History TearJerker / FiveNightsAtFreddys

** [[spoiler: Playing through the sequel and hearing him talk about how he's taking up the night shift, with us knowing what will happen to him when he does so, only makes it worse...]]
* It's heavily implied that the animatronics are haunted by the souls of children murdered violently in the place and perhaps stuffed inside them, which makes people wonder how often the child shows through a given character...

* Yes, ''you'' know the truth. But a lot of kids in-universe adore the Fazbear gang and don't know about the restaurant's DarkAndTroubledPast. They're going to be heartbroken when [[spoiler: the place shuts down for good within two months]].

** Dry those tears, kiddos- now there's a ''sequel''.
** [[spoiler: Keep crying, kiddos -- the ''sequel'' is a ''prequel''.]] But that DOES mean [[spoiler: this place's crawled back from the dead before, and just opened up in a new building...]]

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l18A5BOTlzE Five Night at Freddy's fan theme song]] which supports the theory that the animatronics are haunted, but with a twist. The kid whom is singing the song laments how they just want out and they do not want to be part of a body that they can't control. It suddenly hits you that the singer is implying that he and all of the friends whom are haunting the animatronics are '''forced to watch as they kill or maim people'''. Not only that, but the singer also implies that they just want Mike to run away from this place and never come back, as they recognize that he might actually be the victim of the Bite of '87 or that Mike frequented this place in his youth. They wonder why he keeps coming back....
** Now combine this with the theory that Mike is the sole survivor of the missing children incident and you get another possible answer: Survivor's guilt.
* [[http://youtu.be/1fVmVJoSc-w THE FINAL NIGHT]] has a take on the NotEvilJustMisunderstood approach where after Foxy accidentally murders the night watch, the pizzeria gets shut down and the other animatronics wind up homeless and miserable. This parody is done in an animation style that's highly reminiscent of ''WesternAnimation/SouthPark''.

* Many Tumblrs are saddened by [[http://freddy-fazbears-pizza.wikia.com/wiki/File:NewSCREENSHOT.jpg Bonnie's replacement or redesign]] for ''2'', as it implies that they tore his/her face off and put it in something else.
** Although the TearJerker is lessened when you see that some of the fandom's way of dealing with this is to scream that Bonnie is ''RuinedForever'' because that image '''might''' mean that old Bonnie is deactivated and that new Bonnie (or Bonnie all along) was intended to be a girl via TertiarySexualCharacteristics on the redesign. It is more likely that we will have 2 generations of Fazbear animatronics trying to kill us or the updated versions are even more scary at the very least.
*** Heck with the new guys, it seems like [[HijackedByGanon the old ones will be more of a threat]].
** This is completely averted once you realize [[spoiler: FNAF 2 is a prequel, and thus 'old' Bonnie will end up being used after Toy Bonnie.]]
* Again with Rebornica's tumblr, while there are plenty of funny scenes, there's also a few... emotional ones, alternate universe or otherwise. [[http://rebornica.tumblr.com/post/97307566459/you-were-my-pal-mike-and-i-messed-up-you-have Reb's version of the Bite of '87]], for starters.
* In November 2014, Rebornica created a "spinoff" AU of their AU called "Mike Remembers". [[spoiler:In it, Freddy decides to come clean and restore Mike's memories of the Bite of '87. Mike ''immediately'' suffers a massive HeroicBSOD and furiously and tearfully confronts Foxy. One thing leads to another, and ultimately Foxy goes berserk, decapitating Mike ''while pleading with him to run away''. The final shot is Jeremy stumbling upon Mike's headless corpse before he himself is attacked by Foxy]].

* Occasionally when you die, you'll be made to play certain mini games. These appear to detail events leading up to the original pizzaria's shutdown. It's equal parts terrifying and tragic when reading between the lines. All the while, a monotone voice starts rattling off letters. [[spoiler: S-A-V-E-T-H-E-M]]
