBigCheddar]

@@blondeplants1133 Isn't it during the springlock video, where the final step to putting in the costume is to roll down the eyes? And underneath the desk there you can see it. Cause I don't know what your seeing at 3:42

[@BreakerInc]

"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

[@TheSonicPlushTeam77]

"Woe is me who talks about haunted bears" got me rolling all the way back to 1987.

[@DovahRS]

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

[@CooISkeleton96]

Holy muck these videos are so mucking good

[@gtmans6570]

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

[@crimson0762]

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

[@gaslux]

if you look closely at the golden Freddy twitch scene, I think that's a Hanging reenactment, because he has a purple ring around his neck, and it also ascends into the ceiling that of which a noose portrays. 17:20

[@usixn1117]

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

[@noahwilson6292]

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

[@Dunelio]

16:30, its only there for 3 frames but if you pause and use the comma and period keys on desktop, you can see that foxy had indeed been stuffed too.

[@joshuavis2736]

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.

[@yeahok8259]

Same here

[@robertoramirez660]

3:37 Cuts to an ad, truly terrifying

[@rainielluizbello1591]

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

[@einztree5189]

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

[@misfit_sailor388]

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!!

[@ashbuck455]

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

[@nomus1172]

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

[@gsamalot]

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

[@girlitsjia46]

5:57 i noticed that while he doesn’t move his body when you test his eyes, but compare his eyes before you go to the computer. it seems like when you test his eyes, they widen. like they see YOU.

[@MrIrdatlan]

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)

[@thekirbycrafter7229]

Try not to hire any person who likes the color purple and has some....questionable motivations

@@thekirbycrafter7229 what a "Koinkydink" my favorite color is purple.

[@djneely2999]

9:57 I really need to know what this means “I saw a bird sleeping in the snow. That’s what bad dreams are about.”

[@ennarddude2044]

These videos have always almost given me a heart attack, yet I can't get over how well done they are. The Chica video is the most terrifying in my opinion (mainly the close up of her face with the child scream) along with the Foxy one (specifically the children shot with laughter, and "VIEWING OF THIS TAPE IS PROHIBITED. DISCARD IT IMMEDIATELY.")

[@julielovell1039]

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!

[@elliotsturtplus340]

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

[@RosemaryKatVA]

Something I would like to point out is that when we see Golden Freddy twitching; he seems to be hanging from the ceiling, almost struggling? Time code is 17:20. Unsure If anyone else noticed that.

[@DaKingBread]

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!

[@agoodname6997]

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

[@biigg22]

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

[@thenoseguy]

Sound Response Check is seriously chilling. The original and the remake. Great stuff by both creators.

[@kinnelyuwu5771]

I honestly think the original is better than the remake in the horror department, like idk something about it being stilted is creepier As far as I know, the reason Battington started doing his own thing was because he made a joke about Martin Walls dying to make fun of the fact that he'd been offline that didn't go over well and Squimpus told him he can't make the remake anymore but idk if anything about that changed after the main drama happened

[@raggebatman]

11:00 It makes sense to me that the spirit we see walk to the backrooms here is actually a representation of the child's spirit inside the animatronic, following the "Bonnie head" which represents Afton. Afton probably led the child to the bathroom in the first place but I don't think these two appearances should be intertwined

[@fatetheanimator9580]

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

[@dootdootperson4304]

1:46 This seems so dream like to me, you don't say anything, and when foxy just shows up that feels the most nightmarish because with how freddy acts its like he doesn't even realize. Sorry for the ramble

[@seantaylor424]

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!

[@sauceman2885]

Shame squimpus turned out to be a massive creep

[@royalhydra9790]

5:58 Bonnie moves when his ears areturned on, just he doesn’t move on camera. His head goes from staring at nothing to staring at you. And the likely reason he didn’t move when his ears were turned on, is that he can hear you.

[@ArtemixSpectator_]

I just realized the Hollow Knight music in the beginning part of the video and holy crap it's beautiful. It's such a glorious tune which mixes with the unnerving sights and explanations. Awesome.

[@Kian30398]

16:30 I slowed your slowed down video down to 0.25 and yep. Foxy has definitely been stuffed lol. Gonna have nightmares about that.

[@Kian30398]
