Removed a mention that something doubles as a Tear Jerker when the third-level bullet attached explains why it isn't. Deleted a chunk debating back and forth which Freddy something is. Nightmare Fuel isn't for speculation and guesses


** Another thing to chalk up to the tech improvements was how we saw Springtrap just twitching and ''thrashing'' against the wall in the trailer. Not only did it have the feeling of the {{undercrank}} shots of the animatronics in the first game, but the damn thing looks like it is in ''excruciating'' pain. He looks like he's getting an electric shock or having a seizure. Doubles with [[TearJerker/FiveNightsAtFreddys3 Tear Jerker]].
*** Until you realize it's The Purple Guy, after being trapped by the suit's spring locks.

** Even if you ignore the FridgeHorror of the brightened image, the Balloon Boy teaser is outright ''terrifying'', even by this series' standards. Just those giant soulless eyes staring straight at you, the relentless happy smile, and the fact that he appears to be covered in ''blood and viscera'' prevents some from looking at it for more than a minute or two.

** Apparently, seeing Mangle in the cam triggers it to start making noise as it did in ''2'', although it doesn't stop after you put the camera down. Oh, and 30+ years have ''not'' been kind to its [[https://youtu.be/TXDW0YcGzbU voice box.]]
*** It doesn't help that it causes an audio error, stripping you of your means of fending off Springtrap.

** Something else to note: [[http://i.imgur.com/C7Z9jIc.png In this pic]], you can see the crying paper-plate doll from [[VideoGame/FiveNightsAtFreddys2 FNAF 2's]] "Party Room 4" (believed to represent Bonnie) above the box of animatronic parts. It shows up after the hallucinations end. But here's why this little factoid belongs in the Nightmare Fuel section: '''it wasn't there earlier in the night.'''
* The game over. All you get is a static screen with the words "GAME OVER" on top of it. [[NothingIsScarier Nothing else.]] So what the hell does Springtrap ''do'' once he gets his hands on you?
** Considering who's inside it, probably a grisly death we don't even want to begin to imagine.

** What makes it scary is that you can't even tell which Freddy this is. Is this supposed to be Original Freddy, Golden Freddy, Shadow Freddy, or something [[GreaterScopeVillain worse?]] Sure, it doesn't do anything, but still...
*** Let's see... this Freddy isn't black or purple and it doesn't have glowing teeth, so it can't be Shadow Freddy. So it's either the original Freddy or Golden Freddy.
*** Actually, the game files confirm that it is, indeed, Shadow Freddy. Doesn't make it any better: This bastard helped William destroy the original four animatronics, and now he's here too, 30 years later! At least he doesn't do anything.
*** I'm pretty sure Shadow Freddy was helping the ghosts by tricking the killer into freeing them.



* On the anniversary of the first ''FNAF'' game, Scott put up a bunch of renders on his website. Most of them were of the animatronics or the various offices in the series, but for the [[http://imgur.com/YNMEDKB last one]], we get a ''lovely'' look of Purple Guy's true remains.
** To be more specific to those too sensitive to look, we see his red, mummified head positioned just as in the game proper (eyes pushed out, mouth speared open)....and if you look down, you see that his skin has been shredded to ribbons, and whatever is left of his organs and muscle has been tangled around the center of the endoskeleton or squished between its sections, completely indistinguishable from each other. How in the WORLD did that suit accomplish THIS?

* The way Springtrap can close in on you leads to a lot of ParanoiaFuel. This includes seeing him peer into the window then ducking out of sight and ''actually seeing him run past'' your monitor when it's raised. Oh yeah, and like ''FNAF 2'', ''there are no doors'' to protect you. If you see him peering into the room from the office entrance, [[YouAreAlreadyDead that's pretty much game]].

*** The worst part is that this version would actually be ''unrealistic''! What would realistically happen is that immediately when the spring locks go off, your vocal cords would be crushed and your lungs get impaled, crushed, and lots of other bad things, so a more accurate version would be a quick, loud yelp, followed by nauseating gurgling as Purple Guy '''drowns to death in his own blood'''. The worst part is that he would literally be unable to even try to call for help.

*** You might think Purple Guy deserved to die the way he did. Fair enough. But then you remember Phone Guy says an ''unfortunate accident'' at a sister location made the spring suits be recalled. He says they are not to be worn under any circumstances. Which implies that what happened to Purple Guy happened before to an employee who was most likely completely innocent and who was just doing his/her job. Now watch any of the two videos mentioned above again with this in mind. Still satisfied to see and hear that?

** Worse, it seems as if all that's left is his skull. Every single other bone in his body is just...''gone'', and all that's left is his organs, and small figments of muscle tissue. If he were sealed for any longer than 30 years, then his corpse would have been rotted away from the suit completely!

** Those hallucinations? Every single one is a {{jump scare}}. The animatronic appears in the room before rushing into the camera and going negative before fading. Scott found a legit excuse to use twice the jumpscares without interrupting the night.
