I regularly watch 40-60 minute videos, so hearing "This video is already way too long" when it is only 20 minutes seems crazy to me.
15:43 ah yes, my favorite withered animatronic, phantom mangle
Aw! I’m one of those fine folks from Henson’s who worked on this movie! Love the shout out!
ok so venasa was in the hospital, having NIGHTMARES, and seeing her father attacking her in her own home, it sounds like FNAF 4 to me
For a second I forgot this was Film Theory and thought I’d time travelled back a decade
Apparently it has been confirmed Skeet Ulrich, who played the iconic GhostFace along Matthew Lillard in Scream, has been cast in the FNAF2 movie. Although his role hasn't been confirmed, it is speculated he will be playing Henry Emily. I could totally see the mysterious voice from 14:54 being him.
19:22 *The true jumpscare.*
The faz talker toy sounds a lot like the voice spelling "save him" in the fnaf 2 death minigames. I dont know if thats intentional or has any significance, but the message in the minigame where you follow the puppet as freddy is that you cant save them, so perhaps that ties into Mike's inability to fix the animatronics
10:29 I do not believe this is a dream sequence. I’m pretty sure he is in the pizzeria and that this is a flashback to the missing children’s incident because if you look at it closely, his costume isn’t damaged.
10:49 It's confirmed that this movie takes 1 year after the first. I'm no nurse, but Vanessa's recovery could have taken most of that time.
