History NightmareFuel / FreddyFazbearsPizzeriaSimulator

** A major cue to the fact that the animatronics are ready to attack is a subtle sound that begins playing beneath the audio prompts you're meant to be playing. Molten Freddy's faceplates clicking together, Scraptrap's still-beating heart. Scrap Baby's chain-like hair swaying after a sudden movement, and the restraints in Lefty's body tightening to prevent the Puppet from escaping. All of them are, in some way, twitching and fidgeting in anticipation at the chance to jump you and scramble into the ventilation.

** Springtrap was already rather terrifying even ''before'' the series delved into voice acting... and now that it has, he's gotten ''worse''. Springtrap is voiced by PJ Heywood, who voiced his previous identity William, and his son Michael, only this time with a GutturalGrowler tone that barely hides [[SoftSpokenSadist any of]] [[ForTheEvulz his emotions.]]

* The teaser in ''The Freddy Files'' shows us Baby's new look in much greater detail. She's got a massive claw-hand, wires protruding from her torso with eyes attached to them, realistic human hair, [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking and a crown]].
** Several fans have noticed that the above mentioned claw-hand bears a heavy resemblance to the mechanical claw that extends from Baby's stomach to [[EatenAlive pull Afton's daughter inside herself and crush her to death]] in the ''Sister Location'' mini-game. Given that Baby was torn apart to form Ennard and then put back together after being ejected, there's a good chance it could be the very same claw.

* Some of the new animal animatronics fall directly into UncannyValley.
** A special mention to the Music Man regarding this — he isn't an animal, sure, but that doesn't exactly make his design any better, [[SpiderLimbs with his six legs,]] [[BlackEyesOfEvil black eyes,]] and [[SlasherSmile unnervingly wide grin.]] You can't even really tell what he is...

* Molten Freddy. Just... Molten Freddy. To elaborate, he is what's left of [[VideoGame/FiveNightsAtFreddysSisterLocation Ennard,]] having taken Funtime Freddy's heavily decayed faceplates and modified them to its... [[ScaryTeeth own]] [[NightmareFace image]]. Since we hear nothing from the other remains of Ennard, it can only be assumed that Funtime Freddy is the one SoleSurvivor, with the other A.I.s having burnt out. Plus, it's also implied that ''[[BackForTheFinale he has the original 5 murdered children with him.]]''

* '''''[[NothingIsScarier Lefty.]]''''' He's first shown in one of the creepy children's drawings in the office — a shoddily drawn, black and red Freddy with no left eye, his head unnaturally tilted to the side with his mouth wide open. But considering the more [[MonsterClown pressing]] [[BodyHorror issues,]] one creepy drawing is easy to ignore. Then, at some point, the Rare Finds Auction catalogue is unlocked — probably around Night 3 or 4. Look through the catalogue, and Lefty sticks out like a sore thumb. For one, despite being surrounded by items easily in the ten-thousands range, Lefty's price by default is ''five dollars.'' And while his entertainment value is nine, his liability risk is also nine. That, combined with his [[RedAndBlackAndEvilAllOver lovely color scheme,]] [[ObviouslyEvil will make any sane player avoid purchasing him.]] Cut to the end of Night 4, and guess what animatronic is up for salvaging... yup, it's Lefty. Which means that [[HauntedTechnology he's either possessed]] [[AIIsACrapshoot or has a malevolent A.I..]] And he's '''''just as important''''' to Cassette Man's plan as ''Baby, Molten Freddy, and '''[[BigBad Springtrap.]]''''' Oh, and it becomes horrifying in the good ending. Baby, Molten Freddy, and Springtrap are shown burning up — but not Lefty. ''[[FridgeHorror Where did he go?]]'' [[ParanoiaFuel Did he survive the fire?]] Honestly, what makes him so frightening is that [[MysteriousPast we know next to nothing about him,]] and yet he seems to be a key player in everything...

* There's a deadly implication with Baby having "all of those little souls in one place" and continuing in her father's footsteps. Had Baby's plans gone right, they would have used the souls to possess the Rockstar Animatronics and start a whole new generation of terror throughout the Freddy's franchise. Good thing that restaurant was a decoy.
** Even worse, she could have even used parts from some of the cheaper animatronics to repair Springtrap's body and become a father-daughter team with him, which she even implies a desire for in her dialog after Night Five. The family that slays together, stays together, as they say...
* How 'bout the fact that Springtrap, Baby, Freddy (Ennard minus Baby), and Lefty (The Puppet) are able to move around on their own and just purposely plant themselves outside the seemingly brand-spanking-new pizzeria, just waiting for some poor sap to carry them in so they can continue their reign of terror in a brand new Fazbear location? These guys just can't help themselves! Though given what the Cassette Man says in the Good Ending about the Puppet, her intentions at least were probably more noble and pure than the others.

** The sound when you're almost out of time. [[HellIsThatNoise It sounds like a loud car alarm...]]
* The salvage sections at the end of each night are rather unnerving. [[AloneWithThePsycho You sit directly in front of a killer animatronic,]] testing their responses to... [[HellIsThatNoise not very pleasant noises...]] while said animatronic is not-so-subtly preparing to murder you. Thankfully, there's a bit of NightmareRetardant, because you get a taser to defend yourself with. That being said, if you end up failing...

While ''4'' and ''Sister Location'' are often seen as the scariest of all the games, ''Pizzeria Simulator'' manages to outdo '''''all five games[[note]]or [[VideoGame/FiveNightsAtFreddysWorld six]][[/note]] that came before it''''' — with frightening as ever mechanics, ''absolutely terrifying'' character designs that are out there even for this series, utterly chilling lore revelations that make the story darker than it ever was before, and the simple fact that it lays within a seemingly innocent facade that left the ''entirety'' of the fanbase fooled... as the GrandFinale to the games as a whole (for two years, at least), ''Freddy Fazbear's Pizzeria Simulator'' pulls out as many stops as it can to make the series go out with a bang... [[JumpScare and many screams]].

* The jumpscare scream. In the first game, it was a child's scream, in the second, a garbled robotic yell, a zombie-like hiss in the third, a combination of the first and third in the fourth, several uniquely different robotic screeches and roars in the fifth... and in ''this'' one, it's a reverberating, ''roaring'' mechanical scream that just reeks of the presence of a '''''ABSOLUTELY LIVID''''' MechanicalAbomination having finally caught its prey.

''"Come to Candy Cadet again, and maybe I will tell you a story?"''

--> ''"I am the Candy Cadet. Come get your candy here. I have candy all day, every day. [[BrokenRecord Candy. Candy. Candy.]]"\\

* Candy Cadet, a purchasable attraction for your pizzeria, seems just a little bit... off. It should be just a cheerful talking candy dispenser, but its robotic monotone and vague promises of a future "story" as it slowly looms toward the camera are unsettling. If you talk to him enough times, you'll hear the story in question. It's about a woman who was given the SadisticChoice to select only a single key in order to save 1 of 5 children. In her desperation to save them all, she melted all 5 keys into 1. Unfortunately, all this did was make the keys useless, meaning that she had doomed all 5 kids to certain death. The story is made worse by Candy Cadet ominously moving closer and closer to you as it tells it.

** What's worse, randomly when you die or boot up the game, you're treated to an image of the animatronics sitting outside, slumped over and just ''waiting'' to be brought in. [[https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/freddy-fazbears-pizza/images/f/f1/Lefty_Alley.png/revision/latest?cb=20171207221430 Lefty]], [[https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/freddy-fazbears-pizza/images/5/5c/Scrap_Baby_Alley.png/revision/latest?cb=20171207221431 Scrap Baby]], and [[https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/freddy-fazbears-pizza/images/8/89/1913.png/revision/latest?cb=20171207221431 Scraptrap]] are all lifelessly resting on a wall, while [[https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/freddy-fazbears-pizza/images/5/51/Molten_Freddy_Alley.png/revision/latest?cb=20171207221432 Molten Freddy]] is lying on itself, giving a view of the mess of wires that it is, but now showing that it has ''[[EyesDoNotBelongThere eyes all over its body]]''. In addition, one of the posters on Lefty's image has [[NightmareFace quite possibly the scariest render of the Puppet to date.]]

** Essentially, ''this'' is the reason why the animatronics were haunted to begin with. Baby had remnant on her. The original five had remnant on them. The ''[[BigGood Puppet]]'' had remnant on it. And it's completely possible that every other animatronic had remnant painted all over them...but it also raises another question about Springtrap. Was his [[KarmicDeath birth]] truly a gruesome accident on his part, ''or did he just DieLaughing and was actively DrivenToSuicide'' to have the remnant bind his soul to the suit because of there being no other way out of being cornered?

* '''''[[NothingIsScarier Lefty.]]''''' He's first shown in one of the creepy children's drawings in the office — a poorly drawn, black and red Freddy with no left eye, his head unnaturally tilted to the side with his mouth wide open. But considering the more [[MonsterClown press]][[UncannyValley ing]] [[BodyHorror issues,]] one creepy drawing is easy to ignore.

*** Cassette Guy did, to ensure the Puppet would be there. As questionable as his methods are, [[GrandFinale he wanted it all to end.]] No more haunted animatronics. Good or bad. No exceptions.

* Fruit Maze: Starts off as an innocent ''VideoGame/PacMan'' knockoff involving a girl running around a maze collecting fruits and kittens. As you play, you occasionally see the reflection of a little girl (seemingly the player) beaming happily. But on the second play, the game starts to glitch out and her expression becomes a more concerned one. By the third play, the game is totally crapping out to the point some of the power-ups won't work. The kittens are also seemingly dead and bleeding. The character is leaving bloody footprints and the reflection of the little girl looks to be crying. The level is unbeatable, and after time runs out, the screen turns off revealing '''Spring Bonnie''' behind the girl in the reflection. Who states that "He's not dead" and to "Follow me". We probably just watched William Afton lure off one of his victims...

* The car minigame has its own ending, and it's...''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mkl4zxaNuro not nice.]]'' To elaborate, it reveals that the driver of the car is some type of orange-colored man similar to Purple Man/William or Michael (depends which), but also seems to be an {{Abusive Parent|s}} judging by how he talks about his own child, whoever he is. It immediately gives chilling vibes just from how ''[[TruthInTelevision real]]'' an issue like this can be.

** The hidden segments of the minigame are already creepy, but a special mention goes to the hidden screen, which... [[NothingIsScarier is entirely empty, save for a pile of dirt]]. Why is this location relevant? What happened in there?

* The Puppet's minigame starts out with you having to watch a child with a green wristband, even though none seem to be in sight. Eventually, though, the minigame takes a bit of a delay because a couple of kids weighed down the Puppet's spot with a heavy box and [[KidsAreCruel locked the girl with the green wristband out in the pouring rain.]] If that weren't enough, when you get out of the box to get the girl, it's already too late; you go out in the rain and get progressively worse before you lie by the girl's corpse, murdered and dragged into the alley. The Puppet was never the nicest of the animatronics you faced, and now you know why — he was forced to watch a child he was explicitly charged with protecting disappear into the night and die by William's hand. Worse still, the bullies who left her outside to be snatched by Afton [[KarmaHoudini suffer no consequences]] for effectively having gotten her killed.

* The jumpscare scream. In the first game, it was a child's scream, in the second, a garbled robotic yell, a zombie-like hiss in the third, a combination of the first and third in the fourth, several uniquely different robotic screeches and roars in the fifth... and in ''this'' one, it's a reverberating, ''roaring'' mechanical scream that just reeks of the presence of a really, ''really'', '''''really''''' pissed-off MechanicalAbomination having finally caught its prey.
* Looking at the first of the insanity files reveals that the Scooper doesn't just, well, scoop animatronics, it puts something in them too. What thing is that? Something apparently called remnant, which seems to be super-glue for ''souls''. This raises a ''shit-ton'' of questions, like: how was it discovered? Why is Afton using it? Does anyone ''else'' know about remnant?
** Essentially, ''this'' is the reason why the animatronics were haunted to begin with. Baby had remnant on her. The original five had remnant on them. The ''[[BigGood Puppet]]'' had remnant on it. And it's entirely possible that every other animatronic had remnant smeared all over them...but it also raises another question about Springtrap.

** The conversation ends on what appears to be Baby's side as she says "I can put myself back together". Even if she was puked out of Michael Afton and then was forcibly removed from Ennard, [[TheDeterminator Baby is far from done]]. This should give you an idea of how scarily persistent she can be. And sure enough...
