- In mid-2020, a series named The Walten Files would grace the internet. While it's filled with lovable characters and a nostalgic atmosphere, the story behind it is much darker than it seems.

OMG, just when I needed something to watch our lord Nexpo uploads a new video, and it's an 1:30 hour video. Christmas came early this time.
As they say, nothing can hurt me if I’m not in fullscreen
unless it climbs out.

@@sogelnation I hate your comment so much!

no jump scares for me
This is the most elaborate anti drinking ad I've ever seen.
haha
god bless
this guy bro… I can’t….. XD
Don't drink or else you'll kill a whole entire family, and some workers, and drug someone into amnesia, and ruin your career, and merchandise line
ill drink to that.
I find a distorted faces creepy, but I find dying alone and screaming from unimaginable pain for a hours without being heard and found is just the most horrific thing in the world

Getting buried alive, basically
That's just a typical trip to the Emergency Room around here 😂😂
You know what else is more horrific?

@@JoshuaAndres **swings shirt in the air** WOOOOO
Most unrealistic part about The Walten Files is that the K9 workers aren't immediately creeped out by the animatronics
and that sophie didn't instantly get the fuck out of the basement at first sight of the bugs, even if she forgot about the characters
Yea that part killed it for me, not only that but a real crew would have taken out a set of work lights to work in, not shitty flashlights. That was done so that you couldn't see the animated doll through the shitty dark and pixelated footage. Faker than the Blair Witch project.
maybe the animatronics are made to look creepy for the show and they wouldnt actually look like that if they were irl
Don't forget "Bunny Smiles Incorporated" written with the GTA font

Felix is definitely at fault for driving drunk.

well to be honest, i wouldnt go to a school party if unless i could get fucked up
What if I told you none of this real

Uh....who DOESNT stock a school party with alcohol?
"He is so sorry for what he did to them, but there is nothing you can do."
That line always hits hard :(
The worst is undoubtedly that NONE of the victims died immediately. They were left paralyzed and screaming for days until they died inside the animatronic suits
wtf
Susan's feels like the worst, because she starved, which takes like 30 days
@@quinnilin she'd die from dehydration before she'd die from starvation
wasn't rosie decapitated? seems pretty instant to me lmao
@@beetle1516 probably not because the restaurant closed because people could hear " a woman screaming for days". I have a feeling that Bon ripped her arms and legs off tho (which is why Sha says "but on the inside i feel like every part of my body is bleeding out")

The really scary part is that the tapes are shown to be made and distributed in 1974, but the first VHS player released in America was in 1977.
certified analog horror moment
honestly the fact that Bon invited every member of the group but Banny to his sleepover was mad disrespectful
Oh crap yeah I didn’t notice that lol
He doesn’t like her
"Does it jumpscare?"
"No, but it can hurt you in other ways"
Hurts you "in other ways".
Still jumpscares you.
"Does it jumpscare?"
"Worse."
That's the thing about this series. It doesn't really jumpscare you or try to have any "boo!" moments. It manages to be terrifying without any of those, relying on suspense and horrific graphics alone. This is the first time I've been scared by something like this in a LONG time.
@@pinkgorl9074 yeah it's use of sound and haunting visuals is just so amazingly done. It does have moments where things are sudden, but it's never in your face and loud like a typical jumpscare. It's just so cool how it's able to do that.
Way worse😂
I found out that the line "The rabbit is starving," is because Susan didn't die after being put in the suit. She starved to death in the suit.
That makes sense and, oddly, a robot is saying something it is not programmed to say... How odd is both bunnies.
In tape three, when she's shown on the floor, she says "and my stomach feels weird." Maybe her stomach was too mangled anyways?
@@cet1r1z1ne maybe her stomach felt weird because she was starving?
@@vanilla5643 I thought that her message was either before or shortly after she was put into the animatronic, therefore not yet giving her enough time to starve unless her stomach was already ruined. I just figured since Rosie was dismembered before being put in Sha, it'd make sense if Susan had things removed/cut down to size as well in order to fit into the Banny animatronic. Banny seems to have a pretty small waist, after all. I could be wrong tho
@@cet1r1z1ne possible but unlikely. Remember that the animatronics are quite large compared to a person and it seems that rosemary is a bit shorter than average. she would fit with minimal damage. That's likely why nobody could find her body, it was completely hidden in the SHA animatronic. Could be wrong but it's just speculation based on what we see and what is known in reality.
the walten files is the most complex "don't drink and drive" ad campaign i've ever come across
Idk why, but the sequence with the letters by Felix's wife was pretty scary. The way her voice tone changes throughout is great. She starts out happy and enthusiastic, then progressively worried, then defeated.
that's called good voice acting-
Fun fact: Martin walls stated that the Walten files takes place in an alternate universe where nothing ever went wrong at Freddy's
that's amazing
I can accept that

@@enderlord607 what's that comic called again?

Hearing Nexpo saying “Take a look” and leaving us alone is the single most scariest part of this video.
“No please don’t leave me..” *silence and screen fades* “..no please..”

Ik I'm late af but here you are
This reminds me of the guy and girl who were making a video for one of their classes. They made it to look like a guy had kidnapped a girl, with a quick flash of her tied to a toilet screaming. It was so well done it went viral and opened up a full on investigation. Only to find that the students had done an amazing job of making it look real.
lonelygirl15
@@chuucake this reached FBI level because of the fact that the girl in the video looked like one that had been missing around the same time.
@@chuucake Either my other comment got deleted or I'm just not seeing it, but I had left one before the FBI comment. I was saying that Lonelygirl15 is an interesting case study as well, but the video I was talking about is super creepy. My comment might have got removed because I named it, it's called "Hi Walt3R." Just change that last word to the name that sounds most similar to it.
A different situation but a situation like this happened near my town! A small independent film production was going on near us and the girl pretending to be kidnapped posted her tied up+in her makeup to Snapchat and a dude states away called the police because he thought it was real
It’s a very small detail I just noticed, in the video game, every character possessed sounds like they are full of life, whilst the random Horse Character sounds like she is reading off a script.
Was very nice little touch on how messed up the game is
Sophie: *sees disturbing and scarring cutscene*
Sophie right after: WHATS UP GUYS welcome back to my blind playthrough of Bunnyfarm!

Also Sophie: I know these cutscenes have in depth lore on how my co-workers and family died brutally but honestly I’m just trying to get a sub 1:00:00 for WR pace so can you please go a little bit faster 😐

the kind of horror used in this series is the type that REALLY gets to me. weird voices, uncanny valley faces, spooky sounds, that's all the stuff that actually scares me.
I was making some faces out of pure disturbance but I couldn’t look away
watch the youtube video “obey the walrus”
it's the faces that gets to me so goddamn much. they aren't even portrayed in a jumpscare sort of way, but god i cannot stand them. they're so unsettling and uncomfortable to stare at. it's crazy how effective the horror in this series is.
@@randompromises1038 they don't seem human anymore. Especially knowing the fact that those characters are dead
And fates worse than death!
I love how this series evolves from straight up horror and mystery to still straight up horror and mystery, but with an exploration of how alcoholism and trauma can destroy lives.
I absolutely love that everytime the audio glitches it means someone's lying or that what they are saying will have importance later
"Take a look..."
No, wait. Nexpo come back, don't leave me with these things!

is this a persons copy/take on fnaf?? pls explain
I like that Sophie says she hopes Brian’s doing alright but really… it’s scary to think he’s probably still lying there mangled staring at the same thing he was before
Do you think the whole "The rabbit is starving" thing came from the fact that Bon obviously left Susan alive for a time being after he paralyzed her and she quite literally starved to death in the animatronic? That's like the only reason I could think for that being in there
This:
makes sense.
that's gotta suck that she ends up somehow surviving a gruesome fate at the hands of an animatronic that clearly easily overpowered her only to still die anyways of starvation
@@randompromises1038 that's somehow worse, man 😢 what a way to go
She probably starved to death before being put into the animatronic since getting put in there would probably turn ur body into beef jerky
Everytime Nexpo says "Here, take a look" to let you watch something terrifying, it's like an abusive parent locking you in a cellar full of demons.

Rewatching this video, I'm getting the feeling that The Walten Files is going for an overarching theme of trauma and memories. Felix succumbs to alcoholism, admits to having trouble remembering past events relating to it, and later tries to purge any trace of Jack Walten from the company's history--possibly in an attempt to suppress his own trauma tied to the Walten family.
Sophie has had her memories suppressed by pills (possibly thanks to Felix's influence), but an unknown force is actively trying to get her to remember.It's implied that this will be key to her putting an end to all this death, or at least saving her own life.
I think by the end, we'll be getting a message about how trying to suppress and forget the past will only hurt you in the long run, and that properly moving on is the key to true healing.
Just watched the series and this is exactly what I’m thinking. Also, I really, really hope things turn out okay for Sophie.
Unless it's a dentist office, never trust a company that has the word "smiles" in its name. Smiles are the _last_ thing they care about.
that
jesus fucken christ
Even a dentist office too, ugh those places scare the fuck outta me
Well, the dentists are the only place that can make you smile, at least better, literally. That and plastic surgery lmao
what about a braces office?
wait, what does that say about the good smile company...?
“I’m going to go wander around in this bunker in the middle of the night without my friends with a bunch of decayed old animatronics”
A tale as old as time
I guess she never heard of Five Nights at Freddy's
@@Squidbush8563 tbf it was created 50 years after she died
I was thinking that too. Like why are you going there in the dead of night. The fuck
Fr like they really heard “oh yeah go fix these old musty animatronics in a dingy abandoned bunker hidden in a forest but do it specifically at night and stay over” and thought it was a perfectly good idea 🤨 you couldn’t pay me any amount of money to put foot near there in the middle of the day, yet alone offer me 8$ overtime for a psycho robot bunny sleep over special.
Maybe I've missed something here, but surely this Felix guy would have been arrested and jailed after killing Waltens children in the car crash. There is no possible way to cover that up.
It was the 70's. It was possible.
Rich people get away with worse every day
I always assumed he got away with it by claiming it was an accident and disguising the fact that he'd been drinking.
@@dodgsonwevegotdodgsonhere9970 FFS, why do so many of you seem to think that the 1970s was the Wild Wild West? We had laws, people. Manslaughter was a thing, and it *was* illegal. If children went missing in your care, you would definitely be questioned, at the very least. And no, alcohol was NOT served at _fucking school parties._ 🙄
The fact he had legal paper work afterwards seems like he fought it and maybe lied to win but idk about how he covered the bodies
I'm willing to bet that the silhouette that appears next to the employees only door after Rosemary gets shoved into Sha is Sophie, who was the caretaker at the time (possibly to investigate her father's old company to find out what happened to him). I don't think she lured her mother backstage: it was just a coincidence that she walked in at that time. It was probably Bon, and Rosie was probably a nickname Jack gave to Rosemary.
Sophie likely stumbled onto Bon stuffing her mother's dismembered corpse into Sha (edit: either that or she actively witnessed the murder, and "Sophie, where am I" were Rosemary's last words before she was killed), traumatizing her so bad that someone gave her pills that help her forget that, the deaths of her siblings, and her father's disappearance. A psychiatrist, or maybe Kranken. A psychiatrist hired by Kranken? Whoever it was, they decided that her forgetting everything was the best solution. Bunnyfarm seems to be the result of either her siblings or Rosemary intentionally trying to make her remember. Maybe they want vengeance and she's the only way they can get it.
My interpretation is moreso that she's tangentially involved in creating the circumstances of the deaths: so she was the one who spoke but out of excitement, only to see her mother torn to pieces and put into an animatronic and being compelled to clean up afterwards because it's pretty much a given that she's never going to be believed.
"I know where he is!" and "I made them Beautiful. I don't know how, but I did," are probably quite literal in their original context, but through the framing we're shown and her own issues with feelings of personal guilt, vague recollection of the events themselves, and the proximity to each of the original victims, they're twisted to confirm her feelings of survivors guilt.
One thing I'll mention, is it probably wasn't Jack who lured Rosemary into the back given that, in the phone call, he calls her "Rose", not "Rosie".
My current theory, is Felix reprogrammed Bon to be aggressive to the people he believes would know too much or want to investigate the disappearances. Jack obviously was the one who knew that Ed and Molly were with Felix. Susan would likely know something was wrong with the animatronics, and could even discover one of the bodies, if she tried to tinker with them. We don't really know much about Charles, so it's hard to say what he would have known. Rosemary was looking into her husband's disappearance (though why she wasn't worried about her kids is interesting), and then Sophie likely witnessed her mom's death, or maybe found her mom's body in Sha. It's possible, since the people communicate through the animatronics given the mention of Ashley still screaming from inside Billy, that Sha said "Sophie, where am I?" to her, and that lead to Sophie investigating further, which lead to the traumatic discovery.
The photo in tape 1 of the founders feels so uncanny because their faces don’t look like they’re attached to a neck, just faced photoshopped on top of bodies.
Exactly and I hate the way Jack's face looks bc it's so uncanny
I definitely feel like it's an intentional decision by the creator to make it look like Felix just took a photo of himself and a picture of Jack and cut out their faces to stick onto another photo that he just found.
the background is all white, its definitely faked. im just thinking "why would a photo like that be faked." youd imagine them in front of a wall or by desks or in some kind of workshop for the animatronics right? so the stock background is whats throwing me off. its not "is it faked," its "WHY is it faked." at least in my mind.
@@omni0414 I'm thinking Jack was dead by the time Felix needed a photo, or at least was already not on talking terms with Felix due to the drunk driving killing his kids incident. Probably didn't think about having one taken together and then when he needed one it was too late for the real thing.
@@rambbler i agree with that, but i really dont think jack died. we know for certain he went MISSING, but saying he died just feels off. also i just finished the video since ive never heard of these and oh my god its so cool
I know everyone likes to laugh at Sophie’s ridiculous fear tolerance, but I also think it has something to do with the pills. Either she convinces herself the things she’s seeing are her hallucinations, or they make her forget (specifically things related to her trauma) which explains the 180 in her mood the next day.
I actually think that's one of the main problems with this series - the way the dialogue is written everyone speaks exactly the same and in too much detail for it to sound remotely natural
I'm not an expert so I can't really explain it properly but a lot of the word choices are odd for spoken dialogue
@@bntrs I agree too-although I must add I am also not an expert
@@bntrs so far, Felix and Brian (even tho he had a minor role) are the only characters to have decent voice acting. Everyone else sounds unnatural
My personal guess is that the pills suppress emotions, and she's being shown these so she can associate this memories with just a scary event and no parental ties to these events so she can't really feel any anger or hatred towards Felix.
@@gremlin8216 agreed. but I think the unnatural voice acting fits with this story's whole dynamic. it could be better.
(Definitely not watching this video for the hundredth time after watching the fnaf movie). I know I say this a lot, but this is one of my favorite videos on your channel and I often find myself rewatching it. The Walten Files perfectly captures all the loved aspects of the franchise, and it amazes me that it’s fanmade. Even with the style being different, Walls so accurately showcases the key qualities of fnaf, making it stick so well in the community.
This is so real
What us fnaf movie?
Never mind lol
Martin took all of the best parts of FNAF and made a cohesive story that actually is even more unnerving and never loses its horror.
This story is about how a cowardly alcoholic friend couldn't admit his worst mistake to his friend and instead chose to murder almost everyone involved. This is about a girl who lost her family and witnessed the death of her murder and can only cope by being drugged out of her mind.
I really hope Sophie makes it out alive. I'm hoping the animatronics all these victims have been put inside are able to kill Felix.
I hope Sophie's girlfriend isn't harmed. I'm definitely nervous for what's to come but I'm hoping the storyline stays consistent because I think it's excellent so far.
I predict the moment when Sophie and Bon meet, it would get really intense fast, as Sophie is running for her life.
Look into Gnostics. Sophia.
I think matpat said ir best in his video covering thus series: This isn't a story about animatronics, but a story about broken people which is why this series is so good
Nexpo is the only man on earth who can calmly say "let's move on" after explaining how someone's corpse was stuffed into a defunct animatronic bunny
Something about being alive and physically capable of feeling the pain and decomposition of your bleeding, rotting corpse is definitely scary

It doesn’t matter how many times I watch the Walten files, it never fails to make me uncomfortable. The story sticks with me and the imagery always creeps me out and leaves me hesitant to turn a corner when I’m finished. This is such a great example of a perfect horror story to me. I can’t help but thank the creator for creating something so effective for me
In retrospective i think what I don't really like about Walten Files is that the Animatronics are designed to be spooky monsters first instead of friendly animal characters, that's why FNAF 1 works as well as it does, it taps into the uncanny-ness of animatronics and their inherently inhuman movement, and hell, that's why Freddy and the gang are so popular, outside of the creepy lighting and dead stares they give during the nightshift they actually look like friendly cartoon animals.
Meanwhile the showstoppers all look like killer robots with no intention of entertaining children
that's one of my main problems too! When I saw the first episode, during the beginning where they show the showstoppers singing, they didn't look like they had intentions to being entertaining. They look straight up uncanny, which is a good thing for the series, but it kinda takes away the whole context of them being "entertaining for kids" cuz idk how kids would look at them and not think they're terrifying. im speaking of experience cuz I used to be terrified of the chuck e cheese mascot! The fnaf animatronics looked scary, but that was because it was in the context of them killing you. When taken out of that context, they look like actual mascots that could entertain people. The showstoppers in any context always look like they wanna kill you.
Eh, the main thing that makes this believable for me is that these are old, *old* animatronics. Like 70s animatronics. Animatronic bands in the 70s were all fucking terrifying
@@stickmanverycoolokay but if you look up old 70's animatronics...they looked like that too. In the present day, animatronics are a lot more advanced. That wasn't the case 50 years ago
This makes 5 Nights at Freddy’s seem like a Nick Jr. cartoon
fnaf lost its horror aspect so this makes me very happy
I was getting more influence from PaRappa the Rapper/Um Jammer Lammy or like Gregory Horror Show

This is the only Nexpo video where I have to keep looking away. As someone with anxiety issues, the jumpscares are quite a challenge for me to handle
7:38 it’s because of the angles of the necks. Heads don’t naturally turn like that when you are standing towards someone, take Jack for example. There is no way to properly describe how his head is proportioned while still sticking to the rules of how the human body works. Same with Felix, but a little less obvious.
The other visuals aren't that disturbing to me, however, i am REPULSED by the elongated, eye widened morphs of the faces over the animatronics--

This is so well made and engaging. I really like the voice of the person who made this. Also thank god for the captions, they really help when your ears suck
I find it ironic that Susan Woodings. probably the smartest one of the group(the Bons burger staff) Is trapped in Banny. Who is probably the dumbest one of the group(The animal characters)
Thanks a lot, Banny, you BUNNY.
@@plasticwalnut7650 I deadass expected him to just suddenly drop a "you dumb bitch" line at that moment tbh
I think a massive part of Susan’s suffering lies in her humiliation. As well as being the smartest, she’s probably also physically the strongest, and therefore maintains a bit of muscle which she’d take pride in i.e: “The MIGHTY rabbit needs to get out.” To then starve to death, and be forced to waste away into nothingness whilst being trapped inside a machine SHE built and knows all of the inner workings of as well as manually put it together and be locked inside a goddamn room, and literally all she needs to do is open the door, would be pretty sore for her. I think Bon and Banny’s relationship is possibly indicative of Jack and Susan’s relationship in general. I headcanon that they don’t like each other.
@@kiera6326 I love that theory, and it makes so much sense! It's certainly more than simply dramatic irony that the brains behind the animatronics would be forced into the dumbest one by her employer and murderer. There had to have been jealousy or spite behind the murder.
I have a feeling that Felix felt perpetually inferior in the business he had opened with Jack. (Cuz iirc he was just tagging along with Jack as a partner and Jack was the one who really wanted the business.) And I think he took out that frustration on Susan when her knowledge allowed her to see through his attempts to cover his tracks.
@@colorblockpoprocks6973 YES that definitely resonates! Felix’s inferiority in general seems to be what makes him an awful person. His vulnerability is something to pity, especially with the ear lack of help he was given during his alcoholism, but the cowardice that shines through as a result of that really makes me hate him, even if he’s not necessarily as villainous as people like to see him, and it’s pretty understandable why he reacted the way he did after such a gigantic mistake. But once he’s passed that stage and knows he has all the chess pieces in his hands, he’s pretty much God of BSI, especially with Jack gone. You would never survive with Felix as your employer. He’d be like Scrooge (interestingly enough) behind a friendly and honest front. And that makes him hate-able.
It’s also worth thinking about how much Susan especially would have pissed him off. She was a goner anyway whether she did or she didn’t, but he couldn’t fire her, as she possibly had some rights to the animatronics and that could result in a whole legal battle and attention brought to the animatronics that he had to avoid. He also _couldn’t_ fire her in a way that wouldn’t make her laugh in his face- what other engineer could build machines like that in 1974. She’s irreplaceable, and I think he possibly only realised that after she was gone. The idea to open a new restaurant was in my opinion, a front, as they had nobody to build animatronics like before, and it was the most convenient way to keep the facility caretakers for asking questions about their job. I think Jack and Felix probably resented Susan because of her ability to do the thing that kept them from achieving what they’d wanted for so long- building the damn things. Some of it might have been 70s misogyny. Maybe homophobia. Maybe it’s the competitiveness between them. All of it’s speculation though, there absolutely no canon basis for it. But oh yeah, her death was personal. Regardless of which one of them was actually responsible for it. When you also think about the shadow man being present, watching Rosemary get stuffed etc… you can’t tell me he also wasn’t watching Susan, through a camera maybe, just to make sure she was actually still there and would know when she was dead. I also refuse to believe that there just weren’t any shows with Banny over the next few weeks either. You can just imagine the awful, jerky movements, the panic on stage with all the kids laughing. “The rabbit needs to get the manager’s attention,” is one of the most chilling lines imo
everybody gangsta until nexpo says “we observe the following...”
Instant fear

Thats when shit gets real
everybody gangsta until nexpo says “Observe for yourself.”

I think the voice that lured rosemary was Felix. He has the motive, and it would not make sense for Sophie to call her mom by her first name. Sophie did however witness her mother die. And the pills make her forget it
This will forever be the most terrifying video series on TH-cam. Nothing comes close to unsettling and haunting the mind. It delves into childhood nostalgia, realistic trauma and nightmarish memories so well. That isn't even including the artstyle and sound design which is just....inhuman.
I tip my hat off to the creator. I will never sleep normal again.
Ashley literally started acting like she was playing a horror puzzle game like "oh a tape let's go put that in the creepy skeleton that I just said I wasn't going to go near" like it's the 70s do you not have a cassette player at home.
But then again it was night, she probably thought she shouldn't go home in the middle of the night and during the search(? cant remember the word) in K-9. She saw a tape and something that would play it at the time, her own curiosity killed her tbh
@@imtiredaf__6085 and what a brutal death, jesus
ashleys scream was terrifying like guyy
@HexaDecimal made up
At this point I'm convinced horror genre characters don't have any horror movies in their world, and yet Ashley's coworker mentions Texas Chainsaw Massacre so Ashley, honey, no.
So is no one gonna talk about how the theme song for the Bunnyfarm game is almost entirely comprised of morse code spelling out "help" over and over again?
Most people probably don't know morse, though it's pretty cool that you caught that.

@@jamesoliver9278 ikr 💀
30:01 its hamood

The fact that the victims were still alive after each attack and left to slowly die inside the suits, paralysed and starving with no one to hear their screams, is the most horrific thing about this series in my opinion. I honestly think Rosemary getting dismembered was probably the “nicest” death out of all of them, because at least she probably died relatively quickly.
Quickly...people reported screams, so she lasted alive for a while
She was definitely alive for a while. Until blood loss became her cause of death. But she must’ve felt how she was being cut into pieces for at least a few minutes. But I get what you mean, better to suffer a little than to suffer a lot.
I have long since headcanoned that when she got to the afterlife, she was aghast at her own death and traumatised, whilst Susan just glared at her.
(Also, is it significant that Walten’s wife got the quickest death? Affection for her, perhaps)???
@@kiera6326 Rosemary’s death was the quickest, yeah, but that doesn’t mean she had it the nicest. Her attack is probably the worst one as others were mangled/beaten to death, while she was literally torn to pieces.
But then again if the theory that Bon is Jack is true, his “affection” has been really fucked up.
@@Ravonaa Yeah. It’s really quite difficult to argue who had it worse since the way they die can be at times drastically different. I suppose if just depends on what resonates most with the viewer. I suppose it could be argued that Ashley had it the worst too, since it was her face that was ripped apart which is more sensitive than anywhere else in your body especially your eyes, and she lost both of hers. Regardless I think the fact that they’re trapped perpetually in this state of incomprehensible pain after their death is really the worst thing about the entire thing
Shout out to everyone else rewatching this in preparation for TWF 4 tomorrow! I’ll see you guys there!!
I can't frigging wait
waiting patiently now, see you there!
Watching this after but yee yee. Hope Nexpo does a video on eposides 4, 5, 6.
This is my favorite video of yours and I come back to it all the time! It's so well made.
Interesting observation: Brian, Susan, Ashley and Rosemary seem to get killed right after they shine their flashlights at Bon, who reacted violently to the light. On the second tape, Sha told us not to use flashlights near robots, so this should be connected
This is something I've noticed but I've never seen anyone point out. Considering the end of tape three mixed with the scene of Sha covered in blood screaming, I feel like I can assume Jack is alive, like Rosemary, and has been forced to watch as he kills people with his own hands, and be unable to stop himself. I think the scene at the end of tape three is when he finally is back in control and is realizing what he did to his wife, right in front of his child as well.
Maybe the direct exposure to light is similar to the high light from a car's headlights and it awakens the trauma in Jack...
@@mariohany589 aww damn, that's a good point!
The only other time we hear anything about lights is when Sha keeps asking us to "turn on the light" which could be related as well
Could connect to bon being behind sophie when she uses the lighter near him

I'm so glad i stumbled across this channel! This is my late night go to for weirdness and the bizarre.
This is my favorite episode. I have watched this so many times! It’s so good it feels real, that’s what makes this channel great 👍🏻
I've always felt that Felix is a coward and that is the catalyst for his actions. He hid the bodies because he feared the repercussions. I wouldn't be surprised if he killed Jack after Jack found out about his kids, hid his body in Bon, and thus began the cycle of death. Jack is most likely putting his face in videos as a threat to Felix and is killing his family as a means of letting them join him (or he may not be totally aware of what's happened and has good intentions behind making them "beautiful"). Either way, Bon is coming for Sophie and Felix. Just my opinion, love this story.
My exact thoughts while watching this! Can always count on you for a good take. My only deviation is that Jack may be doing the killing instead, with Felix facilitating it to ‘feed’ Jack or give him company (the ‘rabbit is starving’ line made me wonder if there is a cannibalistic component in keeping these animatronics ‘alive’).
Love your content, dad!
@Wendigoon yo pops 😎 & yeah this story is one of the best out rn, can’t wait for the rest of it
I think its more of a programming versus Jack kind of thing, as in Bon's programming is to get the Walten family and Jack is stuck inside him along for the ride unable to stop it.
There is a hit list tape, and I don’t think “Bon” would be able to make one. I think Felix is using Bon to do away with the other lose ends.
Jesus christ the elongated faces in these tapes are bone chilling to me, idk if I’ll be able to sleep now. It’s like horrifying but I also can’t stop looking at it, the story is super interesting too
They're super freaky, but they look like that one distorted image of Obama, Obunga, I think it was called?

This form of horror is my favorite, specifically how it’s very stop motion looking and all around just unsettling. Love your work man! Keep it up!
Might be looking into scary visuals too much but I recently learned that when police sketches are made for missing persons, they exaggerate features and make them uncanny because it triggers something in our mind that makes it more rememberable in our mind that allows us to better retroactively remember seeing the unaltered face or remember the poster in the future
Yeah, that's true and it's why police sketches of missing persons freak me out so much 😐 I always reference this one girl any time someone brings this up, and I can't ever remember what her name is... but anyway in the police "sketch" of her (pretty sure it's not a hand drawn sketch but rather like a computer... drawn... image? I'm sorry I have no idea what to call it) they made her look _so scary_ - at least to me. They like _reeaaally_ narrowed her face / mouth area and purposely made her look like a chipmunk because (like you said) they were exaggerating how she actually looked irl; and it worked, she was eventually found but sadly she was already dead I believe when they finally found her... 😢
Like I said, I can't remember her name... she's been in a few videos about this topic (off hand I remember she's in a Lazy Masquerade video on this subject) - but I'm sure you could find it if you *really* wanted. Irl, I remember she was blonde and pretty young like maybe early 20's or so... but that police sketch picture though 😱 it's just so damn scary 😭
Sorry for the long reply 🙂

@@justinburchette Are you talking about Jenny Gamez? She wasn't missing, but someone who was found deceased and couldn't be identified at the time.
The uncanny thing made me think of Jason Callahan. I watched the Robert Stack Unsolved Mysteries series as a kid and his original composite haunted me up until a few years before he was identified, and I wouldn't be surprised if the uncanny nature of that composite is what led to his eventual identification. In the years prior to when he was identified, I saw a lot of forums and chat boards where his case would pop up just because it stuck out in people's minds. And eventually someone recognized him, and within a year or two, he got his name back.
The uncanny sketches, at least in terms of does, does seem to work in some capacity.
@@justinburchette wait are you talking about the Jenny Gamez police sketch?? I remember this one sticking out to me too. Along with the Zodiac Killer Drawing. They’re so spine chilling.
*Edit to my previous post:* I broke down and looked up the video because I felt bad for not remembering her name... which is Jenny Gamez (spelled according to the videos subtitles.) She was from Cottage Grove, Oregon- and she was only 19 years old when she was murdered 😔 I'm gonna give some more information now, just in case anyone is interested (or maybe just curious) about her case.
*Warning:* Do *not* read the rest of this if you are sensitive to- or just would rather not hear about- horrible acts of violence against women; just a fair warning (also this is _really_ long... so, yeah, I'm sorry about that 😐)
~
She was actually the first of *two* bodies that the police found stuffed inside a suitcase (to clarify, that is two *separate* suitcases- each containing *one* body- found on two *separate* occasions) along a highway in Wisconsin; both were female. Only half of her was inside, and she was terribly decomposed... that's so sad 😔
The reconstruction image- creepy as it is- was actually enough to be noticed by her foster mother; and so that, along with her dental records, is how she was *finally* identified- over a year after her murder. The other victims name is Laura Simonson- 37 years old, from Farmington, Minnesota. As far as I know, Laura was *not* a Jane Doe like Jenny was; apparently, the police were able to identify Laura fairly quickly.
Steven Zelich, a former cop (😒), was found guilty of their murders. I believe he was sentenced to life w/o the possibility of parole.

Sorry for the novel length comment lol. There is obviously more detail to her story (as well as some other Missing Persons cases) in the video- so I would encourage anyone who is interested to give it a watch & go from there! 🙂

This style of video is really great because of how Ryan chimes in during the viewing of the videos. It feels like we’re watching it at the same time as him.
Ashley's death really seemed to have awoken some sort of primal fear in me. The audio of the screaming was disturbing enough, until it got to the point where it described how her coworkers left, assuming she already had, without realizing she was being murdered in the same building at that same time. And while being murdered by a possessed animatronic rabbit is unlikely, the realization that Ashley's scenario happens very often with victims of human murderers, made me close and lock my window and draw the curtains closed in the middle of summer.
The description of how she died just
