Summary

  • FNAF 2, initially thought to be a sequel, was later revealed to be a prequel, answering some questions but sparking new fan theories and lore.
  • Sequel film set to take audiences to an older pizzeria, promising darker and scarier content while potentially revealing the infamous Bite of ’87.

The movie adaptation of “Five Nights At Freddy’s 2” has completed its filming, with early leaks suggesting that it heavily draws inspiration from the second installment in the series. There’s an age-old storyline that remains undisclosed both on screen and within the games. Could the sequel film be gearing up to offer viewers a representation of this infamous “FNAF” event?

When the sequel to the video game series known as FNAF was released in 2014, it delved deeper into the obscure history of the FNAF universe, taking us to surprising, thought-provoking, and confusing realms. FNAF 2 provided answers to some unresolved questions that were introduced in the first game, such as explaining how the animatronics became possessed. Throughout each night, players have the opportunity to play a series of minigames reminiscent of Atari games. These mini-games often depict the Puppet, a new marionette animatronic introduced in FNAF 2, placing masks of Freddy, Bonnie, Chica, and Foxy on what appear to be the bodies of deceased children (referenced through hidden Easter eggs throughout the original FNAF game). The minigames hint that the Puppet is resurrecting these children and putting them in animatronic suits. However, while the second game provided answers, it also sparked numerous unresolved lore questions, fan theories, and enigmatic references.

One aspect of the game FNAF 2 that left many players puzzled was its position within the series timeline. Initially, it seemed as though the events depicted in the second installment happened after the first one, given Scott Cawthon’s description of it as a ‘Grand Reopening.’ However, upon closer inspection, the original gang of animatronics from FNAF 1 appeared to be deteriorated and worn out. In their place were new toy-themed animatronics: Freddy, Chica, and Bonnie, which patrolled the premises as usual but were not possessed. Instead, they relied on advanced security technology designed to detect any individuals who might pose a threat to children at the Pizzeria.

Initially, it seemed like this location came after the first one, given Freddy Fazbear’s company’s efforts to mask its troubled past through rebranding. However, as the game unfolds, players gradually learn that this is actually a prequel, taking place in 1987. This revelation comes through the main character’s pay slip on Night 5. Detailed observers like YouTuber MatPat noticed that the minimum wage mentioned on the payslip from FNAF 1 was higher, allowing fans to deduce the year the pay slip was issued by reverse-engineering. As a result, the community figured out that the events in FNAF 2 took place earlier in the franchise’s timeline.

The Mysterious So-Called “Bite Of ’87”

In the game Five Nights at Freddy’s 1, there was a chilling moment when a character named Phone Guy (also known as Ralph) would call each night to check on the player. To minimize the danger posed by the animatronics, Ralph subtly hinted at several disturbing incidents where these mascots had attacked other people. He even mentioned an infamous event in Fazbear Entertainment’s history, known as The Bite of ’87. This event reportedly led to severe injuries, with the loss of the frontal lobe for the unfortunate victim. This chilling reference sparked much speculation about what had actually happened during The Bite of ’87 and who the victim was.

Given that Five Nights at Freddy’s 2 is set in 1987, fans speculated that the extra nights would reveal a significant, legendary event. However, this event transpires offscreen following the game’s completion. Clues from Ralph on Night 6 suggest that the animatronics were growing increasingly aggressive due to the presence of an enigmatic figure.

The establishment appears temporarily shuttered… It seems someone borrowed one of the uniforms… We found an alternative, a bright yellow one… Again, it was taken… Now, all of them seem to be malfunctioning.

The enigmatic character often seen wearing the “yellow costume” is widely speculated to be William Afton, also known as the “Purple Guy,” who covertly enters the pizzeria dressed in his distinctive yellow Spring-Lock Bonnie attire to dismantle the haunted animatronics. Tragically, these animatronics were once possessed by the very children Afton brutally killed. With the establishment now closed, Ralph ominously hints that “there’s one more event scheduled for tomorrow. It’s a birthday… You’ll be on duty during daytime. Make sure to wear your uniform and stay near the animatronics. Ensure they don’t harm anyone, alright?” This chilling remark suggests that this is the fateful day of the ’87 incident, when an irritable animatronic injures a customer, leaving them in a coma-like state.

Will The Sequel Film Do The Moment Justice?

The sequel movie, Five Nights At Freddy’s 2, holds a great opportunity to fulfill a long-awaited moment for series enthusiasts since the beginning. Recently, set pictures have leaked revealing that the story will transport audiences to an older pizzeria with the Toy animatronics depicted on the main sign. This suggests that viewers might get to witness the Puppet, the revamped Freddy cast, and the decayed designs. Despite the second film being rated PG-13 instead of R, the lead actor, Josh Hutcherson, has hinted that FNAF 2 will be significantly darker and more terrifying.

There’s nothing quite as chilling and eerie as the FNAF series, especially when incidents like the ’87 Bite are brought up. This event takes place during a daytime birthday party, which means that whoever unfortunate soul gets bitten, they do so in front of a crowd of excited and cheering children. The Phone Guy provides a gruesome detail: the animatronic responsible for the bite takes out the entire “frontal lobe,” indicating this isn’t a minor injury. Instead, it’s described as a brutal, violent, bloody, and traumatic incident. In many aspects, such an event could effectively intensify the scares in a sequel film and add something unique to the FNAF universe, tying up loose ends and completing the franchise’s narrative circle.

Fans have often debated that the infamous bite might have been inflicted by Mangle, a robotic character based on Foxy, which is regularly damaged and repaired during the restaurant’s operating hours by children. If this theory turns out to be true in the movie, one of these kids at the birthday party could potentially be the victim from the Bite of ’87 incident. However, it’s important to note that this is all speculation. In a fanbase known for solving every mystery within the FNAF universe, Five Nights At Freddy’s 2 would undoubtedly draw a large audience eager to witness the long-awaited onscreen unfolding of this notable chapter in the series.
