History WebAnimation / TheWaltenFiles

* HardTruthAesop: Despite the shift to outright horror in its adaptation of ''Literatrue/AChristmasCarol'', ''Boozoo's Ghosts'' largely preserves the original morale of the fable about trying to be as good as you can with the time you have.

** After a recent update, adding "/investigation1" shows a picture of an interior inside the Walten family home, alongside a log from a detective named Derek Collins detailing how the investigation of Jack Walten's disappearance has been going...dating to 1977. And the page is titled "Log #785".
*** Another recent update changed it to a photo of a distorted and monochrome close-up of someone's face, with a text reading "[[Theatre/AnythingGoes but now god knows anything goes]]" underneath it.
** Now if you type in "/rocketbunny", there comes what looks like an old camera recording of Rocket sitting in a chair listlessly, mouth opening and closing on loop.

** The [=BunnyFarm=] video game would have been a technological marvel in the 1970s with voiced cutscenes, large maps, and a multitude of mini-games. Being haunted aside, it is also clearly straining under the weight of all of the above with the limited computing ability of the time period.

* StylisticSuck: The show has a very, very budget indie-animation type style which shifts between crudely drawn children's paintings and stylized 1960s-esque paperdolls.

%%** Exaggerated in Bunnyfarm with every character’s death, and [[spoiler: the ending]].

* CruelAndUnusualDeath: Quite a few in this series.

* AccidentalMurder: In '' Bunnyfarm '', it is revealed that Felix Kranken [[spoiler:accidentally killed Jack’s children in a car crash while intoxicated. The next scene is a recorded message from Jack begging to see his children.]]

** Clicking on the “Contact Us Here” button opens a page called “help” (also found by typing "/missing" to the end of the site name), with a picture of a human covered by ripped up pages of deformed features to the left. The screen is then divided into black and white, with “did you forget about me?” in white text and obscured aside from the first word. It,s since been updated to be entirely black, except for the words "see you soon" to the left.
** Typing "/rosemarywalten" brings you to a page called “a beautiful rose”, containing Rosemary’s missing poster.

* BigBad: [[spoiler:Felix Kranken, who was responsible for the deaths of Jack Walten's two youngest children, and is implied to possibly be the killer behind the others who have gone missing in the area.]]

*** Another recent update changed it to a photo of a distorted and monochrome close-up of someone's face, with a text reading "but now god knows anything goes" underneath it.

* ShoutOut: Ignorance and Want share the names of the children who accompany the Ghost of Christmas Present in ''Literature/AChristmasCarol''.

''The Walten Files'' is an AnalogHorror animated series created by [[https://www.youtube.com/c/MartinWalls Martin Walls.]] Similar to channels like ''WebAnimation/SquimpusMcGrimpus'', it's inspired by ''VideoGame/FiveNightsAtFreddys''. However, it makes itself distinct from other series similar to it because it takes place in an alternate continuity with original characters and locations, and it uses a 2D animated art style instead of actual footage.

* ChristmasEpisode: ''Boozoo’s Ghosts'' is [[YetAnotherChristmasCarol a parody of ''A Christmas Carol'']] that goes horribly off-track.
* CompositeCharacter: Bon & Bannie could be considered this to both Bonnie from VideoGame/FiveNightsAtFreddys (both being animatronic rabbits), and Candy & Cindy from VideoGame/FiveNightsAtCandys (a blue male animatronic who is the face of their company and a purple female animatronic as a stage partner).

* HairRaisingHare: Bon & Bannie. Fitting as they're basically [[VideoGame/FiveNightsAtFreddys Bonnie]] expies. [[spoiler: Rocket Bunny might be in the running as well]].

* KillerRobot: To be expected, as it's based off of VideoGame/FiveNightsAtFreddys.

* HalloweenEpisode: "The Mysterious House", a (supposedly) non-canon animated short that employs the usual LimitedAnimation and StylisticSuck style of the series. It follows two new FunnyAnimal characters, Duckie and Tammy, who decide to enter the titular, decrepit house in the hopes of receiving some treats after an unfruitful round of trick-or-treating on Halloween night. [[SurpriseCreepy It goes downhill from there.]]

* PoliticallyCorrectHistory: Has shades of this. Banny, a character created for a show for children in the 80’s, is lesbian, while many characters like Susan, Sophie and Jenny are WLW and seem to have no issues being open about it.

* SyntheticVoiceActor: A lot of the dialogue in the tapes is done using text to speech software.

* PoliticallyCorrectHistory: Has shades of this. Banny, a character created for a show for children in the 80’s, is gay, while many characters like Susan, Sophie and Jenny are WLW and seem to have no issues being open about it.
