The Janitor

The Janitor

Portrayed by: Nicolas Cage

• Action Survivor: The story focuses on him having to survive being killed by murderous animatronics with little more than janitorial supplies. He succeeds.
• Almighty Janitor: A janitor who is also Inexplicably Awesome. He not only fulfills his end of the bargain and cleans up the place, but he's an unstoppable badass that not even killer robots have a hope of putting down. And he plays a mean pinball.
• Ambiguously Trained: While we have no hint of The Janitor's past beyond dog tags on his rear-view mirror, his quick and efficient method of dealing with the murderous animatronics and his high tolerance for pain hint that this ain't his first rodeo. His position and method of neck-kneeling is also a textbook military fighting move.
• Badass Normal: A regular janitor vs a group of killer animatronics. Turns out, they don't even stand a chance and sorely underestimate his skills.
• Blood Knight: When Ozzy Ostrich strikes The Janitor early on, he cracks a grin. And throughout the film in general there's a sense he might be enjoying the Hell of the situation.
• Bunny-Ears Lawyer: The Janitor is a very eccentric man with his silent, soda-chugging ways but he does his actual job (cleaning the place) impeccably, and that's without even going into how scarily competent he is in hand-to-hand combat and pinball playing.
• Car Fu: He kills Tito Turtle by ramming into him with his car.
• Clothing Damage: Every fight with an animatronic either destroys his Willy's Wonderland T-Shirt, gets it dirty, or both. Fortunately, there's a whole bunch of them in the janitor's closet, so he just gets a new one each time.
• Cold Ham: Nicolas Cage is just as insanely over-the-top as always, but manages to do so while also being a completely silent, stoic badass.
• Combat Pragmatist: While it's heavily implied that he does have a code of honor of sorts, (even though his combat pragmatism is justified anyway given the situation he's in), he's very fond of using an Improvised Weapon like a broom handle, plunger or a bag of soda cans to defend himself. Also, while disapproving of trying to shank a dormant opponent, like Liv tries to do to Siren Sara, he's not above the occasional sucker punch against somebody currently in the fight but concentrating on somebody else, such as when he starts attacking Knighty Knight from behind while he's busy menacing the teens.
• The Comically Serious: His total emotionlessness combined with the scenario and his positively bizarre sense of priorities lead to a ton of these moments.
• Curb-Stomp Battle: Delivers these to pretty much every opponent in his path, with Willy being the lone exception in round 1. Special mentions go to Arty, who he outright lifts and throws to the ground before pummeling the shit out of him, snapping his jaw, and ripping his tongue out.
• Duct Tape for Everything: In the absence of actual medical supplies, the Janitor just uses duct tape as his universal bandage/splint. It works pretty well, as any handyman could tell you.
• Due to the Dead: Respectfully covers the bodies of Liv's deceased friends.
• Genre Refugee: Willy's Wonderland is a Z-Grade Slasher Film with a gimmick. Or at least it would have been if Nicolas Cage wasn't in it, as the kind of Action Hero you would see in a movie with bikers and Gun Porn in it.
• I Gave My Word: A big factor in The Janitor's decision-making process. After he shakes hands with Tex Macadoo, the Janitor treats all of Tex's instructions as sacrosanct commandments. Even after it's made unequivocally clear Tex is a dastardly double-crosser who duped him into entering a death trap, The Janitor utterly refuses to disregard or even fall short of any portion of his end of their deal. Since he agreed to spend the night cleaning Willy's Wonderland, not even killer animatronics can convince him to leave before morning. He even treats Tex's suggestion to "be sure to take breaks" as inviolable law, as Liv and Cammy Chameleon can attest.
  Tex Macadoo: Here's my offer: you spend the night cleaning Willy's Wonderland, and I will pay to have your car fixed. By morning tomorrow, you come out of there, and your ride will be right before you, right there. Deal?
  [Later]
  Tex: Congratulations. You are officially on staff... Well, pal, it's going to be dark soon and I'll be back in the morning with that car of yours, dapper and ready to drive, or my name is not Tex Macadoo! Help yourself to whatever you can find in the kitchen, it's on the house, and be sure to take breaks. Always good to pace yourself. That's it! Good luck.
• Horrifying the Horror: It's not much of an exaggeration to say that the haunted animatronics grow to be downright terrified of the guy as he goes to town on them, with Tito Turtle and Siren Sara outright intimidated into inaction as he stalks past them with a wounded Cammy Chameleon being dragged behind. Averted with Willy, however, who just hates him outright.
• Implacable Man: The Janitor is beaten, sliced, and slashed in a multitude of ways but it barely slows him down. Slap some duct tape on the injury and he's back to work.
• Improvised Weapon: The Janitor takes out the animatronics using either his fists or any object he can get his hands on to use as a weapon. Special instances include killing Gus with a toilet plunger and beating Willy to death with a burlap sack full of Punch Cola cans.
• Inexplicably Awesome: It's never actually clarified how The Janitor is such a badass, particularly when the animatronics go through everyone else like a knife through butter. All we know about him is that he drives a muscle car through the United States, drinks soda, loves pinball, and he's the most unstoppable killing machine in a thousand-mile radius (including the animatronics). He has dog tags hanging from his rearview mirror, so presumably, he was in the Army. However, the Army tends not to bother with training its soldiers on how to kill robotic ostriches with a mop, which leaves us back at square one.
  • Some of the moves he uses also show a military background, particularly his handcuffed neck-kneel.
• Mugging the Monster: The animatronics think he is easy prey. The truth is they might be easy prey for him.
• Mysterious Past: The Janitor's capacity for violence and utter indifference to the bizarre circumstances surrounding him seem to imply he's been involved in some very strange situations in his past, but nothing is ever made of it. The one hint we get is the dog tags hanging from his rear-view mirror which possibly indicates that he was an Army veteran. The prequel comic book shows that his brother was killed by the animatronics and implies that he has spent years looking for him, but otherwise reveals absolutely nothing else about The Janitor.
• Neck Snap: He gives this to both Cammy Chameleon and Siren Sara. The latter was only incapacitated by it while the former was killed by it.
• Nominal Hero: He does stop the animatronics' reign of terror, but only because they attacked him first and because he has been tasked to clean the restaurant they reside in. He had no idea about its history, and when he does (assuming he listened to Liv's story), it doesn't seem to impact his motivations whatsoever. He has a few Pet the Dog moments though, such as taking Liv under his wing at the end of the film.
• No Name Given: Whatever his name is, it's never revealed to the audience. The film and credits alike just refer to him as "The Janitor".
• One-Man Army: The Janitor is trapped in an abandoned restaurant with a group of haunted killer robots known for butchering everyone they see, and not only survives the night but handily puts the deranged automatons out to pasture once and for all.
• Outside-Context Problem: To the animatronics. They're shown to be deadly dangerous to normal humans, capable of cleanly bisecting someone with a single swipe, with the town only able to placate them by throwing outsiders to them as sacrifices. It does not matter. He takes them down near-effortlessly.
• Parental Substitute: After Sheriff Lund is killed, he takes Liv to live with him.
• Pay Evil unto Evil: His approach to the haunted animatronics is uncompromisingly brutal and ends with them being killed savagely, gruesomely, and with no mercy. Considering that each of the robots is possessed by an Ax-Crazy undead Serial Killer with a long list of victims behind them, few are going to be calling foul on his actions anytime soon.
• Punch-Clock Hero: Off his break, the Janitor dutifully cleans the place and kills animatronics, including and especially any of them that are threatening the other protagonists. On his break, he just... stands there, drinks a can of soda, and plays pinball, only mildly perturbed by the horrified screaming around him. At one point, he's even about to square off with Cammy... but then his break timer goes off, and he just looks at Liv and back at Cammy, then hands Liv the knife he took from her earlier and walks off.
• Refuge in Audacity: A lot of the movie's Black Comedy comes from the Janitor's far-from-normal actions, so much so that the antagonistic animatronics don't know how to react in time. Unlike other victims who usually ran away at the sight of hostile animatronics, the Janitor had no qualms about attacking the animatronics. This gave him an edge against most of the animatronics who had little to no experience in self-defense.
• Skewed Priorities: Fighting off the deadly animatronics is, throughout the entire story, actually the Janitor's secondary concern. His #1 goal in the film is to clean up Willy's Wonderland itself so he can earn his car back—every time he's done scrapping one of the animatronics, he invariably changes up his shirt, cleans up the carnage, and gets right back to work until the next hiccup. It comes to the point where he quite literally walks away from a fight with an animatronic to go on his break. By the end of the film, he's cleaned the restaurant from top to bottom and disposed of the animatronics.
• The Stoic: He isn't phased in the slightest by the animatronics, dispatching them all with brutal efficiency. The most he ever emotes during the film are a few Bring It-type smirks to the animatronics, bestial screams of rage while he's beating them down, and him getting waaaaay into the Willy's Wonderland pinball machine.
• Strong and Skilled: He's strong enough to fight what are effectively robots hand to hand (robots that, if Willy's any indication, can cleave a person in half effortlessly), and skilled enough to wage a one-man war against them.
• Terror Hero: He's the silent implacable One-Man Army who tears his enemies in the most brutal of ways and a lot scenes frame him as the unrelenting force of nature who absolutely terrifies those he fights against. He's also the unambiguous Big Good of the film facing against monstrous Ax-Crazy Hostile Animatronics and despite his Nominal Hero status his morality is easily the cleanest out of the named adults in the film.
• There Is No Kill Like Overkill: Seems to be his approach to the animatronics, as he goes to great lengths to absolutely brutalize the animatronics. Justified since his opponents are robots and can get up from some injuries that would be lethal for a human.
• Trademark Favourite Food: Punch Cola. He keeps many cans of it in the trunk of his car, brings a sack full of them into Willy's when he starts his job and drinks one every time he takes his break.
• Tranquil Fury: Even when he’s fighting his actions speak louder than words, not even emoting or saying anything outside of grunting and screaming in exertion or pain as he brutalizes his mechanical foes without mercy.
• The Voiceless: The Janitor goes the entire film without a single line. He is capable of Voice Grunting and screaming in both pain and effort, so he's at least capable of making sounds. For whatever reason, he just chooses not to speak.
• Villains Act, Heroes React: The man kills animatronics without a shred of mercy and with enough brutality to make Doomguy jealous, but he'll only do so if they pick a fight first, whether it be with him or with someone else. Doesn't matter how many have already tried to kill him, he's content to leave the rest alone as long as they extend him the same courtesy. He also stops Liv from stabbing Siren Sara while the latter is in a dormant state and confiscates her knife, even though Sara had attacked Liv just a few minutes ago, so he clearly disapproves of taking cheap shots and would rather fight his opponents fairly.
• Would Hit a Girl: He has no qualms thrashing both Cammy Chameleon and Siren Sara. To be fair, they were monstrous killers.

Sheriff Lund

Sheriff Lund

Portrayed by: Beth Grant

• Anti-Villain: Subverted. She's only sacrificing outsiders to Willy's Wonderland so they wouldn't leave their restaurant and kill townsfolk. Unfortunately, she's too scared of Willy to understand that the Janitor is more than capable of fighting the animatronics and tries to help Willy instead by sacrificing the Janitor.
• Asshole Victim: She gets brutally murdered by Willy by being sliced in half. That being said, she was a Small-Town Tyrant who was willing to have numerous innocents killed.
• Deal with the Devil: Sheriff Lund makes one with Willy, setting up a scheme with the other townsfolk to lure and trap outsiders in the Wonderland for the animatronics to feast on in exchange for leaving them and their families alone.
• Dirty Cop: She is willing to have innocent people murdered by the animatronics in her misguided belief in stopping the killing spree.
• Dirty Coward: She tries to sacrifice the Janitor to Willy to save herself from getting killed by Willy for all the other animatronics being destroyed. This backfires as she gets killed by Willy anyway.
• The Dragon: She was this to Willy as she offered to feed various people to him in a Deal with the Devil. Unfortunately for her, Willy kills her after she unsuccessfully tries to feed him the Janitor.
• Evil Old Folks: Is a Small-Town Tyrant that's been aiding and abetting the undead Willis and his fellow animatronics in their crimes for a long time, and is getting on in years.
• Even Evil Has Loved Ones: Liv is the only person she remotely cares for.
• Evil Cannot Comprehend Good: She does not see the Janitor as heroic for destroying the killer animatronics, instead holding him at gunpoint and trying to feed him to Willy as payback for it. This backfires as she gets brutally murdered by Willy in return.
• Half the Woman She Used to Be: She gets sliced in half by Willy.
• Hate Sink: She is a self-righteous Small-Town Tyrant who lures various people inside the titular abandoned restaurant, convincing them that they need someone to fix the place when in actuality is having them become unwilling human sacrifices to the killer animatronics. After the Janitor — the last person who was sent to fix the place — takes care of the situation by destroying the animatronics, Lund handcuffs him and tries to feed him to Willy herself while using the other teens' deaths as an excuse to do so. Needless to say, the audience won't feel bad for her when she gets sliced in half by Willy himself.
• Hypocrite: She claims that she is having the Janitor murdered by Willy to stop the killing spree, but she stops the Janitor from actually trying to end the killing spree by destroying the animatronics.
• It Gets Easier: In the prequel comic, Deputy Lund was disgusted by the Sheriff taking a bribe, showed concern for the rest of the posse when the Sheriff was willing to abandon them, and was horrified by the Necessary Evil of feeding people to the animatronics, managing to get a little girl spared by Jed. By the events of the film, Sheriff Lund has become so jaded that she no longer cares about anyone or anything other than Liv.
• Karmic Death: She gets killed by Willy after trying to sacrifice the Janitor to him.
• Knight Templar: She believes that having Willy kill the Janitor will stop the former's killing spree, ignoring that the Janitor was already successful in defeating the other animatronics. Liv calls her out on this when she leaves the Janitor handcuffed in the building.
• Lack of Empathy: She couldn't care less about any of the teens who were slaughtered by the animatronics. If anything, she would use their deaths as an excuse to feed the Janitor to Willy.
• Never My Fault: Blames the Janitor for the deaths of Liv's friends, despite her letting the animatronics roam and murder innocents for years before he had shown up.
• Not-So-Well-Intentioned Extremist: Along with the other townsfolk, she claims that she is trying to find a human sacrifice for Willy to stop the latter's massacres. That said, when the Janitor takes care of the situation by thrashing the animatronics, she has no problem feeding him to Willy and could have just as easily destroyed Willy's Wonderland herself.
• Oh, Crap!: Has this reaction upon realizing Willy is right behind her before getting brutally butchered by him.
• Parental Substitute: To Liv. She adopted after finding her alone in the building with her parents murdered.
• Pet the Dog: Though she doesn't care about any of the other teens getting killed by the animatronics, she immediately rushes over to the building upon hearing that Liv is there.
• Small-Town Tyrant: She has a Southern accent despite being a sheriff from Nevada and she's primarily responsible for the deaths of countless people by sacrificing them to the animatronics.
• The Unfought: She isn't fought by Janitor, being killed by Willy because he wanted to fight the Janitor on his own.
• Too Dumb to Live: It's truly astonishing how she managed to blatantly ignore the fact that The Janitor is capable of easily killing Willy's crew one by one, to the point that she could have just sat back and waited for the man to end their reign of terror once and for all, thus making all her attempts to offer him up as a sacrifice completely unnecessary. Plus, it would have also saved her from Willy's wrath.
• You Have Failed Me: She tries to offer the Janitor as a sacrifice to Willy one last time after the former had already killed all the other animatronics. Willy, not having it, slices her in half in a Tranquil Fury.

The Teens

The Teens

Portrayed by: Emily Tosta (Liv Hawthorne), Kai Kadlec (Chris Muley), Caylee Cowan (Kathy Barnes), Terayle Hill (Bob McDaniel), Christian Del Grosso (Aaron Powers), Jonathan Mercedes (Dan Lorraine)

• …And That Little Girl Was Me: It's revealed that the little girl in the opening scene, who witnessed her parents being killed by the animatronics, was Liv.
• Dogged Nice Guy: Chris seems to harbor an unrequited crush on Liv. He dies before anything is made of it, but Liv is noticeably more crushed by his death than anyone else's.
• Heel–Face Door-Slam: Liv seemingly convinces Evan to do the right thing and save the Janitor, only for Tito Turtle to kill him before he can return to Willy's.
• Meaningful Name: Liv is the final girl twice over. Liv lives.
• Morality Pet: Liv is this to Sheriff Lund. When Chris calls for help, she hangs up; when he leaves a voice message saying Liv is with them, Lund grabs a shotgun and heads out.
• Mr. Exposition: Liv lays out the entire backstory behind Willy's Wonderland and the murderous animatronics in one long flashback-laden Info Dump.
• Ms. Fanservice: Kathy, the curvy blonde of the group who's very aware of her attractiveness.
• Nightmare Fetishist: Kathy, who openly admits to being turned on when she finds the room where Willy lured families to their deaths.
• Sole Survivor: Liv is the only member of the group to survive the events of the film.
• Team Power Walk: The group gets a nice line-up shot when they arrive at Willy's, to make them look all menacing and dangerous. See Too Dumb to Live below for how well that turns out.
• Too Dumb to Live: The entire group, including Liv, are pretty much re-enacting the stereotypical slasher victims. Their decision-making is mindboggling.
  • Knowing beforehand that Willy's Wonderland houses hostile animatronics that can kill them, the teens enter the place with absolutely nothing for self-defense.
  • They let themselves get distracted listening to Willy's song about slaughtering them, failing to notice that the other animatronics had left their spot.
  • They don't understand there's "safety in numbers", and split up in the entertainment center.
  • Chris tries reasoning with Cammy Chameleon without taking any precautions.
  • Bobby and Kathy decide to have sex in the entertainment center, specifically in the room where the cannibalistic staff of Willy's Wonderland used to murder families.
• With Friends Like These...: Bob tries to leave once Liv goes inside Willy's to rescue the Janitor, and him, Aaron, and Dan disparage Chris for his crush on Liv, claiming he's only going along with her to seem like a hero.
• You Monster!: Liv says this to Sheriff Lund when the latter handcuffs the Janitor to feed him to Willy.
  Liv: Is that what you did to my parents? You're a monster.

The Animatronics

The Animatronics

Portrayed by: Jiri Stanek (Willy Weasel), Taylor Towery (Cammy Chameleon), Chris Schmidt Jr (Tito Turtle), Christopher Bradley (Arty Alligator), Jessica Graves Davis (Siren Sara), Duke Jackson (Knighty Knight), Bill Bussey (Gus Gorilla), B.J. Guyer (Ozzie Ostrich)

Voiced by: Èmoi (Willy Weasel), Madisun Leigh (Cammy Chameleon), Abel Arias (Tito Turtle, Ozzie Ostrich), Jessica Graves Davis (Siren Sara), Mark Gagliardi (Gus Gorilla) ^note  Arty Alligator and Knighty Knight are voiceless.

• Alliterative Name: All the animatronics at Willy's Wonderland have names like this. Willy Weasel, Gus Gorilla, Siren Sara, Ozzie Ostrich, Knighty Knight, Tito Turtle, Arty Alligator, and Cammy Chameleon.
• All There in the Manual: Their origins are all revealed in the prequel comic book by American Mythology Productions.
  • Jerry Robert Willis: A photographer, he killed four families who hired him, though other than that, very little is revealed about him except that his father is dead, going by him saying, "Call me Willy. Mr. Willis was my father. God have pity on his wretched soul."
  • Sara: A children's ballet instructor, she caught her fiancé having sex with her best friend and killed both of them in a psychotic fit before dancing onto stage with the corpses while drenched in blood and announcing, "Th-th-th-that's all folks."
  • Gus: A zoo employee, he preferred the company of apes to people, and was institutionalized after he beat his Mean Boss to death in an Unstoppable Rage.
  • Arthur "Arty" Allen: An art teacher turned Mad Artist serial killer with a penchant for biting, he was nicknamed "The Bloody Banksy."
  • "Cammy" Love: A woman with Dissociative Identity Disorder, which recontextualizes the scene in the film where she acts nice towards Chris. Also the older sister of Jed Love.
  • "Tito": A migrant worker, he slaughtered his co-workers after they "disrespected" his Sturdy and Steady Turtles.
  • Ozzie: A serial killer called The Midnight Strangler, he murdered over twenty co-eds due to being warped by his abusive mother, who would choke him as a form of punishment, scarring his neck and rendering him The Speechless, at least until he became Ozzie Ostrich.
  • Knighty Knight: A Renaissance Fair employee who hacked a pair of hecklers to bits, landing him in the Hayesville Sanitarium.
• Amazing Technicolor Wildlife: Applies to four of the six animal animatronics. While Ozzie and Arty are both the colors you’d expect from their species, Gus is green, Willy is orange, Tito is blue, and Cammy is pink, which are not the type of colors you’d expect on those kinds of animals.
• Artsy Beret: Arty, true to his name, is dressed as a painter, with a smock and beret.
• Asshole Victim: All of them are brutally dispatched by the Janitor (aside from Siren Sara, who blows herself up, and Tito Turtle, who is beaten down by Liv and then run over by a car). They deserve it since they were responsible for the murders of innocent men, women, and children.
• Ax-Crazy: They are immensely bloodthirsty and sadistic. To emphasize this, many of the victims seen were simply mauled and left to rot, indicating that they killed less out of hunger and more out of bestial savagery.
• Bait the Dog: Cammy Chameleon pretends to be the Token Good Teammate to lure Chris into a false sense of security before killing him.
• Big Bad: Willy, being possessed by the twisted Serial Killer founder of the restaurant, whose equally depraved staff also possesses the animatronics.
• Bitch in Sheep's Clothing: as alive, they were portrayed as jolly child-friendly staff folks during the time of Willy's first opening when in reality, they are monstrous child killers.
• BFS: Knighty always carries around a sword that is almost as long as he is tall, and he uses it to kill Aaron by impaling him through the chest. It also proves to be his undoing when the Janitor gets his hands on it and uses it to behead him.
• Butt-Monkey: Tito. Though he does manage to kill two people, he gets beaten up by Liz after escaping the restaurant, and he gets the most humiliating death of all the animatronics.
• Call a Pegasus a "Hippogriff": Siren Sara is a fairy rather than a siren or a mermaid.
• Child Eater: According to Liv, they have devoured dozens of children in the past.
• Cop Killer: Tito Turtle murders Sheriff Lund’s deputy while attacking Liv and Willy rips Lund herself in half during the climax.
• Curb Stomp Cushion: While the Janitor handily dispatches Ozzie Ostrich once he puts some effort into it, Ozzie still manages to scratch up his cheek, and unlike many of the others keeps fighting back when it's clear the Janitor won't be easy prey. Later, Gus Gorilla is shown to have hurt his ribs, because the Janitor is shown taping up his whole torso after crushing his metallic skull against the urinal.
• Deader than Dead: The original humans killed themselves in a Satanic ritual so their spirits will possess the animatronics. Once they are all destroyed, it is safe to say they are truly gone for good.
• Dirty Coward: It’s telling their only victims have been unarmed civilians despite being mechanical killing machines capable of tearing people limb from limb. When encountering a genuine threat, many of them either try for cheap shots, freeze up or devolve into whimpering wrecks, with the only ones willing to take on the Janitor in a fair fight being Ozzie, Arty, and Willy. And Ozzie didn't fully understand what he was dealing with.
• Dwindling Party: While this can be applied to Liv and her teen friends, this horror movie is one of the rare ones where the villains are not only subjected to this trope but their slaughtering is made the main focus of the movie too! The villains themselves commit the horror victims' common cliche of dividing themselves up to get slaughtered one by one. The slasher-victim dynamic is essentially inverted.
• Even Evil Has Loved Ones: While only vaguely implied in the film by Willy's Tranquil Fury after almost all of his comrades are killed, the comic book prequel makes it clear that the animatronics are all friends and a Family of Choice.
• Fairy Sexy: Siren Sara is a Tinkerbell style fairy in-universe. Her Glasgow Grin makes her animatronic look creepier.
• Family Extermination: When Willis and his fellow murderers were alive, they made a habit of luring families to the happy fun room for a private show, only to secretly murder them there. Post-transformation they’re still partaking in this, making an example of a building contractor hired to demolish the restaurant by murdering him and his entire family in their home, not to mention that many of those unlucky enough to fall for Lund’s trickery included families as well.
• Faux Affably Evil: They may act friendly and jovial while hunting their victims, but none of it is real and only serves to lower the guard of their victims before tearing them apart. Judging from the flashbacks, where they’re posing for photos and acting amiable with the customers while secretly murdering people in the happy fun room, they were also like this when they were human.
• For the Evulz: They don’t have any other motivation outside of being psychotic, sociopathic bastards who enjoy watching their victims suffer as they rip them to pieces. The only time any of them deviate from this is when Willy decides It's Personal and tries to kill the Janitor outright in the climax.
• Final Boss: Willy Weasel is the final animatronic who fights the Janitor. Appropriately, he's the toughest antagonist where the Janitor received his first defeat (before returning for a rematch).
• Gratuitous Spanish: Tito Turtle speaks mostly in subtitled Spanish.
• Harmful to Minors: Siren Sara said to an overweight boy in a flashback, "Wanna fuck, fatty?"
• Hoist by His Own Petard: Knighty ends up being killed with his sword when the Janitor knocks him down and uses it to cut his head off.
• Hostile Animatronics: They are infamous Serial Killers who have transported their souls into animatronics with the use of a satanic ritual. They since have used the bodies of the animatronics to go on multiple killing sprees.
• Haunted Technology: The reason why they're animate and hostile is that they're possessed by the evil spirits of Jerry Willis and his depraved colleagues, using them to continue their murder sprees from beyond the grave.
• I'm a Humanitarian: They contain the souls of the formerly human Jerry Robert Willis and his colleagues so naturally, they count since Sheriff Lund willingly sent a ton of innocent people to be eaten by them.
• Kick The Son Of A Bitch: When Willy murders Sheriff Lund by slicing her in half. Also when Siren Sara blows up both Tex and Jed, who were Lund's two accomplices.
• Knight of Cerebus: Willy himself. He's less (if at all) Laughably Evil than his crew, kills Lund, and wins his first fight with the otherwise-Invincible Janitor.
• Karmic Death: After countless years of brutalizing their victims for little more than sick kicks and terrorizing Hayesville, they pay for their crimes when they try to hunt the Janitor, only for him to quickly turn the tables on and put each of them down for good.
• Last Villain Stand: What Willy's confrontation with the Janitor boils down to. Most of his friends are dead, Lund’s deal has been rendered moot (by his hand), and all he has left is his murderous rage towards the Janitor for completely derailing his plans, so he throws himself into one final battle with the Janitor hoping that he can exact revenge on the man that's taken from him everything he worked for.
• Mook Chivalry: Despite both confronting the Janitor at once, Cammy Chameleon does nothing to help Siren Sara when the Janitor is subduing her. Although, this may have been due to a combination of shock and fear.
• Mind over Matter: Due to being ghosts possessing animatronics they have a certain degree of telekinesis, as Gus Gorilla closes the bathroom stalls without touching them while he’s toying with the Janitor.
• Neck Snap: Cammy Chameleon kills her victims this way with her tongue. Fittingly enough, this is how the Janitor kills her.
• No-Holds-Barred Beatdown: Unlike the rest of the animatronics who are on the receiving end of this from the Janitor, Willy Weasel is the only animatronic who delivered this to the Janitor in the first round... but only to share the fates of the other animatronics in the second round.
• Non-Standard Character Design: Siren Sara is proportioned closer to a human wearing a mask, as opposed to the other seven animatronics being large, bulky mascot costumes.
• Off with His Head!: Knighty Knight gets decapitated by his sword and Willy has his head ripped off to Make Sure He's Dead, both at the hands of the Janitor.
• Oh, Crap!: Ozzy gives this reaction when he realizes the Janitor is an actual threat.
• O.O.C. Is Serious Business: Most of the animatronics including Willy Weasel employed Faux Affably Evil on the victims to unnerve them. However, as the Janitor defeated one animatronic after another, Willy's mood changed. When Willy finally takes action, he was uncharacteristically silent for the rest of his moments, be it killing the Sheriff or engaging the Janitor in two rounds of the fight. It is strongly implied that Willy is far more furious than hungry then.
• Primal Chest-Pound: Gus does it at one point when he's attacking the Janitor in the bathroom. Justified — he is a gorilla, after all.
• Resurrected Murderer: It's revealed halfway through that the killer animatronics that the Janitor had been fighting house the souls of eight serial killers that also worked as staff at the titular restaurant, with the Willy animatronic in particular hosting the restaurant's founder, Jerry Robert Willis. Willis and his associates were part of a Satanic cult in life, and they performed a suicide ritual to tranfer their souls so that they could escape from the authorities.
• Serial Killer: A serial killer and his accomplices founded Willy's Wonderland to serve as a hunting ground. When they were found out, they used a satanic ritual to merge their souls with the animatronics and now kill anyone unfortunate to come across them.
• She-Fu: Siren Sara is quite the acrobat during her hunts.
• The Sociopath: They show no guilt for murdering innocents, including plenty of children.
• Smug Snake: It's obvious from the psychopathic glee that they exhibit when hunting that they think they hold all the cards, but that's only because they're used to preying on scared, defenseless civilians. When someone capable of fighting back shows them the error of their thinking, they either freeze up in terror or beg for their lives.
• Starter Villain: Ozzie is the first animatronic to attack the Janitor.
• Super-Strength: Willy Weasel is strong enough to tear Sheriff Lund in half with a single blow. But still not strong enough to kill the Janitor...
• Taking You with Me: Siren Sara blows up both Tex and Jed, presumably killing herself as well.
  Siren Sara: Thanks for visiting Willy's Wonderland! Hope you had a fantabulous time!
• Token Human:
  • While most of the animatronics are animals there is also Knighty Knight and Siren Sara. However, Siren Sara is a fairy, making Knighty Knight the only actual human in the group.
  • The comic book prequel reveals that Jed Love was helping the animatronics even before brokering the deal between them and the townsfolk, and that he was accepted as a member of the "family" due to his aid and being the brother of Cammy Chameleon. That said, the ending of the film shows that his spiel in the comic about belonging with the animatronics was just a load of crap and that he only helped them out of self-preservation, being happy that all of the animatronics (including Cammy) were seemingly killed by the Janitor.
• Tranquil Fury: Throughout the movie, Willy Weasel was seen with a blank stare but one can almost feel his anger rising as his fellow animatronics got slaughtered one by one. Towards the end of the movie, Willy Weasel stopped caring about the deal he made with the Sheriff and killed her. Then he unleashed his wrath on the Janitor, defeating him for the first time, and even left without eating him. He never spoke a single word to the Sheriff and the Janitor during his rampage.
• Two Girls to a Team: Cammy Chameleon and Siren Sara are both the only females of the animatronics.
• Too Dumb to Live: One would think the animatronics would have either mobbed the Janitor or at the very least feigned inactivity for the rest of his stay after seeing him brutalize Ozzy and Gus with ease. Unfortunately for them, they don’t seem to wise up to this until it's too late for them to do anything about it.
• The Only One Allowed to Defeat You: Despite Lund having the Janitor at gunpoint and dead to rights, Willy ends up killing her in his anger over the Janitor's meddling before attacking him personally, instead of simply ordering Lund to blow his head off.
• The Killer Becomes the Killed: Willis and his sadistic group of Satanists have been spending who knows how many years hunting and ruthlessly murdering anyone unlucky enough to be tricked by Lund and her two co-conspirators. However, the tables are turned dramatically when they try to make the Janitor their next victim and are quickly picked off as he fights back.
• Unskilled, but Strong: They're robots, complete with metal endoskeletons, that typically prey on scared victims. Deconstructed because, as they're used to fighting scared victims, when someone who's Strong and Skilled fights back, they start losing a One-Man War waged against them.
• Villain Ball: The evil Animatronics got a serious case of this. Despite having the advantage of numbers and better familiarity with the place, they choose to fight the Janitor one-on-one. After a couple of the animatronics were destroyed, common sense would dictate that the remaining animatronics should Zerg Rush the Janitor and overwhelm him. But they didn't. Willy Weasel in particular was just staring ominously and doing nothing until the rest of the animatronics were defeated.
• Villainous Breakdown: Willy undergoes a very subtle one. At the beginning of the night, he’s gleefully taunting the Janitor and the teens through song, but as the Janitor kills off his fellow animatronics he eventually clams up and spends much of the movie quietly seething on the stage. By the climax, he’s become so enraged and unhinged that he goes back on Sheriff Lund’s deal, brutally murdering her to vent his frustration at the situation before violently attacking the Janitor with everything he has.
• Villains Want Mercy: Gus begs the Janitor to spare him, only for the Janitor to smash his head against the urinal anyway. Tito Turtle also resorts to begging Liv to stop after she overwhelms and butt-strokes him into submission.
• Villain Teleportation: Siren Sara and Tito Turtle both teleport all around Dan before chowing down on him, and Willy himself pops up right in claw range behind the Sheriff.
• The Voiceless: While the other six animatronics speak at least once, Arty and Knighty don’t speak at all. They probably can, but they never do.
• Walking Spoiler: Jerry Robert Willis and his colleagues possessing the animatronics doesn't become apparent until much later.
• Would Hurt a Child: They have been responsible for the deaths of countless children who have entered the restaurant.
