You'd think that a series of analogue horror video remakes that are only a couple years newer than their source material wouldn't have much room to include anything scary that wasn't in the original videos. Thanks to Adaptation Expansion, you would be wrong.
As a Moments subpage, all spoilers are unmarked as per policy. You Have Been Warned.
- Battington's redesigns of the animatronics look much closer to real life animatronics, most namely the ones featured at Showbiz Pizza Place. This, along with the more realistic and janky movements of the characters, results in a lot of Uncanny Valley and really elevates the fear factor of the videos, as they feel much more realistic.
- "Fazbear_Entertainment_Video_Manual.mp4"
is mostly the same as the original video, but has an unsettling addition at the end: Freddy's blood-spattered, shadowed face staring directly at the camera as a low droning sound plays. - "Bonnie_Joint_Movement_Test.mp4":
- The video opens with a videotape recording of a stage show where Bonnie is malfunctioning. Bonnie is completely motionless aside from the occasional twitch, with his head tilted to one side. Meanwhile, his mouth is agape and he still seems to be looking at whoever's filming. The bunny's malfunction is fairly realistic, but still comes off as unsettling.
- After the test of Bonnie's eyes goes awry, the technician uses a strobe light to attempt to either find or slow him down, to no avail. He doesn't reveal himself until after a musicbox-esque tune stops playing; only then does Bonnie rush towards the camera in a series of choppy frames as he lets out a mechanical roar.
- The first scene of "Sound Response Check" depicts a young girl hiding from Chica in the bathroom. She's quickly cornered in a stall by the animatronic chicken, loudly refusing to "go home" and outright stating that Chica's scaring her. Chica doesn't acknowledge her fear whatsoever, opening the stall door and reaching towards the girl while emitting the exact same laugh over and over.
- "Pirate Cove Pre-Show":
- As the showtape repeats itself, the footage becomes increasingly unsettling. The framerate and audio quality start degrading rapidly. Meanwhile, Bonnie, Freddy, and Chica's parts in the stage skit are gradually replaced with still images of the bloodied animatronics covered with censor boxes while strange noises play instead of dialogue. And the segments at the end with cheering children have fewer kids present every repeat...
- The fourth repetition has Chica's singing turn into the shriek of the girl she killed in "Sound Response Check" partway through, with her image becoming a purple garbled mess as it happens.
- After the fifth repetition, the segment with the cheering children is instead replaced by a slow reveal of William Afton in the Bonnie Bun suit behind the five empty chairs with eerie music playing, while taunting Foxy, only this time his voice is incredibly deep and calm, compared to Squimpus' rendition.
- The viewer then is greeted by a Jump Scare of the five murdered children sitting in the chairs, with their faces distorted, covered in stab wounds and big, black, empty eyes, with bloody tears pouring out. All the while, a loud, distorted music box and the laugh of Afton can be heard in the background. Each child's bloodied corpse - some that appear to have been stabbed in the chest or have had their throats cut - is shown up close one by one, before it Smash Cuts to Bonnie Bun's face and the music and laughing abruptly stops.
William Afton: What's the matter, Foxy? I thought you wanted an audience.- The video ends with a horrified Foxy, standing with his jaw open in total silence, watching a door swing slowly, agonizingly open to reveal an empty Fredbear suit, which collapses into the familiar form of Golden Freddy. A Golden Freddy with a purple noose around its neck, struggling with all its might to escape before giving up and slumping over into its famous form, hanging there dead. A familiar audio starts playing. And the name of the audio is the same as in the original; Aphyxiation.
- "Nonexistent Video":
- One scene shows a stage performance from inside the Fredbear suit, with Bonnie Bon playing the keyboard to his right. The camera briefly swings up to look at the stage lights, only for Bonnie Bon to be staring directly at the viewer when the camera moves back down. The camera them moves to the left, and a Staggered Zoom towards a grinning man in purple lighting occurs as the music and breathing sounds start skipping. Cue Smash Cut to the next scene.
- The next scene is filmed from a person's point of view, and depicts a corridor in the restaurant as a fire alarm sounds and a man's voice states to evacuate the building. A fiberglass animatronic drags itself along the ground and starts looking around, emitting a discordant rendition of "Happy Birthday to You". It appears to briefly power down as it reaches the end of the song, only to perk up and start crawling towards the person and the camera while opening up its faceplates and screaming.
- While the following scene clarifies that the animatronic is Fredbear without his costume and the making-of video states that "Happy Birthday" is supposed to be a "companion call" between Fredbear and Bonnie Bun, these revelations only raise further questions. Namely, why was the Fredbear animatronic active without its costume, and where was the Bonnie Bun giving the response calls?
- The training tape gives us several disturbing details about the springlock suits, such as the suits consisting of tons of locks all around the body, including the back of the wearer's head and each suit part consisting of tons of small springs that are all but confirmed to impale the user if activated. Just who in the right mind would ever want to wear these death traps?
- The empty heads in the background, as well as the Bonnie Bun head used in the training type have obvious blood markings around the eye sockets, likely from previous spring lock victims...
- Several times through the tape, the viewer can spot the eyes of The Puppet hiding underneath the table. She doesn't do anything, she is just... ''there''. Most viewers will likely not even spot her the first time through, making it an effective silent Jump Scare for repeat viewings.
- A few scenes later, the image of the Bite victim is displayed, which suddenly distorts into the same child with a loud static noise, only this time a big chunk of the child's head is missing, where Fredbear bit him, and his eyes are wide open and crying blood. It's only on screen for less than a second, but incredibly startling nonetheless.
- Right after, it cuts to Fredbear's head slowly zooming in, with distorted music and voices in the background. Fredbear's jaw and teeth are covered in blood, but the entire time he is staring directly at the camera with wide open eyes and a truly awful Slasher Smile. Towards the end, the text "I BIT SOMEONE" is repeated over and over, and the video cuts away. Just before the cut, you see Fredbear's bloody maw sink into shadow, and looking very much like Nightmare's jumpscare, glowing red eyes and all.
- Possibly the most infamous scene in the entire video is the springlock failure scene. Unlike Squimpus' video, this time we actually get to see the failure happen on camera, albeit thankfully only briefly. The Puppet tells the viewer to watch, as it cuts to an employee in the Bonnie Bun suit standing in a backroom, before taking a step forward and letting out an absolutely harrowing scream before the scene cuts away. The video then cuts to a quick scene of an employee sprinting towards the backroom door, with the victim's agonized screaming being echoed through the hallway, before cutting away again.
- The employee can be heard breathing loudly and there's a pool of blood behind him on the floor. This suggests that the employee had been in there for a while with an active failure and tried to follow the training tape's instructions, but no one came to help him. When he tried to leave the room to find someone, the one step he took wound up being his demise.
- It's heavily implied that the person shown in the footage is not William Afton, but just a regular Fredbear's employee, dying a slow, undeserved and incredibly painful death even though he tried to follow the instructions. This also begs the question; how many innocent workers have died to springlock failures? Judging by the empty, bloody heads seen earlier, likely quite a few...
- "Motion Detected in Cam_4"
- The video seems to be some unnerving, but not overtly terrifying security footage of Toy Bonnie in the restaurant at night... until roughly the halfway point, when a silhouette seems to roll past that bears a striking resemblance to Toy Bonnie, fully preparing the viewer for a Toy Bonnie jumpscare. Except it isn't. Instead, William Afton appears to jumpscare you as a human, wearing the most evil smile imaginable as the camera glitches.
- The rest of the video consists solely of Toy Bonnie staring at the viewer and singing to the tune of Pomp and Circumstance, occasionally getting closer to the viewer as he appears more and more distorted. However, it's what he's singing that, when paired with how he gradually looks more and more terrified because of the distortion, makes it truly horrific.He found a way inside. He's hiding in the shadows.
He found a way inside. He's hiding in the shadows.
He found a way inside. He's hiding in the shadows.
HE FOUND A WAY INSIDE. HE'S HIDING IN THE SHADOWS.
- The Case of Edward Morris is a video depicting a 15-year old boy who sneaked into Freddy Fazbear's Pizzeria and is looking around the back of the place. He eventually runs into the animatronics, but they don't attack him; rather, Bonnie warns him about William Afton hiding in the shadows, who then ambushes Edward and even mauls him in a similar manner as an animatronic jumpscare.
- BUNNY BUNNY BUNNY is a one minute long video to act as an appetizer for future videos. The image at the start of the video is creepy enough, with Spring Bonnie looking through an open door at the viewer as a creepy old song about rabbits plays, leaving you to wonder when something will happen. But there is no Jump Scare, or any movement at all, save for the image brightening at the very end... revealing that the animatronic in the doorway is actually Fredbear. So where's Spring Bonnie? Well he's there too, hiding in the shadows, watching the viewer the entire time with a knife in his hands.
- "The Horror Attraction"
- The tape follows a man named George attending the titular attraction and recording the experience. A cheesy little dark ride based on local urban legends called Fazbear's Fright.
- The animatronics on display are par for the course, with the usual suspects of Foxy, Chica and Bonnie acting out creepy little bits. Seems innocent enough until the dramatic irony of them reenacting events from the previous tapes with no one any wiser rears its ugly head. There's even a segment dedicated to an animatronic Bonnie Bun taunting someone with the corpses of five children, right down to the exact words he uses to mock Foxy. Whoever made this ride had seen the tapes and decided to actively make light of the murders.
- The big twist of the entire thing? George realizing very quickly he's being trapped in a loop from the moment the ride starts to just after the main attraction is showcased; The SpringTrap. He's teased with exits and inklings of it being a prank before pulling the rug out from under him harder and harder each time, with most of his attempts ending with him walking out of a door and ending up back in his seat at the start the moment its dark enough. It goes on until George is screaming in rage and breaking displays just to see if he can change something to get out.
- One of the animatronics salvaged for the ride was The Puppet... and she's very much not an inanimate prop. Though only emitting an ethereal melody in the video, the subtitles reveal she's trying to say something.
The Marionette:turn back. it' s not too late- Eventually, the forces at play grow tired of toying with George, and let him see just how out of his depth he is by leading him backstage, down a long hall with SpringTrap's storage area off to one side illuminated by a very out of place purple light. However, just before he enters, he hears Vanessa screaming bloody murder further down the hall. He tries to head down it for a moment, but then realizes that the hall is flooding with a black fluid. Activating the night vision of his camera, he sees the gigantic Yellowbear head from the start of the ride staring at him down the hall with blank black eyes before it starts chasing him. Barely making it back through a door it can't fit into, it proceeds to vomit up SpringTrap with the subtitles comparing it to giving birth. George, at a loss for what to do, hops back in the cart, hoping desperately it's still SOMEHOW a part of the ride as SpringTrap stumbles after him roaring and swiping at the air. Before one final drop, it appears George is finally, finally out as it stops at the disembarking platform for the dark ride... and then he hears someone speak from the exit.
SpringTrap: Happy Birthday... to you.
George: WHY WON'T YOU JUST LET ME LEAVE?!
SpringTrap: [SpringTrap lets out a distorted roar.]
