*This is the first instalment to my series that consists of FNAF/VHS and cinematic experience to freshen up the unchanged format for the past 4 years.* During 10 months of development, this project underwent many changes and two complete resets. Many innovative and groundbreaking measurements were implemented for the first time in the series, and due to my hardware limitations, some goofs/glitches/errors/artefacts may appear. I'd love to thank everyone involved, especially all voice actors and Spectre for the motion capture! Without you all, this project wouldn't have been possible to accomplish. Thank you!
Only this is the human characters. The face movements look fine but the arms somehow both look stiff and sporadic. The figures not moving is what gets me.
Holy... after finishing watching this... I was completely silent, seeing how messed up this type of William Afton is. This makes me hate him even more after the previous video, now that's how you do for the antagonist. Great job! I'm excited for part 2, keep up the good work!
I love that there is an actual reason for the kitchen camera to be disabled. To think Scott Cawthon being too lazy to modal the kitchen would pay off like…this
3:39 i love bonnie's reaction here. the little motion and the eyelids shooting up gives the impression of him saying "oh shit" without the need to actually say it. very appropriate given the context
@@melseyeliner well knowing how sadistic and smart william is described in the lore, if i had came across this video i would expect william to do something atrocious, tho litteraly deep frying one of his victims alive is something i didn't expect but it is probably lore accurate since william continued to kill children after killing the six missing children that we know, and given a murderer usualy gets more and creative and sadistic the more he kills, William deep frying one of his victims fits him perfectly
Sorry for fucking raging out, (I have anger issues) but that is true. But, likewise he would just murder not fucking deep fry his victims. So, it does line up that it was very chill-giving to viewers.
Either that or they're too scared to do anything Like cowering I mean....they're kids after all....and more than likely they're confused as hell of their own metal body predicament
@@GengUpinIpin its possible but I was hoping the series went in a different direction. Them being so similar to actual kids is a little lame to me, I like how one of the games described them, as barely conscious "monsters" or animals or something like that. I believe it was from an ultimate custom night voiceline. But I always liked that idea, that the ghost of the victim possessing something would not at all be similar to their real life counterpart, and more like a tormented barely sentient wraith acting on instinct with only hints of the remainings of a human consciousness very deep under
@@ballisticbiscuit5706 oh you mean in game lore? Imo i'd say yes actually I mean its like the many Springtrap iteration...despite having Willy Wofton's experience...theyre not him And also from one of the books saying its not soul but rather just the....traumas(? Not a quote, but thats what i understood) Which is their tormented counterpart But honestly, even tho i like that its not your typical "ghost possesses stuff"....i feel like, its not the common ground yet among everyone Tho to me, what you said is what makes more sense to me, i mean....what kids would shove a man inside a suit if they really are their real life counterpart.....its just their trauma, which is getting stuff inside a suit by porple goy
the way William has no remorse with the murders and is more concerned about getting away really show how much of a monster he is and just seeing the commercial in the end is legit terrifying as he really got away with everything... I like the easter egg of Williiam saying "I always come back" as it's the same line he says after a jumpscare in UCN almost like his fate is already sealed Also, the way the animatronics are shaking is so sad as the spirits of the dead children are still in there and just listening to another victim dying, they want to help but they can't
I've gotta say so far chica's reaction in the first part is incredibly hard hitting. The way she just shakes, almost as if trying to break free of unseen chains to help that child is truly horrifying.
“No. Not again. LEAVE HIM ALONE.” As she tries to claw her way out of her prison. “NO. LET ME OUT.” Trying so desperately to help this child who will inevitably succumb to the same gruesome fate. The restaurant grew silent, while the only sound to be heard was the sizzling of the deep fryer. The chicken mascot became still. Knowing that her relentless actions to save him were useless.Her heart shattered even if it had abruptly stopped beating months before. His life was so selfishly ended before it had the chance to begin.
5:17 No joke I paused the video for a moment here as the realization hit me. I thought the sound was running water the whole time and was wondering why the baby seemed to cry louder when the sound began. The slow movement of the camera from the bloody knives, to the blood stained floor, finally to the fryer while off note music plays is genuinely such an effective scene of horror.
It takes a lot to off set a man of the internet but for the first time in a while… the scene of a frier and the word “nuggies” once you realize the sound of the kid starts to become louder and more faint as time goes on after that sound you described made me sick to the stomach… genuinely this is one of the darkest takes i seen on the fnaf series and i am all for it as its not “jump scare” this and that. It’s just pure environmental and psychological horror.
I just love how absolutely diabolical William is in this storyline, poisoning food with modified worms, COOKING his victims, dropping them in acid tanks, AND (of course) stuffing them in the animatronics!?!? Mother of God. Bro is the embodiment of evil.
@@violetdesiree601 maybe but they seem a little too lenient on him. This guy is a suspect of a serious crime. I would put more efforts into investigating William if I was them. But then again I’m saying this as someone who knows that William did it.
@@Thegrroghonestly even if you had no idea he actually did anything or what he was actually doing, I feel like his ass and his business should have been canned long ago With the condition the food was already in setting aside the whole parasite thing for a moment, people going missing either around or in the place, and an ENTIRE TOWN pointing the finger at ONE GUY, even if they could just be another angry mob trying to pass their judgment on someone-don’t you think it would be at least somewhat suspicious with all these things combined all together at once?? It’s like the saying goes, if it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck, looks like a duck, then it’s probably a fucking duck
@@zamoriansreign that’s also a good point. Like if it was just one thing about kids disappearing that alone it already has suspicions pointing to William. And yeah he most definitely would have been shut down for the quality of his business. I always assumed William just paid everyone off to get away with the terrible things. Which would kinda explain the lack of urgency when it came to shutting William down. All the factors coming together should have been a major red flag.
and i feel like this satisfaction will be ruined because his death will be "part of his plan", like seriously, i know that the Lore Accurate William Afton is a genius already, but this William on the other hand is a litteraly a Mastermind and gaslighting God !
@@Alpha-cabbstill, even if he learns about the possession in this version and wants to become immortal, they could still make it so he regrets it. He could plan "I'm gonna live forever in this suit", but once he achieves it, he realizes that every single second of his life will be painful and he won't ever be able to do anything he plans. He would be captured the moment he left the building, and even if he didn't, I doubt a rotten robot will be able to open a chain restaurant to do those things. TLDR: Although he's very intelligent here, being springlocked would effectively be his own purgatory. (Unless they go the same way as the canon version and just overlook that aspect about springtrap)
3:06 I LOVE this interpretation of William, the way he cooked ALIVE a kid, the cry with the scream in the exact moment the sound of flesh being cooked sounds, with the focus on the robots, was one of the most terryfing things I've seen on this fandom, the way even Bonnie opens his eyes, I don't know yet if these are possesed or not, but dear god, they look like if they knew they aren't able to stop pretending to be off, the camera angles, 2 THINGS WERE COOKED HERE, THE KID, AND THE SCENE ITSELF. by far one of my favorite takes on that maniacal vision we had of william when we didn't knew his name yet
this is the closest to be "lore accurate" interpretation we have right now. in the lore william is described as a saddistic, cruel and remorseless murderer and manipulator, that's how he managed to commit his murders without being caught.
@@Alpha-cabb i hate when tik tok kids have that vission of William of being a tmblr sexy man and being a "victim of the circunstances" William always enjoyed being sadistic.
@Alpha-cabb Sure, he killed kids brutally (even though we still don't know what methods he used in the official lore, it was never mentioned how he tortured victims besides using them for experiments), but he didn't make a snack out of kids in the lore, that's not something that's in his style. Each kill of his was carefully and quickly planned and not random like in this Vhs tape. He wouldn't risk leaving more evidence by using the kitchen as well
The shaking eyes of the mascots is what really gets me. They don't want any more children to suffer but at the same time the trauma of having their lives taken away causes them to stiffen up as they hear the shrill cries from the kitchen.
Seeing the animatronics tremble at the start when hearing the child really had me feel the sadness and terror they felt bruh. I like how you made them actual characters instead of mindless killing machines like most other FNAF/VHS creators do. Good shit man, really🙌🙌
Bro this was absolutely fantastic! Glad I got to help out on this project and I’m thankful you were able to finally see it to fruition. Can’t wait to watch the rest of this series unfold!
This version of Afton is one of the more twisted ones i encountered throughout majority of VHS history of FNAF and the scene of the kitchen is more than enough to prove it. I honestly in mind he isn’t going to do it but now he deserves to burn in Hell
Really?? I've seen worse horror material loonng before FNAF was even a thing. So to me, this is normal, I've been consuming horror stuff for 20/25 years since the late 90s early 2000s.
@@railfanlynx He could be just as bad as leatherface from the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre from 1974, or the unknown man in the attic from Black Christmas (also from 1974).
If we thought this was sadistic and horrifying, imagine what it'll look like when William gets what he deserves, maybe it wont be exaclty like the springlock scene we're familiar with but its definitly gonna disturb us all.
My theory: William Afton gets in the suit and sees the Ghost of a girl he killed. Being the girl pretty, William Afton gets a sus thing that actions the locks. William Afton's baubles and nepis get crushed. Then his thighs and waist. Then his ankles, kneecaps and feet. Then his ribcage and arms. Then his neck. All of this in a 9-minute timespan
Watching the first few minutes, didn't expect to hear a baby crying while seeing the lifeless animatronics. Then got whiplashed from the McDonald's needing the filter oil to be replaced. 💀
I work at McDonald's, the accurate deepfryer is strangely frightening. Sounds and alarms I usually pay little to no mind to actually shook me to my core because it's not like, fries or whatever, it's a whole corpse. Props to you for being so accurate, I didn't know me being a fast food employee would actually make me enjoy a FnaF VHS more
@@Wizardjones69as it been confirmed that the child being deepfried is Cassidy here ? Because i searched for a confirmation of your claim and found nothing.
@@Wizardjones69 at first what i was hearing "Charlie" but now that you say it, it does sound way more like "Cassidy". Also one thing that's kind of a plothole here... How would William know her name ? Murderers not matter how insane they tend to forget the name of their victims within 48 hours.
This is so heartbreaking, not only because of what happened to the child, but also the fact that the animatronics couldn’t do anything to save that poor child and they were forced to just stand there and listen to the child’s painful screams as he was getting boiled alive (or “fried” alive)
I'm in a loss of words right now after watching the whole video. Like seriously, all of the effort that made for this; like the cinematography throughout most of the scenes, along with some multiple references and even with some VHS elements added to it, are all incredible! Your whole skills of this whole series are phenomenal! Well done TwelveMan and well done to everyone involved. Can't wait to see where this whole story takes us in part 2
This is unironically the best FNaF VHS series I have ever seen out of all of them. This is what FNaF needs: Realism. Innocent children killed brutally and trapped in metal cages that they once loved and couldn't get out of fighting for something they didn't even understand (revenge) is horrifying, but Scott Cawthon never really chose to expand on that. I audibly gasped, reading the comments as I realized that William literally deep fried the child. That's honestly the most brutal thing I have ever seen coming out of a FNaF project, and, despite how terrible it is, it's a great thing if you understand what I mean as in terror aspect.
@@daranaqelforastero319 The movie could have included flashbacks to the incident though. Showing the parents of the children, the police, news stations and William
@@WarmNitrogen but the thing is, what's actually important for the movie's story, the protagonist is Mike, the one to overcome his trauma is Mike, the one that everything is the story is pointing at is Mike, Mike is connected to all the things in the story of the movie, he's the protagonist, he's the focus, this story is about a man, who has spent his childhood and his teenage years regretting the death of his brother, wanting to find who did it, not realizing that even if he finds him, it won't bring his brother back, he has to focus on what matters in his life NOW, Abby, his sister, that's his character arc, and he is the one who has this in the movie, yes the flashbacks would be cool, but the thing is also, we already saw the kids be taken in the intro, everyone has already mentioned that the kids went missing and Vanessa confirms their bodies are inside those machines, Freddy screams at the end because he finally knows who took his life and the others too, they finally know, and not only that, but they're getting back at him.
I watched this at 1am like an idiot so here are my thoughts to scream into the void. I don’t care how “try hard” some ppl say this is I think this series is genuinely a work of twisted, horrible, beautiful art. The beauty in the sickening aspects of what Fnaf could’ve been is nothing short of amazingly crafted. Here are some of my takes and thoughts. The frying scene really got to me. As someone who worked in childcare hearing children in pure and utter agony makes me physically ill so to hear the cries of dying children even if it wasn’t accurate to the actual wails (never heard them nor would I ever want too) still makes me sick. What got me personally the most is William cooking the little girls corpse and the implication that 6 children are “prepped” to be given as food to not only guests but other children at the establishment just haunts me. Cannibalism has always been such a thing that has made me emotionally and physically destroyed so having that implication just makes this all the more sickened and amazed at the talent of the tapes and the creator. I know for some that’s cheap but thinking about the premise of a child serial killer owning a restaurant where he not only murders children via tapeworms but also murders children and fries there corpses to feed to unsuspecting guest and OTHER CHILDREN is so horrific I can’t even phantom the idea of such a sick person. On a technical level I love the texture of the animatronics and there twitching. Something about them seething with rage and despair but being unable to stop the horrors happening to them is just so chilling. The faux fuzz and dust on them was so good I could almost touch Bonnie’s face with how detailed it was. The camera angles and shadows just chefs kiss (no pun intended) As much as I hate this for the sleepless night tonight this series is truly something I look forward to fallowing. Twelve man, you ate and left no crumbs my guy. I despise this and love this all at once. Keep it up.
"oh yeah i'll give you a ticket,but if you can replace the bulb now,you can get off scott free!" "oh,yes,i have a spare in the........" *cartoony ass gulp* "the *trunk* 😰........" this guy has the lying skills of a child i swear
Now don't get me wrong I love the way the real FNAF series has played out. But I think my favorite part of this is that it trails back to the original games with how afton's portrayaled. He's not some mad scientist trying to discover mortality with extracting souls with remnant and faz goo. He's just a guy that went crazy after his son died. And I think the whole thing with the worms is probably the most creative, chilling twist on the series I've ever seen. I can't wait to see more
my immediate favorite detail was the “restored” withered animatronic design, since canonically they were much more unsettling before they had spare parts from the toy animatronics
The opening is making me genuinely anxious, I already hate hearing kids in distress so the added cooking noises made me genuinely sick to my stomach. Well done.
The dedication and love for the source material is evident in how the animatronics are actually SCARED of William, at least thats how it seems, but regardless i love the small details that tie back to the original while coming up with an insanely meticulous plot thats slowley drip fed rather than it explaining it through text on blank screen and new characters with deep ties to the already established cast. This is so amazing I CANT WAIT TO SEE MOREEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!
Wow, that might be the best first installment of the Junior's Archive series "Freddy Juniors' origins" i have ever seen. I'd love to see what have in store for us in the future and to all those who helped worked on this project, you've really outdid yourself. The suspense, the tragedy, the acting, the lighting, the animation, everything was flawless! i give this an 11/10
@@krisswastakentoo Also the phone call points to he wasn't doing this just because he felt like it.......HE'S DOING IT FOR SOME OTHER SICK BASTARD! Like his client is either a cannibal or is selling human meat and organs on the black market or dark web.
SPOILER WARNING… So to recap according to my understanding, Afton did exactly what he said he was, unaliving/sold the organs of kids and hid the bodies. Then on the sixth he got close to getting caught, so he called Carl and hid any evidence. Then sometime later Afton turned himself in to direct attention to him. Then the government basically put him under witness protection to avoid prosecution from the local community. So in the end of this episode, he basically got away with it all… haunting.
I still don’t really get the food poisonings. There was no way he could have possibly expected that to _not_ destroy his business and reputation, yet he acts as though this all came as a shock to him.
You hit it right in the dot my man. Truly a gut wrenching, uncomfortable experience. But that’s what we’re here for. To be scared and this series has DEFINITELY delivered!
Holy shit! You really have no idea how much of a privlidge it is to see this series breathe it's third fresh air of life! You have demonstrated talents above and beyond my expections, half of the time I didn't even realize I was watching a FNaF-inspired story because I was so invested in the drama between William and Carl! The performance of both those characters alone literally left my jaw hanging wide open. The only other series that can come this CLOSE to your amount of talent would probably be Breaking Bad! All I can say is thank you for everything Twelveman!
That was the quickest 40 minutes of my life. Twelve you have created an absolute masterpiece. You've managed to fuze cinematic, digital horror and analog horror all into one. Everything about this video really goes to show how talented you are. Not only that, but the knowledge required to produce something this detail oriented, especially considering the time period. Bravo dude, I can't wait to see more.
Just finished watching this, and I can quite easily say that this is one of the best FNAF VHS videos to come out of 2024! Excellent work as always, TwelveMan!
I love Carl. Also WIlliam having a partner in crime is awesome and reminds me of the 2 killers theories from back when people thought pink guy was a seperate person than purple guy. I also like how you showed people's emotions in the hospital video. It makes everything feel way more sad and tragic because in the games we can only see crying sprites but here we actually can feel the emotions these people experience. I love William's voice. I love Carl he is beauiful. Zajedwabista robota

This was one of the best FNAF VHS's I've seen. The first scene was so disturbing I had to pause to catch my breath. That was just insane lol. The whole thing is riddled with intense moments. Can't wait to see more.
I have to admit,with the scene involving the child and the sizzling,my mouth dropped,my hand was on my mouth from the shock and my stomach turned inside out. This version of William Afton is almost as bad as the one in ThePirateBoy's one. Jesus Christ.
This was made with real passion you can tell you put in so much hard work into this one; from the animators to the voice actors everyone involved good job this is a great fnaf vhs video i and will gladly wait for more!
Well done Twelve. Loved every second of this film. Great job incorporating The Walten Files into this, I loved the Bon's Burgers reference (I'm eagerly awaiting EP 5 right now). This is by far the scariest version of William Afton as well. I mean deep frying a child? That's crazy. Can't wait to see part 2 whenever it comes out (hopefully sooner than expected.)
Dude this is crazy good. This is way better quality than other vhs tapes I’ve ever seen, the fact that you have gotten this amount of realism drives me insane.
dude, this was AMAZING!!!!!!!! i like the horrific idea of a child being deep fried like kfc (reminds me of that fnaf kfc=killed five children meme) i like what you have with there being an accomplice to williams crimes & the whole operation he had going on (it reminds me of the 2 purple guy theory & of los pollos hermanos for some odd reason) the part where they thought william was innocent reminds me off that innocent purple guy theory & that "pink man was the villian the whole time!!!" one of my favorite parts is the scene where the cop finds (presumably) the remains of susie or some other female victim then thompson shoots him & hides the body in his trunk the human animations were fluent & not stiff in the slightest! all around, great job man!!!!!
FNAF hits all those wonderful horror/thriller vibes from like my favorites like Tales from the Crypt, Are you afraid of the dark, RL Stein, etc but with that Chuck E Cheese vibes and The Rock afire and I love all that. So for me this is so interesting. Hearing how the person described William as genuine and saying, "I know when someone is lying to me." and people described William as charismatic and intelligent. I think what makes his depiction in the now movies played by beloved Matthew Lillard so great is all those translate so well to his performance of the character as described in your video. It's just such an interesting story with a really nice unnerving what if scenario? It's like the best silly what if you took it to an extreme idea and just let it be whatever people came up with. It's so fun to theorize about this series and put this big ole story together and I love seeing it in this kind of format. I hope Poppy Playtime gets similar treatment just because it's such a fun thing to see newer fans of horror latch onto and create new projects in the space. I loved this!
This is one of the amazing 50 minutes of horror video we saw. A five nights at Freddy’s horror analog film that is close to 1 hour feels like an actual horror film. We enjoyed every single bit of the voice acting and video to the point of seeing nostalgic moments such as 80’s or 90’s commercials to old computer and models such as Windows Vista. Everything else, this is an amazing video and we know how long and hard it took to make it so taking a rest from it is a very good idea. Everything else, keep up the good work and always have a wonderful day 👍 From: Lost Media Archives Inc.
13:54 i didnt knew what was really going on in this, but it brings me a feeling that traumatized me to the core. How people were panicking around, how people were trying to protect themselves. It made me almost cry too..
4:39 The music that starts playing fits the scene so well. Audio is the most important part of horror and storytelling. It enhances it so much. So far, i have enjoyed hearing the amazing audio job on these videos. It made me feel shivers. Hearing the cries of the child made me feel sick. Great job on everything. This is hands down, the best fnaf vhs horror I've ever seen. Thanks for the entertainment ❤
16:00 Well, whole Bon's burgers thing already happened in this town, people already don't trust any restaraunt that has animatronics, perhaps Sophie already regained the memory of what happened, Felix might have been caught in this alternate story, plus we are shown 1985 events. Also it's cool that these tapes enhance Walten FIles: in St.Juana's forest William's partner might have been near the place where the crash happened or William himself might have flooded the car in the same place Felix got rid of the bag and the shoe. And the chances are that no one of them had any idea of what happened there. Absolutely amazing writing. (Bon's Burgers was mentioned in the medical scan tape)
This is some of the most impressive stuff I have seen in anything fnaf related, the human character animations are on par with something from a triple A video game. Such a massive improvement. I look forward to seeing more from your channel!
Completely mis read your comment, but yeah, it was more for his own good and to get away with it, then any actual greater good Which you probably know already know actually...well, to late, alreayd made this comment-
I’ve seen some good analog fnaf videos but my gosh…ain’t no body got it like you do…I was blown away by not only how dark the story is but the visuals. bro has changed the game for analog. mad respect
This was an absolutely incredible experience. One of the best FNAF VHS related videos I’ve seen in a long time. Incredible work throughout everything; the performances, the animations, the absolute soul of the video itself. I will wait patiently for Part 2, as I myself can’t wait for more.
Here's a not so fun fact. It's said that burning alive is the most painful way to go, and while yes, the intro is gruesome, there would more than likely be more visceral screaming from that child until most likely fully submerged in the frier. Also, nuggies?? Really? You made it say nuggies? that's hilarious but also fucked up, Twelve. Good job.
I wanna say that the animation and entirety of the story is incredibly interesting. I’m super impressed with the direction you’ve taken FNAF into. The conversations don’t feel very natural and it brought me out of the magic a couple times, but overall this was amazing!!
Holy shit this is straight up a masterpiece! Absolutely amazing job you did, I'm very proud and I can't wait to see this continue. Edit: I would also want to point out how much I love the style and overall presentation itself. :)
_*Nah, bro. That opening had me wanting to throw hands. This was so horrific and well done as are the rest of the videos leading up to this. You did incredible, TwelveMan._
absolutely amazing! Had me on the edge of my seat from start to finish, the pacing, the editing, every. single. thing. about this was amazing. Keep up the great work!
I am genuinely astonished by what you've managed to create here. This level of quality is something I'd never imagined I could find in FNAF content, and I'm so happy to get to see it reach this new height. You've done amazing, I can't wait to see what you make next, people like you are what makes the community so strong. Phenomenal work
What an incredible job, throughout the video I was attentive to the details, the voice acting that is phenomenal and the great work behind it, greetings from Mexico
If the child who was deep fried was supposed to be Cassidy; the idea that this is child that he went to far with, “the one he shouldn’t have killed” I would be pissed off as her and want my revenge for being made into McNuggets
I had such a hard time continuing to watch this because of the child crying sounds.. Dear GOD this is made phenomenally well, but it tugged at my heart strings so badly in the beginning.
If I tell you the truth, it is more interesting than the fnaf movie in real life, you really take it very seriously in your animations, greetings from Mexico
Once again, twelveman Seems to suprase any expectations, and exceeds them in flying colors. Easily one of the best fnaf horror tapes I watched, that beginning segment with the animatronics being forced to hear a child get deep-fried is horrifying, and a grim tone setter for the rest of the tape. My only real nitpick is near the end, with the IRL ads, when we have been using primarily 3d models for the tape, but aside from that, amazingly done.
I'm not sure where to start with this. The contrast between the first seven minutes and the entire rest of this video is so extreme I find it hard to talk about them as the same thing. So I won't. Just pretend everything after minute seven doesn't exist and I would give this animation a 7/10. It would be an 8 were it not for two small complaints I have. But first I want to talk about what it does right bc oh my gosh does it do so much right. The animation quality is great and remains so for the entirety of the video. The use of lighting and camera angles works perfectly to create that unsettling atmosphere. And the sound design, oh my gosh is the sound design great. I love the first few scares for how subtle they are. The animatronics are staring right into the camera, but there's a layer of doubt in that you never actually see them moving to look at us. It really does evoke the creepy feeling of finding yourself right in the line of sight of an inactive animatronic like you'd find at an old Chuck E Cheese. You feel like they're staring right at you but you know that it must just be a coincidence. It gave me chills ^^ The sound design is once again amazing. The sound of the child screaming and crying in the background was done really well. And OH MY GOSH the shot of Chica shaking in place as the screams get worse and worse was creepy as heck, and amazing foreshadowing as to what's' really going on at this place. The slow pan towards the deep fryer, seeing the blood all over the floor, paired with the loud, jarring beeps of the machine, and then th overwhelming sound of the fan make the whole scene feel overwhelming and horrific without ever actually showing us what's going on. And the slow, terrible realization of what's being done is just *chefs kiss* perfect. A perfect example of the implication being scarier than just showing the audience the scary thing on screen. My only issues with it are the two times one of the characters turned to look at the camera. I feel like those kind of scares are cheap, overdone, and super easy to see coming especially if you've been in the fnaf animation space whatsoever beforehand. Especially the Bonnie one lol. The angle is really good, but when he looks up at the camera it just reminds me of the "No bitches?" meme or the thumbnail from that one Lythero video lmao So overall (for just the first seven minutes of the video), 7/10 And now to talk about the rest of it... I suppose I'll go in chronological order. The scene with the cops was awful. For on, it drags on waaaayy too long an is pretty much just an exposition dump. Worse than that, it was genuinely irritating to watch. I hate both of those cop characters even more than the main villain. I know that cops are incompetant in real life, but these two are stupid to a cartoonish level. Mr baldo goes into detail about how William has a reputation for being creepy around kids, had five entire children go missing, at least of which was found dead, in his own restaurant over the course of just two years, and how he's now facing legal trouble due to genetically enhanced parasites being found in the food. And then he goes "Hurr durr I wunder why pepol hate dis guy so much its so weird dat pepol are rioting over this guy. Durr maybe is cause he rich and dey jealous of him" THE GUY IS A KNOWN CHILD CREEP, HAD FIVE ENTIRE KIDS GO MISSING IN HIS OWN RESTURANT, SAID CASES NEVER BEING SOLVED, AND NOW HE'S IN TROUBLE FOR THE FOOD BEING POISONED, WHICH AGAIN NO ONE HAS BEEN OFFICIALLY CHARGED FOR DOING IT. WHY DO YOU THINK PEOPLE HATE HIM. OF COURSE THEYRE GOING TO BLAME HIM. THE FOOD POISONING IS THE STRAW THAT BROKE THE CAMELS BACK. I'M SURPRISED THEY DIDN'T START RIOTING AFTER THE THIRD KID WENT MISSING. NOT TO MENTION THE COPS NOT DOING THEIR JOB WHATSOEVER. OF FREAKING COURSE THE PUBLIC IS ANGRY And then he's like "horrm well i talk do him and he seemed nice so me trust he innocent. me gonna help him mak a new identity and get a fresh start in texas and also me give him lotsa money to do so" And then the obvious question of "What if he did do it and we're giving a child serial killer a free out and he just does it again?" comes up and dunce cop goes "well it probably wont happen twice. Oh also this incident is the second time someting like this has happened" Like WHAT?? Also, the first nod to the Walten Files was cute, but then the story tried to shoehorn itself into the world on WF which was kinda weird. Weird and uneccessary. Moving on to the email scene... I'm not sure what to say? The whole segment feels like an Oneyplays hypothetical. It's just three solid minutes of someone clumsily reading through an email that has barely any relevance to the plot. I can just imagine Zach going "Hey what if you got an email from your friend one night and it's like really long and it starts off wit him going like Hey man uhh I heard about your peepee infection that hospitalized you also we should Skype sometime yes we should Skype sometime... And then he goes on and on about his trip to the thrift shop and how he watched Star Wars and also how some one the tapes he got were really creepy and then you open the uh, like the video files of the tapes that he sent you and it's just straight up like hard evidence of a child c*rpse trafficking scheme and also like straight up a cop getting murdered on video like straight up, what would you do?" I was sitting there laughing the whole time, I was completely unable to take the video seriously from that point on. Like this has got to be a shitpost right? Oh, there is that one random shot that is actually really well done of he creepy darkened doorway and the staircase. It never goes anywhere though so idk why it's even in there. Maybe setting up something for a future video. If that is the case then it's a neat way of doing it. It gets massively overshadowed by the email gag though. The following scenes of the video tapes are also just kinda long, boring, and too corny to take seriously. I have to give credit for originality on William's motivations though. I've never seen a fnaf fan creation where William is running Freddy's as a front for a child c*rpse trafficking scheme. There's not much to say about this part since it's really just long, drawn out, accidental confession that William did exactly everything he was accused of. The cop scene also felt dragged out. Super predictable too, and not even in a tense way. The rest of the video is whatever. Just recordings of old commercials that ends with us being shown that William, unsurprisingly, took advantage of being given a free pass and had started yet another front restaurant. I believe that the guy who got the email is William under his new identity cause who in their right mind finds clear, hard evidence of a murder and is just like "hm yeah I think ill just delete the only surviving copy of this potentially crucial evidence bc my buddy likes to burn tapes that creep him out as well as deleting any and all digital copies he has. The phone ringing cliffhanger interrupting William from deleting the evidence is neat.
the thing for why the guy don't suspect afton as a murder is that they don't have evidence, he is just suspiscious, the problem is the lack of evidence
@@Wizardjones69 Sure, but it seem like the guy thinks that Afton is completely innocent because he "talked to him and he seemed genuine" and is genuinely baffled why the public is throwing all the blame on him for _five unsolved child disappearances, one of whom was found dead, in just two years all at the restaurant owned by the guy who has a reputation for being creepy towards kids_. Of freaking course the public is going to start rioting. Even if William was completely innocent the public's reaction would be completely understandable. If anything, the cops would have been trying their hardest to pin the blame on William regardless of evidence so they don't look as bad to the public

*This is the first instalment to my series that consists of FNAF/VHS and cinematic experience to freshen up the unchanged format for the past 4 years.*
During 10 months of development, this project underwent many changes and two complete resets. Many innovative and groundbreaking measurements were implemented for the first time in the series, and due to my hardware limitations, some goofs/glitches/errors/artefacts may appear.
I'd love to thank everyone involved, especially all voice actors and Spectre for the motion capture! Without you all, this project wouldn't have been possible to accomplish.
Thank you!
Very nice, I wonder how this series is going to turn out once it's finished.
This looks great
You should be proud of yourself
Only this is the human characters.
The face movements look fine but the arms somehow both look stiff and sporadic. The figures not moving is what gets me.
It's so beautiful!
Holy... after finishing watching this... I was completely silent, seeing how messed up this type of William Afton is. This makes me hate him even more after the previous video, now that's how you do for the antagonist. Great job! I'm excited for part 2, keep up the good work!
People said the bar was too high but all he needed to do was lift his hand to grab it.

If you really think about it, they kinda have a point, there right about William quote on quote "Cooking"
He fried 💀
That first scene gave me chills. Its probably the most cruel and horrifying thing I've ever seen in a fnaf vhs.
me... too ..😶
What did you expect ?! Fnaf is litteraly the story of a child killer and his victims, of course it's gonna be cruel and fucked up.
@@Alpha-cabb bro wtf? They just didn’t expect that. What, would YOU think “oh they’re probably gonna fucking cook a child!”
@@melseyeliner well knowing how sadistic and smart william is described in the lore, if i had came across this video i would expect william to do something atrocious, tho litteraly deep frying one of his victims alive is something i didn't expect but it is probably lore accurate since william continued to kill children after killing the six missing children that we know, and given a murderer usualy gets more and creative and sadistic the more he kills, William deep frying one of his victims fits him perfectly
Sorry for fucking raging out, (I have anger issues) but that is true. But, likewise he would just murder not fucking deep fry his victims. So, it does line up that it was very chill-giving to viewers.
I like how with the child getting hurt the Animatronics starting shaking trying to help like the souls of them are trying to move to get to the child
It was so sad tho if that is true
Either that or they're too scared to do anything
Like cowering
I mean....they're kids after all....and more than likely they're confused as hell of their own metal body predicament
@@GengUpinIpin its possible but I was hoping the series went in a different direction. Them being so similar to actual kids is a little lame to me, I like how one of the games described them, as barely conscious "monsters" or animals or something like that. I believe it was from an ultimate custom night voiceline. But I always liked that idea, that the ghost of the victim possessing something would not at all be similar to their real life counterpart, and more like a tormented barely sentient wraith acting on instinct with only hints of the remainings of a human consciousness very deep under
@@ballisticbiscuit5706 oh you mean in game lore?
Imo i'd say yes actually
I mean its like the many Springtrap iteration...despite having Willy Wofton's experience...theyre not him
And also from one of the books saying its not soul but rather just the....traumas(? Not a quote, but thats what i understood) Which is their tormented counterpart
But honestly, even tho i like that its not your typical "ghost possesses stuff"....i feel like, its not the common ground yet among everyone
Tho to me, what you said is what makes more sense to me, i mean....what kids would shove a man inside a suit if they really are their real life counterpart.....its just their trauma, which is getting stuff inside a suit by porple goy
@@ballisticbiscuit5706 They have been stated as semi-conscious monsters since TSE at the least
the way William has no remorse with the murders and is more concerned about getting away really show how much of a monster he is and just seeing the commercial in the end is legit terrifying as he really got away with everything... I like the easter egg of Williiam saying "I always come back" as it's the same line he says after a jumpscare in UCN almost like his fate is already sealed
Also, the way the animatronics are shaking is so sad as the spirits of the dead children are still in there and just listening to another victim dying, they want to help but they can't
And what did you think of it in the movie?
And yet some people still simp for William
And Scott hired a trans artist that made fan art of William Afton being a non__ for a girl, your point?@@RCLLPR
I've gotta say so far chica's reaction in the first part is incredibly hard hitting. The way she just shakes, almost as if trying to break free of unseen chains to help that child is truly horrifying.
"I was the first. I've seen everything".
“No. Not again. LEAVE HIM ALONE.” As she tries to claw her way out of her prison.
“NO. LET ME OUT.” Trying so desperately to help this child who will inevitably succumb to the same gruesome fate.
The restaurant grew silent, while the only sound to be heard was the sizzling of the deep fryer. The chicken mascot became still. Knowing that her relentless actions to save him were useless.Her heart shattered even if it had abruptly stopped beating months before.
His life was so selfishly ended before it had the chance to begin.
@@LoverStayllbro cooked up a whole book
@blackoutfromrrits a good comment
Poor Chica she is a good kid but William the jerk have to kill everyone just because he held a grudge…
5:17 No joke I paused the video for a moment here as the realization hit me. I thought the sound was running water the whole time and was wondering why the baby seemed to cry louder when the sound began. The slow movement of the camera from the bloody knives, to the blood stained floor, finally to the fryer while off note music plays is genuinely such an effective scene of horror.
It takes a lot to off set a man of the internet but for the first time in a while… the scene of a frier and the word “nuggies” once you realize the sound of the kid starts to become louder and more faint as time goes on after that sound you described made me sick to the stomach… genuinely this is one of the darkest takes i seen on the fnaf series and i am all for it as its not “jump scare” this and that. It’s just pure environmental and psychological horror.

@@Thegrrog yep
@@Thegrroghonestly even if you had no idea he actually did anything or what he was actually doing, I feel like his ass and his business should have been canned long ago
With the condition the food was already in setting aside the whole parasite thing for a moment, people going missing either around or in the place, and an ENTIRE TOWN pointing the finger at ONE GUY, even if they could just be another angry mob trying to pass their judgment on someone-don’t you think it would be at least somewhat suspicious with all these things combined all together at once??
It’s like the saying goes, if it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck, looks like a duck, then it’s probably a fucking duck
@@zamoriansreign that’s also a good point. Like if it was just one thing about kids disappearing that alone it already has suspicions pointing to William. And yeah he most definitely would have been shut down for the quality of his business. I always assumed William just paid everyone off to get away with the terrible things. Which would kinda explain the lack of urgency when it came to shutting William down. All the factors coming together should have been a major red flag.
I just hope that in the future we get the satisfaction of hearing Afton's cries of pain and agony.
and i feel like this satisfaction will be ruined because his death will be "part of his plan", like seriously, i know that the Lore Accurate William Afton is a genius already, but this William on the other hand is a litteraly a Mastermind and gaslighting God !
i hope in the springlock scene we do get to hear it
or in the fnaf three fire and maybe the fnaf 6 fire
I hope the springlock failure starts from the b4lls
@@Alpha-cabbstill, even if he learns about the possession in this version and wants to become immortal, they could still make it so he regrets it. He could plan "I'm gonna live forever in this suit", but once he achieves it, he realizes that every single second of his life will be painful and he won't ever be able to do anything he plans. He would be captured the moment he left the building, and even if he didn't, I doubt a rotten robot will be able to open a chain restaurant to do those things.
TLDR: Although he's very intelligent here, being springlocked would effectively be his own purgatory. (Unless they go the same way as the canon version and just overlook that aspect about springtrap)
3:06 I LOVE this interpretation of William, the way he cooked ALIVE a kid, the cry with the scream in the exact moment the sound of flesh being cooked sounds, with the focus on the robots, was one of the most terryfing things I've seen on this fandom, the way even Bonnie opens his eyes, I don't know yet if these are possesed or not, but dear god, they look like if they knew they aren't able to stop pretending to be off, the camera angles, 2 THINGS WERE COOKED HERE, THE KID, AND THE SCENE ITSELF. by far one of my favorite takes on that maniacal vision we had of william when we didn't knew his name yet
this is the closest to be "lore accurate" interpretation we have right now. in the lore william is described as a saddistic, cruel and remorseless murderer and manipulator, that's how he managed to commit his murders without being caught.
@@Alpha-cabb i hate when tik tok kids have that vission of William of being a tmblr sexy man and being a "victim of the circunstances" William always enjoyed being sadistic.
@@Alpha-cabb except William is really tame on lore, this version isn't even "lore accurate" cause he is just better
@Alpha-cabb Sure, he killed kids brutally (even though we still don't know what methods he used in the official lore, it was never mentioned how he tortured victims besides using them for experiments), but he didn't make a snack out of kids in the lore, that's not something that's in his style. Each kill of his was carefully and quickly planned and not random like in this Vhs tape. He wouldn't risk leaving more evidence by using the kitchen as well

Hello Stan, I am AMONG the people to reply on this comment
The child undeservedly died being deepfried in an unagonizing death is just fucked up man. William in this is a irredeemable monster.
The shaking eyes of the mascots is what really gets me. They don't want any more children to suffer but at the same time the trauma of having their lives taken away causes them to stiffen up as they hear the shrill cries from the kitchen.
"I can't believe the kid killer in this version is evil"
William is evil, no matter what.

This is so heartbreaking, not only because of what happened to the child, but also the fact that the animatronics couldn’t do anything to save that poor child and they were forced to just stand there and listen to the child’s painful screams as he was getting boiled alive (or “fried” alive)

Well done TwelveMan and well done to everyone involved.
Can't wait to see where this whole story takes us in part 2
This feels like a movie lmao--
This is unironically the best FNaF VHS series I have ever seen out of all of them. This is what FNaF needs: Realism.
Innocent children killed brutally and trapped in metal cages that they once loved and couldn't get out of fighting for something they didn't even understand (revenge) is horrifying, but Scott Cawthon never really chose to expand on that.
I audibly gasped, reading the comments as I realized that William literally deep fried the child. That's honestly the most brutal thing I have ever seen coming out of a FNaF project, and, despite how terrible it is, it's a great thing if you understand what I mean as in terror aspect.
Yeah the movie was literally what you said, it may have excluded the blood, but it was realistic about it, while also being accurate to the games.
@@daranaqelforastero319 The movie could have included flashbacks to the incident though. Showing the parents of the children, the police, news stations and William
@@WarmNitrogen but the thing is, what's actually important for the movie's story, the protagonist is Mike, the one to overcome his trauma is Mike, the one that everything is the story is pointing at is Mike, Mike is connected to all the things in the story of the movie, he's the protagonist, he's the focus, this story is about a man, who has spent his childhood and his teenage years regretting the death of his brother, wanting to find who did it, not realizing that even if he finds him, it won't bring his brother back, he has to focus on what matters in his life NOW, Abby, his sister, that's his character arc, and he is the one who has this in the movie, yes the flashbacks would be cool, but the thing is also, we already saw the kids be taken in the intro, everyone has already mentioned that the kids went missing and Vanessa confirms their bodies are inside those machines, Freddy screams at the end because he finally knows who took his life and the others too, they finally know, and not only that, but they're getting back at him.
this has some of the best camera angles and animations I've seen in fnaf vhs videos
My man was late to the thanksgiving dinner but he cooked anyway
💀💀💀💀💀
I watched this at 1am like an idiot so here are my thoughts to scream into the void.
I don’t care how “try hard” some ppl say this is I think this series is genuinely a work of twisted, horrible, beautiful art. The beauty in the sickening aspects of what Fnaf could’ve been is nothing short of amazingly crafted.
Here are some of my takes and thoughts. The frying scene really got to me. As someone who worked in childcare hearing children in pure and utter agony makes me physically ill so to hear the cries of dying children even if it wasn’t accurate to the actual wails (never heard them nor would I ever want too) still makes me sick. What got me personally the most is William cooking the little girls corpse and the implication that 6 children are “prepped” to be given as food to not only guests but other children at the establishment just haunts me.
Cannibalism has always been such a thing that has made me emotionally and physically destroyed so having that implication just makes this all the more sickened and amazed at the talent of the tapes and the creator. I know for some that’s cheap but thinking about the premise of a child serial killer owning a restaurant where he not only murders children via tapeworms but also murders children and fries there corpses to feed to unsuspecting guest and OTHER CHILDREN is so horrific I can’t even phantom the idea of such a sick person.
On a technical level I love the texture of the animatronics and there twitching. Something about them seething with rage and despair but being unable to stop the horrors happening to them is just so chilling. The faux fuzz and dust on them was so good I could almost touch Bonnie’s face with how detailed it was. The camera angles and shadows just chefs kiss (no pun intended)
As much as I hate this for the sleepless night tonight this series is truly something I look forward to fallowing. Twelve man, you ate and left no crumbs my guy. I despise this and love this all at once. Keep it up.

"oh,yes,i have a spare in the........"
*cartoony ass gulp*
"the *trunk* 😰........"
this guy has the lying skills of a child i swear
I’m intruigued by Thompson
Now don't get me wrong I love the way the real FNAF series has played out. But I think my favorite part of this is that it trails back to the original games with how afton's portrayaled. He's not some mad scientist trying to discover mortality with extracting souls with remnant and faz goo. He's just a guy that went crazy after his son died. And I think the whole thing with the worms is probably the most creative, chilling twist on the series I've ever seen. I can't wait to see more
my immediate favorite detail was the “restored” withered animatronic design, since canonically they were much more unsettling before they had spare parts from the toy animatronics
The opening is making me genuinely anxious, I already hate hearing kids in distress so the added cooking noises made me genuinely sick to my stomach. Well done.
The dedication and love for the source material is evident in how the animatronics are actually SCARED of William, at least thats how it seems, but regardless i love the small details that tie back to the original while coming up with an insanely meticulous plot thats slowley drip fed rather than it explaining it through text on blank screen and new characters with deep ties to the already established cast. This is so amazing I CANT WAIT TO SEE MOREEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!
Wow, that might be the best first installment of the Junior's Archive series "Freddy Juniors' origins" i have ever seen.

The suspense, the tragedy, the acting, the lighting, the animation, everything was flawless! i give this an 11/10
Bro, he even added Aftons quote "I always come back." Clever!
This makes William from the games seem like an angel
Yep, in the games, at least it was more done for the sake of revenge but here, he took a step further and deep fried a kid for no reason at all
@@wirginiamobillio I KNOW right! Crazy
@@wirginiamobillio it's even worse because, according to the text on the screen, he deep-fried 6 of them this being the last. It's gut-wrenching.
@@krisswastakentoo Also the phone call points to he wasn't doing this just because he felt like it.......HE'S DOING IT FOR SOME OTHER SICK BASTARD! Like his client is either a cannibal or is selling human meat and organs on the black market or dark web.
The fact that a FNAF VHS Tape activated my childcare response so effectively that I actually panicked is genuinely impressive.
Disturing imagery? More like disturbing atmosphere. This episode kept me on the edge of my seat and I can't wait for part 2. Amazing job Twelveman!
SPOILER WARNING… So to recap according to my understanding, Afton did exactly what he said he was, unaliving/sold the organs of kids and hid the bodies. Then on the sixth he got close to getting caught, so he called Carl and hid any evidence. Then sometime later Afton turned himself in to direct attention to him. Then the government basically put him under witness protection to avoid prosecution from the local community. So in the end of this episode, he basically got away with it all… haunting.
I still don’t really get the food poisonings. There was no way he could have possibly expected that to _not_ destroy his business and reputation, yet he acts as though this all came as a shock to him.
@@thatoneguy609 I think it’s more of a point to show insanity and deprivation, and you know to light fires and see what burns.
That's not to mention rioters burned his house down so they shot themselves in the foot
You hit it right in the dot my man. Truly a gut wrenching, uncomfortable experience. But that’s what we’re here for. To be scared and this series has DEFINITELY delivered!
Did he die or get springlocked?
william and carl feel like walter and jesse, i dig it
Holy shit! You really have no idea how much of a privlidge it is to see this series breathe it's third fresh air of life! You have demonstrated talents above and beyond my expections, half of the time I didn't even realize I was watching a FNaF-inspired story because I was so invested in the drama between William and Carl! The performance of both those characters alone literally left my jaw hanging wide open. The only other series that can come this CLOSE to your amount of talent would probably be Breaking Bad! All I can say is thank you for everything Twelveman!
That was the quickest 40 minutes of my life.
Twelve you have created an absolute masterpiece. You've managed to fuze cinematic, digital horror and analog horror all into one. Everything about this video really goes to show how talented you are. Not only that, but the knowledge required to produce something this detail oriented, especially considering the time period.
Bravo dude, I can't wait to see more.
Just finished watching this, and I can quite easily say that this is one of the best FNAF VHS videos to come out of 2024!
Excellent work as always, TwelveMan!
For the last few days every video ive watched ive seen you in the comments
I love Carl. Also WIlliam having a partner in crime is awesome and reminds me of the 2 killers theories from back when people thought pink guy was a seperate person than purple guy. I also like how you showed people's emotions in the hospital video. It makes everything feel way more sad and tragic because in the games we can only see crying sprites but here we actually can feel the emotions these people experience. I love William's voice. I love Carl he is beauiful. Zajedwabista robota

Dude this is so good holy shit.
It also reminded me of Dayshift at Freddy's games, with Carl having orange tone and partner of William.
Carl getting pulled over for going 61 in a 45 is DIABOLICAL
This was one of the best FNAF VHS's I've seen. The first scene was so disturbing I had to pause to catch my breath. That was just insane lol. The whole thing is riddled with intense moments. Can't wait to see more.
I have to admit,with the scene involving the child and the sizzling,my mouth dropped,my hand was on my mouth from the shock and my stomach turned inside out.
This version of William Afton is almost as bad as the one in ThePirateBoy's one. Jesus Christ.
What were you hyperventilating?
@JawadJaafar-ky1rk I don't think a video making you want to throw up is a good thing
@@Dav458 if it made you sick, that's not a good thing
@@anonymouslucario285 nah. Nothing like that. But it certainly made me uncomfortable, freaked out and a little anxious.
This was made with real passion you can tell you put in so much hard work into this one; from the animators to the voice actors everyone involved good job this is a great fnaf vhs video i and will gladly wait for more!
Bro please stop deep frying children 😂
So happy to be a part of this! I’ve always wanted to play a detective, so thank you so much! The animation looks STUNNING!! ❤❤
Well done Twelve. Loved every second of this film. Great job incorporating The Walten Files into this, I loved the Bon's Burgers reference (I'm eagerly awaiting EP 5 right now). This is by far the scariest version of William Afton as well. I mean deep frying a child? That's crazy. Can't wait to see part 2 whenever it comes out (hopefully sooner than expected.)
Thanks for letting me be a part of this! Even though all I did was 2 lines of dialog lol. Great world-building, story telling, and visuals!
can't wait to see freddy throw it back for 42 minutes
Man this series not only traumatized me with tape worms but was also unsettling to watch 10/10 best series vhs ever.
Ngl, the tapeworms bit actually almost made me a vegetarian if it weren't for the fact that vegetation isn't safe either 💀💀
Dude this is crazy good. This is way better quality than other vhs tapes I’ve ever seen, the fact that you have gotten this amount of realism drives me insane.
dude, this was AMAZING!!!!!!!!
i like the horrific idea of a child being deep fried like kfc (reminds me of that fnaf kfc=killed five children meme)
i like what you have with there being an accomplice to williams crimes & the whole operation he had going on (it reminds me of the 2 purple guy theory & of los pollos hermanos for some odd reason)
the part where they thought william was innocent reminds me off that innocent purple guy theory & that "pink man was the villian the whole time!!!"
one of my favorite parts is the scene where the cop finds (presumably) the remains of susie or some other female victim then thompson shoots him & hides the body in his trunk
the human animations were fluent & not stiff in the slightest!
all around, great job man!!!!!
Kentucky Fried Children
FNAF hits all those wonderful horror/thriller vibes from like my favorites like Tales from the Crypt, Are you afraid of the dark, RL Stein, etc but with that Chuck E Cheese vibes and The Rock afire and I love all that. So for me this is so interesting. Hearing how the person described William as genuine and saying, "I know when someone is lying to me." and people described William as charismatic and intelligent. I think what makes his depiction in the now movies played by beloved Matthew Lillard so great is all those translate so well to his performance of the character as described in your video.
It's just such an interesting story with a really nice unnerving what if scenario? It's like the best silly what if you took it to an extreme idea and just let it be whatever people came up with. It's so fun to theorize about this series and put this big ole story together and I love seeing it in this kind of format. I hope Poppy Playtime gets similar treatment just because it's such a fun thing to see newer fans of horror latch onto and create new projects in the space. I loved this!
This is one of the amazing 50 minutes of horror video we saw. A five nights at Freddy’s horror analog film that is close to 1 hour feels like an actual horror film. We enjoyed every single bit of the voice acting and video to the point of seeing nostalgic moments such as 80’s or 90’s commercials to old computer and models such as Windows Vista. Everything else, this is an amazing video and we know how long and hard it took to make it so taking a rest from it is a very good idea. Everything else, keep up the good work and always have a wonderful day 👍

THE CARTOON GULP WHEN HE HAS TO OPEN THE TRUNK OH MY GOD
13:54 i didnt knew what was really going on in this, but it brings me a feeling that traumatized me to the core. How people were panicking around, how people were trying to protect themselves. It made me almost cry too..
What happened?
@@Elifloxks i did some research and found out it was a riot in britain i think? I got the original video, i just have to copy the link afterwards.
This is literally the best fnaf fan content I’ve ever seen. Rivaling Battington imo, and that’s fuckin saying something. Can’t wait for part 2
4:39 The music that starts playing fits the scene so well. Audio is the most important part of horror and storytelling. It enhances it so much. So far, i have enjoyed hearing the amazing audio job on these videos. It made me feel shivers. Hearing the cries of the child made me feel sick. Great job on everything. This is hands down, the best fnaf vhs horror I've ever seen. Thanks for the entertainment ❤
16:00 Well, whole Bon's burgers thing already happened in this town, people already don't trust any restaraunt that has animatronics, perhaps Sophie already regained the memory of what happened, Felix might have been caught in this alternate story, plus we are shown 1985 events. Also it's cool that these tapes enhance Walten FIles: in St.Juana's forest William's partner might have been near the place where the crash happened or William himself might have flooded the car in the same place Felix got rid of the bag and the shoe. And the chances are that no one of them had any idea of what happened there. Absolutely amazing writing.
(Bon's Burgers was mentioned in the medical scan tape)
"Hey Will. the usual kid sized chicken nuggies , got it?"
"Yeah don't worry..."
This is some of the most impressive stuff I have seen in anything fnaf related, the human character animations are on par with something from a triple A video game. Such a massive improvement. I look forward to seeing more from your channel!
The animation is insanely good, standout is the faces, people usually overlook face animations but it really brings the characters to life!
no way bro put deadly worms in kids' food and proceeded to say "I must sacrifice myself for the greater good"
Completely mis read your comment, but yeah, it was more for his own good and to get away with it, then any actual greater good
Which you probably know already know actually...well, to late, alreayd made this comment-
I’ve seen some good analog fnaf videos but my gosh…ain’t no body got it like you do…I was blown away by not only how dark the story is but the visuals. bro has changed the game for analog. mad respect
This was an absolutely incredible experience. One of the best FNAF VHS related videos I’ve seen in a long time. Incredible work throughout everything; the performances, the animations, the absolute soul of the video itself. I will wait patiently for Part 2, as I myself can’t wait for more.
Here's a not so fun fact. It's said that burning alive is the most painful way to go, and while yes, the intro is gruesome, there would more than likely be more visceral screaming from that child until most likely fully submerged in the frier.
Also, nuggies?? Really? You made it say nuggies?
that's hilarious but also fucked up, Twelve. Good job.
I know! Right?
I wanna say that the animation and entirety of the story is incredibly interesting. I’m super impressed with the direction you’ve taken FNAF into.
The conversations don’t feel very natural and it brought me out of the magic a couple times, but overall this was amazing!!
Holy shit this is straight up a masterpiece! Absolutely amazing job you did, I'm very proud and I can't wait to see this continue. Edit: I would also want to point out how much I love the style and overall presentation itself. :)
_*Nah, bro. That opening had me wanting to throw hands. This was so horrific and well done as are the rest of the videos leading up to this. You did incredible, TwelveMan._
absolutely amazing! Had me on the edge of my seat from start to finish, the pacing, the editing, every. single. thing. about this was amazing. Keep up the great work!
I am genuinely astonished by what you've managed to create here. This level of quality is something I'd never imagined I could find in FNAF content, and I'm so happy to get to see it reach this new height. You've done amazing, I can't wait to see what you make next, people like you are what makes the community so strong. Phenomenal work
Seeing the FNAF 1 gang shake is desperation and fear as the baby cries is chilling.
The way he dropped the I always come back is the best I’ve seen in any VHS
I will be looking forward to this new episode! You've shown to be an amazing fnaf vhs creator.
What an incredible job, throughout the video I was attentive to the details, the voice acting that is phenomenal and the great work behind it, greetings from Mexico
29:19 I like how William says this like throwing your car in a river is normal and he is like "duh?? Isn't it an obvious solution?"
IT’S FINALLY HERE
Gave me chills, and I love the Easter eggs
“Why Hello there, Old Sport”
Absolutely shellshocking. I spent my last hour in introspect with awe and shock. Incredible work. Incredible.
This is some AWESOME work man.
You made a well detailed, nightmarish and realistic piece of work.
This is AMAZING!! I absolutely cannot wait to see the next part! Amazing job! I think this might be one of my favorite adaptations yet.
Honored to be the 15,000th viewer of this incredibly made series this is just simply so amazing!! Keep up the great work!!
If the child who was deep fried was supposed to be Cassidy; the idea that this is child that he went to far with, “the one he shouldn’t have killed” I would be pissed off as her and want my revenge for being made into McNuggets
I had such a hard time continuing to watch this because of the child crying sounds..
Dear GOD this is made phenomenally well, but it tugged at my heart strings so badly in the beginning.
If I tell you the truth, it is more interesting than the fnaf movie in real life, you really take it very seriously in your animations, greetings from Mexico
Once again, twelveman Seems to suprase any expectations, and exceeds them in flying colors. Easily one of the best fnaf horror tapes I watched, that beginning segment with the animatronics being forced to hear a child get deep-fried is horrifying, and a grim tone setter for the rest of the tape. My only real nitpick is near the end, with the IRL ads, when we have been using primarily 3d models for the tape, but aside from that, amazingly done.
I'm not sure where to start with this. The contrast between the first seven minutes and the entire rest of this video is so extreme I find it hard to talk about them as the same thing. So I won't.
Just pretend everything after minute seven doesn't exist and I would give this animation a 7/10. It would be an 8 were it not for two small complaints I have.
But first I want to talk about what it does right bc oh my gosh does it do so much right. The animation quality is great and remains so for the entirety of the video. The use of lighting and camera angles works perfectly to create that unsettling atmosphere. And the sound design, oh my gosh is the sound design great.
I love the first few scares for how subtle they are. The animatronics are staring right into the camera, but there's a layer of doubt in that you never actually see them moving to look at us. It really does evoke the creepy feeling of finding yourself right in the line of sight of an inactive animatronic like you'd find at an old Chuck E Cheese. You feel like they're staring right at you but you know that it must just be a coincidence. It gave me chills ^^
The sound design is once again amazing. The sound of the child screaming and crying in the background was done really well. And OH MY GOSH the shot of Chica shaking in place as the screams get worse and worse was creepy as heck, and amazing foreshadowing as to what's' really going on at this place.
The slow pan towards the deep fryer, seeing the blood all over the floor, paired with the loud, jarring beeps of the machine, and then th overwhelming sound of the fan make the whole scene feel overwhelming and horrific without ever actually showing us what's going on.
And the slow, terrible realization of what's being done is just *chefs kiss* perfect. A perfect example of the implication being scarier than just showing the audience the scary thing on screen.
My only issues with it are the two times one of the characters turned to look at the camera. I feel like those kind of scares are cheap, overdone, and super easy to see coming especially if you've been in the fnaf animation space whatsoever beforehand.
Especially the Bonnie one lol. The angle is really good, but when he looks up at the camera it just reminds me of the "No bitches?" meme or the thumbnail from that one Lythero video lmao
So overall (for just the first seven minutes of the video), 7/10
And now to talk about the rest of it... I suppose I'll go in chronological order.
The scene with the cops was awful. For on, it drags on waaaayy too long an is pretty much just an exposition dump. Worse than that, it was genuinely irritating to watch. I hate both of those cop characters even more than the main villain. I know that cops are incompetant in real life, but these two are stupid to a cartoonish level.
Mr baldo goes into detail about how William has a reputation for being creepy around kids, had five entire children go missing, at least of which was found dead, in his own restaurant over the course of just two years, and how he's now facing legal trouble due to genetically enhanced parasites being found in the food.
And then he goes "Hurr durr I wunder why pepol hate dis guy so much its so weird dat pepol are rioting over this guy. Durr maybe is cause he rich and dey jealous of him"
THE GUY IS A KNOWN CHILD CREEP, HAD FIVE ENTIRE KIDS GO MISSING IN HIS OWN RESTURANT, SAID CASES NEVER BEING SOLVED, AND NOW HE'S IN TROUBLE FOR THE FOOD BEING POISONED, WHICH AGAIN NO ONE HAS BEEN OFFICIALLY CHARGED FOR DOING IT. WHY DO YOU THINK PEOPLE HATE HIM. OF COURSE THEYRE GOING TO BLAME HIM. THE FOOD POISONING IS THE STRAW THAT BROKE THE CAMELS BACK. I'M SURPRISED THEY DIDN'T START RIOTING AFTER THE THIRD KID WENT MISSING. NOT TO MENTION THE COPS NOT DOING THEIR JOB WHATSOEVER. OF FREAKING COURSE THE PUBLIC IS ANGRY
And then he's like "horrm well i talk do him and he seemed nice so me trust he innocent. me gonna help him mak a new identity and get a fresh start in texas and also me give him lotsa money to do so"
And then the obvious question of "What if he did do it and we're giving a child serial killer a free out and he just does it again?" comes up and dunce cop goes "well it probably wont happen twice. Oh also this incident is the second time someting like this has happened"
Like WHAT?? Also, the first nod to the Walten Files was cute, but then the story tried to shoehorn itself into the world on WF which was kinda weird. Weird and uneccessary.
Moving on to the email scene... I'm not sure what to say? The whole segment feels like an Oneyplays hypothetical. It's just three solid minutes of someone clumsily reading through an email that has barely any relevance to the plot. I can just imagine Zach going "Hey what if you got an email from your friend one night and it's like really long and it starts off wit him going like Hey man uhh I heard about your peepee infection that hospitalized you also we should Skype sometime yes we should Skype sometime... And then he goes on and on about his trip to the thrift shop and how he watched Star Wars and also how some one the tapes he got were really creepy and then you open the uh, like the video files of the tapes that he sent you and it's just straight up like hard evidence of a child c*rpse trafficking scheme and also like straight up a cop getting murdered on video like straight up, what would you do?"
I was sitting there laughing the whole time, I was completely unable to take the video seriously from that point on. Like this has got to be a shitpost right?
Oh, there is that one random shot that is actually really well done of he creepy darkened doorway and the staircase. It never goes anywhere though so idk why it's even in there. Maybe setting up something for a future video. If that is the case then it's a neat way of doing it. It gets massively overshadowed by the email gag though.
The following scenes of the video tapes are also just kinda long, boring, and too corny to take seriously. I have to give credit for originality on William's motivations though. I've never seen a fnaf fan creation where William is running Freddy's as a front for a child c*rpse trafficking scheme.
There's not much to say about this part since it's really just long, drawn out, accidental confession that William did exactly everything he was accused of. The cop scene also felt dragged out. Super predictable too, and not even in a tense way.
The rest of the video is whatever. Just recordings of old commercials that ends with us being shown that William, unsurprisingly, took advantage of being given a free pass and had started yet another front restaurant.
I believe that the guy who got the email is William under his new identity cause who in their right mind finds clear, hard evidence of a murder and is just like "hm yeah I think ill just delete the only surviving copy of this potentially crucial evidence bc my buddy likes to burn tapes that creep him out as well as deleting any and all digital copies he has.
The phone ringing cliffhanger interrupting William from deleting the evidence is neat.
the thing for why the guy don't suspect afton as a murder is that they don't have evidence, he is just suspiscious, the problem is the lack of evidence
@@Wizardjones69 Sure, but it seem like the guy thinks that Afton is completely innocent because he "talked to him and he seemed genuine" and is genuinely baffled why the public is throwing all the blame on him for _five unsolved child disappearances, one of whom was found dead, in just two years all at the restaurant owned by the guy who has a reputation for being creepy towards kids_. Of freaking course the public is going to start rioting.
Even if William was completely innocent the public's reaction would be completely understandable. If anything, the cops would have been trying their hardest to pin the blame on William regardless of evidence so they don't look as bad to the public
