Today, we're taking a deep dive into a series by @SpectreAnimations that took the Five Nights at Freddy's community by storm almost a year ago. This series has some of the most intriguing storytelling and terrifying direction and horror of any FNAF VHS out there... and I'm gonna tell you all about it.

Hell yeah ma boi getting that check
I think when the paranormal investigator says "that's all she wrote" it's a figure of speech, it might be the same boss guy lol
GYYYYAAAAATT
Something I want to point out, you use the date when the tapes were recorded to give an idea of when they were declassified, but I think it's more likely that the 25 years would be from after they were confiscated, so the declassification dates may not be accurate as the tapes wouldn't have been confiscated immediately after being recorded, it could have happened years later. That could also mean that the tapes were declassified recently, and that's why they are being uploaded (assuming being uploaded is like, a lore thing, as a way to expose fazbear ent. or something, if the tapes being uploaded/their upload date isn't canonical though, then who knows) which would mean they were confiscated around the time of 1998 or so.
YES YOU DID ONE OF MY FAVORITE VHS SEREASE
Thanks a lot for reviewing my series! Not a lot of people cover my stuff and go in depth on the lore and try an analyze the story I’m trying to tell. Really enjoyed this video so great job! Also apologies for the story being confusing right now. But I assure you, more will be revealed in “Time.”
I love the one with Freddy I like to think that Freddy try to warn the guy to get out cause he saw something we did not. But that's just my brain goin wild
@@monsterdragon53gameplay89 I interpreted it as that too, that the 'tronics don't bear ill will to the general person
@@monsterdragon53gameplay89 I think he was warning him that afton was their and was either warning him or speaking to afton directly
@@monsterdragon53gameplay89 I'm pretty sure it was confirmed that's what was happening
Ayyyyyyy fuckin incredible tapes bro ! You should b so proud
Gabriel a real one dude tried to warn the investigator
fr
@@minaxa this is why I love freddy
@@TheFatalErrorUniverse toy Freddy would say the guy has a skill issue after he gets hit by the shotgun.
I just love how gentle the paranormal investigator was with the kids when he was talking to them, it showed that he knew what he was talking to and he wanted to get his point across that he really meant no harm
YEAAA I WAS ROOTING FOR HIM TO SURVIVE I WAS SO SAAD
I got a different vibe. He was super gentle and caring when he had questions but on a dime he switched and showed his true colors. He was swearing asking them about murders immediately after saying it was a sore subject.
@@tylermurphy4807 i mean yeah but you can clearly see he was stressed and acting under pressure so i dont blame him so much. and he did still need answers from these kids, he was investigating why they were there and the only way he was gonna get answers was being straightforward with them
@@tylermurphy4807 that.... i find it a weird view. What true colors? (a legitimate question) he IS there to find why, how and by whom they were murdered, and at no point was he deceitful about his intentions to the children. He just stated he "Can be" tactful if they so want, but his intention are still the same, he isnt there to provide psycological treatment to the children, nor the children expressed such expectation.
@miser2570 Call me crazy, but I think I'd be as delicate as possible with the angry and hurt child spirits that have physical bodies that can wreck my shit effortlessly...
Damn I feel bad for that paranormal investigator. He really wanted to help out and the spirits seemed to understand that and somewhat shield him from their anger (at least that's how I interpret Gabriels behavior). Poor dude, may he rest in peace
Gabriel tried to scare the investigator off so that he'd leave the building and not get killed by William. But William is a Gigachad.
@@OK-69420 William definitely camped there for like half an hour
@@OK-69420 In a restaurant thats full of dead kids and haunted animatronics, that first “get out” should’ve been a clear tell tale sign to stop questioning, pack up and leave the building.
@@thetalkativetank7032 wouldn't have made a difference, what happens in freddys pizzeria stays in freddys pizzeria.
I believe the implication is that the first figure that the investgator sees- the one near the pinball machines -was actually William Afton waiting inside the building and listening in to see how far the poor guy was getting before blowing him away as he tried to leave.
One thing I've noticed about some analog horror content is that the character's awareness is limited to what the camera can see. E.G. the FNAF employee only notices that the animatronic has moved once the camera reveals it. I think reacting to something off-screen because the character sees it before the camera does could add some depth to these types of videos
Note that requires ALOT of planning
It might be spookier in some circumstances (iirc The Shining does something like that multiple times where you see the character react first and then what they're reacting to), but to say it immediately adds depth is an exaggeration. It depends per scare
could be a go-pro 😏
@@Minymonkey *_i n 1 9 8 5 ?_*
@@4zy1 that's what the 😏is for
I like that Gabe’s “Him” probably wasn’t just vague but actually directed at Afton who was likely nearby out of view.
I love that Gabriel knew the investigator was trying to help and wanted to warn him. I feel like "danger. You're in danger" would have been more effective😅
Think it this way: if he had said that, Shawn would immediately started asking why is he in danger, because as you see when he said "get out" Shawn asks immediately if he upset the kid, Gabriel noticed he wouldn't be able to explain why is he in danger so instead he scared him of
To me, Withered Chica will always be the creepiest animatronic. The combination of the obviously withered look and her face makes her absolutely terrifying
The fact she had no eye lids made it look like she stared into my soul
And the fact that she is stuck in the position of a scarecrow.
Not the fact her hands are gone and her jaw is unhinged?
Mhm chica is terrifying
everything about her is just menacing, how tall she is due to how the jaw opens, the way the jaw opens, the missing eyelids, the scarecrow pose, she just radiates pure "I'm going to impale you on a meat-hook and scoop out your intestines while you're still screaming" vibes.
like she's easily the most menacing anamatronic in the series imho.
William was cocky. He wanted the footage so he can document how the animatronics are posessed by the dead kids, possibly leading to his research on remnant. He never thought these tapes would leave his possession, he thought he would never get caught.
Tbh I hope the tapes don't include remnant and stuff like immortality.
To be fair, as far as most people know, he did get away with everything.
Assuming that they follow through with the idea that he becomes Springtrap at a later point he never actually gets caught by the authorities and if they ever worked out his involvement in the killings they definitely didn't know that he was an immortal zombie dressed as a rabbit hidden in a bricked up utility room.
@@redpanda6497 Yup, they are pretty dumb concepts ngl. Scott really likes adding convoluted and dumb shit all the time, don't get me wrong, I love FNAF, but he just keeps retconning things that make sense and then twists them so they are more complicated because he needs to milk this cow as much as he can.
@@noentiendonothingThe worst retcon for me is changing fnaf 4 to bite of 83 and not 87. Wtf is bite of 83? All we ever heard about was 87 so pulling a fast one on us really pissed me off cuz people seriously think it was always meant to be bite of 83
@@mrplayfulshade1038 YOOOOOO, that was such a stupid move, it made me mad when it happened lmao. Like, not only every game was referencing the bite of 87 as a big event in the lore of the franchise, but there were also references to the FNAF 4 bite being the bite of 87 IN THE TEASERS FOR THE GAME!
You can't tell me the "Was It Me ?" isn't talking about it or the fact that there were 87s hidden in the code (?) of the images. What's worse ? The whole fucking game got retconed, it's not a nightmare, the nightmare animatronics are mannequins and what not.
Scott needs to be stopped.
Just a small note at 15:00, when the protagonist says "That's all she wrote"; This is actually a saying/phrase, possibly) used incorrectly here, but it isn't confirmed that a woman wrote the note. The phrase "That's all she wrote" means that the topic has reached an abrupt end, so the one who wrote this note could definitely be William or Henry.
Yeah in fact earlier Sean says that he said the paranormal stuff is interrupting business, tho I wish the manager was a woman just for some gender variety
The first three were amazing, I feel like the reason the first two employees were killed were because they "injured" the animatronics, the animatronics don't become hostile until after getting shocked or parts of them removed.
The 4th one in the mall is a bit of a "jumped the shark" moment imo, that and the voice acting kind of declined from the last one, the voice actor who did Shawn in Paranormal Investigation was great.
I've seen a bit of criticism for Shawn being almost fearless, but it makes sense here since in this universe ghosts are real and he's a paranormal investigator, so he's definitely seen some shit.
the reason gabriel yelled at the guard was because purple guy was there and after telling him twice to leave he probably thought if i dont scare him to leave hes going to die and ended up sealing his fate by making it known that there was a person inside
@@skinnywacky ik
i agree with your opinion about the last video. dude saw his partner get murdered and a fox animatronic tackled him. im sure hed be a bit more shaken up than slightly concerned. other than that its amazing
@@skinnywacky There is a high probability William was already waiting before hand. Some people theorized the figure Shawn saw at some point near the pinball machine was likely him.
After all, its unlikely the owner of the place doesnt learn their subordinates got a paranormal investigator to check on the ghost kids they murdered murdered.
I'm not sure the voice acting really got worse--there's was just so much more. The amateur (I'm assuming) actors did well when it was just a few lines at a time, or when there was only one voice period. Real, sustained dialogue, even if it's one-sided, must be a lot tougher.
I love how all the VHS cameraman are so fearless
it’s hilarious and terrifying. the fact that the guy who got shotguned went and explored further after seeing someone’s outline following him, meanwhile being completely unarmed with only a flashlight, and didn’t immediately run is some unbelievable courage/foolishness
they've got bills to pay
@@sheepyluvsyouto be fair he is a paranormal investigator, and considering ghosts are clearly VERY real in the fnaf universe, he's likely seen some shit.
@@4zy1Oh hey, it's you again!
fear-yes
less- no
that poor paranormal dude
nearly cracked the case but the purple bastard came
Imo he had figured out what happened, but he'd never have been able to figure out who did it. The kids don't know either it seems
I think a series that focuses on like a single grizzled alcoholic detective that has been following the case from the very beginning would be fun.
Agreed
Mind of I use this idea? (maybe Mike (Schmit or Afton, not sure yet) could be the grizzled detective, and Vanessa and Charlie could be paranormal investigators, and all three could be teaming up to find out the mystery of the Missing Children’s Incident!)
And all three could be invested for different reasons: Charlie because she has an unusual urge to seek out the mystery, Vanessa because she genuinely cares and wants to help bring peace to all the wayward souls, and bring the CRIMINAL CRIMINAL CRIMINAL to justice…
And Mike because he feels personally responsible for the whole thing, considering he was the one who personally shoved his younger brother’s head into the jaws of an already poorly built, malfunctioning Fredbear Animatronic!
always an alcoholic, maybe something new would be fun
@@drewo.127 Go for it.
That's kinda the plot of Paranoia Agent lol
FNAF VHS has always been a fascinating way to really show those in between moments we never saw in the original games.
Tbh this is the direction the actual FNAF series should've gone in, not security breach
@@Pyronic_x3 while security breach tries to innovate once more, they should’ve filled in more gaps and gone with more horror. That game wasn’t scary enough
@@GZB0 It wasn't scary at all lol
@@buster3041 fr
I really like that someone tries to communicate with the spirits of the MCI in this series, and even moreso that the some of the kids are willing to communicate with the Paranormal Investigator.
I feel like they (the kids) would want to find help from other adults, obviously not ones that looked like William, but from other adults that could help them find their killer.
14:45
Well, to be fair, this doesn't *necessarily* mean that the manager is female. "That's all she wrote" is also an idiom, meaning "there is nothing more left to say.
Ex: "Henry lost his only child, and, well, understandably had to step away from the Freddy's franchise. That's all she wrote."
I'm surprised no one has ever mentioned the "Section 4: Mandatory Suicide" note from the bonnie salvage video, but I guess thats alright. Although I'm glad it's brought up here
what do you think it means?
@@mio-iy1er
top ten things science STILL can't figure out
@@mio-iy1erpopping on some slayer and enjoying life.
I am guessing the word "suicide" might trigger a demonetisation if content creators mention it?
Slayer reference brah brah
Paranormal Investigator really be playing irl phasnophobia.
the police evidence video is the most infuriating to me. The guy gets attacked by a giant fox and survives, only to endanger himself for no reason instead of driving back to the station for backup or at the very least investigating why clearly armed robbers are transporting seemingly old and deactivated animatronics from a children's restaurant. I know that the other videos have characters who are extremely nonchalant about the situation their in, but it feel especially infuriating because he survived an encounter with a killer fox and makes all the wrong moves.
its not infuriating but ye he is kind of dumb even in his circustances
i tryule think he should have opened fire when he saw them for the first time inside the house as he knows they do ARE going to kill if necesary, so taking at least one of them out right then and there could have spooked the other one enough so that he at least runs away
I mean, if I remember right the camera guy was a rookie. Probably wanted to do the right thing and get the bad bois.
I figured he went after them to 1.) try and get the people who shot his partner himself, and 2.) he was acting out of irrational emotion
So I don’t hold it against him that he made a dumb decision
@@skyr5247or alternatively he realized something was wrong or off by the fact they didn’t just bolt it with the truck and wanted to search for them / follow them to make sure they didn’t escape without punishment. Or he’s a fucking pig ass cop and wanted to make sure they can book them for breaking and entering ALONG with killing a police officer. Or the third option he just needed to find a phone while trying to make sure they don’t escape into the woods.
Well you gotta consider that the cop is just doing his job despite the risks. Yeah sure logically he should've drove to the police station to get help, but then he risks losing the animatronic and suspects by the time he gets back up. The cop even explains that his and his partner's radios are broken so that's why he needed a phone.
And if you're going to argue that the cop should've shot the thieves first while in the mall, cops usually try to apprehend the suspects first and wait for the suspects to shoot first before engaging. Cops can't just shoot criminals on sight until they see a gun visibly being pulled on them.
You know I'm too into paranormal stuff when you know that spirit boxes were invented in 2002 and wouldn't have been used in the 1980s.
That's what I was thinking, even though I don't know alot about the tech, I just had a feeling that it was way too out of place.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but using tech for serious paranormal investigation and such wasn't really in the cultural zeitgeist during the 80s (except for Ghostbusters maybe). Don't think it really popped off till the late 90s or certainly 2010s with Paranormal Activity and other ghost hunting shows, so basically, there wouldn't have been much reason for any dedicated tech to exist during the 20th century. Guess nerd brains think alike or smth
Was there anything that was supposed to have a similar use in 1980s
The animatronics at fazbears entertainment is also wildly unthinkable for the eighties, id just try to not think about it
Not trying to be rude, just reminding that this is also a series where vintage animatronics walked around as early as the 70s and ghosts are very much real, so the tech is near-futuristic and the paranormal stuff would likely have more focus on it since... well, I don't need to tell you that having scientifically measurable paranormal activity is a pretty big difference.
The way he behaves towards the spirit box indicates that its not a shock or surprise to get clear and timely responses (can you imagine if Shane or Ryan from Ghost Files got "Ryan/Shane" back twice, and then a clear name response when requested? They'd both have aneurysms, for differing reasons). When you're getting consistent results in a science field, tech is going to advance much faster.
This worker is brave as hell man, i would've walked out the door quick and quit.
Ngl i would’ve been debating “okay… 7.50 an hour or survival..”
nah cuz as soon as they start moving on their own, you would have me apologizing PROFUSELY. I mean BEGGING for my life. Sprinting out that door so quickly that I'd go back to before i even walked in there. you would NOT catch me there
14:47 possibly the investigator could be saying "that's all she wrote" as the expression/manner of speech not related to the gender, though in that case maybe that expression would be used in other form to show that that's how its used(another employee says it, someone refers to specifically a male and uses it, etc.) so I wouldn't rule out entirely William or Henry being the ones who sent this list to the investigator, just a thought though
It's also the same thing Doc Mitchell says in Fallout: New Vegas so it's not impossible for it to be a reference to that.
@@TimTime10New Vegas never dies
Yeah it’s just a figure of speech. Sean physically wrote those notes over the phone.
@@TimTime10 not impossible, but i doubt since the tape was timeline wise in the 80's, that's what she wrote is also an irl expression not just new vegas one :P
@@SpectreAnimations I didn't see you replied holy- well I am glad to know my hunch was correct loll
I personally love the lack of disturbing faces, I enjoy them usually, but without them, its just more realistic, there are a few story elements I'm not too keen on, but its not my series
I've interpreted Henry's confession as his own guilt overwhelming him. We know from Pizzeria Simulator that he does feel guilty for his part in William's actions, even to point of suicidal thoughts. Henry may have believed the evidence against William was too flimsy for the police and courts to use, so instead, since someone had to be punished for the deaths of several people, most of whom are children, he confessed to crimes he didn't commit. I don't think Henry is mentally well, so maybe we know why he doesn't show up in most of the games; he was getting help overcoming his guilt. Makes his arc kinda impressive.
I feel like Henry and Chris's scraping adventure has more to it than what we have seen so far. While the theory of them getting parts does make sense, why would they steal a company truck, presumably steal the animatronics, and go absolute strapped? Who needs a submachine gun to scavenge scrap? Along with their apparent 'control' of Foxy, I wonder if this was initially some big end game that completely feel apart. Perhaps they were planning on taking out William, and had the weapons as a back up, but William realized the truck was stolen and call the cops to look for a truck with "company logo". But who knows.
Yeah, that entire tape is a big question mark tbh
@@minaxacould you a part 2 in like a year and a half? So there’s more lore
"Who needs a submachine gun to scavenge scrap?" Is a quote I never thought I would hear or read in my life.
the animatronics roaring and snarling like actual animals was kind of a fun choice
the creator’s ingenuity and creativity with how he uses his software is honestly genius
i would have never have thought to utilize a kinect for this type of project
Henry probably falsely confessed because the police can just make you do that.
He more than likely either was given a plea deal, or threatened into confessing.
You’ve got a lot of potential- a brilliant reading voice, good sense to your editing, variety between videos on series, interviews with creators… all amazing stuff.
Thanks for introducing me to oracle, hes one of my favourite ai characters. A lot of these fictional universes could do with one of him.
Thanks! Glad you've enjoyed everything so far!
53:00 - Just a little bit of info to help explain it being a rental with a logo. Because the sides of these kinds of trucks are often steel/ferromagnetic metal, so companies often basically print a giant fridge magnet with their logo to slap on the side when renting them.
I didn't explain this very well but I hope people understand what I mean lol
Ya the Foxy tape really lost me. We have a police officer being chased by an animatronic into a mall and tasering him. After this we have a whole bunch of cops infiltrate the place and the fear is lost. It’s just so disappointing after how great the previous three were. Great video btw Minaxa, keep up the good work.
Regarding the tape having to be confiscated.
Serial killers often love keeping something that belonged to the victim,their basically trophies.
Perhaps this interpretation of William is sick to the point he loves taking trophies from his victims,he’s also stealing and hiding evidence so he’s killing two children with one knife (wow that joke sucked 😅)
The sheer number of serial killers that have collections of either videos or pictures of their crimes is Staggering, so I came to the same conclusion
@@lilylohmann614Hey bro it’s NNN
This is a joke
@@ieatchildren1259 my brain entered a different dimension trying to comprehend this until I reread my comment. Thanks!
Am I the only one who in the spirit hunting video would really empathise with the ghost kids? Like... I'd want to hold them and say how sorry I am that they're suffering 😢
I always comment generic ass comments like "another minaxa banger" but unironically, another minaxa banger, I'm not even done watching this video and this rocks so much

@@panwasacz2733 what a loser ass comment lmao
Watching the evolution of the Minaxa channel from what it once was has been such a fantastic journey to be on.
I think the reason for the archival tapes can go two ways. Either the collection of tapes is someone building a case against William (or whoever), or it's William having some sort of Trophy of his victims. I think the latter makes the most sense considering the general view of William Afton in most FNAF media. For me, it makes sense that William Afton would keep records of his victims for his own enjoyment AND for further exploration of the animatronics because he can't really 'test' them himself. Especially in this series because of the police tape and actions that the two men (William and Henry) take. It is more of William creating criminal animatronics and using/improving the animatronics for his own gain rather then flat murder in the og FNAF. I don't know for sure I'm just guessing at this point lol.
Great vid as always minaxa :)
Maybe Afton was collecting the vhs tapes for “ archival purposes” so he could find out about remnant without putting himself in danger
Spectre provides such an influential take on the FNAF VHS genre.
He managed to breathe life back into the genre following the end of Squimpus' series back in 2020.
I noticed that Sean wasn't treated with any real hostility other than Jeremy/Fritz's annoyance at the Spirit Box (I'm assuming it's one of them since only Chika, Bonnie, and Foxy are in the room and it clearly wasn't Suzie) and Gabriel trying to scare him off which I think was him feeling that the man who killed them (William) was in the building and Sean's life was in danger. This to me is a notable difference from their behavior with the guys in the first two episodes(and the officer in the 4th) and I think that it's because the Investigator was the only one of the three not wearing a Fazbear Entertainment uniform of any kind. Don't know if that was intentional or not but it's interesting to think about nonetheless.
This makes me really interested in a Phasmophobia FNAF crossover, if such a thing could ever be done.
Red Amogus killed the kids, we all know this
"David Miller" might actually just be a Metal Gear Solid reference. Solid Snake's real name is "David" (also called "Dave") and Miller is Kazuhira's last name, both also work together. It might just be a coincidence though.
David Miller is a reference to the books, it's a fake name William used
It's a joke lmao
We remember seeing spectre’s Fnaf vhs series and it always amazed us on how these type of 3D softwares are able to create something this amazing. We’ve always love to see not only lost media but seeing horror short or long films, series, episodes, videos, games and many more on the internet. Everything else, we do love the explanation and theory about this series and obviously we hope to see more of your explanatory content on different horrors and maybe lost media as well. Continue with what you do and always have a wonderful day, keep up the good work as well 👍

8:55 I would have loved if when he said "I'm not repairing this piece of junk" bonnie just turns to look at him and go "who you calling junk" just as a funny edit
Gotta be honest, I think the last video really jumped the shark and over the moon. Seeing what amounts to kids stuffed inside robots being used an attack dog pulled me out of the story. Yet, I dont know the full story, maybe something will pull me back in and have that aspect less outrageous for me.
Though, the rest has been great so far. I enjoy a more slow-built type horror and the other videos all gave that.
the paranormal investigator guy is a far braver man than me. If i were him, the talk with gabriel would've gone more like:
"get out"
"understandable- have a nice day" 🏃♂️💨
I would’ve left way before.
1 hour of pure fnaf vhs, just what I needed.
DUDE. what an amazing series, and what an awesome job you did discussing it!! this is a real underrated gem, man.
the paranormal activity tape is my absolute favorite, I'd love it if someone made an abridged story with paranormal investigators experiencing time at freddy's and talking to the children, having to hide when they get aggressive
I think the reason why William wants to have the inspections recorded and the evidence in his possession is so he can see how the animatronics are doing without having to see it himself. He’s using the employees like his personal lambs to a slaughter
I'm so glad you talked about the shots and direction! He is a genius at pulling you into the video with framing
The plot and the focus on characterizing the world from an outsiders perspective on the lore like police and employees who just do their jobs and the paranormal investigator it really shows how messed up it is when looking at it as a person living through this era.
I like to think William kept the tape to study it to see how the kids reacted to people and how they reacted to him so he could work around them.
40:10 I feel like I should draw attention to the fact that Henry called the other person Chris. Definitely not William or Micheal, so he is an entirely new character
3:40 That's probably the most realistic reaction to anything in the entire FNAF universe, canon or otherwise
Part of me thinks that the reason afton kept the tape is because of the fact that his victims talked which probably surprised him and he wanted to study the tape, maybe as part of his research into remnant (if that applies to this canon), as well as a sort of trophy of his kill?
What I like most about Spectre's series is the underlying shadiness of the company. It's played for laughs in canon but it is interesting to see how the businesses deal with the dark aura that surrounds the pizza chains and what deals happen behind closed doors. It's such untapped potential because the people who keep Freddy's afloat are also guilty for all the bodies swept under the rug
11:17 "4 - Mandatory suicide" ???? no red flags with that one??
I really like the 4th tape. I love when Horror Series expand their lore and give room for breaths of fresh air and have characters react irrationally to high stress situations. People complain about it, but the truth is that when you're under pressure and in a high stress situation, it takes a lot to keep calm enough to think things through logically-and this guy did what he thought he needed to from having a (earned) complete breakdown over what happened at the truck. He focused on the fact these people were robbed and had an animatronic.
Foxy working so seamlessly with Henry and his partner is also an interesting note. It says the kids, to some extent, have to be even vaguely aware that Henry is either 'safe' or 'off limits.' And considering that Charlie/The Puppet is presumably hanging around somewhere, and has always been somewhat more coherent, its possible thats why. A fellow ghost said "trust this one." Of course, its just a guess on my part.
That Chica animatronic at 5:04 is just terrifying. Id shit a brick if i opened my eyes and THAT was standing next to my bed staring at me
The cop seems pretty calm when first entering the mall considering his partner just got murdered
that whole video is like a bad movie
@@ImperialCaleb nah?
Personally I think that Gabriel was trying to save Sean and warn him that William was in the building. If Gabriel were truly bloodthirsty and trying to kill Sean there would be no reason he would help him in the first place.
what the fuck they sicced withered foxy on em 💀
MR. ELECTRIC KILL HIM
I love how the ghost was yelling at the investigator to get out and he just kinda stood around and kept asking questions. Like bro if I was talking to a ghost and they told me to get out I'm running the first time
I watch a lot of paranormal investigation videos and the continuing to ask questions when a ghost says “get out” is actually quite normal.
I am concerned with how fast you get these vids out. They're good, don't get me wrong, but like dang. these are flying off the shelves. nice work!
Not really, I actually wish I could be a bit faster.
@@minaxa faster would be wild! Just don't put your wellbeing in jeprody by cranking them out :0
reeled me in immediately with the underground jungle music in the intro, kept me with the continued use of terraria’s OST for background music. great music choice for this video, and of course great video as always
I love the paranormal activity episode especially because of how interesting it is for the story. Firstly it shows that the kids are still very aware of what is going on, and it also states that ghosts do in fact exist in this world since Sean has apparently done this before with positive results
You know I like the paranormal investigator he was very gentle with the kids knowing they are just kids and victims sadly got killed by the same killer you can say that his spirit also probably seen their true forms before passing to the afterlife fully or hung around the murdered kids
The tapes could be a great source of remnant, I mean think about it, literal videos of people dying via animatronics have to be pretty high on the list of remnant creation.
Awesome video, happy to see someone really dissecting these. I haven’t been scared by analog horror in a long time, and never by any FNAF VHS tapes. Paranormal Investigation actually scared me. It’s so tense the first time you watch it and as a FNAF fan you’re expecting certain things to happen, but the story takes an unpredictable turn. I love Spectre’s FNAF tapes and I can’t wait to see what’s next!
I like this story, and i discovered the lore more than a month ago, it is very good! Most of those who were testing the robots actually were meant to die because they keep insulting them, except the ghost detector who was actually killed by William Afton, there isn't any other person who could.
It's likely that William kept the evidence so he could throw Henry under the bus. Which is why in "Police Archive" the man at the end says he was "Henry" even though Henry clearly never did any of those murders.
I believe that man at the end was actually William, and he told the cops everything, so HENRY would get in trouble. Maybe because he hated Henry, like how he does in the "Silver Eyes" trilogy.
oh gabriel was warning the investigator because william was there . :(
I love you Minaxa! You'll be one of my favorites for a while. Just watching you talk about fnaf is so satisfying for some reason. You're the best!
When Gabriel says him, I wonder if he was already inside the building.
Probably
In the video if you listen closely you can hear a faint door either opening or closing while he interviews Gabriel
as a davinci resolve user, i can tell that 1:30 is the least chaotic timeline i have seen.
I don't get it
I love how the foxy episode features the police. It really adds to the world building and shows that the FNAF series, although centered on some characters, is happening in the world and has effects on others
William archiving the tapes could be because his main motive is to destroy the company of Fazbear Entertainment, likely due to recent events such as "The bite of '83".
did anyone notice at 11:13 the paper the employee is holding has a section that kinda looks like it says ‘Mandatory Su*cide’ or just me?
william making recording the tapes mandatory and taking the one from the panaormal investigator was because he was trying to get more information on how the children posessed the animatronics so he could save his son who was bitten by fredbear.
the animatronics were in the truck because william was trying to recover them to, once again, research how the children posessed the animatronics.
53:08 could it be that the other guy was william and he was trying to get remnant? or someone william hired to get the animatronics
Great summary and analysis of Spectre's series. This is one of my personal favorites, due to it focusing on actual storytelling instead of cheap scares (The first two videos aside lol)
Dude “that’s all she wrote” is an expression
The scene with Gabriel is so much less scary and so much more tragic when you realize what's actually happening. None of the children ever wanted to hurt him, they were just trying to scare him away so he wouldn't get caught by Afton. It makes him shouting "GET OUT." not an angry spirit, but a desperate child trying to save his only hope at justice. Finally, someone knows what happened to them, but it won't mean anything if he dies now.
I think one of the things I like most in this is way the ghosts act in Paranormal Activity, in that they aren't hostile to the investigator. It makes sense, he's not dressed like an employee so they aren't mistaking him for purple guy like they do the guards, plus they haven't been stuck in the animatronics as long as they have been in the later vids. They're still just hurt kids.
I’ve been thinking about this for a while now… Wouldn’t a Resident Evil 7 VHS work really well??? You could couple it with every gory death being messily censored and the screen stopping. Idk it’s just been on my mind a while 😅
Oh FNAF VHS! It's been awhile but glad to see some more projects on it!
i really like the fact that the animatronics didn't even have murderous intent for the paranormal investigator and just wanted to be understood, but then freddy did chase him to get him out before who i presume is william could murder him too but he was too late as he was shot.
That Officer is such a Badass! Dude outran Foxy, one of the fastest Animatronics in the franchise and took a bullet to the leg!
Spectre's tapes are really well made! The story is interesting and is well connected.
the bathroom door opening and closing was probably either Jeremy, Fritz, or Gabriel messing with the investigator
yk, it good idea for the employees to do these late night animatronic tests with another person, at least just so that it’s less scary and definitely for emergencies and shit.
i think the reason henry tried to take the blame is for a similar reason why some innocent people take the blame for the actually criminal, maybe henry and william were still friends and henry just wanted to keep hope that william wasnt truly evil, but idk could be a bit of a stretch
gotta love it when freddy speaks in fl studio speech acent
Nice to see a series that takes place on Pennsylvania we have a lot of weird stuff here but it's rare for me at least to see stuff set in PA especially not in Philly, Lancaster or Harrisburg
This series goes from 1-60 at a great pace and then blasts up to 100 in a way I didn't like. Story scale usually increased over time but the subtlety of the work was lost once I found myself watching a low poly shootout. The earliest portions spooked me the heck out and the author does really well building dread; I think that they fell into a trap of feeling they needed more payoff than they did. The story escalates too fast and loses itself, which is too bad because I was super on board.
it seems that these "tapes" are going over each animatronic individually so because we've got Freddy Foxy Chica and Bonnie finished so the only logical we are likely to get next is either Golden Freddy or the Puppet (or just the toy animatronics)
I'm surprised I managed to make it into one of your videos, even if it was only for a few moments lol. Great review, keep up the awesome content!
49:40 It’s possible that William was recording all these things and keeping himself separate by using the term Boss because he’s trying to frame Henry for the crimes, even going so far as to turn himself in, knowing there’s no incriminating evidence against him, leaving Henry as the only possible candidate. He could also have done all these things and kept recordings of them to study the animatronics and see how they behave in order to control them later with how we saw the guys in the truck did
love your music choices
