I Solved The FNAF Movie’s BIGGEST Mystery

MatPat could be Henry Emily, ever think about that

I really like the fact both you and MatPat are going down the Mike's dad might be Henry route because I'll be honest, that thought never crossed my mind during the film, because I think not having the family being in an obvious Pizzeria setting when Garret was kidnapped, threw me. Plus when I first saw the trailer with the children manifesting in the woods, I made the connection between the pile of dirt in the forest in Midnight Motorist being their gravesite.

Thank god you pointed out that the head in the drawing was glued on. Could easily see that becoming a missed detail. I noticed it when I saw it in theaters and was waiting for someone to theorize about it

Really glad you got to making a movie theory. If the creative team behind the movies deem it worthy to create a series, I'm really hoping the stories and themes get fleshed out better since there's more than one person working on them now.

FNAF is such a fascinating series. The way Scott has been able to restart the story multiple times, tweaking it as he learns, in theory this new movie storyline should be his most thought out, consistent story. I'm so excited to see where this goes and what he does to keep it fresh while acknowledging what got us to this point

can't wait to watch matpats 1 hour 30 minute breakdown of this 8 minute 30 second movie theory

Spotting that cutout of the head on the drawing is TOPS mate well played. This is a stellar theory video, and adds a lot of fun discussion points to the table while we wait for any kind of teaser for the second movie. Thanks for posting!

I was so certain on Garrett being the movie-verse's Puppet until you pointed out the head detail on the drawing! You always manage to notice stuff I never hear anyone else bring up :0 Great video as always! Though, I believe I heard Aunt Jane didn't actually die and was actually unconscious in that scene. It would be harder for Mike to explain why the person trying to take his sister away was dead in their living room...

while I agree that the Ella doll is probably just an easter egg and not meant to tie into the plot at large, I also think this easter egg can be used for lore. Ella from TSE, for all intents and purposes, is essentially an “earlier” baby. A precursor to Baby. By showing a version of a “precursor” to Baby that is a third unexplained springlock suit, Scott could be hinting that the third unexplained springlock suit from the games no one has been able to figure out may have been a “precursor” to or “earlier version” of Baby. Would explain why it came from Circus Baby’s.

Hey John. Great theory! I did notice something weird while watching the movie and it’s that every time someone enters the building, the power turns on by itself. For a really clear example, look at the scene right when the robbers enter the building. The literal security monitors turn on by itself. They make it very clear throughout the movie for some reason and I can’t figure out why. It could just be showing that the animatronics have control of the building, but they’re very consistent with it. Just a thing I thought I’d throw out. Great video again!

I'm really surprised that everyone is so intent on why William would take a kid outside of a Freddy's. I just assumed it was the first time for him. The first crime was one of opportunity, and then he escalated to premeditated. To me, it didn't need to specifically be about Garrett. It's still a pretty big coincidence that both the Schmitt family and William were in Nebraska some ten years ago and meet again by chance at Freddy's, but that's the kind of coincidence that makes a story work.

I really appreciate that you and Matt are both leaning in to theorizing this but also acknowledging that... we don't really know much. Haha. It does feel fun to be at the start again in a way.

Thank you, John!! I always love seeing your take on things ❤ While it's true that we don't have a lot to go on for theory crafting at the moment, isn't it so inspiring to be experiencing a similar feeling to when the first game came out? I feel like the movie has reignited the fan base and I couldn't be happier.

Congrats on your First Fnaf Movie Theory! Matpat would be proud

that detail where the drawing clearly being pasted over by someone is probably very important. you're really good at finding these things, it's just a matter of figuring out what they are saying or pointing us towards in regards to the story. good stuff man, hope we see more soon.

This video really opened my mind. For a bit, I kind of forgot what franchise we're dealing with

I'll take "This solves everything" for $500 Alex

I'm so thankful for your video because in theaters I was swearing up and down that it looked as if Cassidy's face was pasted over top of the original drawing, but none of my friends were able to catch it while the image was on screen. I hadn't been able to rewatch it on my own time to double check yet, so I'm glad to know I wasn't going crazy.

The second I pick up my phone, John posts a video. This was meant to be!

glad insomnia kept me awake to watch this right away
