In April 2022, a joke Battington made involving the creator of ''WebAnimation/TheWaltenFiles'' that was perceived to be in poor taste led to ''WebAnimation/SquimpusMcGrimpus'', whom at first approved of the remakes, [[https://twitter.com/squimpus/status/1514377994462240777 explicitly forbidding]] Battington from continuing said remakes. However, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cON50n1AU1k Battington announced]] in September of the same year that the series would continue via videos with an original plot.

Nonexistant Video doesn't show William dying, the puppet shows the footage and says that the same thing happened to William, meaning that the video shows someone else.

[[caption-width-right:300:READY FOR A RE-RUN]]

In 2019, ''WebAnimation/SquimpusMcGrimpus'' created the ''VideoGame/FiveNightsAtFreddys'' VHS series, retelling the story of [[VideoGame/FiveNightsAtFreddys1 the]] [[VideoGame/FiveNightsAtFreddys2 first]] [[VideoGame/FiveNightsAtFreddys3 four]] [[VideoGame/FiveNightsAtFreddys4 games]] in the form of AnalogHorror-style lost VHS tapes. Two years later, another channel known as [[https://www.youtube.com/c/Battington Battington]] (of ''WebAnimation/HarmonyAndHorror'' fame, which itself was inspired by ''FNAF'') began remaking the videos with a twist, announced [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6TWfyCHuWA4 here]].

While the first video was simply a 1:1 remake of "Fazbear Entertainment Video Manual" using custom models inspired by Creator/ChuckECheese's (in)famous animatronics (and a slight JumpScare at the end), future installments went in a different, more original direction on the advice of Squimpus themselves, resulting in hefty doses of AdaptationalExpansion.

The playlist for the series can be found [[https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL5S08KNkAGHPBZII9UCc7SOM6nysKz2hy here]].
----
* AdaptationExpansion: Starting in "Bonnie_Joint_Movement_Test.mp4", the series goes into greater detail about how the animatronics work and their InUniverse personalities than Squimpus or the main series did. It also uses FoundFootage elements to illustrate "normal" business operations.
* AdaptationalNameChange: Spring Bonnie is known InUniverse as Bonnie Bun in this version, though he is listed as Spring Bonnie in the credits. [[JustifiedTrope This is likely because the suit became known as Spring Bonnie only after the infamous springlock failures]].
* AdaptationalNationality:
** Downplayed, but William Afton has a more prominent British accent when he speaks in "Pirate Cove Pre-Show" than he did in Squimpus's series.
** On the flip-side, Bonnie lacks the English accent he had in Squimpus's "Animated Cartoon" when he speaks in the remake of "Pirate Cove Pre-Show".
*( Bonnie Bun/Spring Bonnie has a notable Australian accent when he speaks at the end of "Nonexistent Video".
* AdaptationalUgliness: More "creepy" than "ugly", but all of the animatronics look more worn-down and unnerving than in Squimpus's series, which simply re-used the models from the games.
* AllThereInTheScript: The strange, corrupted "Happy Birthday To You" cries the Fredbear endoskeleton was making and responding to in "Nonexistent Video" was revealed in the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VpUJ9aAyOi0 behind-the-scenes video]] to be a companion call between Fredbear and Bonnie Bun, possibly to find each other if the two get separated.
* AnimationBump: The series makes greater use of 3D animation for its scenes in addition to using completely original, high-quality models rather than reusing ones from the games.
* AwesomeAussie: Spring Bonnie AKA Bonnie Bun has an Australian accent InUniverse, and is shown to be friendly and jovial.
* BodyHorror:
** The jumpscare at the end of "Fazbear_Entertainment_Video_Manual.mp4" shows some unnervingly realistic-looking eyes and teeth in Freddy's eye sockets and mouth respectively.
** "Nonexistent Video" details how the spring lock suits work, including what happens when they fail. Not only are we shown an [[SarcasmMode adorable]] image of the Bonnie Bun mascot bleeding from the inside as a result of this, but we get to footage of William getting trapped and killed by the Spring Bonnie suit, something Squimpus's series omitted.
* ButtMonkey: Bonnie is seemingly this InUniverse, as Freddy forces him to clean the stage only for him to slip and fall. Judging by Freddy's reaction, this is a frequent occurrence.
* CensorBox: In addition to the one present in the Video Manual, censor boxes are shown in the degraded footage of "Pirate Cove Pre-Show", covering up the children's bodies stuffed in the suits but still showing the blood splattered on the animatronic's limp bodies. [[FreezeFrameBonus For a split second however]], it ''fails'' on Foxy, though we don't see a detailed body thankfully.
* ClingyCostume: It's explained in "Nonexistent Video" that the spring locks can activate if they're rubbed up against too much.
* CompositeCharacter: Puppet's design borrows elements from both its [[VideoGame/FiveNightsAtFreddys2 original]] and [[VideoGame/FiveNightsAtFreddys4 Nightmare]] iterations, having the more feminine appearance and colorful makeup of the former combined with the lean build and BlackEyesOfCrazy of the latter.
* DeadlyEuphemism: Chica tells a little girl trying to hide from her that "It's time to go home baby bird!", moments before killing her.
* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: The first episode, a remake of "Fazbear Entertainment Video Manual", deviated very little from the source material, with the only differences being the updated models and the JumpScare at the end. On Squimpus's advice, future episodes would have much more AdaptationDeviation.
* FoundFootage: A new addition to the remake series, often used to show the business during "normal" operations, such as Bonnie malfunctioning during a show, Chica following a little girl into a restroom, and a Fredbear endoskeleton crawling towards the cameraman (implied to be [[spoiler: William Afton/Springtrap]]) during a fire evacuation.
* HostileAnimatronics: Par for the course for a ''FNAF'' fanwork. Notably, Chica is all but stated to have murdered a child, possibly under the control of William Afton.
* HilariousOuttakes: The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VpUJ9aAyOi0 behind-the-scenes]] for "Nonexistent Video" shows Battington making the endoskeleton and Fredbear models do silly dances while working with them.
* JumpScare: Mostly avoids these like Squimpus's series, but still has a few:
** "Fazbear_Entertainment_Video_Manual.mp4" has a slight one at the end, fading into a shadowed, blood-splattered Freddy making a NightmareFace at the viewer.
** The non-canon "Funtime_Showtime", created to commemorate ''[[VideoGame/FiveNightsAtFreddysSisterLocation Sister Location]]'''s 5th anniversary, has one lifted straight from the game at the end, courtesy of Funtime Foxy.
** The teaser "There Are No Strings" features Puppet jumpscaring the viewer almost identically to how she did in her [[VideoGame/FiveNightsAtFreddys2 home game]]. According to Battington, this was done simply to test her model.
* LaughingMad: Chica in the beginning footage of "Sound Response Check", right before she murders the little girl who would later possess her.
* SouthernBelle: This iteration of Chica has the appearance and mannerisms down, as well as a very slight southern accent.
