* The [[http://i.imgur.com/t5rUjGF.png?2 Puppet.] It's a [[NoodlePeople long, spindly]] black creature, with a ghoulish white face - with ''[[PurpleIsPowerful purple]] [[ArcSymbol tears pouring out of its eyes]]'' - and striped [[CreepilyLongArms extremities]].

** The [[http://i3.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/000/861/802/71d.png teaser image]] that originally showed what the Marionette was is particularly creepy, with it hanging in a dark room staring at the camera.

** The Marionette plays [[OminousMusicBoxTune Pop Goes the Weasel]] before jumping at the player.

* The [[http://i.imgur.com/t5rUjGF.png?2 Marionette]] (also known as the puppet creature, mentioned several times on this page.) It's a long, spindly black creature, with a ghoulish white face and striped [[CreepilyLongArms extremities]]. Its title comes from the cross and strings it's connected to.

** Even worse, [[spoiler:remember the whole "five dead kids" plot point? While it is now confirmed that Golden Freddy was used in the actual killing, Marionette is heavily implied to have ''some'' role as well, possibly even TheManBehindTheMan.]] Which, in an ironic sense and fitting way, means there's a puppet pulling the strings.

** What makes the Marionette even creepier? Let the music box run out then flash the light in the room as it does (recommended during the first two nights so the other bots won't get you). [[spoiler:He actually slowly comes out of the box with each flicker before going back in at the last notes, as if he winding up to ''come for you''.]]

**** Consider the '''part''' of the song that's playing: [[spoiler:''Ninety years without slumbering / tick tock, tick tock / his life seconds numbering / tick tock, tick tock / it stopp'd, short, never to go again / when the old man died.'' The music box is essentially counting down the seconds you have to live before the music stops...and the Marionette springs out to kill you.]]
** One very, ''very'' unsettling 'blink-and-you'll-miss-it' detail is in the Marionette's kill screen- In the VERY last split second before your screen fades to static, ''[[http://img3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20141113215048/freddy-fazbears-pizza/images/6/6e/AngryPuppetCloseUp.png its face turns into an angry expression.]]'' The fact that this is the ''only'' time its expression changes is very disturbing to say the least.
** The fact that it's implied to be ''sentient'' by Phone Guy, who says "It's always... thinking.", despite supposedly being a robot, makes it possibly the creepiest character in the series. That, coupled with the fact it is seemingly the only undeniably malevolent one out of the Fazbear Crew ([[spoiler: And the final 'dream' sequence implies it reprogrammed them and is still around in the first game]]), is terrifying.
* The [[NightmareFuelColoringBook creepy drawings]] in general. The children have seen horrors that might make you think twice about going to Freddy's. One drawing features Bonnie, Chica, and Freddy with hollow eyes and creepy grins, and one shows the old Chica towering over a child opening her gaping mouth. And then there's Golden Freddy, the destruction of Foxy 2.0, and the Marionette... And Scott said that he doesn't include details for no reason.

** Old Bonnie's death screen is notable, since it only has one arm now it grabs you in a '''choke hold''' with its single arm and presumably carries you off to be stuffed into a suit. It's also possible that Old Bonnie might actually be trying to outright kill you by suffocating you to death, and considering Old Foxy's death screen makes it look like he's trying to bite your head off.....
* The 4th Night cutscene shows Old Bonnie and Chica now peering straight at Freddy with ''angry'' faces, showing '''''completely hollow eyes.''''' It looks as though you failed to protect them and let them down -- or something tampered with them. [[spoiler:And at the end of the cutscene, you will see ''Golden Freddy'' and the words "It's me" come up again.]] Apparently, Golden Freddy, [[spoiler:inhabited by either the murderer or the Marionette]], has turned the animatronics against Freddy.

* Good news, the mask works on the animatronics, both new and old! Bad news, Foxy is not tricked by it, and neither is the Marionette!
** And there's even more! The puppet will leave you alone, and he won't roam around like his friends, as long as the music box keeps playing. If you forget to wind it up often enough? Then you should do it before he comes out and kills you!
* There's a minigame that plays occasionally when you get caught by Freddy. You control a person who apparently feeds kids with the subtitles "Take Cake to the Children." Given the implications, it's suitably scary.

** The very last of these buffers? It involves [[spoiler:the Marionette]] staring at you dead in the eye, ''moving its head whenever you move yours''. Due to the fact that the being staring at you is [[spoiler:the Marionette]], this could come with some [[FridgeHorror really disturbing implications]].
** From those same interludes we get the return of TwoWords: [[spoiler:it's me.]]
* If the post-death minigames are telling the truth, [[spoiler:The Puppet might be the Murderer! There is a minigame that first says "give gifts". As the Puppet, you do as he did at the Prize Corner and give them gifts. Then, it changes to "give life"...and you place the heads of Freddy, Foxy, Chica, and Bonnie on the slumped-over figures of the children, and just as you finish, you get a Golden Freddy jumpscare. By the way? Golden Freddy was ''confirmed'' in this game to be the ''suit the murderer wore'', and it has been altered to show it is animatronic in nature. ''Only one of the bots could have used it''.]]
** Those aren't random Atari noises during the minigames, either. That's a mechanical voice saying letters in a specific sequence. [[WhamLine It's]] ''[[WhamLine spelling.]]'' [[spoiler:[[FallenHero SAVE THEM.]] [[TragicMonster HELP THEM.]] [[HeWhoFightsMonsters SAVE HIM.]]]]
** Speaking of those minigames! Let's talk about three in particular. [[spoiler:The Cake-Giving game, the Chasing game, and the Give Gifts game. The Cake Giving minigame has Freddy occupied with entertaining kids, while just outside, a man pulls up to a child left alone and apparently kills him, while ":SAVE HIM" is being spelled out. In the Chase minigame, Freddy is chasing the Puppet/Marionette down a bloodsoaked hallway, while "SAVE THEM" is being spelled. At one point, Freddy can be stopped by a guard[[note]]One [[WhamShot holding]] [[UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom a]] [[BigBadFriend phone]][[/note]] who says "you can't", and if you follow the other all the way, it leads to the Prize Corner ''where a dead child is''. Finally, there's Give Gifts/Give Life, wherein the Puppet/Marionette stuffs the kids into the suits. You see how this connects? Remember how Phone Guy said the bots were getting antsy around adults but still good with kids? This makes it seem as though Freddy ''tried to stop the murders'' and was blocked off by a guard. However, note that both the guard (discerned by his badge) and the purple man who murdered a child in the Cake Giving game look similar.[[note]]Though that might be ''[[TheBadGuysAreCops because they're the same person.]]''[[/note]] ''The animatronics may not be able to tell one adult from another''. In which case, if they held the guard responsible for the murder...]]
*** Phone Guy did say, right after [[spoiler:the murder]] took place, that [[spoiler:one of the day watch shifts had opened, and referred to not disclosing information regarding previous employees. ''The day guard may have been implicated for the murder''. If Freddy and crew can't tell one guard from another, and they believe that a guard was responsible, that just as well may be why they go after the night guard!]]
* Perhaps the scariest part of all of this: [[spoiler:TheReveal. FN@F2 is a ''prequel'', taking place during the week of the murder and with Night Six implied to happen ''just'' before the Bite of '87. However, the animatronics were ''already killers'', and Phone Guy states that they've been trying to get at the Night Watch before! Hell, the old Freddy's mascots -- the ones you had to stave off? -- they had ''already been scrapped once before'', and the original Freddy Fazbear's Pizzeria had already been ''shut down for years''. '''How long has this been going on?!''']]

** What's even scarier? [[FridgeHorror The realization]] that [[spoiler:the stage is in fact the party room from the first game, so ''the Marionette has somehow survived and was in the first game.'']]
** Remember how the words "IT'S ME" blared across the screen whenever Golden Freddy just showed up? And that Golden Freddy had glowing pinprick eyes like the puppet in the final cinematic? That leads to one thought. [[spoiler: ''[[FridgeHorror The Puppet was inhabiting the Golden Freddy suit in the first game.]]'']] This is especially supported by the fact it's shown very blatantly [[spoiler: Golden Freddy]] is in fact an animatronic in the sequel (you can see wires for God's sake) so unless the wires were utterly removed entirely and whatever were protruding are just remnants, how exactly would anything that isn't [[spoiler:already an animatronic]] be able to wear and maneuver the suit without killing itself? [[spoiler:Yeah, and the Puppet is shown stuffing kids into animatronic suits so there's that too…]]
** And this [[http://i.imgur.com/mkaZkRl.png image]] from the VideoGame/FiveNightsAtFreddys subreddit confirms that the box ''is'' still around.

* The fact that on [[spoiler: Custom Night]] you can't [[spoiler: change the Marionette's AI is pretty creepy]]. You can [[spoiler: change the AI of Golden Freddy, who may not even exist, but it's the Marionette who is incapable of being tampered with? What even is that thing!?]]

** The Marionette. Being so tall, thin, and having a really creepy mask for a face, it's amazing that children love this thing so much. He must give out some spectacular prizes...

[[caption-width-right:350:'''[[ArcWords S. A. V. E. T. H. E. M.]]''' [[note]]you can't[[/note]]]]

** And this [[http://i.imgur.com/mkaZkRl.png image]] from the FiveNightsAtFreddys subreddit confirms that the box ''is'' still around.

** Then there's Chica. She always stands in a scarecrow-like pose when she's hunting for you, allowing you to see the stumps she now has for hands, and the mess of wires falling from them. But then there's her face. Her god-damn ''[[NightmareFace face]]''. Her large, lid lacking eyes always staring at you, [[MoreTeethThanTheOsmondFamily her robotic teeth combining with her costume teeth]], the fact that her jaw is only hanging on by the wires connecting it to the head...somehow, that fact that you can somewhat make out the true endoskeleton head inside makes it ''even worse''.

** Which implies another level of FridgeHorror. Since [[spoiler:the Phone Guy was presumed killed during his recording for the 4th Night in the first game]], if he was the murderer, then he is receiving a KarmicDeath at the hands of the animatronics. But the animatronics are lashing out at all adults because they think ''every'' adult is the murderer, not knowing they've finally done away with the real killer.

It shows how mangled [[note]]This was eerily prophetic, the entry was written before Mangle's name was known[[/note]] it is, and makes its functionality even more horrifying.

** [[FromBadToWorse It gets worse.]] There is evidence that suggests the pizzeria from the first game is the [[spoiler:third or even fourth incarnation of the restaurant.]] Something happened in the [[spoiler:first incarnation]] that was likely the five murders that made the old animatronics haunted in the first place. As [[spoiler:the death minigames can happen before the murders happen.]]

* In addition to new attack animations, the robots also appear to make a new sound when attacking you. It sounds less like [[spoiler:a digitized cry of a child]] and more like a mechanical '''''roar.''''' Some think it's a distorted cry of "FREEDOM!"!!!

** Speaking of rare chance occasions: most of the mini games will play out the same every time... except for "The Chase". Make sure you're ready for a [[http://youtu.be/2jLG5CkPZf0?t=25s surprise guest appearance]] by [[spoiler:the Purple Man.

** What makes the Marrionette even creepier? Let the music box run out then flash the light in the room as it does (recommended during the first two nights so the other bots won't get you). [[spoiler:He actually slowly comes out of the box with each flicker before going back in at the last notes, as if he winding up to ''come for you''.]]

Go [[NightmareFuel/FiveNightsAtFreddys2NonCanon here]] for fanwork related examples. Go [[NightmareFuel/FiveNightsAtFreddys here]] for its predecessor.

** Finally, there's [[EldritchAbomination Golden Freddy]]. An unsettling shade of yellow, missing an ear, [[EyeScream wires coming out of an empty eye socket]], [[WallSlump creepy posture]], [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking dirty teeth]]...yep, this thing is haunted all right. Sometimes, he decides he doesn't even need a body to scare you, and appears as a GIANT floating head in the halls. Is it little wonder he was used [[spoiler: by the murderer]]?

* The phrase "IT'S ME" that frequently showed up in the first game was theorized to be referring to Freddy or [[spoiler:the murderer himself]]. Well, [[spoiler: the Night 4 cinematic]] [[http://img4.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20141120210317/freddy-fazbears-pizza/images/thumb/8/8c/Cutscene.png/800px-Cutscene.png proves otherwise...]]

* [[http://img4.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20141111125921/freddy-fazbears-pizza/images/a/a9/Kid%27s_Cove.png New Foxy]]. Not merely ragged, one looks to be nothing but an endoskeleton put together wrong with only their mask intact. Made worse by the fact that New Foxy was torn apart so many times by kids that the staff just made it a Build-a-Robot attraction. Because of that, it's literally named "Mangle", both in-universe by staff and in the [[spoiler:custom night screen]]. The disturbingly realistic eyeballs among all that carnage doesn't help.

** Balloon Boy (or BB) is the odd one out, and it shows. He looks like a regular human ([[UncannyValley kind of]]), and ''actually speaks'' while he's moving (just things like 'Hi' or 'Hello', but it's still extremely weird to hear another voice besides Phone Guy's.
