“There was one perfect place to hide..into the pit.” – FNAF, Fazbear Frights #1. Scott Cawthon’s Iconic book series Fazbear Frights bled the fear factor straight through its pages. Featuring our world’s worst father of the series William Afton who became the catalyst of events to come. Starting in the 1970’s as co-founder with his best friend Henry Emily of Fredbears Family Diner.
Five Nights at Freddy’s started in 2014 as a survival horror game developed by the man who started it all, Scott Cawthon. In FNAF 1 you play as Mike Schmidt, later revealed as Micheal Afton as the security guard at a Family Pizzeria. You must avoid homicidal animatronics that wander around at night and complete your shift at 6am.
Scott, is an American video game developer, writer, and producer. He was inspired to create this life long series based on the 1993 Aurora, Colorado shooting at Chuck E Cheese and Showbiz Pizza Place. Although retired from his day to day game development he’s still involved in his franchise.
Emma Tammi, is a director and producer known for the Five Nights at Freddy’s movie and film The Wind. She views the Five nights at Freddy’s movie a way to bring the deep lore and an immersive atmosphere to life for the fans. The lore is challenger deep, however it was like mismatching socks. The storyline was swapped between the main characters. This caused major division among fans, some appreciating a new take while others were loyal to original lore.
Micheal and Elizabeth are the confirmed children of William Afton. The younger brother’s name was never confirmed, most sticking with the name Evan found in the survival logbook. The movie portrays him as a boy named Garrett and all three siblings belong to the implied Henry’s family. Vannesa is considered William’s daughter in the film yet originally shown as the Security guard controlled by Glitchtrap to capture a boy named Gregory.
The five missing children are mainly kept the same in all aspects. Except for the child who possessed Golden Freddy in the movie. Originally, a little girl named Cassidy and Evan Afton possess the animatronic. Overall, I enjoyed the movie and the tremendous effort put into bringing the video game to life. This was truly a remarkable movie for the fans in 2023.
