    When the animatronic is “dancing”, a song called Heartaches is played and it is famously used as a sample in an album collection “Everywhere at the end of time”. The collection tackles the topic of dementia and forgetting.

      that is a very good theory, and would kinda make sense since in canon Edd and molly Died but Felix didnt.

    Adding onto what Mat said at the end, I remember when I was little I hated anything horror! I grew up with a very religious family and because of that I was taught that horror is only about the evil, the monsters, and the cruel. Now that I'm older, I know better. Horror is about humanity, about resilience, about love in all it's forms, and what humanity does when faced with a hopeless situation. A quote from one of my favorite RUclips channels Cinema Therapy is when they say, "Ironically, it's often horror that has the best love stories." It makes us ask the question, "How far would you go for your loved ones? How far would you go for yourself?"

    Fun fact:
    Freddy Fazbear’s Pizza is canon to the Walton universe and yes that includes all the animatronics we know and love. The only difference is that in this universe nothing went wrong there, no Purple Guy, no bite of 87, nothing.
    So it appears that regardless of which animatronic themed restaurant becomes a melting pot of vengeful spirits one of them always will. It’s an absolute point in time if you will.

      Walten files works because from the get go it was established to be about Family, about these 2 owners of the place, and had a decent amount of character who just existed without being connected to the family. Fnaf only started adding the family elements 3 games into the series, and then went through and started retconning almost every small element to be contrived into the family dynamic, making the entire thing a mess and, like i said feel massively contrived and trite.

    Since there's been another upload from Martin, I'm gonna try answer some questions for anyone who wants to know.
    1) What happened to Jack?
    Jack found out what Felix had done and in a drunken panic, Felix killed Jack. He put Jack inside of Bon and left it at that.
    2) What happened to Rosemary?
    Rosemary became depressed after her children's and her husband's deaths. Felix was the only person she felt she could talk to after Linda moved away, and so when she finally pieced it all together, she went to find Jack. Jack, inside of Bon, lured her backstage, dismembered her and stuffed her inside of Sha.
    3) What happened to Felix?
    As far as I know, nothing. He isn't confirmed to be dead and is listed as an acting member of the Bon's Burgers franchise.
    4) What's the deal with Susan?
    Susan says she's alive, because at one point she was. When she was stuffed into Banny, she was still alive. The reason that she say's she starving, and the reason for the rabbit is starving section is that she starved to death inside of the suit.
    I'm sorry if I got anything wrong, please feel free to correct me. I'll happily answer any questions.

    maybe “feeding” the animatronics at night is as literal as we think, just not the type of food we’d expect. you said yourself at 6:20 that chris sent bryan to the facility, and his inevitable death - perhaps this was always the plan? maybe he, or his remains, was eaten. playing into this theory could also explain susans story, following the pre established theory that she is the bunny that is said to be starving in the first episode (which explains how she was still “alive” in the suit, she somehow survived the attack but eventually starved to death despite being fed by the shadow man) this would mean that the food she is being offered is human remains, maybe she denied this and given no other options starved to death.

      Definitely something to consider! I think however, it’s important to note that currently Bryan is the only death that we know of that isn’t stuffed into an animatronic. Even with Ashley at the same facility, she’s killed and then stuffed into Billy the clown. So unless there’s more death be hind the scenes that we don’t know about yet (very possible!) I think it might be a different motivation behind the killing.

    when Felix crashed the car, he never really even checked to see if Ed and Molly were okay. Now yes, they could have been dead on spot from the crash, and yes they could have been still alive. Felix was intoxicated but I still like to think that he would've checked to see if they were breathing first. But- if Ed and Molly were in fact still breathing and still alive after the crash, then Felix just buried them alive.

    I’ve been saying that edd and molly posses Bon because they want their family back together. I don’t think it was out of rage that they were killing people, instead, since they are kids and don’t understand death properly, they think that since they are dead, the only way to reunite with their family is if they die too. That’s why they want Sophie and this also would explains the glitches. It’s two souls in one body. I think that it makes WAYYYYY more sense than Jack killing his family when it’s been confirmed that he was a loving husband and father by Martin.

    Also, from what I was told, Rosemary's screaming heard at the end of Sha's minigame (together with the twitching animatronic of her (Sha)) is the actual screaming of an adult woman referenced by Ashley in Relocate Project that got the restaurant condemned.
    Not to mention that the last time we see Bunnyfarm's title card (which then continues into the Magical Well of Memories), Bon has turned into Rocket as well.

    My only nitpick in this theory is the part about the animatronics being fed and Susan’s stomach feeling weird, which doesn’t seem correct considering the whole, “the rabbit is starving, the rabbit must get the owners attention” bit.

      I still strongly disagree with the theory that Susan was stuffed in the suit and starved inside it. What I think happened was Bon attacked and paralyzed her like he did with Brian. We see the image of Susan, outside the suit, with her saying that she’s still alive but can’t move. I doubt she was put into the suit immediately. I think she was stuck in that room, over the weekend, with nobody there to help her. She then died of starvation or dehydration, after which Bon stuffed her in the suit. The stuff about her stomach feeling weird is probably just her hunger.
      Also Martin himself confirmed that the voice at the end of episode 2 said “shadow man SEES me, when lights go off” so the whole thing about feeding is false.

    I think this theory is good overall but there are some things that just don’t check out. Firstly, I think that the message after susans death isn’t implying that she is still alive but instead ties into “the bunny is starving” from a previous episode meaning she survived initially but starved to death soon after. Furthermore I think its pretty undebatable that edd and molly are represented by rocket and the scene where bon is seen going insane with edd and molly around him is symbolic of jack’s grief for them,

    I have a small theory, I believe the shadow man was also a part of the cause of Felix’s car crash, and I believe this because in “The showstoppers 2 lost 1983 album” the song “slowly” contains this lyric “ shadow man, watches from the dark, he knows he wrecked the car, but swears he had no part,” it’s just a small theory that just came into my head.

    @VixinMcCloud 3 года назад +721

    Okay, this "feeding" idea is getting out of hand. There was a chance when it was unclear who the Shadow Man is, but the The Showstoppers II Lost Album (that itself is worth a deep dive) confirmed that Felix is the Shadow Man and unless he's no longer human, what would he gain from "feeding" the robots? There isn't anything in any of the videos that remotely connects the idea that dead people trapped inside robots need to be sustained in such a way beyond maybe that one line. The fact that Banny is the only one that mentions starvation while none of the others do have makes the insistence that this is the correct interpretation even more baffling. Boozoo is focused on not remembering his face while Shaw wants constant affirmation that she's beautiful despite having been mangled up. These are callbacks to how they died and are short-hand for the story to reference. Banny is the only one that has the potential for "feeding" to work because Susan starved to death. More likely the line is "Shadow Man sees me when lights go off" because (and this is my theory) Felix likely knows what happened and covered it up like he did with the Red Children. The "sees me" part could be another way of saying Felix only acknowledges their deaths when no one else is around. When the lights are off.
    Mishearing that line combined with the insistence to tie this world to FNAF rules is really hurting what could be a solid theory. Wondering why Jack would be murdering his family if he was Bon assumes that the personalities of the robots are one to one with the dead trapped inside and that can be strongly argued for FNAF. Not so for the Walten Files. If that was the case, why would they need such round-about methods to communicate? The FNAF robots had zero issues in that department. More likely the robots in the Walten Files are limited in their abilities and the mechanical aspect is stronger. When Bon found Rosemary, his eyes were in the "Looking For Friends (customers)" mode (when that mode was shown off in episode 2 where Susan was first seen) before she was killed. Also in episode 2, Shaw warned the viewers to not touch or shine lights at the robots. Both Brian and Ashley did that moments before they were attacked and Susan (I assume) touched Bon before she died.
    I could go on about other things that are off (Sophie was mentioned earlier in episode 1 when Rocket named her specifically , also her guard uniform was red which doesn't line up with the caretaker purple plus there isn't enough evidence that suggests Sophie really was a caretaker), but these are the biggest issues. It's a shame cus' you are right with Chris being sus and could be onto something with Charles.
    EDIT: Re-listened to The Showstoppers II Lost Album and the lyric "Shadow Man watches from the dark" came up. This is further proof that the line was never "feeds". but instead "sees". Seriously, give this album a listen. It's canon and could have spare you all a lot of hours.

      The uniform we see Sophie wear in episode 1 is likely her hotel uniform. She’s only in her early twenties, and I assume you need to be at least 18 to work at the facility. She said the pills are making her forget only her childhood years, so it would be weird if she forgot she worked at BSI just a few years ago.

      To tack on: maybe I’ve missed this and it’s already been confirmed but I don’t think that image of Sophie in a uniform and Bon behind her is not a flashback/memory but more a set up for the future. Like at some point Sophie will go back and will encounter Bon especially since there’s like what 9 more episodes. That just seems more likely than her working in k-9 as a 12-14 year old.

    I think that Felix is probably in Bon. Murdering the loose ends who would be looking for Jack, Edd, and Molly. I think that the spirits of Edd and Molly were around Bon because they were haunting Felix. I think the whole "they are beautiful now" is something a psychopathic Felix would be telling himself to cope/justify the murders. Also, the Billy recording/tape stating the 5 names was probably Felix either recording the names of his victims or keeping track of the loose ends (it was marked discard, which would track with it being incriminating for Felix). Felix being in Bon would also explain his absence because we don't ever get an answer to his fate. This is just my interpretation, and it may already be out there.

      It isn't that the lore is too hidden, it's that the series has retconned itself so much that the clues don't fit together anymore. If you want your series to have deep and complex lore, or lore that is constantly being rewritten, then it needs to be spelled out very clearly. For example, think Lord of the Rings, Marvel, or even Thomas the Tank Engine. If you want your series to have hidden lore, then the story needs to be short and simple, with few plot twists or recons. Like the Walten Fills, Don't Hug Me, I'm Scared, or any one-off theory MatPat does. FNaF's problem is that it has a complex story AND hidden lore.

    Just a thought:
    It is possible that Bon splitting into Edd and Molly's spirits be a symbolic way of saying that Jack Walten, the person I believe wholeheartedly to be inside of Bon, is fueled by the death of his children. He is fueled by the rekindling flame of what could be a being a whole family again, just in another body. I believe this because the whole "family back together" theory really ties well with the whole story in general. He lures his family members and other people crucial to Bon's Burger's success (besides Felix because he is the one that killed his kids after all) and started his own family. Here is why I believe this to be true:
    First of all, at the point of 14:56, when he is glitching out when he is close to Edd and Molly, could that be Jack haunted by the death of his kids and remembrance to why he is doing this in the first place, to have a whole family again?
    Second of all, when Sophie is being told "a story about broken people; beautiful people", she is called "my little bunny". This could be a reference to the franchise itself, but since we know that she is a Walten, this could be Jack Walten calling her by a nickname he has given her before the contents of the story even took place, letting her know who he is. If Bon was Edd and Molly, it would not make sense for them to call her their little bunny (Older siblings are not usually called nicknames like that by younger siblings).
    Finally, and adding on to the second piece of evidence, when Rosemary is lured backstage by Bon, the voice Bon uses is very similar to the voice of the disembodied figure that called Sophie their "little bunny". If my theory is correct about Jack Walten being the one talking to Sophie at that moment, it will also confirm that Jack is Bon and he is the one luring them to him in the disguise of Bon to fix their broken family once and for all.
    As one man has said before me, ironically on a very similar topic, thank you for coming to my Ted Talk.
    P.S: Rewatching this got me thinking, in both the canon and non-canon animations on Martin Wall’s channel, Bon is not fond of Banny. This could be because most people associate banny to be Bon’s “partner”. This then correlates with why Jack possibly attacked Susan first, whether he didn’t like her or didn’t like something she did has no answers yet. She could have helped Felix with the Edd and Molly situation, or helped him when Jack left, which was before her death and before tape #3. This is just me thinking abstract however, so take it with a grain of salt.

    I had this theory that Edd and Molly were behind "everything" since that part in Bunnyfarm, that and the text; "Is sad that we can't actually remember you, but soon we will be together forever and ever"
    That's unsettling for little kids. And that explains too the "beautiful" thing: they became Rocket. Molly's favorite toy, something she loved and considered "beautiful"
    So, if this is the case, why in Relocate project we have that tape with the "hit" list? Simple: it wasn't a hit list in the first place. It was a tape to reprogram Bon. Something happened before the opening of the restaurant, Bon probably killed someone and Felix watched it.
    How he was going to say that Bon was killing people? He was so scared about it, being caught by something he actually didn't do. With this fact in mind, he tried to reprogram it to not hurt the people on the list, the people that were more close to Bon.
    Something that we haven't thought about is why the reprogramming stuff in the first place. Probably was Felix himself the one that broke Bon's eye and arm since the beginning: he knew what he... THEY do.
    So why keep it and not throw it away? maybe our friend Chris, who for a side character is everywhere, threatened Felix not to. He knows they are possessed and he is obsessed by this "miracle". Maybe he's insane and the voice we hear in the teaser "So Edd and Molly are..." Belongs to him. Let's remember that he played Bunnyfarm, and also was the one that send Brian Stells as a facility caretaker.
    Let's remember that BSI disappears at some point, they know what's going on.
    The sad thing about all of this is that maybe Felix isn't the monster we thought in the first place he was. Maybe, the line "Safety in pills, Sophie" comes from him trying to protect her.

      It’s even more scary because first episode it says “safety in pills” making her try to forget, while other ones try to make her remember what happened. I think the reason she needs to remember is because the robots may be hunting her down outside of the facility. Maybe even Sophie’s girlfriend will also learn about these events and maybe even get killed herself.
      For now that’s just a theory.

    And that makes me think that Jack is actually the bear (forgot his name sorry) who helps Sophie remember her past, since Jack is shown to be a kind and caring father, I believe it makes more sense for him to not be the killer.

      Felix pretty much did, after Jack asked him if he could do him a small favor Felix says “ I don’t know jack, today has been uh-“ then Jack immediately interrupts him. I’m fairly certain that when someone is obviously telling you or in the middle of telling you that they’ve had a bad day you should hear them out before asking them to do anything for you.

    Felix should be "Shadow Man" bc of the recent Lost Album upload that features the lyrics "shadow man watches from the dark. he knows he wrecked that car, and swears he had no part" (being repeated 3x) in the 2nd to the last song "Slowly". The words "shadow man" and "wrecked that car" being in the same song seem to me that it's pushing the statement that Felix 1) wrecked the car (as in crashed the car that led to Edd and Molly's deaths) and 2) He contributed to the disappearance of **maybe** Jack Walten and most likely Rosemary's (in the "missing husband" bit where Bon stuffs her body into Sha and the Shadow Man is watching).
    I recommend that you take a listen to the Showstoppers Lost Album, it's got super nice music as well as lore drops that go beyond just the lyrics (maybe the captions?)

    Also it was very quickly glossed over by Matt but the final jumpscares of bon grabbing his head and the faces appearing around him with the screaming probably indicate how jack found out about his kids deaths for sure.
    possibly having suspicions before getting put in bon and having them confirmed afterwards bringing him to reanimation. or something like that.

    the intro to this video will forever be the creepiest one to date. pop goes the weasel playing as the tv slowly descends into the madness of the walten files, showing felix crashing the car and killing jacks children, the glitches, all of that. super unsettling and definitely sets the mood.
