The Return to Freddy’s - Episode 1: After Hours [FNAF/VHS]

Recorded 𝐍𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐦𝐛𝐞𝐫 𝟏𝟖, 𝟏𝟗𝟖𝟓:
Found in the backroom of an abandoned Freddy Fazbear's at Valley View Center Mall, the VHS tape shows a teenager breaking into the restaurant late at night. The footage captures their exploration of the empty location, unveiling something dark to do with the disappearance of one of the old Fredbear costumes. The tape ends being overwritten with a disturbing recording of a police document concerning the missing children of Freddy's.
The Sparky suit has since been disposed of and the carpets have been cleaned. A missing persons report will be filed within 90 days.

I really like how when Sparkys spring locks activate, he goes into animatronic mode and starts waving and talking. Nice detail, everything looks amazing

[@danielmurilooliveiraprado2871]

Wait. if Sparky has spring locks, that means he is probably form Fredbear's Family Diner.

[@KateWasHere111]

5:16 I like the idea of like Susie trying to say “stop roaming around”. Warning him to get out of danger. Not trying to kill him. It reminds you that a child is controlling the suit:D

6:31 this is probably the most lore accurate representation of a springlock failure instantly impailed, not being able to scream because of the lungs being filled with blood, and the suit going into entertainment mode sith the arm waiving hi to the croud its amazing that we finally have a lore accurate springlock failure albeit not offical but its still sooo cool props Valox 😄👍

[@Valox]

Thats what I was going for lol. Thanks

[@brendanthetankengine21peep30]

The way how Sparky's eyes lights up is probably the victim will now be stuck inside the suit as a Spirit.

[@Joseph_Ochoa.]

@@brendanthetankengine21peep30 yea I thought so too I think that was a whole sign to tell the audience that the suit now has the remnant capable of giving life to the animatronic

This tape brought back all the nostalgia of going to Chuck E. Cheese’s as a kid in the 2000’s/early 2010’s. My favorite part of FNaF is the fact that we can all relate to the childhood memories, and the distortion of those memories brings the fear

This is how the fnaf movie should of been like. Gory, scary and just pure horror. I also loved the detail when the suit goes animatronic mode, that the suit starts waving and talking.
