Welcome, Freddy Fans (and a special welcome to parents who are trying to figure out what the heck their kids/kids’ favorite YouTube theorists are raving and/or theorizing about). This brief starter based on the lore behind the Five Nights at Freddy’s games aims to make the over-complicated story as least confusing as possible. So…
It all began with five kidnappings/murders of innocent children. Many theories point to Purple Guy, or William Afton, as the culprit, but it’s kinda obvious that he is. Mr. Afton apparently lured them to a back room, while wearing the costume of one of the mascots, so as to gain these unsuspecting kids’ trust. He was labeled as a suspect later on, who was then arrested and charged. Not one body was found, and the poor, innocent victims of this terrible event were presumed to be dead.
Not too long after this horrific time, Freddy Fazbear’s Pizzeria’s customers complained about the disgusting odors in the restaurant, as well as reported what seemed to be blood and mucus around the eyes and mouth of the animatronics. This implies that the bodies of the murdered children were stuffed into these animatronics, and I’m pretty sure no one that saw this blood and mucus thought of that or had the courage to even check (I know I wouldn’t–blech!).
If you notice Phone Guy’s call on the first night of Five Nights at Freddy’s, he will say that if you were to be stuffed in one of the suits (and how would he know about being stuffed into a suit when no one else has even considered it, unless…), “the only parts of you that would likely see the light of day again would be your eyeballs and teeth, when they pop out the front of the mask.” Doesn’t that remind you of one of the Bonnie death screens that you get after you’re jumpscared by him (in the first game):
