Gibi's Good Idea Bad's Video:    • Five Nights at Freddy's Lore in Only ...  

Credit to www.deviantart.com/thudner and AndyPurro for the Nightmare animatronic ports!

aka me yapping about Michael Appleton for 14 minutes plus a quirky sponsorship. Also to clear up any confusion, I believe William experimented with multiple illusion animatronics on multiple kids, I just think Nightmare may have been the prototype or the only damaged one since so many things point to him being a malfunctioning illusion.

    Next video: How does the Disney night guard handle that many animatronics???
  • @heyittgsf
    I recently saw Gibi's video about dream Theory and i'm really glad it not being canon is spreading
  • @NaiFarang
    this video seems so good can't wait to finish it. now I love the name "Mike-mare" and also the theory was AMAZING
  • @mamadev7687
    What if these are Michael's dreams that he's having during FNAF 1? Either when he goes home to sleep after his shift, or (like in the FNAF movie) falling asleep during his night shift?
  • @Im3than
    I personally believe that the nightmare expirements were done on Crying Child, but Mike is having the nightmares of his brother's memories, but they're getting mixed up with Mike's memories, (which is why he hears the Fnaf 1 phone call and the game play mimics Fnaf 1) Nightmare/Shadow Freddy is Crying Child's agony attacking Mike
  • @Takejiro24
    Interestingly, Nightmare's jumpscare mirrors Golden Freddy's from FNAF 1. Your points of how all of the Nightmare Animatronics have a Game Over screen (except Nightmare) and how Nightmare looks like a failing illusion make me wonder if Nightmare was actually the only Nightmare Animatronic throughout the nights? He (and Nightmare Fredbear) completely replace all of the other NAs once he shows up. Also, what would you think Nightmare Balloon Boy being canon means in the context of Michael having the nightmares?
  • @Hezpest
    Mike actully works at FNaF 2. Just night 7 tho. He changes his name to Fritz Smith so no one knows it was him. He does this over and over until Fazbear Frights, where he burns the pizzeria to the ground. Mike has hallucinations of BB,Puppet, and mangle. So he must have worked at night 7.

    Johnny 2 videos again: I’m not gonna be the next MatPat! Johnny now:
  • @Duckthief229
    The noise Nightmare's jumpscare makes is a distorted ambulance siren. That might tie in with the dream theory. (it was clearly intended)
  • @Gamesketchcomedy
    Maybe some nights are even and some are Micheal and he thinks of nightmare after the bite of 83
  • I’m pretty sure also Scott said in a Reddit post that he didn’t put random Easter eggs in fnaf 4, explaining the phone call
  • @WitheredCircle
    Great video so far! I agree with the evidence you've brought up, and I might make another FNAF 4 video on my channel because of this.
  • I’ve come to the conclusion that fnaf 4 tells 2 stories, the mini games tell the story of CC and his death which happened in 1983 while the in game nights are Michael having nightmares about his past mixed in with memories of the present, I wonder if Fnaf 4 takes place sometime around Fnaf 1?
  • @SpyDoTF2
    2:27 The encyclopedia literally states that CC is the fnaf 4 player, “oh but the encyclopedia has errors” there’s only errors on the little things
  • I watched the 8 hour FNAF video up to the FNAF 4 segment and while he makes a fair point about the thin reasoning for Dream Theory, I think it still fits perfectly with the context of the first four games. The gameplay being nightmares says enough. However, dream theory is by no means canon once Sister Location and Pizzeria Simulator enter the picture
