Thank you all so much for watching! Let us know what you think of this theory! If you have any evidence that could either prove, or disprove it, make sure to comment it!
I mean, this doesn't disprove your theory, but the acter who is working on Animaniacs isn't Mike's dad, it's cameo from Animaniacs designer
@@user-sc1nz1vb6l from the Animaniacs?? XD Which one, Yakko? Wakko?
Nah, sorry. I know you wanted to mean animatronics. But I just had too...!
This version of Afton clearly understands how the supernatural stuff works in this universe very well
The device at the beginning that kills the not-Markiplier guard is an AGONY EXTRACTOR!!! Why else would it have those face blades and be so brutal
It also gives a reason why he'd be hiring so many guards just to kill them off, he's farming agony!
He also knows how to control the children via the drawings in the pizzeria
He also very purposefully puts his suit head back on before he dies, to ensure that he will possess the suit post death
This After is VERY knowledgeable about all the different supernatural mechanics of this world, this makes him a lot more dangerous, even (or especially) after his death
Very important moving forward
There's an issue with Mike's dad working at Freddy's at all though, which is that Mike knows nothing about the franchise at all. If his dad helped invent the robots then he'd surely know something about them
The Schmidts being the movie parallel to the Emilys would make a lot of sense for the movie’s continuity.
Perhaps Nebraska was where Fredbear’s Family Diner was located, where William’s son was killed by Fredbear. Perhaps Henry (Mike’s father in this case) designed the springlock suits, causing William to want to take revenge on Henry by kidnapping and killing his son.
Interesting point! Fredbear’s could possibly have been located in Nebraska! This is speculation, but it could possible! We’ll just have to wait and see!
The Schmidt's being the movie parallel to Emily's would make a lot of sense for the movies continuity. Perhaps Nebraska was where Williams son was killed by Freddybear.Perhaps Henry ( Mike's father in this case) designed the springlock suits , causing William to take revenge on Henry by kidnapping and killing his son .
Or, crazy idea, the bite didn’t happen
@@SCP-469Fnaf fan try to understand the meaning of AU
@@Sonicmid The movie is literally an AU
WHERE THE BITE DIDNT HAPPEN
what did you think you were cooking
So just a note, the engineer in the training tape is not Garret Heinz, its a small cameo from the actual lead engineer who worked on the movie animatronics.
I personally do believe the idea of the schmidts being an equivalent to the Emilys, but still important to clarify that
Ah, thank you for letting me know! Yeah, this doesn't really disprove the main points, but it's good to note that this piece of evidence it false!
@@RemGamesand also the animatronic the engineer was working on wasn't chica because chica doesn't have ears and plus bonnie has the purple / pink eyes too
@@medhathefni9485 I think this was showing the creation of springtrap honestly
@@LoprinzessVTNO IT WASN'T AS WE CAN SEE FROM THE ELLA SPRING LOCK ENDOSKELETON AND THE RABBIT ENDOSKELETON IT IS COMPLETELY DIFFERENT AND SPRING BONNIE USED TO HAVE GREEN EYES NOT PURPLE BADGE CONFIRMED BY A PICTURE THAT WILLIAM TUKE WITH HIS SPRING BONNIE SUIT ON WITH VANESSA
@@medhathefni9485broski turn your caps lock off
I don’t understand any of this but your cat enjoyed hearing your voice ~ Remy’s mom
You're son is mentally insane, send him to therapy immediately
@@acid_x_touch4968wtf is wrong with you lol
you’re an awesome mom. there is a lot of weird people on yt don’t listen to the comments.
Awww, I miss my cat. Thanks mom!
this is the sweetest youtube comment ive ever seen
the biggest hole in this theory is mikes lack of recognition of freddy’s. if his dad worked there wouldn’t he have previous knowledge about the franchise/pizzeria? it all seems brand new to him when he gets there
he probably knew about the killing and never wanted mike to find about it
but the fact that mike does not know about the restaurant or the animatronics does not make sense , I mean its his father’s pride
@@GreeniePack. even still, mike was alive prior to the killings so if his dad was henry he would have probably spent a lot of time at the pizza place as a kid and theres an even better chance he would know vanessa if their fathers were friends
It might be a plot twist where Mike doesnt remember things right and has purposefully lied to himself to keep himself sane
@@mrplayfulshade1038eh that's kind of a stretch
I just don’t believe that William did not intend to kill Mike. I think it’s pretty obvious that he just wanted to either kill him at a specific time or wanted him to die at the hands of the animatronics like the last security guard. In fact Foxy is pretty obviously on his way to drag him off to the Torture machine when Mike chases his ghost down in the dream and Vanessa arrives and disrupts him.
You do have a point about the torture machine! However, this was used after Mike learned the truth about the animatronics. William told Vanessa that if he learned the truth, then he should be killed, so this still work off of what we says. Wanted Mike to survive while not learning the truth still work here. It doesn’t seem that William always wanted him to die.
Well you have to remember that the animatronics do try to stuff security guards into suits, thinking that they are endoskeletons as stated in the game. I dont think he was trying to kill mike there i think it was the suits thinking he was a suitless endo
The entire reason William sent him there was because he was technically a witness, he even gets SUPER nervous
@@ContemplatingSaturnthe suitless Endo thing was an offhand comment made by phone guy in FNAF 1. The phone guy also said some other incorrect things. Like how the foxy mechanic worked and about going limp and playing dead. He's not a reliable source of information.
For real life
Actually, if you watch Behind the Scenes interviews, the guy playing the mechanic was the one who actually supervised the actual building of the suits at Henson’s studios for Blumhouse. That’s why he wasn’t credited as the character. He was already credited for supervision, fabrication, and maintenance of the suits during production.
Ps. I do and don’t see how you can mistake him for the actor portraying Mike’s dad. Their faces are completely different, minus the facial hair being the common denominator.
Again, for the Movie I think it's an alter Cannon where Afton ended up with someone else so Mike and his Siblings had a different father, and William had a different Wife and Child.
I agree, we are definitely not in the same timeline here
@@RemGamesno it very much could be the same
@@nicholascernatescu6685no bro thats the whole point of the movie, to tell the story in a different way to add onto the lore of the games that we gotta figure out ourselves
Children for real life
The engineer is in the credits I believe. He was one of the actual technicians who made the animatronics for the movie sound a cameo.
I just looked on Google Maps, and it seems WAY more likely that the movie takes place in two states - North Dakota and Minnesota. East Grand Forks is called "East" Grand Forks because it is the eastern portion of Grand Forks, a city in North Dakota. Grand Forks lays on the border of Minnesota and North Dakota, so it would make much more sense if Freddy Fazbear's Pizzeria was in Grand Forks, while Mike and Abby live in East Grand Forks. Boom. Location solved.
I live near East Grand Forks/Grand Forks this theory could totally work!
If this is a thing with the Schmidts being the Emily family then it’s interesting that the amount of children are flipped. Like instead of Henry having the 1 daughter in the movie William does and Henry has 2 sons when 1 daughter.
But henry emily actually had twins in the book, Charlotte or Charlie and Sammy (who I believe is still alive)
For real life that is so awesome for you
My brain exploded. It makes so much sense because at the end credits, the music box song plays hinting the puppet will come back, and if the Schmidt's are tied to the Emily's then it makes just so much sense to me.
Yes it does
William Afton also has a beard. It could just as easily be William working on the Endo. The name Shmidt would be familiar to William as the kidnapping would have been all over the news and included the kids name.
I could help a bit with the GFPD part. I actually live about fifty miles from EGF. It is a sister city located in Minnesota like you said. However if you cross the river to the west you would be in Grand Forks ND. It's very possible that Jane lives in EGF but Freddy's is located in Grand Forks and that's why it is in Vanessa's territory.
This is a great theory! Though there is one thing I think might throw a wrench into it. When Mike first encounters spring bonnie, spring bonnie says "you couldn't just leave it alone, lucky me" this makes it sound like he's happy that he gets to kill Mike.
That explains why Garrett doesn't try to escape the car as he knows probably knows Afton..
There is a reason the actor playing the engineer’s name isn’t in the credits. He’s actually a cameo from one of the actual creators of the animatronics for the movie. He’s from Jim Henson's Creature Shop. He’s not the same actor who plays Mikes dad. You can actually see him in some of the behind the scenes footage captured by some CZcamsrs that were on set. He demonstrates the Freddy head with blades in it.
Omg, I remember this channel making theories for DHMIS show! I'm glad to see it's still going strong!
Videos like this one are so nostalgic, and so was the movie. I remember my buddy and I being obsessed with the franchise back in 2015-2018 and we listened to hundreds of theories.
Most of all I really love your style, it’s itself very nostalgic and enthusiastic, really brings me back to my childhood. I really enjoyed the DHMIS videos too ;)
No possibility of Garret possessing Balloon boy? He appears before Mike, and he gets into a car at the end, and Garret has a connection with cars.
Good question! I don’t think that the little Balloon Boy figure can’t be possessed as it’s simply a figurine without any mobility, however, it is possible that the actual balloon boy animatronic is possessed, but there is no real proof to support that.
I was thinking the same thing but almost like what ram said bb isn’t possessed by garret garret is using him almost as like thing that he can move to show he’s there
Together we are FNaF
Step aside Asgard, the FNaF community is here
@@RemGames XD♥♥♥
I mean in the games Mike's last name was originally Afton, but he switched it to Shmidt so he could work at the fnaf 1 location. So maybe Mikes's dad could've done the same thing in this universe.
My own theory when I watched the movie was Mike’s dad was actually Henry Emily. After Charlie was murdered he and his pregnant wife left town and moved to Nebraska where she gave birth and they regularly went camping with friends as their family grew up. Afton knew where they liked to camp and as revenge for abandoning the company Afton kidnapped Garret, having planned on grabbing both the boys but he couldn’t get to Mike without getting caught. I mean who would be most likely to have the ability to speak to the victims of William than the unborn sibling of two of the victims?
Maybe Golden Freddy is after William and he’s hoping that if Golden Freddy kills Mike instead he’ll move on as it’s likely hes posessed by Garret? I dunno about my last idea but I don’t think we can really rule much out for which direction the next movie will go. Maybe it will be revealed that there are two Mikes, Mike Schmitt who would have been Mike Emily, and Mike Afton, Vanessa’s brother
I think Balloon Boy is just meant to foreshadow the next movie tbh but I could be wrong
Edit: Meant to say before I pressed send, love the video as always, I’ve never watched a video of yours that didn’t entertain me, can’t wait for Season 2 of DHMIS and the second fnaf movie 💜
I wonder, is Henry’s last name confirmed to be Emily in the games? If not, the implications of Mike using the Schmidt last name would be wild.
I love this theory! Its very possible! Another thing i was thinking about it maybe Mikes dads last name is Emily but Schmidt is his mothers name and the family took the mothers last name? William maybe knew him before he married and then after so he knows both last names. Thats my guess if they still wanna keep the Emily name but keep the Schmidts name to keep it ambiguous for the audience.
That could make sense. In the book henry actually had 2 children (but twins) Sammy and Charlotte. When Charlie died henry and his wife's marriage were strained and they got a divorce and the wife got custody of Sammy.
just personally, i see this as a swap of the families, as opposed to *just* allegoric to them, because it doesn't line up quite right in my head otherwise.
There's holes in the idea, such as what would make William snap down the path he went down, but if you see Garret as Evan, Vanessa as Charlie, and Mike and Abby as mike and Elizabeth, the narrative doesn't have to flip fully for it to make sense. William and Mike's father (from here on Henry) still go into working together, Charlie would still die, though in my head, as the bite victim where *garret* would become the puppet. If we take it as Garret being a late revenge, the reason Mike wouldn't know about freddy's is because Henry would've moved them out of state after the death of charlie, when Mike was too young to remember what his dad did, keep in mind, Freddy's was VERY successful, meaning Henry probably would've had the money to burn if he wanted to move away.
I have a theory:
William and his wife are confirmed to have been divorced and that William cheated his way of custody of Elizabeth (Michael Afton's sister) so it's likely that Mike's father we see is actually his step father and William got custody of his daughter.
It lines up with Mike and Vanessa being about the same age, William’s reaction to knowing Mike's full name, his reason to kidnap and kill Gareth and him knowing about Mike being his brother.
Garrett, Mike and Abby are Henry's children or Mr. Schmidt
@@gigantesupremo97555 yes but we know so little, meaning a bid twist can easily happen, just like the games
I believe that Mike’s younger brother is probably going to be Balloon Boy. I believe the reason we saw it twice in the pizzeria is because he wanted to see if it was truly his older brother Mike. And the reason we saw it get in the Taxi at the end, is because it knows the Taxi drove from Mikes house and probably wants to go there to reunite with his family.
I'm pretty sure the mechanic was a cameo of someone who actually made props for the movie so that's why he didn't show up but I may be wrong.
The actor that played the mechanic was one of the puppeteers
The mechanic is the real guy who made the customs for the movie. It's a cameo.
Like Zoinks Scoobs I'm the man behind the slaughter
I’lL bE rIgHt BaCk!
Amazing theory! I really enjoyed watching this and I hope to see more from you!
Im not always great with theorizing but this movie gave me so many theories i feel like i should be making videos 😂 but nah ill leave that to you guys
You never know! If you have some good ideas, you should try it out! You never know what can happen!
“I promise I’ll be a good boy”- Micheal smchidt
One main problem to this theory is that if Mike's dad would be the engineer (aka Henry in this universe), Mike would surely know about the existance of the Pizzeria, since his father worked there. Great video nonetheless
Well if in this universe Henry and William worked together before Freddy’s at a different animatronic pizza place he wouldn’t know of it
My theory is that Mike has had some experimentation done on him, memories modified in some way
Maybe he somehow ran off or something after the mothers death and then started working there
It was confirmed that the mechanic guy was a tech person for the movie
If Mike’s dad worked at the pizzeria, wouldn’t Mike have recognized him in the tape?
So him kidnapping the Schmidt child is this universes version of him killing Henreys daughter in the game...
I hope the 2nd movie takes place before the 1st movie and follows a security guard discovering Williams' backstory and it actually has William as the main villain. Could also make the 1st movie make more sense to casuals and make the "I always come back" line make sence.
It won't unfortunately, fnaf 2 is gonna be a sequel and not a prequel like in the games
We likely will get afton backstory, but it wont be a prequel
I believe balloon boy is one of Henry’s creations. In the books, there’s a genius inventor who turns regular wood into a moving creature. It’s implied this is a parallel Henry. This would explain balloon boy and Marionette type characters. There’s no children to posses them, nor are there any electronics or mechanical components.
So I have a question to the "Garrett" theory:
If this is true, then which was the motive for William to abduct/kill Garrett? Also, is there a possibility that Garrett is maybe possessing the puppet? Lastly, thank you for covering up some things from the fnaf movie!
Always excited for a remgames theory!
Thank you so much! We tried to pulled out all the stops for this one!
I'd say the animatronic being worked on in the scene is actually the springlock suit for this doll thingy, since the middle part looks exactly the same (which idk if it makes sense, but it really really does look the exact same)
As interesting as this is I find it strange that Mike wouldn’t know anything about Freddy’s if his dad worked there when he was little
I think it’s possible he wouldn’t remember. Mike has a big trauma of his brother being taken away very young and possibly whatever happened to his dad so it’s very possible he doesn’t remember certain details about his childhood (which also makes sense since a similar thing happens to the animatronics with the whole not remembering what happened to them thing) Also id imagine after the deaths of the children happened the dad either left, stopped talk about freddy’s, or took his own life. So it’s not like it’d be talked about any other time. I can definitely imagine some sort of scene where mikes given a picture that shows he actually HAS been to like fredbears before and completely losing it remembering certain traumatic details about his dad.
I want Vanessa, Mike, Garrett, and Abby to all be Aftons in a way
William and Mrs Afton have a daughter named Elizabeth and a son named Mike, William wants to find the secret to preserving consciousness, meets Henry, learns about animatronics and computers, sees that Henry has the ability to create life, but not really through code, and he strives to understand that, ends up finding his version of that in remnant, by killing kids, he steals an animatronic of Henry’s and turns it into a kid harvesting machine like the others, the one he stole kills Elizabeth, he eventually makes multiple Elizabeth bits, including Vanessa, and I hope we also see Circus Baby as one of them
Now William isn’t just fighting to preserve himself, but his family too, the deeper into all of this he goes, the further away he really is with his family and his business partner Henry
Mrs. Afton leaves, and takes Mike with her, eventually she and Henry connect and marry, they have Garrett and then in one of Williams sprees he decides to kidnap Garrett along with the other MCI kids, Henry is distraught and leaves, not knowing she was pregnant with Abby, Mrs Afton either dies in childbirth or maybe at the hands of William and turned into Ballora, Abby and Mike are then on their own and eventually meet up with Vanessa, I think Garrett is the puppet (the golden Freddy only had a blue eye, I think this means the green eye was the crying child, who I think Garrett is in this films canon, but then, why doesn’t Garrett cry, why the airplane? These differences must mean something right?) if at some point we see Golden Freddy with a green eye, then Garrett is there, the “It’s Me” was on the mirror, so idk
Abby is puppet-coded, the way she brings all the animatronics together, they’re her friends, etc, it reminds me of the puppet mini games
Either way I think Mike’s memories have been altered either through trauma or William meddling
I think it’s more likely everyone but Vanessa are Henry’s kids, I think Vanessa is a robot which is why he didn’t feel bad about stabbing her, Elizabeth died already
Maybe Mike is a robot too idk lol
Tbh that would make sense because there were no romantic implications between Vanessa and Mike, even though they are a male and a female character in a movie. If ive learned anything from watching movies, is that they WILL shove unecessary romance down your throat at any step they can, so the fact that they didnt might actually lead to a reveal that vanessa and mike are siblings
@@skyrat1896 the only thing that felt romantic was when Vanessa asked if he wanted to dance, imo that one line was meant to kinda be this trilogy’s version of the Luke and Leia kiss from Star Wars. Scott is a sci-fi fan after all, and he has made FNAF as a series sort of “rhyme” like Lucas has Star Wars rhyme
sorry but BB is almost definitely the puppets calling card. i would also go so far as to say that the puppet is the one cleaning up after the kids
I think it’s been confirmed that Vanessa was the one doing the cleaning up.
She’s also in the police department meaning she could more easily hide the deaths the animatronics kill more easily than the puppet.
@@tectamk.thorne7837 true, but i mean the bodies moreso. the puppet is the one who stuffed the kids, it would make sense hes stuffing even more now (like max being in shadow freddy)
@@terribleTerrestrialI think the bodies are done by the animatronics themselves, like in the first 2 games
Why couldn’t the balloon boy figure be haunted just because it’s a small figurine? I don’t think ghosts require moving parts to attach to an object lmao
wow fascinating take! (the video was uploaded 3 minutes ago i have NOT watched it) (yet)
No it’s totally fine, what do you mean? You just watched the video on 10x speed and could retain all the information. I’d call that skill if not anything else
@@RemGames well yes ofc! I just thought id give all the PLEBS not on my level an explanation so they dont go questioning my insane skill!
Very good, I was thinking the same thing about the robot technician and Mike's Dad but somewhere I saw a behind the scenes that said the tech was played by the head puppeteer, not the Mikes Dad actor. Think we're on the right track tho
The balloon boy theory makes sense now
There is still a chance that it’s incorrect, but I think it’s the best explanation we’re going to get for now!
I also think Garrett had to know who took him since he easily went without a fight and didn't seem scared or upset in the car either
I would like to point out that supposedly Henry killed himself in Fnaf World and the game itself could be a representation of Abby's and Mike's dreams.
Very good point!
I like the parallel ideas, but we need to also remember that there has been years since Garret got taken and perhaps William lived in Nabraska at the time
Honestly nah I think he just happened to be in the same place as Mike when he took his brother, and just recognized the name and potentially saw a resemblance years later.
Also Balloon Boy is just a spooky reference.
I actually think that makes a lot of sense at 9:50 if that is indeed his father it would tie in ruin that we see engineering equipment. This makes me want to watch the movie again lol
Great theory! I hope more people see this!
Hey man! Love your theories, you have a lot of really good points, one thing tho, i think the animatronic the engineer is working on is not chica. Chica doesn’t have ears while the animatronic the engineer seems to be working on does. It could still be bonnie since the eye color is very similar.
For real life
Appreciate the first attempt at solving this but these theories I think you're off on most stuff here. Makes sense as it just came out so thanks for the video regardless!
I think their last name is actually Schmidt-Emily, it just hasn’t been said fully yet
I suspect that the GFPD is actually just Golden Freddy Police Department. No reason for the movie to be in a real city.
One theory I like is that Mike is biologically William's child, but his wife divorced him and married Henry, but they changed their names to Schmidt to protect their identity
As for why he doesnt remember Freddy's? Repressed memories, he forgot since he would have been about 6 at the time of its closure, or because of how much he was dwelling on Garrett's murder and, Seeing as he forgot key details like Afton's license plate, he didnt try and remember Freddy's
“Mike from FNAF 1 hanging out with vannesa from SB fighting spring trap from FNAF 3 while saving Abby from being stuck in a spring lock version of Ella from the books” end quote 5:13 they really wanted them to recognize the movie characters( also sparky the dog(hoax) is there)
I got Tricked into thinking you were matpat and I was watching game theory
I’m pretty sure Abby is supposed to be Charlie, because she’s the most connected to the MC, and she’s the one who puts there memories back together at the end of the movie, not to mention that the animatronic that chica puts her in is literally Ella from the books, the robot Charlie posses, so yeah I think Abby is Charlie, not Elizabeth
2 things why doesn’t like remember Freddy’s or his dad working at Freddy’s ion know bout y’all but I generally remember where my dad has worked
So the puppet is possessed by garret in this universe. It makes sense with the end credits secret message where the voice spells out COME FIND ME with my grandfathers clock playing
Very much so! We don’t have any good evidence for it, but I think we can speculate that the puppet is possessed by Garrett!
East grand forks, MN is border with grand forks, ND. Literally like across the highway you are in another state. So its possible they are in MN, but Vanessa works for the GF PD but takes trips over to MN to check on the place. Or she isn't a sheriff. Maybe her dad has her drive the GF car around as to not draw suspicion if she's seen in EGF parked for too long?
I think the “mentally ill child” part was hinting at Abby being autistic but maybe that’s just me, I don’t think Abby was seeing these same friends before Mike started working at the pizzeria, I think she does have imaginary friends but these ones are real, just my theory tho
Just hire me buddy. You can try to kill me, but it will never work
That explains why Garrett didn't seem scared while the car was pulling away during the kidnapping... He recognized William and thought of him as his dads friend!!!!
GFPD stands for granite falls police department and granite falls name also appears in the movie so it's not East Grand Forks.
Grand Forks, ND is the neighboring city to East Grand Forks. So my guess is that Mike and Abby and everyone lives on the EGF side and Freddy's and Vanessa police dept. are on the Grand Forks side. If William's work address is East Grand Forks this means this takes place in both East Grand Forks and Grand Forks.
Interesting theory so
Michael schimdt: just michael afton
Abby: the equivalent of Elizabeth
Garret: Puppet/charlie
So whos the crying child or he possibly wont exist in this universe.
To put it simply Williams kids are how Henrys kids well okay
12:00 that’s why Mike doesn’t recognize the animatronics, his dad worked at a Chica’s pizzeria not a Freddy’s, and maybe Chica looked different back then, and his memories are fucked up from trauma
Here's my FNaF Movie Theory.
The Schmidts are the Emilys in hiding. There are several things that hint towards this.
1)Mike's brother Garret is kidnapped in a much more personal way. For one, considering they were taken while on an insolated camping trip, means that their kidnapping had to be much more planned. The license plate missing from the car not only confirms this, but so does the car itself being planted in the woods beforehand. A car doesn't drive to the location, instead Garret is thrown in the backseat then the car is turned on, which alerts Mike.
2)The only time William Afton is shown to personally go after a family is when he targets Henry's family, especially in the games.
3)This explains why Mike moved from Nebraska. Believing his sons were being targeted, something the Police would also think, they go into Witness Protection, changing their last name.
4) If the Emily's went into hiding, they likely would've left the state. This explains how Mike did not know about the missing kids incident, and Garret being taken in Nebraska confirms that the MissingKidsIncident actually took place in Nebraska.
5) This also explains why Mike knows nothing about Freddy Fazbear's pizza. Henry and William made Fredbear's Family Diner. In the movies, this is likely where balloon boy and the puppet came from as well as Golden Freddy.
6)This explains why William Afton kills. Its after he kills Garret that he gets a taste for it. This would mirror the games and the books.
8)This also explains why the torture device exists. He made it for Garret, so he died indirectly because of his father's creations. The torture mask would then inspire Freddy's new look.
To summarize:
Henry Emily and William Afton open Fredbear's. In the movies, the balloon boy and puppet are also made here, explaining why some anamatronics have different asthetics in the movies. Afton, jealous of Henry's perfect family, plans and successfully kidnaps and kills Garret. The nature of the kidnapping leads the police to think they're being targeted, so the family is sent into Witness Protection. This forces Fredbear's to close.
Soon after, Afton opens Freddy's in Nebraska. Mike nearly catching Afton leads to him developing the springlock suits. He then kills the kids, stuffing their bodies into the suits, but its actually Garret who initally 'woke up' their spirits inside the anamatronics. However, all through Vanessa's childhood and such, he groomed her to be a plant within the police. So, by the time the kids go missing, Vanessa is able to bury evidence and tip him off. She also is able to hack into the system, probably with Afton's help, and figure out what state Henry is in as well as his new last name. However he cannot find out more in time before blowing his and Vanessa's cover. So soon after the missing kids incident makes the news, he moves to his best educated guess as to where Henry is and sets up his new identity there. His last act as William Afton to build a sister location in the new state, moving the anamatronics the bodies are in to there so the police in Nebraska won't find them. He only leaves behind the puppet and the Fredbear suit he stuffed a kid in, aka Golden Freddy, to possibly frame Henry if they're found. Vanessa changes her last name and moves to the new state under that name, taking a lower rank in the police department nearby so her only job is essentially to patrol Freddy's. This starts his several year manhunt for Mike, the only witness to his crimes.
Even though you have some of your logic flipped around...
To add to your story, aunt Jane is aunt Jen... Henry's sister.
Mike's dream is flipped. Like when Charlie was imagining Sammy was taken... but it was actually her. Mike was taken... not Garret
William gave Mike the look because HE knows Mike isn't a Schmidt
I believe Mike is Henry's son in this universe. Looks like his book counterpart and sounds like him. Disappears to focus on his work and probably will come back in the next movie.
Garrett, Mike and Abby are Henry's children or Mr. Schmidt
Hats off to you for using green text in the thumbnail to lure in fans of game theory
While the Schmidt's may live in East Grand Forks due to the court papers Freddy's and Vanessa's Police Dept must be in Grand Forks, ND which shares a state border with EGF, MN.
Was with you up until Balloon Boy. It doesn't make sense for Springtrap, who's locked in the backroom, to randomly put Balloon Boy into a taxi or either of the earlier places and the same goes for Vanessa. If anyone, it likely to be a ghost (either one of the animatronics or an unaccounted for victim) moving it around as a prank.
I like this theory it makes. The most sense in my opinion and it connects alot of things together
Finally a fnaf movie theory
I like the theory, but personally I dont think the balloon boy bits aren't anything deeper than surface level gags to reference how people find balloon boy obnoxious.
I like the theory but i saw somewhere that the engineer in the training video was one of the ppl that worked on the animatronic suits irl for the movie.
This really has nothing to do with the specific theory you've made here, but I was honestly hoping Charlie Emily would appear in the film similar to how she was in the novel trilogy. Minus the whole reveal of her being another robot chick.
Thank you for this ❤ explained so much!
I’m glad I could help explain it! Thank you for watching!
My guess is that the whole thing with the little brother (i suck at spelling names) is leading to the reveal of the puppet. Given the timeline's wiggle room of when the brother's kidnapping took place, plus the come find me at the end credits right after the juke box. This feels like it gives a very good opening since we never actually see the brother's spirit despite knowing of his death. Mix in with a sprinkly of plot motivation, Michael still needs to find his brother, thus second movie reasoning
Could Garret be a stand in for Charlie/puppet? That would explain his siblings supernatural connection, if Garrett is the source of that connection.
I mean I live in Grand Forks North Dakota and went to see the film in East Grand Forks. The only thing separating EGF and GF is a river
Garrett Hines (the actor who played mike’s dad) posted your video on his instagram story. I came to this video from his instagram stories.
Connecting to your theory of the emilys being the Schmidt’s I think that maybe garret could have some how been connected to Charlie in the books not knowing what happened to her brother that she once had and was taken by William afton
If Balloon Boy is tied to William, why was he in the taxi where William had never been or had any connection to?
This is a great theory, but why wouldn’t Mike recognize his own dad in the tape? Why wouldn’t he know of Freddy’s previously since his dad worked there?
Interesting theory
Engineer in the tape is real engineer who worked on animatronics lol
great theory, only issue about ballon boy taxi scene is that it may be of no consequence. William Afton is deliberately unable to move at the end of the movie and for Afton to jump scare a random driver makes no sense. Balloon boy being a calling card is nice but I don’t think the after credit scene should be taken seriously as it wouldn’t make sense in terms of BB being used to show that springtrap is up and roaming. Also odd that BB has no other cameos and is used as a trinket hinting it coming from another location maybe where Afton originally set up like Fredbears
Good to see I'm not alone in this line of thought.
You forgot something king! If we're going over the family then we should expand on another family member, like Aunt Jan. Is she the Dad's sister? And what has the bigger conversations she was gonna have with Mike later on. Maybe she was gonna drop some info on Where Mike's Dad was? Also, in the book Trilogy Charlie Emily has an aunt as well. Her name, Aunt Jen. Whom is the sister of Henry Emily.
Fnaf movie: Aunt Jan
Fnaf books: Aunt Jen

this is a very good point
It's Jane not Jan, but the vibe of Aunt Jen is there
@SalsCorner I got Aunt Jan off the Google search. Though, looking at the Wiki and the Imdb page, it's Jane.
He has to be it makes the most sense
I bet Schmidt is Henry's wife maiden name. That's why William would recognize the name since Henry was his business partner.
Garrett, Mike and Abby are Henry's children or Mr. Schmidt
