THINGS YOU MISSED IN THE FNAF MOVIE (SPOILERS)

[@KUENTIN102]

Seeing Sparky was definitely the most surreal thing ever. The fact that they made a full animatronic body for a joke character like that is what made me 100% trust the people working on the film and the sequels. They clearly know what they’re doing

[@vivianlynnfair]

I was the only one who knew sparky in my theatre 💀💀

[@melynn_0355]

I trusted that it was gonna be good with Scott himself being at the helm of this project. I think he even almost or did cameo during the restaurant scene where matpat had a small role

[@zxdiacvfx4912]

blumhouse is a really good horror company, so once i saw they were the ones making the movie i had full trust.

[@Green-Bulldozer]

Sparky also appears at a custom night exclusive character in the fnaf fan-game "Five Nights at Treasure Island 2020"

[@zianabanana]

when sparky came on sceen a bunch of kids bhind me in the theatre starting going "It's Fetch!!" i almost cried

[@someonenamedblue4893]

One thing you didn't mention: In the scene where Fritz (the kid possessing Foxy) cuts Mike's arm in the dream sequence and roars, it shows him with black eyes with black tears in reference to the appearance of the children's spirits in the mini games.

I enjoyed the movie as well but I really feel like the fans ruined the experience for me. They were obnoxiously loud and I couldn’t hear parts of the movie or focus on the movie.

A little Easter Egg for horror fans, Matthew Lillard’s performance as William Afton (specifically his Springtrap scenes) mirrors his only other major horror appearance in Scream as Stu Mache. He even does the signature Scream knife wipe before using it, which was really cool to see in cinema (especially as he has stated multiple times he would love to be in another Scream film)

[@cian6835]

I really like when Venessa presses the red button and the animations perform ‘talking in your sleep’ and Freddy looks at Mike when he says that very line. I also loved the way how the animations injured Mike in the dreams rather than the animations coming into the office. I only wish it was William who drags abbey into the back rather than chica.

[@clone3]

Yeah afton would’ve been so much cooler and would have made a lot more sense

[@TheOnlyCelciAndDontYouForgetIt]

When I saw the movie I thought Chica was gonna like take her to the back room and Afton would come out for her

[@Purplisntacolor]

Even though it would be cooler it would be way harder to explain how he gets Abby out

[@landon8317]

Something I dont think many people realized is that william wasn’t going to give mike the job until he saw his last name. If you go back and watch the scene he was reading mikes name and when he got to his last name he stopped and then offered him the job to try and kill him. Since at the end he said “I got to kill your brother and now I get to kill you too”

[@UsernameHere51]

I thought that part was obvious. I knew he was William from the start and him not being able to say his name obviously triggered some memory. It meant something to him.

Honestly, FNAF was probably the best videogame movie adaptation ever made. They put the game elements and references above all else, and didn't try to stray away for the sake of the general audience. I only ever played the 1st one and some minigame stuff w my kids, but I could tell the movie was made with the gamers in mind every step of the way. The kids were stoked.

[@xandan1668]

I'd say it's on par with the super mario movie. The animated one not the live action one.

[@novustalks7525]

Definitely not. The film is very inaccurate with the games

[@ViJolt28469]

​@@novustalks7525I wouldn't mind, because after all, the movie is it's own separate thing. But maybe they should have focused more on, I don't know, having good dialogues, a story less stupid. This moviel looked like those cringe sfm edits...

[@Calamity25]

References shouldn't be put above all else, especially plot... it really wasn't as good as it could've been. Sonic movie is probably still the best tbh

[@isthmoid9010]

The Puppet is 100% Garrett. It would make so much sense. Maybe not as the first victim, but I can definitely see Garrett having anger for the fact that Mike didn't save him and let him get taken away. So The Puppet is going to be mad at Mike, maybe feeding into the reason why the animatronics in the second movie will attack him.

[@AmirAniq-p7c]

But it was said that the second movie is gonna be a sequel and fnaf 2 happened before fnaf 1. So it would be most likely that the second movie would be abt fnaf 3

[@TheSeventySin7]

Nice theory! It goes really well with the theory that Mike's father is Henry from the movie timeline, and that is why William murdered him in the first place.

[@isthmoid9010]

@@AmirAniq-p7c but the movie already isn't going along with the timeline and exact canon of the game. Vanessa isn't Williams's daughter, Mike is his son, but that isn't happening in this. So although you could be right, I have a feeling they could switch that around.

[@Luke-wo1xn]

I get the feeling that Garret is the second soul within Golden Freddy. While the movie isnt going on the same timeline and canon of the game, it still seems to follow some of its base rules. IF the same rules are being used, Golden Freddy would need a second soul to be able to behave like he does in the film, which in my opinion is Garret. Maybe Mike couldnt contact Garret, because the Golden Freddy spirit that we know is too controlling with his own anger to let Garret make contact.

The movie was really great, the only thing i didnt like was when the animatronics were playing fortnite lmao. I kinda wanted it to look a bit more mysterious on the paranormal aspect, when it came to that scene, but the rest i agree were really good

[@AquaKeyBlade98]

I noticed that Abby's little tent that she slept in the office in had a dark blue blanket with stars on it (subtle nod to Security Breach's Daycare Attendant Moon?). And the scene where Abby hides in the ballpit felt like a tiny nod to "Into the Pit".

[@just1megabyte566]

As a hardcore fans fan ,I absolutely loved the movie, I really like the acting and the cast, but the Easter eggs,and the ending were pretty good Yes the movie had some flaws but it didn’t matter to me, I loved the movie no matter what. I’ve waiting 9 years for this movie and it was definitely worth the wait. The fact that the living tome stone song was in the credits make me so happy, that song was in there. ❤ I suggested you watch this movie because it’s absolutely amazing, yes i did have some issues with the movie, like some of the acting senses were pretty bad and some there was little to no animatronic screen times, and the spring lock seen had no blood. I mean Ik it’s supposed to be kid friendly but they should of added a little blood. I also wanted golden Freddy to be in there more, I really liked his design but he was only there for a couple of minutes which was really disappointing.and Some parts of the movie was pretty cheesy and corny, but over all the movie was pretty good and I didn’t expect it to be that good or bad.

[@Drewskiac]

The guard being named Fritz at 3:10 is funny since he's the guard who beat 10/20 mode, and the guard at the start of the movie was originally going to be played by Markiplier (according to MatPat's recent video) So it's oddly fitting the King of FNAF was going to play a character that canonically beat the custom night.

I saw Matpat's video, and I learned that if Markiplier had the time to be in the movie, he would've been the night guard in the beginning. I hope that if they make a FNAF 2, Markiplier has a large role rather than just a cameo given Mark makes films and can act.

[@lukaazxd4142]

I'll be happy if he appears at all. Maybe he wasn't in this movie because he's filming Iron Lung.

[@bwabbel]

@@lukaazxd4142 that's what he said. Iron lung was being filmed exactly at the same time so he couldn't just take the plane and disappear from the set for 2-3 days

There were definitely a lot of easter eggs that can go unnoticed on the first watch, but the most interesting was the living room where Mike sat on a recliner (?) after his first night - the way it's set looked really similar to the popcorn scene after spending a night in SL.

[@possums154]

yeah seriously. This movie was a labour of love that catered to the vets in such a good way. I loved looking for easter eggs and finding stuff that i never expected to find, like the Ella doll being a little springlock suit or the glitching in the background

[@katiegogerty9365]

I wasn't a fan before seeing the movie, and I had a great time :) I think it's important for filmmakers to make a labor of love and not try too hard to explain to new people. So, by making a movie for long time fans, it made my newbie experience better.

[@XxXK1770rD13XxX]

Theory is, Michael's brother is the puppet since he was the first victim. Also here's a thing you missed, the way that the springlock scene happened is exactly as william described it in the silver eyes book.

Okay, hear me out, when I left the theatre I began to think about the "Vanessa is William's daughter" situation. I think that William might have brainwashed Vanessa like the kids to make her think that she is her daughter. Maybe this can be explored in a future movie, because there are some things that hint at it. Also, I find it weird that Mike's father was absent and hardly talked during the scenes he was in,. maybe he is william and Mike is just oblivious or doesn't want to remember. I dunno.

[@Axoleah]

Mike does say when talking to Vanessa that he remembers his family like the perfect sort you'd see on TV. I don't think he's remembering his parents correctly. Especially with that meeting with William at the start where he sees Mike's last name and pauses. 100% I believe mike was taken away from William at some point, perhaps by child protective services? Thats the only reason I can think of as to why he has a different surname, and why William is using a false alias if he was never caught.

[@pedromdart]

@@Axoleah Also, in the first movie casting, the aunt was supposed to be an Afton, so that's something else. It could be that the mother left the father after what happened in the camp, and then she married another man and had Abby? Maybe if Mike was adopted by this new father figure it could make more sense.

correct me if I'm wrong but I'm pretty sure the movie was in an alternate universe, therefore a lot of the lore and characters weren't the same people we know in the games, so I guess in this universe Vanessa is William's daughter

SPOILER THEORY: I honestly think the Puppet is going to end up being Possessed by Garett C.O.M.E F.I.N.D M.E could be Garett calling out to Michael letting him know he's still out there. Garett, similar to Charlie who possessed The Puppet, was seemingly one of Williams's First Victims and Wasn't killed inside the Pizzeria but Outside. The two deaths also involve a Car of Some sort with Garett being kidnapped in a Car and Charlie being killed when Afton walks out of his car to kill her.

[@YTNFSCC]

I think a lot of people went into this expecting a Masterpiece of Horror. But I feel like the movie succeeded in being what most fans, and people who know the franchise, actually wanted, Fanservice and a celebration of 8 years of a fandom waiting for the thing to happen. I liked it. The Set for the Pizzaria was brilliant, the Puppets/Animatronics were brilliant. And even though there are things I feel like were underutilized or missed potential, I enjoyed my experience. Living in a small town in germany, this is the first time that the theatre was almost entirely full. I have been to premieres of Marvel Movies with less people. There was a group of people including someone dressed as Purple Guy, and they put a Freddy PLush infront of the scene before the movie started.

I am leaning toward Garrett being the one to send the “Come Find Me” message, just cause Mike never accomplished the other goal he had in mind throughout most of the film: Finding Garrett. He never specifically said it, but just as the kid who possessed Freddy said, it’s what he wanted (albeit Mike changed his mind on this), he wanted his brother back. Can’t wait for the second movie, they said they wanted to make 3 films total, I hope that stays true.

[@bizzaroblake2519]

Or perhaps the puppet is where garret is. Sometimes the names change in the series regarding the movie so they could definitely do it here.

I think it’s too early to tell what it is, maybe we’ll get some insight sometime before the second movie, or maybe it’ll come out in hints from the usual sources (leaks, ARG posts, etc). I am mostly taking the message at face value by seeing who didn’t show up through the whole film, and Garrett is the most obvious one. I think the movies aren’t going to be as complicated in story telling like the books and games are, because it’s going to be shown to not just the community, but introducing it to the rest of the world, which also makes me think more that it’ll be revealed that Garrett is calling out to “come find” him. Of course, just a theory I’m thinking, so I can agree that it could be the puppet.

I saw the movie yesterday, and enjoyed it so much, and really thought they did a great job re-imagining the story for the big screen. I went with my wife who hasn't ever seen or played fnaf and she even enjoyed it. I do love how they added so many Easter eggs throughout the film, like Sparky the dog, but they did it in a very subtle way that it really was for the hardcore fans to find, and the non-fnaf fans wouldn't notice it, and just think it was a bunch of random parts, but not be confused by it at the same time.

[@erikawithaknotac]

Another book parallel I noticed was how Abby showed the kids what really happened using a drawing, something Carlton does in the final act of The Fourth Closet. Also, Aunt Jane being an obvious reference to Charlie’s Aunt Jen in the novels. Who knows, maybe mike’s dad was Henry and Garret became the puppet? That could be a really cool parallel and also a fantastic setup for a finale. I’m curious if they’re gonna do anything with Baby, that would be awesome

OHHH the drawing thing is a neat reference, you're right!! Although I'm not entirely sure if Aunt Jane is based off Aunt Jen, at least personality-wise? Aunt Jen in the books is strict but genuinely cares for Charlie, whereas Aunt Jane clearly only wants to take Abbey for her own selfish benefit. Who knows though! I do really love the idea of Garret being the Puppet, though!

[@unforeseeable2.058]

Here's a few other cool details that folks might've missed. (spoilers) - At the ice cream shop in the mall, there are a lot of rainbows with googly eyes and a happy face. This is a reference to Chica's Magic Rainbow from FNAF World - Afton playing the role of Phone Guy also references one of Game Theory's early FNAF theories that states that Purple Guy is Phone Guy. - Speaking of Game Theory, as you saw, MatPat is the waiter at Sparky's and his nametag reads "Ness," a reference to his Sans is Ness theory - The thug who gets killed by the cupcake was wearing a shirt with Midnight Motorist on it. Midnight Motorist is a minigame in FNAF6. - Vanessa being William's daughter may seem like a reference to Elizabeth, but his treatment to her as wanting her to become his successor directly parrels with Vanny and Glitchtrap in FNAF VR and Security Breach

I had the same experience! The theater I went to was fully packed and I saw a couple of people wearing cosplay (some girl wore a cute Freddy costume that I loved). Everyone also clapped at the end of the movie and a lot of people sang along with the song! It was an amazing cinema experience!

[@ExcaliBurstOfficial]

Another really good hint of foreshadowing that I figured out is that William Afton in the beginning of the film has a very SPECIFIC outfit! Though it is washed out, his plaid shirt is a slight YELLOW, with his tie being PURPLE. Seems like a huge hint of foreshadowing that he was Springtrap, huh? Another thing I also realized, is that when he was reading Michael's name, he hesitated on the last name. This also hints that he recognizes the last name (since it was Garrett's last name as well) SHOWING that he in fact did have something to do with it in the beginning of the movie.

[@sweep_swoop]

At first I thought it was implying Michael Afton, but ended up noticing what it actually meant later on lol

[@comicbooknerdisme]

I agree this was recognition but on first watch, I thought it was just a callback to the games, where people believe Schmidt is a fake name, he’s actually Mike Afton, and how in the encyclopedia, it’s just “Mike” But Schmidt is called out later in the film

[@klwlzy]

I loved this movie with everything in my heart. As a long time fan that has been watching fnaf content for 8+ years, I love the way it was brought to the big screen. The small differences between the characters was amazing, animatronics were done so perfectly. The Sparky/ dog animatronic, balloon boy, shadow Freddy, the one doll thing from the books was so cool to see. It had me clapping and screaming “oh my god look!🫵🏼”. Matt pat trolling us and seeing him show up had me freaking out lol. The story being a bit different didn’t bother me at all. The only thing that kinda got to me was how short Spring Bonny/ William Afton’s scenes were and that he didn’t really scream as much when getting Springlocked. I bet it would’ve been more graphic and scary if it was rated R. I give it a 9/10, really good film and can’t wait for the sequel. ʰᵉ ᵃˡʷᵃʸˢ ᶜᵒᵐᵉˢ ᵇᵃᶜᵏ

[@PurpleFlames87]

That got me too. I expected the same amount of screaming that I hear all the time from the fan-rendition scream people use for the spring lock scene where he's doing a lot of screaming and struggling the whole time. Movie William was so calm, lol. Even if we can infer he was spring locked one before like book William was, I'm sure getting spring locked again would still really hurt

I have a feeling that Mike’s Brother could be the puppet. Considering Afton needs places to hide his bodies and we don’t hear anything about the location of Garrett’s body, It’s likely. But again this all depends on when and where they are going to set the timeline of this trilogy. Regardless, there is much potential and I for one cannot wait to see what comes next! 🐻🐥🐰🦊

[@PurpleFlames87]

I'd hope that Garrett would have a lore purpose. I also wonder why he was taken at a park instead of Freddy's. Maybe this is a reference to how Charlie was killed outside and William sped away afterwards? Also, I just realized that he had a black car in the movie instead of the iconic purple cause purple would've been too obvious to fans. The style is about what you'd expect, though, since it looks about how people imagine William's car in Midnight Motorist

[@boollye]

same. there's also some other things: garrett's kidnapping seems very full of purpose -- why else would william go out of his way to kidnap a kid at a camping site? he also acted very weirdly when he saw mike's surname at the start of the film. like sure, he could have recognized that he was talking to the big brother of that one kid he killed once, but considering the circumstances in which he took garrett... maybe there's something more to it the whole situation is also very, VERY reminiscent of charlie's kidnapping in the silver eyes trilogy and considering how in the games charlie is the puppet... well.... who knows

Here's also another thing that I noticed(could be wrong), but with the whole thing with Mike insisting to find a way to get his brother back and finding out who took him seems to strongly resemble Charlie and her twin that was taken in the book series where she wouldn't stop trying to figure out who took him and would always feel "closer" to him when she was around those old locations just like Mike Schmitt is feeling in the fnaf 1 location in the movie.

One thing you didn’t mention was the ghost kid luring Max to the back room saying “follow me”, a pretty common phrase said by Shadow Freddy in the FNaF 3 mini games.

[@phoenixvalentina3741]

One of the guy's shirt from the burglars was midnight motorist. The way Abby convinces the gang that William was the bad guy using the drawings is similar to a scene from the books where the exact same thing happened. And when the final shot of springtrap lying broken in the backroom and the ghost just leaves him there is just like the ending of FNAF 3 where the ghosts causes the springlocks to snap and then they left him twitching in the back room. Vanessa being revealed to be William's daughter was a fan theory for a while since in the AR game she was apparently credited with having "A" as her last name. Also last fun one, I loved Freddy's kill because I thought he would bite her head, since, ya know! But the cut in half was even better.

I think Garret is The Puppet, it actually kinda makes sense! With the element that it was a kill outside of the pizzeria, it’s earlier and possibly William’s first kill, the visions shown to Abby being shown from Garret to help her along, why in particular Mike was so attracted to that one spot (not just because Willam operated there), but maybe because Garret’s soul is there, and also “Come Find Me” is to a character in specific and I think that’s either Mike or Abby. So in the end, unless Vanessa has a strong connection to Charlie, I think making him the Puppet is a PERFECT rewrite for this series!

I loved the fnaf movie. i do understand that casuals might not like it that much, but the target audience was the fans. and the fans liked it. i'd say Scott and Blumhouse achieved their goal.

[@JustaMisterEnteringSociety]

I will say I'm not a hardcore know-it-all fan but I know the premise of the games and characters, I loved it.

[@LoMovieMaker99]

The rainbow from FNAF world Dawko!! I’m surprised you didn’t mention that! It was when Mike was going to order the ice cream/frozen yogurt at his first security job in the mall.

7:59 When he said that everyone in the theater I was in cheered and screamed

[@Furyisdead46]

Same with that and the part with matpat

[@PaintChaosh]

I, as a hardcore (maybe veteran, around FNaF 2 being in production) fan, I already cherish the movie; even if I see the flaws now that flew right over my head. And yet æiterally everything- to the characters, the acting, the cast, the easter eggs- the fact this is more of a thriller than a horror- everything; was so good! And the ending. It was so amazing seeing this in my theater. HAH and I did it without any of my friends or family! Edit: Reword as some words were missing

[@patchric4620]

I don’t think I’ve had that much fun in a movie theater ever and ever will in the future. The entire theater was dressed up in costumes and the reactions to all the different moments were priceless.

[@bluespheres078]

A couple things I noticed! In Steve Raglan’s office, the box from FNAF 4 is on a shelf right behind him, and on the wall where all the drawings are, there’s a picture of a Goomba, Mario and a Koopa troopa to the right!

[@Rakkiankh]

Foxy's humming was apparently done by Kellen Goff. The guy is literally everywhere in this franchise now

[@Intotheforest17]

I'd like to make it known that in the fourth closet, the way that Carlton turns the missing children against Afton is the same way Abby did. Drawing a picture. Just thought it was interesting that there were a lot of connections to the silver eyes trilogy.

9:29 I didn't hear the music in the cinema cuz when the audience people where screaming 😅 And this is AMAZING!!!

[@TopatTom]

Haha fortunately my ears heard it

[@complex2live]

I didn't notice this at all. All I heard was TLT's song

[@magicalmercy]

I had such fun watching the movie! I went with my siblings (who don’t know much about fnaf) and we had an amazing time! I caught so many of the references that nobody else seemed to catch, lol. The novel references and other callbacks were stellar!

[@StarvinMarvin828]

A lot of people believe the Puppet is in the film, and it’s in the shot where Mike is shining the flashlight on the robots when they are on the stage, when chica is shined on, and you brighten up the shot, eyes are apparently lurking to the side of her, but that could also just be Tina the endo.

[@grachisol8236]

If I’m not mistaken there are puppeteers credited for puppet and golden Freddy.

[@zarajenking]

I loved all the little easter eggs in the film, so glad that they did the animatronics justice and hope to see more films on the franchise cause this film shows it's possible and can be done well!

[@pandie_cube]

I can safely say I am a hardcore FNAF fan that has been here since 2014! This movie was amazing with all the easter eggs, jumpscares and atmosphere; I loved it so much! Thank you to everyone part of the team who made this dream come true♥️ Nearly lost it when I heard the FNAF song by TLT at the credits 😭

[@ddbunnies]

fr bro i almost cried during the credits

[@pandie_cube]

@@ddbunnies So true and I think everyone did as well, it was such a surprise! 🥹

[@vyvx.x]

[@Markus.420]

I'm surprised nobody has mentioned this so far but, in the beginning with Mike in the mall just before he attacks the father for dragging off his son the place he's ordering from HAS THE RAINBOW FROM FNAF WORLD AS THEIR LOGO. I was so flabbergasted seeing that goddamn rainbow when i watched it for the first time.
