YMMV / Five Nights at Freddy's: VHS Remake

• Even Better Sequel: Battington's remakes of Squimpus' tapes are seen by many as not just worthy successors, but even better than the originals, due to overall higher production values and utilizing original designs and plot elements.
• Fridge Horror: When the ride first stops during "The Horror Attraction", the announcer specifically mentions a "Code Yellow", which is hospital terminology for a missing patient or missing guest. Either George straight up vanished the moment he stepped foot on the ride, or he wasn't Springtrap's only victim that day.
• Growing the Beard: While "Fazbear_Entertainment_Video_Manual.mp4" was praised for its visuals, it was criticized by some, including Squimpus themselves, as being an almost one-for-one copy of its basis. From "Bonnie_Joint_Movement_Test.mp4" onward, the series incorporates more original footage and plot elements, which has been praised by the community.
• Harsher in Hindsight: The sheer vitriol Squimpus exhibited toward Battington after his (admittedly tasteless) April Fools joke, which is what lead to Squimpus revoking their permission for him to remake the rest of the series, became this after Squimpus was outed for grooming an underage user on Discord, as it destroyed any moral highground they might have had over Battington.
• Hilarious in Hindsight: "Late One Night At Fazbears Frights" features Springtrap as an attraction wielding a large butcher knife. As it turned out, the movie has a similar idea, with William Afton also wielding a large butcher knife while in his Spring Bonnie costume.
• Narm: "Pirate Cove Pre-Show" conveys the situation getting worse by having the quality of the videos degrade between repetitions^note The FPS of the final Foxy segment can be counted on one hand and gradually replacing the animatronics' dialogue with still images and droning sounds. For some viewers, this creates Surreal Humor that wouldn't be out of place in a YouTube Poop.
