- After almost a whole year of on-and-off work, I present to you a rather different take on Hidden In the Sand. (Well ahead of my planned due date too! Neat!)
This video started out as just a quick lil short made for funsies, but then I quickly got carried away lol. This video was basically the main reason I've been radio silent for most of the year. (Along with a lot of important personal life stuff that happened during this vids production)
I couldn't be happier with how this video turned out! This might be my most thorough music video yet! I hope y'all enjoy it as much as I did making it!

The Nightmare Chica is genuinely the most disturbing of the designs, it's uncomfortably smooth and kinda plays into the fear of massive open mouths ready to swallow you into darkness.
What got my ass were her eyes
She was just chilling until...
Boom
*She saw you*
That shit made my spine tiggle
@@Flinty-Oven lmao
Also her rapid head movement looked like that of an actual chicken.
It's like a terrifying play on what is organic, mixed with the mechanics of an animatronic
It's especially scary for me at least because I have a very irrational way of being creeped out by birds.
making her act like a real animal is fuckin genius, its the only way to make her otherwise pretty goofy design unnerving
These Nightmare designs are like what the OG animatronics would look like if a very small child tried to recreate them from memory, which is honestly perfect.
no not really lots of sharp teeth is what kids think
If I'm being honest, these are what the nightmare animatronics should've looked like
They honestly kinda reminded me of 3D models for an animation that wasn’t finished yet.
@@angelo_studios5477Yeah, but i think it depends on your interpretation of fnaf 4. The metallic nightmares are better for michael as the main character, these are better for CC as the mc.
@@josephwatts3961yeah i asked my friend who makes stuff like this what they though about it and they said the same thing
Am I the only one who would actually watch a full performance by Nightmare? He looks so smooth and friendly when he's singing as a robot.
That actually fredbear in this au
@@Sonicmid I'd still watch
Song is catchy
Bros daymare💀
Yeah, wholesome covers by Nightmare would hold my attention
One thing I especially love about this is how actually friendly and sweet Nightmare looks before he turns into... that. Like, that's what the animatronics were supposed to be, before everything went haywire. It adds onto the tragedy even more in my opinion.
I thought that was lefty
@@Scarredcheesenuggetme too bruh ;-;
I love how friendly the actual animatronic version of him looks. Even more friendly looking than the toy animatronics from the main franchise. Really differentiates between the nightmare version of him
Might because the animatronic actually blinks, making it look less unnerving.
@@thedragonthatlovesskittles7132humanizes it
@@potatoman3219 yep
And that's why at 0:48 and 1:28 and just wrong and creepy
It's a combination of being "softer" (no hard edges) the good lighting, and the realistic body language.
I gotta say, the way that Nightmare does not seem at all in control his own anatomy/unstable (eyes seemingly growing and shrinking at will, etc) and him not being bound by the dimensions of the room (seemingly too tall for the closet) just made my fucking SKIN crawl and I applaud you for that
He really feels like some impossible creature a kid would dream up
I know right
Dude. It makes me think that the presence of Nightmare in Michael's dreams completely warps everything because seeing Fredbear in any form causes all of the trauma to flood in at once.
During the scene where he is sitting in front of a brain 1:40 , some black liqud comes out of his mouth and falls onto the brain, almost like he is drooling onto the brain
@@rabadoo yeah! It's as if it's showcasing that he's hungry for the brain.
The black goop may also represent the large amounts of blood that came from Evan's head.
@@turtleninja16tn66question: how come its implied that nightmare caused the bite of 83 in this video rather than fredbear?
I really love how the foxy mask and plush are torn until it's revealed that it was Michael's nightmare, it really represents guilt
The way Bonnie's pupils dilate is so realistic that she looks like a complete threat ready to take you out in the dark, and God! Foxy's eyes are so haunting and inhuman, they give me chills
Same! The animation is Amazing
I literrally cant out this video of my mind for 2 days (the first time)
Bro bonnie is a boy
he
years ago i thought bonnie was a girl too LOL
A small detail I just noticed but absolutely love is how the nightmare version of Foxy has much smaller eyes compared to everyone else, showing both the knowledge of Foxy being used as a cruel mask against the viewer, but also showing that the viewer KNOWS who's behind that mask to a point, yet unable to see much more than just the eyes out of fear
Readimg this I just notice how Foxy's mask when it first showns its covered on blood, cuz the brother was the nearest to crying child when the bite happend
Another detail about the eyes: in the beginning where the first animatronic was singing, they had round pupils, typically meaning they weren’t predators, but after it started switching to the other animatronics, the eyes became slits, like a predator cat. This also goes for Bonnie, but I just really like the change from human-like to apex predator.
Also foxy is the only one with two mouthes showing that it is in fact a mask
@@loudsilencer8130 bonnie has it too
its not that deep lil bro
I love how real Fredbear's design strikes a perfect balance between being legitimately cute and presentable to kids AND having one of its most distinct features be his teeth. It adds even more context to the crying child's fear of mouths.
The organic nightmares are also a great way to show how -- from the eyes of a child -- the animatronics can be seen as real creatures and not robots. (On top of the designs being 10x scarier)
thats nightmare not fredbear
☝️🤓 erm actually that's nightmare.
@@sxw19x you didn't need to comment like that.
Hey, nerdy mf over there, what's the fear for jaws/mouths?
This is the most unsettling fnaf has ever been
1:47 I love that you can hear Nightmare's jumpscare sound in the background.
As a child, the second i saw bonnie, i had the strongest involuntary reaction I've ever had, i think that was the point to scare and you succeded of my god
Those nightmare models are genuinely creepy, they give creepy vibes that no other FNaF model has ever given me.
Edit: Viewers, don’t reply if you don’t respect my opinions or think I haven’t seen almost anything the VHS community has to offer.
Same, especially with chica
The reason of this is because its to out of place.
@@Vilgax00 and organic looking. The official game designs have never tried to look like that.
@@DrizzyB this is why ı am saying its to out of place. The samething happend to Springtrap.
@@ethanmoffitt7091Chica and Bonnie are like my easy favorite designs from this vid I would love to see more of these models
I think the most disturbing part about The Hidden Nightmares is that unlike FNaF 4 where the animatronics are still robotic, here they are a lot more... natural. Still extremely unnatural, yes, but they've got the feeling of actual monsters a little kid would imagine. I think at the age the Crying Child was at, it'd be difficult to imagine the animatronics as robots. And also taking into account that a child's mind exaggerates scary things to make them seem scarier, this makes more sense than having 9-foot-tall robots waiting for you to open the door. It's absolutely fucking terrifying.
Really makes you feel like the child. Man I love psychology and how terrifying it is.
I agree, this is more in line with what I'd really imagine a kid sees in their nightmares too.
The official designs of the Nightmare animatronics are cool and all, but this is what real nightmares are made of; flesh and bone.
Utterly disturbing and I love it.
I’d love to see the animatronics act like real animals and hunt like them
And also that children probably see the animatronics as less robotic as adults tend to
It is possible that the reason he was so scared of them to begin with is because, given that his father was behind engineering them, he saw them under construction or behind the scenes at certain points and thus wasn’t able to imagine them as real talking animals the way most kids would at that age.
1:34 the way the flashlight is turned on and immediately you see nightmare's head turn to youre direction is just freaky beyond words
I love Nightmare's design when he is on stage singing
2:11 CC looks scary and at the same time adorable With the Nightmare mask
Making the animatronics look organic is a genius idea. It makes them appear extremely uncanny and unsettling! Great work
and that's how a child would see the animatronics too
edit:(but it's Michael we play as)
@@starderbergexactly
It's fnaf 4 is the illusion disks were working properly lol
Would had loved to see animatronics like the Twisted in the games.
Their flesh fused with the suit Their flesh fused with the suit Their flesh fused with the suit Their flesh fused with the suit Their flesh fused with the suit Their flesh fused with the suit Their flesh fused with the suit Their flesh fused with the suit Their flesh fused with the suit Their flesh fused with the suit Their flesh fused with the suit Their flesh fused with the suit
One thing I noticed is how much jaws and mouths are emphasized.
Like how multiple times characters have their jaw lower to an impossible reach. Or how much mouths are put on display. Its that extra attention to detail that makes this so much more creative.❤️
I assume it’s a reference to the bite
Also love the extra set of teeth on some characters to semi explain the endo mouths (Bonnie and foxy) don’t really know how a bunny and fox mouths look but I know they don’t look like that
Often because they are robots first and animals later this is animals first and robots later
@@powertouncleben I know and I love it
Glad someone else noticed this!! its such a cool little detail
This was the first fnaf video in years that I’ve found genuinely unnerving. Like I gasped the first time I saw that shot of Bonnie in the hallway. The design is incredible on its own, but making them so large really sells it. Also the music choice is spot on.
the way the lighting, environment, and figures deform in this animation is in my experience very indicative of actual nightmares; especially the scenes of Nightmare in the closet and bed. Nightmares just don't make sense; familiarity is thrown out the window, and everything seems to go the complete opposite of how you want it to go. This animation captures the essence of a nightmare, in that everything goes wrong in every imaginable way possible.
The original horror of the animatronics was based off how uncanny Scott's 3D models were. But for me, those animatronic designs have been around so often that they became oddly normal again. Re-establishing the uncanny valley with an organic influence on the robot designs was a genius next step!
Yep
i love how you made the nightmare animatronics actually look like something you'd see in a nightmare, very unsettling, great job!
they're not as robotic or artificial as the actual Nightmares. they have genuine teeth, and flesh. their mouths lack tongues yet have inner cheeks, it's exactly how a child would see them, big, colorful, eyeless monsters that tower over them, teeth sharp and bared, and most frighteningly of all, even in the actual games. they're Breathing can bea heard, right outside your door....
@@Movin2DBiitidk man kids are afraid of monsters with sharp teeth, and if the kiddo found them scary due to their mechanical nature then it’s missing the robotic part, though I agree these designs are more unsettling and something that you and I would probably see in nightmare
@@Movin2DBiit And all of that puts on that they don't have a throat... They are living and breathing monsters, with sharp teeths, a tongue, but no throat, which really makes them have a more Nightmare-ish look, since kids in nightmares, doesn't think about how anatomy works, but rather how much they fear the things that appear in the nightmare, and how their mind makes them really fear from them...
It feels so fever dreamish
Nightmares are not always like they are in the video, it will depend a lot on the age or how the characters are portrayed, nightmares can have everything
I love the subtle differences between Nightmare and his Real Animatronic counterpart. It makes the child’s nightmares seem more realistic, instead of being complete different but horrifying versions of the actual animatronics, they are just slightly different yet still terrifying which makes it all the more perfect
I love how the entire animation feels like a real nightmare like this is something I definitely would've woke up in a cold sweat thinking about when I was a kid, especially with how it increasingly gets more unsettling and the quick transitions mixed with the slight blurriness as well, it captures that nightmare feeling so well.
Definitely one of the more unique takes I've seen of the nightmare animatronics, it reminds me of little nightmares and how everyone looked liked things wearing oversized masks. Chica was definitely hands down the creepiest one, the empty void inside her was so horrifying. You did an amazing job capturing these
Chica with the voided eyes and the lack of teeth sure made her the creepiest of all for sure.
Even though Chica was very disturbing, so were the fredlings!
It’s definitely Bonnie and chica that hit me. Bonnie’s frame approaching then suddenly apear ring in front of the screen. Chica sensing and finnally finding us, only to let out a curdling scream. These designs are actually horrid.
@@Pyo1234wfc😭😓🙏🥺🖐️🏃🏃🏃
Rhfbcjmjljy no erulwy te
This is what should have been the actual Nightmare animatronics. As kids, we believed that mascots were actually alive and not just a costume. So taking that to the extreme, they should have organs and flesh. A kid seeing a mascots head is like seeing a decapitated man. This is perfect!
But absolutely terrifying
😂
@@genabeana077thats the point
I don't think our little crying fella thought they were alive, he was son of William Afton after all, Its possible his dad took him to backstage few times before going insane
@@wodekw6862 it's thought that the nightmare animatronics are creation of Afton himself, as a way to punish Mike for the death of his younger son. And Mike knew they weren't alive, he knew they were meant to be safe, but what he didn't think about was the power of the hydraulics and electronics inside the mouth.
more scary for adults not children
I adore the design work on these... I have no way to describe them other than, in the most flattering way possible, _wretched_ creatures and how Just enough about them feels wrong even when they aren't explicitly distorting themselves.
The way their pupils dilate into squares yet contract into circles. The way they all look distinctly like they have bare flesh rather than fur, feathers or felt. And as an extension of lacking hair, they lack claws of any sort and just have big, thick nail-less fingers and toes.Their mouths don't even lead anywhere as if they only have them to cause suffering.
And then the individual details. Oh man.
Bonnie's gigantic, weight lifting frame that looks like he could rip you in half without using his teeth.
Chica lacking her usual teeth, in fact lacking ANYTHING in her mouth. Just a constant gaping, black void that could swallow you whole just looking at it.
Foxy actually does look and move like an animatronic in the dark, implying he's consciously mimicking the robot to catch people offguard.
The Freddles gaping, toothless maws that look more like a bird's beak than the actual bird, combined with Freddy looking as if he's a living corpse with milky white cataracts in his eyes and a gaunt yet bloated frame.
But what I love about Nightmare is that it doesn't go for the obvious factor of making the mouth the most noticeable part or the motif he draws from. His belly mouth is basically incidental, and his teeth aren't any different from the others. No, Nightmare's strongest trait is his EYES. Because no matter what teeth, fangs or beaks are brought down upon Michael, it will never feel real when he wakes up, because he can wake up and realize very quickly nothing was done to him, and thus the creatures aren't real.
But a set of eyes doesn't need to prove itself alive or physical to feel as if it's watching you. It's why animatronics are unsettling to start with. It's a primary reason why the uncanny valley exists. Something that shouldn't be alive staring at you is one thing... but what if the stare behind those eyes is one of personal, visceral hatred?
I like how the foxy mask is depicted as bloody and worn out because it was worn by Michael when crying child got chomped. Maybe it symbolizes crying child’s resentment toward his brother and the mask he wore.
0:57 The way Bonnie's eyes dilate and his gums unhinge a bit right before it cuts away is such an underrated detail. Just adds so much to portray how these creatures are just mindless animalistic predators. It's even more disturbing and unnatural cuz it's a RABBIT behaving like a wolf or cat. Absolutely love this animation!
I like the designs compared to the originals for that reason. To a child, these animatronics are viewed as actual animals, hence why they design them more to look like fun, cuddly animals and make them more realistic. So the kid that got his head bitten wouldn’t view in his dream monsters made out of gears and withering, he would view them as organic, living monster animals out to eat him.
And it makes it even more interesting when you consider that since bunnies and rabbits are widely deemed "prey" food and their eyes are normally placed on the side of their heads which is a characteristic for a lot of prey animals, Bonnie's eyes are placed in the front and center, something more commonly seen and associated with predators.
I love the eye change on Bonnie 😅😰
That was the scariest part for me
Michael was scarier than anything in this video
Honestly, these designs make far more sense for FNAF 4 than the ones in the real game do. A child would see them as real, not just animatronics.
unless they knew they were animatronics to begin with, which i doubt.
RIGHTTTT
Thing is that this is supposed to be Michael's nightmare.
They are also way more lore accurate. I mean, isn't that what the illusion discs were made for? To make the animatronics look more alive and organic?
The point of the nightmare animatronics were to make mike stay away from the animatronic thus the heavy animatronic inclusion if it were organic mike would be scared of real bears than the animattonics
In all my time of watching/playing Fnaf games and shit.
Nothing has ever scared me when it came to them. Not the games. Not the jumpscares. Not the lore. Not the characters.
This...genuinely scared me. Well done.
ok i'm just had a terrifying experience because of this video, i was trying to sleep after seing this and i couldn't do it(obviously) but when i got close enough to almost fall asleep i opened my eyes and looked directly at the reflection of the tv that faces my bed, and saw all 4 animatronics in this video surrounding my bed and looking down at me,sufice to say that i bolted upright and almost flew out of my bed just to find out i had imagined the whole thing THANKS FOR THAT MAN REAL HAPPY THAT YOU MADE SOMETHING THAT CAN DO THIS KIND OF THING TO PEOPLE
bro no lie I just had that same experience. Like, this is nightmare material lmao. Legit this is the first time i had chills, if you get what i mean. Its so, realistic and unnerving
1:40 The most disturbing detail is that in the dark Nightmare sees himself eating a brain, posing the serious bite he gave to Evan with a brain and you can still see blood coming out of his mouth.
Didn't saw the blood until now
i thought that blood was black liquid.
@@idontlikethishandlefeature.same tbh
The name of that nightmare is litearally nightmare
1:00 chica ☠️☠️☠️💀💀💀💀
It's crazy to think "organic" looking designs have only ever seemingly been done with the twisted ones. Applying that logic and messing around with it on the nightmares works wonders. fantastic job!
It's not scary
@@carnivorademon. That’s subjective…
0:22 I love how human-like Nightmare moves, it really adds to his charcter
was kinda sad when the music stopped, i was vibing fr
I think this would have been a legitimately more interesting way to portray the Nightmare animatronics than the robots we see in game. The idea that Evan sees the robots as real living monsters and thus sees them as such in his dreams is genius!
Who is Evan?
@@stolaslasa fanon name for the crying child
The fleshy look adds to the horror
Fnaf 4s protagonist is actually Michael they figured it out
@@RJTheCerealGuy The protagonist is actually (🤓👆) Michael and the crying child
Dude, I'm not exaggerating when I say that this is the most crepped out I've ever been by anything FNaF related. Making the nightmares fleshy and more life-like makes that so much more unsettling than the razor-sharp, bloody versions we know.
Agreed bro this is creepy
Super creppy!
I hope someone makes a fan game with these models. It would be truly unsettling
Yes they All feel like feral animals and it's unnerving
@@twister107 fr
I could talk about every little detail of this because there is SO much effort put into this
- the fangs on Nightmare
- the wallpaper in the bedroom looking like eyes
- the fact that Chica‘s bib says “FEAST!!!” instead of “Let‘s Eat!”
I could talk about and analyze every single little detail in this thing cuz there’s so much put into it that’s so fucking cool and I would be typing for hours if I listed every detail I love and why I think it’s so cool
Istfg I’m gonna get hyperfixated on this thing 😭
THIS WAS AWESOME. I love this whole new different take on Michael’s nightmares, mixed with the whole VHS horror vibe. The Crying Child jumpscare REALLY caught me off guard. Great work with this one, Smamuel.
This is such a cool way to interpret FNAF 4's story. The animatronics being these fleshy masses of animalistic horror, and the entire vibe perfectly captures the surreal aura around dreams and nightmares. I also notice that this video sorta follows the FNAF 4 is Michael's dream instead of Evan since we see him at the end waking up. His brother's death was so traumatic to him that even as an undead corpse, he's still haunted by his guilt.
Well to be fair we play as Michael in fnaf 4 not as Evan just so you know
@@jorgemoreno2097and your proof is...
@@seanjones3872The Freddy Files and the Logbook
@@jorgemoreno2097 actually no,because in the encyclopedia book it says that CC was the protagonist of fnaf 4, even though i believe that michael has had these nightmares too.
"Evan" lol
i think one of the biggest details that make these models so awful (in a good way) is the fact that the pupils dilate. Nightmare’s shrink down at the very start when he opens his eyes, Bonnie’s constrict when he sees the player; one could argue that Chica’s dilate when they notice you. it’s such a minute detail that helps so so much
Which makes them more animalistic than the nightmare animatronics from FNAF 4
Chica's eye did dilate, just the wrong way.
@@Mr.Feather130 These Nightmare Animatronics kinda reminds me of the Monster Animatronics from FNAC 3
@@maas1208 oh you mean nightmare rat and nightmare cat?
@@Mr.Feather130 Yes
Why is this the scariest thing I've seen recently holy hell
This is just touching that deep point of the Uncanney valley that creeps me out. Good job.
The way nightmare Chica rapidly deforms into a huge swallowing mouth as the space becomes darker and more contrasted to focus on her before cutting a way genuinely looks like how a nightmare actually goes sometimes. They just don't make sense as your mind loses control and twists consistent, recognisable forms into something all too different.
That part legitimately scared me
The freddles also do that before nightmare Freddy jumps at you
@@Lonkshi21Same, I could've had nightmares from that 😶
I confirm,there's a little house in the backyard of my house,like a room,that zone is a place of nightmares for me,i don't know why,but in my dreams i have to avoid that place at all cost,one day,in a dream,i was walking in the house,it was night,probably drinking water or exiting the bathroom,look at the backyard and i noticed someone let the door open,my vision focus on some dark creature running at me,can't remember what happen after that,but there's always something over there in my dreams..
(Sorry if something is writed wrong,i don't speak English)
This sounds like a beginning of a horror story@@AlinDarklight
The whole sequence with Nightmare at 1:34 has to be the best part. The way he twitches and moves so violently and silently is uncanny to a whole other level, and the way his jaw seems to unhinge itself when in the closet is probably one of the best ways you could exemplify Nightmare's unreal abilities. Truly a demon of the mind, bravo
It feels like it is what Evan would have seen with a missing frontal lobe, and it's terrifying. Like his brain is rotting, and THAT'S the only thing that's left...
@@nicolasburgosarrojo6699 Hearing his brother's voice, so calm, so reassuring, as if he isn't the one who bedrid CC in the first place, it must've awakened a fire within the child, which you're able to see in FNaF 1 as Golden Freddy torments his brother for killing him all those years ago.
@@sparrowanonPretty sure he isn’t intentionally tormenting him.
@@caylya7869 Probably, I'm pretty sure Cassidy was the one tormenting Michael for killing C.C and being related to Afton.
@@michaelshatou I guess. But pretty sure it’s just his guilt that is doing it.
Everything about this video is perfect. From The absolutely HORRIFIC designs of the the nightmares to the way it weaves in aspects of the lore. Michael being tormented by nightmares of his younger brother and the animatronics is so good it makes me wish it was a part of the actual story
That scene with Bonnie at the door is how I imagine toothbrush companies advertising their toothpaste
For those wondering what the gibberish at around 2:50 was, it’s from the song “Hidden In The Sand”, it’s a reversed message saying “Wouldn’t the world be better off if we took nonsense more seriously?” Which fits well with this, since it’s about nightmares which seem nonsensical, but as a child can have a very real impact.
Yeah.
i mean granted the entire song is hidden in the sand
(its from tally hall)
One of the many things I love about this is that every time the player is about to die, it cuts away, just like dreams. There's a certain fear to seeing what is undoubtedly going to be the death of the player, but having it cut away to a new threat before you can even process what you just saw.
Exactly, it's do cool! It reminds me that our brains don't know what happens after death, so every time that we're about to die in a dream we wake up

This would be how Evan Afton sees the nightmares, I mean
the nightmares that we see in the game:😱
what Evan saw and therefore what Michael sees🌚💀
I think how foxy's top lip curls up as if growling is a great detail to him because it makes and even greater connection to the fact that they act and look more like an organic animal, everything else is 10/10 excellent job
ok bro
Its so peak
Chica is definitely the most disturbing. Unlike the lighter almost cutesy design we see in a lot of fnaf games, Chica almost looks like a brute, she looks like she could easily overpower you. And the smooth skin-like texture of her body adds so much to that aesthetic.
she looks like a bloated monster
Most of the animatronics look quite organic, with all of them even seeming to have muscles, and well built ones too. Guess the crew's been hitting the gym.
I mean, she looks as much like a brute as the others do in fnaf 1 if that makes you happy
She looks goofy, not terrified or scared by her. More like scared she beats me too a pulp
Straight up grotesqueness
This animation perfectly depicts what nightmares actually feel like
ngl the song hits hard
it also kinda fits with the theme
but it gets better when the song just stops and pure silence just plays
I love the organic look the nightmares have. Really pushes the narrative that they're not actually real and are instead just projections
yeah if someone told me that they would be organic i wouldnt have thought it would be scary but after seeing this im having nightmares lol
Is so SO unnerving how strangely organic they look and "feel" if you get what I'm saying
This has got to be one of my favorite takes on the FNAF animatronics. The uncanny organic look is absolutely genius and ignites a different kind of fear I can't quite describe. I hope you'll continue to explore this concept, I'd love to see more
Yeah the organic look makes them appear creepier.
@@madara_senju7988the organic look is meant to show a child scared of the animatronics would look at them: like uncanny hideous monstruocities
Personally, it's on the verge of being perfect. I think a blend of the nightmare's clusterfuck-yness combined with an organic look could look really cool, but these just look kind of empty to me?
Not just organic but some unholy or possesed.. or is it just me?
I tell you what might happen, imagine a non-human creature, trying to be one, looking straight at you, and doing things that humans can't do.
This is now probably my favorite FNAF Animation for 1 main reason.
Even though its easy to make the Animatronics scary and evil, that isn’t the case. They are children's souls trying to kill their murderer but don’t know exactly who he is. But when dealing with that, it should be noted that (especially as nightmares) its the impact they give you when one of these things is right in front of you. They come off as harmless, but see these things in the dark and/or a traumatic experience, you can see them as feril animals, and that is a terrifyingly creative concept.
I thought a life of loving horror movies/videos/games would have prepared me for a video like this, but it didn't. You have genuinely disturbed me and made me feel like I was in danger by watching. I had to pause it numerous times to recoup before continuing! This is the first video I've seen by you and you clearly have mastery over commanding fear out of an audience. Bravo 👏👏👏👏
I am genuinely stunned by this. I can’t get over how genuinely awful the models are, I mean that in the most flattering way possible. They are just way too organic and make me incredibly uncomfortable. There was excellent lighting and overall nightmarish visuals that really brought everything together. I loved the melting room effects with nightmare, very very cool stuff. This is the type of stuff I wanna see in a Fnaf four remake, if you ever can team up with people who know game development or if you know game development yourself, you could cook up something truly remarkable. The kind of new and refreshing thing the fan game community needs. Overall though, fantastic work you are very talented.

I love how the main detail of this isnt just about the beautiful organic animatronic designs, but it does show Micheal Afton getting trauma from the bite of 83 and how he cared for his brother knowing he will never forgive him.
I love the twist of it being Michael's nightmare instead of his brother's, makes me imagine what if FNaF 4 was all from Michael's perspective instead, making it so we never switch characters in the main series until UCN or the custom nights.
that would explain the foxy max at the part with all the plushies
@@rowanjones5562I think fort Smith is Michael Afton but Jeremy Fitzgerald is Jeremy which is funny because there's a Jeremy game tester who played the video game so he played as Jeremy and Jeremy faced off Jeremy the missing children's incident
But cc forgave Micheal
Guys u haven’t known that nightmare is eating Evans brain black liquid ew
One thing i love about nightmare here is that he just seems..wrong. The fact he seems to just zip between positions, undergo positions that would literally be impossible for something of his size and gain or lose random pieces of anatomy at will just screams "abomination", even when compared to the other nightmares.
And the complete lack of focus on his stomach mouth makes it oddly more horrific, since you're baducally forced to question it once youve aftually noticed it's there.
No man
@@tumte1166 yes woman
Maybe person
perhaps humanoid

Smamuel, you did a very good job on this video. I like how you turned animatronics with sharp teeth, to the actual stuff of freaking nightmares, especially chica and nightmare.good job . I also like how you made it about Michael having nightmares about his brother after the bite of '83. Keep up the good work man😁😁👍👍👍👍
Honestly, this is something that I would actually see in my deepest, darkest nightmares. Fnaf doesn't usually scare me, but this video is a nightmare.
The most insane thing to me is how this is built like an actual nightmare, and not like a cartoonish kind of nightmare but a legitimate nightmare where so much happens at once and it's all confusing but dreadful, nothing bad directly happens to you from your POV but you're still in great danger and can feel it.
And not a lot of media can replicate that feeling at all without exaggerating or being over the top! So this is really impressive.
Somehow, this animation managed to not only be genuinely unsettling, but also somehow actually captured the feeling of having a real nightmare. It’s terrifying yet beautiful, immaculate work bro.
The way bonnie slowly creeps toward you. I've had real nightmares like that (albeit of a person, not an animatronic) so it's terrifying for me.
I really love the detail with Mike where his breathing sounds more like grunts because he has no organs
Genuine contender for best media to come out of fnaf. The fleshy realistic take on the nightmares being the fear of actual large animals is amazing, including removing the eyebrows, and little details like Bonnie flashing his teeth like a chimp would or Chica having large pupils is just on par with what I would assume your vision was, also the animation is brilliant, just all in all really well done.
Ikr! Same detail with foxy curling up his lip and snarling like an aggressive dog
Jesus Christ, IM ABSOLUTELY STUNNED. This is without a doubt the most unnerving fnaf animation I’ve ever seen. The models are absolutely SUPERB, especially Chica, she is god damn TERRIFYING. You’ve absolutely out done yourself with this one Smamuel, incredible work!! ⭐️
And the way chica momentarily paused before doing that horrid distortion of her face is nightmare inducing, this and Fnaf jr are probably the best looking modern interpretation of the game
Yeah, I always thought chica was always scary
Chica, is the reason that nightmares exist, she is the nightmare bro.
Chica, is the reason that nightmares exist, she is the nightmare bro.
When she opened her eyes and mouth in a horrific way it made me poop my pants
I love the bit after the "theres no waking up". The walls and general surroundings warping really gives the vibe of both a bad dream and possibly the feeling of going unconscious (though i wouldnt know for sure). Really cool stuff throughout.
I love how this is so resembling to prey and predator sorta situation, it is built into us to be naturally afraid of big creatures who could easily kill us, tho I find it interesting how Foxy’s eyes start off as preys eyes then turn into a single dot.
Good lord, these designs are genius. They're just organic versions of the nightmares, yet they are just as, if not, even more terrifying. I would love a fangame with these guys in it.
Honestly, just reskin FNAF 4 to have these guys instead, instantly make the scariest FNAF game there is
The horror in this animation isn’t a one and done jumpscare, it sticks with you. Being trapped, your prison decaying around you, the creatures closing in on you.
You deserve much more attention.
u are prison that decaying shutupbu patthrtic loerebi hop u ll be in eternalll noggthmare u ar cotpose
Gosh I love how you add canine teeth to your models, it just gives it more character and it's just so (satisfying?) to look at
I really appreciate how you didn't over-design the animatronics like a lot of scary fan models do. You strike that same corde that Scott does; cute under certain lighting and circumstances, scary under others, while still giving them a little bit of pizazz. Lovely work.
I mean I don’t see how these can be cute under any lighting 💀
What is this song video so scary can you tell me why name what’s your name anyways? Because I can tell this is a masterpiece you can’t tell him I don’t hurry.
@@djsnix1i had a stroke reading that
@@djsnix1the song is Hidden in the Sand by Tally Hall
I like how instead of robotic, theyre fleshy and stitched.
These make a lot more sense in a child's point of view when it comes to nightmares.
A child wouldn't see an animatronic as an animatronic, especially when they're surrounded by employees and posters telling them that the said animatronics are alive and real.
In fact, the realness they're convinced is there can end up being the root cause of the fear the child has in the first place.
It Will depends of what the kid see, sometimes is a real monster, other times is a robot monster
The kids father made the robots, so he'd probably know that's what they are. Might even explain why he's scared of them.
Good point!
I love the designs of these guys. They are absolutely horrific but in a natural way, akin to a nightmare or a prey vs predator situation, I also love how it starts out and you think Evan/CC is the one suffering from the nightmare but it is actually CC haunting Michael and cursing him with nightmares.
That scene at the end with Micheal after Ennard and the gang left his body was amazing, and it seems Micheal was dreaming of his past mistakes, of killing CC. which probably explains the strange childlike figure near the end before Micheal woke up.
I was never really scared of the FNAF 4 animatronics. These are just different. Not completely horrifying; Just extremely unsettling and uncanny. It starts out so genuine and wholesome too. After about 20 seconds the happy video just cracks and everything gets so much more creepy and corrupt. Extremely well done animation! They should hire you if they ever made a remake of FNAF 4.
i love that the humming becomes louder and less distorted once the animatronics are shown. it’s like taking you out of a safe space and putting you in the actual setting and danger of it
This is probably how Scott sees the animatronics
I've watched countless hours of fnaf playthroughs, and countless more of horror video games. This is the only video that can actually invoke a genuine sense of fear in me, no matter how many times i rewatch it! Incredible job, grotesque models. I love it
I honestly love these designs way more than the canon og ones.
The og nightmares were a little too over-the-top imo. It felt more like "let's make them as grimy and spiked as possible just for the edge", rather than actually considering what a child could imagine when looking at big scary mascots.
These, however...these are just disturbingly uncanny. Unnaturally smooth & organic looking, yet still maintaining the characteristics of their robotic counterparts.
What do you think about the Twisted Ones?
@@Entrenched_Human Same thing as the og nightmare animatronics
The sheer amount of sharp teeth just completely removes any serious fear factor for me
Again, it comes off as “lets make it as spiky as possible just because spiky = spooky”
@@Nartss Thats why the "novel" versions were always so much better, because you are left to think about everything yourself, and also because of the descriptions of the blank carcasses (without the illusion disks)
Yeah. Scott recieved feedback that fnaf3 wasnt scary so he made extra spooky fnaf4
Of course it's "OvEr ThE tOp" it is in the mind of a child
This is probably the best video to represent what a nightmare feels like. Moments and events just bleed into one another with one unifying theme, "reality" feeling very wrong/abstract and it has a distinct feeling that you cant stop looking at whats in front of you no matter how hard you try, SPECIALLY everything after 1:35. The animation, composition and direction made it feel legitimately like one terrible dream
Amazing concept realised with incredible talent. Great job
The worst part is that if it's not a lucid nightmare, you don't even think that this doesn't make sense, you just think you're in the actual reality, but, to be honest, a lucid nightmare is worse...
This was the scariest part 1:41
tu é br?
@@Gump-VRyeah but 1:36 was so scary
This is probably one of the most unnerving, fever dream like, nightmarish animations that i have set eyes upon. Its also absoloutly amazing! the designs are awesome, and creepy, like i would imagine the nightmare animatronics to look. Keep up the good work!
I love how all the parts with foxy stuff are more singled out than the others to show that its michaels nightmare and hes remembering the mask he wore
I think this design would've been more than perfect for the actual game itself. The focus on the nightmares was to make them look so scary that it did the opposite instead. I think the gum structure, teeth and eyes along with the clay like shell of the animatronics helped re-create that uncanny valley at a perfect degree that was even better than the original games. It created something that was almost human but something wasn't right, something was off and that's what the first game did with it slowly straying away as time went on. I think it's also a really good animation in general as well too.
the rest of the video is pretty spooky but sweet lord 1:35 this entire sequence is legitimately terrifying, I haven’t been scared of fnaf tapes since they first became a thing but the way Nightmare moves and glitches out is beyond uncanny valley
the sounds are even creepier
incredible job
Yeah it was so scary, that I decided to cast the part to my youngest brother's TV
@@EthanDoesALittleGamin ok satan calm down
@@EthanDoesALittleGaminLMAO 😂😂😂 (new Evan and Micheal Afton?)
@@TheFNAFEditor18LMAOOO
are you 12
Nice to see some nightmare love after everyone dismissed him when nightmarrione came around, one of my favorite animatronics tbh.
The animatronic movements are pretty spot on. Would love to just see freddy sing like the pizza time players/rocka fire
OKAY SMAMUEL, YOU MADE IT. This is such a superior version to horrible original Nightmare designs and added visuals ARE JUTS HORRIFYING AND I LOVE IT. So many amazing tricks and visual effects that are just WONDERFUL. I love it, I adore it, I need it to be official
Whoa whoa don’t say that about the original nightmares.
@@spongebobgaming3460 Sorry, but I personally dislike their designs the most in the entire franchise
@@barbadroid More than Scraptrap or the twisteds?
@@maximomaciasgarcia2159 scraptrap at least funny, twisteds are on the same level as nightmares, literally nightmares but with organic parts
What don’t you like about the nightmares?
This just goes to show that you don’t need static over the whole video to make it a “oh so scary” all you need is good sound and good models. And that’s what this video has, keep it up man👍
That, and some phenomenal animation work
Timing is an important factor when it comes to unsetteling images/videos. You did a really good job with that, especially with Chica and that how she opens her mouth. Really really good! 👌
At 1:41 i feel like the reason that the black substance from Nightmare was encasing (presumably) crying child's brain was to symbolize that the crying child's mind was filled with nothing but the fear and the terror of nightmare and the other animatronics constantly haunting him, he would probably not be able to think of anything else
Bro. The part where bonnie starts walking to the door invoked a sense of fear that I have never felt before. Just the absolute size and build of that rabbit slowly marching his way to the door is just super unnerving, and if I was to see something like that in my own house, I would just curl up and start crying. You did an absolutely amazing job at turning the nightmares into something from my nightmares.
Bro same Bonnie's walk damn terrified me in this
for me it was the understanding of its sheer size that really freaked me out, like from the get-go you could tell bonnie was massive, and also the first one revealed so it was the first time seeing how much they looked like organic beings and not cartoonishly torn and sharp animatronics, also for me the eyes when it was back in the hallway just did something to me that made me viscerally uncomfortable
@@sleepyrosebud9504 i agree. it's eyes were super unnerving, but i don't know why.
@@ThatWeirdGuy1001probably because it looks less robotic and more organic
