I don't normally do "updates" but I found a HUGE piece of evidence to support this theory yesterday that I think you all will really enjoy, so expect a short "Diet Theory" in a few days once I've researched it a bit more!
Well the thing is he is defending his property because in the newer updates (before the release) he doesn't go fully across the street. He may be kidnapping people, but he is entitled to defend his property.
@@tsmchase6704 By the way spoilers! from what I understand from the little research I've done. The mother dies in a car crash, leaving the neighbor (husband) incredibly depressed. They have 2 kids a girl and a boy. The boy is also really upset about his mother's death, and in anger takes it out on his sister. The kids are playing and end up on the roof (I have no idea how) and the boy accidentally shoves his sister to hard, and she falls off the roof and dies. The Neighbor buries his daughter and not wanted to lose his son (his only family left) and locks him in the basement. Unfortunately because the neighbor has lost his mind the son starves to death. That's the background and lore that I found, pretty dark stuff.
@@colbedavey5851 from the "Hide and Seek" game, it's shown that Aaron, the son, lures Maya, the daughter, up to the roof and purely by accident, pushes her off because Mr. Peterson, after his wife's death, became more reclusive instead of comforting his children, who keep in mind, lost their mother as well, and Aaron, felt lost even though Maya tried to cheer him up. *Yikes, this guy's backstory is kinda sad*
I was looking at his mug. Which also had a goat with huge horns. And at times the devil is depicted as a goat.... oof Edit: I just read a comment that said his mug was a bull. Oops
The idea of a carny that made a deal with the devil is so much better than what they actually did, why didn't they just steal this idea from Mat? He literally gift wrapped it for them.
I keep seeing comments about how this theory was way better than the actual one💀 But I can’t find the canon story anywhere, if you know could you please explain😭
@@gideongethim-gethim6036Basically, when you were a kid, you tried to save another kid after they got kidnapped, and the neighbor kidnapped you. You escaped, and then years later you moved back to the neighborhood and had a nightmare about his house returning, and had a dream about conquering our fears or something??
Here's a proper explanation: Essentially the neighbor was originally a sane person, with a wife and 2 kids, a boy and a girl, one day the neighbor suffered a car accident, which killed his wife, thie led him into depression, and his son also being heavily by it, he started getting violent with his sister whenever he losed a game (they played alot), until one day, they went to play hide and seek, the daughter hid in the roof, and once the son finally found her, he was absolutely enraged, leading to him accidentally pushing his own sister of the roof in a moment of anger. The neighbor, with his mental health basically being non existent at this point, traps his own son in the basement, both due to his anger, but also the fear of losing his only family member. This leads to the events of the game, most especifically act 1, hello neighbor: Search and Rescue, act 2 and hello neighbor 2. in act 1, we play as a close friend of the neighbor's son, nicholas roth, or nicky for short hello neighbor: nicky's diary shows nicky had already noticed the absence of his friend, the way he and his father acted, something suspicious was going on and he knew it, but he only really started exploring the house after the first cutscene, he's just playing with his beach ball but hears a loud scream which appears to be of a child, coming from the neighbor's house, as he goes closer to try and see whats happening, it is possible to see the neighbor kidnapping someone (im assuming aaron escaped and the neighbor captured him) and looking out the window to see if anyone saw him or heard the screams (he probably didnt see us), then the game starts, nicky enters the basement by getting this red key to the lock. And what does he find in the basement? Nothing. Yes, nothing. Nicky is then captured by the neighbor, and is trapped in a room. for some reason, a weird cardboard cutout unlocks the door for him. Idk whats the lore relevancy of this, because nowhere do we see any mention of alive cardboard cutouts in the neighbors basement. And it also isnt the neighbors son. My theory is that this is the squad helping nicky, since in hello neighbor search to rescue, the squad frees nicky with the help of the guest. But im not entirely sur about, Did they just changed the story midway through the final release and hide and seek? (The game where were releaved to the backstory of th neighbor) idk maybe. But even then its really weird, after this nicky escapes the basement only to find out the neighbor built a giant fence so he cant escape. The house is also double the size now. Finally nicky escapes the neighbor's house. Which leads to the events of hello neighbor 2 and whatever happened after that useless cliffhanger, essentially quentin arrives, explores the neighbors house, the bakery, the manor and the taxidermist's house to get acess to the museum where the neighbor is hiding (possibly because nicky called the police or smth), he frees the neighbor's son, crow statue falls in the neighbor, aaron tries to save his father and someone bonks quentin (possibly a forest protector) and boom. Game ends. Now, its act 3 and 4, essentially, after the events of the first and second game, nicky, now as a grown adult is expelled from his appartment, so he returns to his old house in raven brooks, the house where the neighbor lived has been burned to the ground. By going closer to it, a cutscene plays with nicky exploring the remnants of the neighbors burned house, but he sees a weird shadow creature which makes he run to the other side of the street, already going to say this, but the shadowmman isnt a demon, nor the devil, nor the guest, nor the neighbor brother, nor aaron, nor whatever, he's nicky's representation of the trauma he lived as a child, or in other words, its just an hallucination. Lame right? Ik. Nicky gets a phone call and hallucinates more with the shadow man, then he falls asleep and wakes up in a dream, the neighbor's house is back and bigger than ever, he goes through a bunch of really bad and poorly tought out puzzles and enters the basement again, its literally the same thing but now with a small appearence of the shadow creature, the basement is just a check to see if you're with all the habilities from the fear levels (not going to talk about those because they're bad and unecessary). After that, you go to a room with a bed and a cardboard cutout (most likely is supposed to represent aaron) and then a giant neighbor appears and breaks the house entirely, you're now in a white void. And has to parkour your way to the house in the neighbor's back. After entering the house. You go through some weird parts and to the final section. With nicky having to protect his younger self of the shadow man. Which makes you bigger and bigger until the shadow man is defeated (or aka, you finally overcome your trauma). Nicky wakes up from the dream and the end. Well, im not sure if you'll like the lore or not, that's up to you. But for me. The original story that was being alluded to was way better and interesting than what we got.
@@novustalks7525 matpat told a story about how he got an email form a game company asking if he had a mole on the inside telling him the story. The game proceeded to come out buggy and not what fans wanted. The closest thing to that story would be hello neighbour
Here’s an interesting consideration - what if the whole “breaking into the house” thing is a metaphor? Let’s say that the house is symbolic of the neighbor’s mind, and then you, as the player, have noticed that something is deeply wrong with it (the neighbor’s general creepiness). So you are trying to get the neighbor to tell you what’s wrong by asking him questions that lead him to talk to you without realising. Every time he catches you in the game emulates each time he realises what you are doing and gets you to go away. That’s why he doesn’t bury you outright straight away, only when you reach the door (what’s bothering him) does he seal you off forever (burying you). Probably not true, but still, thought it was an interesting idea!
When you strike a deal with lucifer, then there is undoubtedly something wrong with your mind. Edit: with that i don't mean you're not mentally okay when you sign a deal with lucifer, im implying that if you do, it will certainly mess with your mind.
Susin Family OBVIOUSLY!! Like what else would be in his basement? Nothing is more precious than the Krabby Patty formula, we are probably playing as Plankton!
13:14 "Closer... Closer.... The book" "The Book?!?! Did you see the cup tho? There's also an insurmountable amount of one-eyed symbolism, but that's a whole nother...chapter.
@@vladimirde-vreeze7877 But that is AFTER the book part, so it wouldn't make any sense, therefore, it's a TERRIBLE timestamp to put for that comment, and people would reply "THATS NOT THE BOOK PART!!! THE BOOK PART IS 13:14!!!" Plus, it's possible he changed it.
The TRUE theory here is... How was he able to get enough money to build his house? I would like to know because and by the looks of it... some of the rooms look like they were hand built.
Bedcorn Theory is creating a suitable fake lore to fit into the game current state. So every theory isn't 100% true it's just there to give us satisfaction that the game clues have been solved.
Yeah. his "Arrow to the knee" theory created an entire conspiracy around medieval surgery. When in actuality, "taking an arrow to the knee" meant that you are getting married/already got married. But we really can't bag on him too much. He does say "its just a theory", like all the time.
Game: he's a man whom we know nothing about at this point. Just find the basement to answer everything! :) Matpat: So, yeah, he's definitely a runaway circus clown that sold his soul to the devil
There's a hello neighbor book! It turns out when the developers said "your returning to your childhood home" it's not the neighbour's house, it the one your moving into, when your character was about 12 he lived in that same house. And, the neighbor wasn't a clown, he designed theme parks. Edit: the book is called "hello Neighbor: missing pieces", also, I believe another book just came out, I forgot the name though...
@@nadir4562 He isn't! I've been reading the books too, (Thank GOSH someone else also commented something about the books as well..) anyway, the Neighbor is Aaron and Mya's dad. Not the player's)
or, the man in the picture is the playerr, years before when they were still growing who lost is his child and wife to the neighbor(unknown reason) and he wishes to get them back. Or it could be a Saw type thing where he has to kill either his family, him, or the neighbor. The ways i see it, it is still too early to make assumptions and matpat's jumping on the hype train
I'm still hoping there's gonna be a big twist there somewhere. Like him actually trying to save the world from some dark entity he locked up in his home. Or something like that. Or something better (hopefully)!
I think the piano hit is also three tri-tone note pairs. Tri-tones are often used to create harsh stinger noises, but they're considered the devil's interval because of its sound
That literally fits out with the so called "hello neighbor song" and at a part there is this part where he says: "you may think I'm the devil and I wish your lives in peril and let me spell out this for you: I'm just your neighbor" (this is me 3 years later: tf?)
actually Hello Neighbor doesn't have any lore it's the most simple story ever, just some people extremly overthinking it. also there are a lot of game with better lore than FNAF, just try Petscop, Fran Bow, and Little Misfortune.
Maddie B :3 Hmm....that's also a possibility....oh I know something else! What if the wife loved someone else and tried running away from the neighbour but he caught her and is trapping her as hostage with her kids? That's just a theory...a game theory!
I love how MatPat just causally shows a piece of promotional artwork that shows the neighbour covered in blood and holding a cleaver and doesn't even mention it. 8:30
So here’s a theory: When playing “Hello, Neighbor” and you get into the basement, you’ll notice that you only hear a woman and children screaming. Nobody else. If the children are really the kidnapped woman’s biological mom, than maybe they are the neighbors family. The neighbor and the kidnaped woman had a two (maybe one I’m pretty sure you hear two different child sounding screams but whatever) children, but they abandoned him. Left him alone in there old winding house. Any normal person would try to move on, if needed get a therapist, ex. Okay good. But the neighbor isn’t the most stable guy, now is he? Instead of moving on, he kidnaps them. Makes sure they can never leave again. Maybe the neighbor does more.......... sexual things to the children’s mom. I didn’t look into the logistics of this theory, but if I where you I would look deeper into it.
The first thing that comes to minds is Moloch, the biblical name for a god associated with child sacrifices often depicted as a bull. Leviticus (Where he is mentioned) 14:14 says: "The priest is to take some of the blood of the guilt offering and put it on the lobe of the right ear of the one to be cleansed, on the thumb of their right hand and on the big toe of their right foot." Here's the interesting thing, a "guilt offering" or a "trespass offering" is a sacrifice made to compensate for trespassing one way or another.
It is sad to see how when the game finally came out, everything that was promised wasn't fulfilled and they also ruined their own game making it more complicated than it should have and trying to stick more to the theme that fnaf games have
"It's like the biggest leap of logic that I could ever make" Wario is 10 ft. tall Ness is Sans Is the Neighbor being a clown REALLY the biggest leap of logic you could make?
I never thought about this before, but the hiding room could be in the basement to protect the family from would be ‘rescuers’. He may have brainwashed them that if anyone comes down they need to hide, or maybe they don’t want to be found. She may have screamed when they got checked on, worried that the player was the one who opened the door.
When he said the neighbor had a "partner", I thought this theory would go a COMPLETELY different direction. I literally thought this game would be about a kid napping, gay, clown couple. Whoops
It honestly depends on which ram version ur referring to... the ram that matpat was talking about isn't really about the devil... at least not according 2 the bible as far as I no... but if u look at the codex gigas/cuphead devil (they both look very similar) u do get a ram look
The clown art shown at 8:55 seems quite clearly to be a tribute to the clown from Stephen King's move "It" in my opinion. So overall not 100% with the carnie theory.
I knew he was evil when he drank straight out off the milk bottle
The 43rd Firedemon the only time you do that is if you can drain it all in one go.
The 43rd Firedemon XD OMG

The 43rd Firedemon o my god noo
1414 is also police radio code for wounding with intent.
That's most likely to separate them
The fact that the neighbor has the role as a killer clown is quite coincidental to the real world
This man is probably either bad or has a deeper purpose of doing this
Sometimes its just the fact that he enjoys doing it, remember the simple solutuion is usually the right one
Gamzee?
the fact that 6 years ago matpat did a joke about fnaf having a shark animatronic is insane
& scary. Might as well do a theory on this.
yeah, he joked about being Omnicient for predicting the mario movie would be a musical, but THIS, this where we say "Calm down Apollo"
And there is a fnaf book with a robot shark now
The fact that this theory is better than the actual "story" of the real game is sad.
I like to stick to the whole "his whole family died and now he's a lonely dad who probably went insane as he tries to fell the gapes of his dead family members by kidnaping kids" stuff, I mean it Does make sense and fit w the lore, and it's not that complicated

He works at a theme park and kills children with his rollercoaster
From what I've heard, I'm not completely certain but I believe he may be a carpenter, which kinda makes sense if you think about it
He worked in a themepark and i have proof, the people on the newletters are the children he killed, thats what i think it is.

I wonder if Mat ever over analyzes a game and creates like a "fake lore" that developer never actually intended lol
pretty much most theories made by most people..not just matpat
Bedcorn *cough* undertaletheory *cough*
That's 99% of most theories. But when creating art after you put it out the interpretation isn't up to you its up to the viewer
Bedcorn Theory is creating a suitable fake lore to fit into the game current state. So every theory isn't 100% true it's just there to give us satisfaction that the game clues have been solved.
Yeah. his "Arrow to the knee" theory created an entire conspiracy around medieval surgery. When in actuality, "taking an arrow to the knee" meant that you are getting married/already got married. But we really can't bag on him too much. He does say "its just a theory", like all the time.

Matpat: So, yeah, he's definitely a runaway circus clown that sold his soul to the devil
So William Macy the killer clown possibly?
There's a hello neighbor book! It turns out when the developers said "your returning to your childhood home" it's not the neighbour's house, it the one your moving into, when your character was about 12 he lived in that same house. And, the neighbor wasn't a clown, he designed theme parks.
Edit: the book is called "hello Neighbor: missing pieces", also, I believe another book just came out, I forgot the name though...
i played the game your character is the son
neighbor is your father
what hidden in the basement is the shadow man 'your mother indead ghost
@@nadir4562 He isn't! I've been reading the books too, (Thank GOSH someone else also commented something about the books as well..) anyway, the Neighbor is Aaron and Mya's dad. Not the player's)

what if the neighbours prisoners are his wife and child that want to leave him due to his insanity but he's keeping them against their will?
possible
.3.
or, the man in the picture is the playerr, years before when they were still growing who lost is his child and wife to the neighbor(unknown reason) and he wishes to get them back. Or it could be a Saw type thing where he has to kill either his family, him, or the neighbor.
The ways i see it, it is still too early to make assumptions and matpat's jumping on the hype train
Josh Iz Kwl thats what i tought it might be his wife and child
I'm still hoping there's gonna be a big twist there somewhere. Like him actually trying to save the world from some dark entity he locked up in his home. Or something like that. Or something better (hopefully)!

I think the piano hit is also three tri-tone note pairs. Tri-tones are often used to create harsh stinger noises, but they're considered the devil's interval because of its sound
That literally fits out with the so called "hello neighbor song" and at a part there is this part where he says: "you may think I'm the devil and I wish your lives in peril and let me spell out this for you: I'm just your neighbor" (this is me 3 years later: tf?)

The neighbour's drinking out of a cup with a goats head and horn, a traditional satanic reference. You got Faust before that really lol.
Also Faustus makes a deal with Mephistopheles a demon not lucifer. Kinda nitpicking but I just saw the play, really good.
Good point. The Neighbor's partner is more likely Mephistopheles than Satan himself.
yeah I thought it was what he was going to say in the look closer part
Cup looked like a bull head rather than a goat to me ;D but it's pretty abstract
ouch XD it burns
So you think the devil is after his soles?

Goodbye matpat this was my fav vid
So here’s a theory:
When playing “Hello, Neighbor” and you get into the basement, you’ll notice that you only hear a woman and children screaming. Nobody else. If the children are really the kidnapped woman’s biological mom, than maybe they are the neighbors family. The neighbor and the kidnaped woman had a two (maybe one I’m pretty sure you hear two different child sounding screams but whatever) children, but they abandoned him. Left him alone in there old winding house. Any normal person would try to move on, if needed get a therapist, ex. Okay good. But the neighbor isn’t the most stable guy, now is he? Instead of moving on, he kidnaps them. Makes sure they can never leave again. Maybe the neighbor does more.......... sexual things to the children’s mom. I didn’t look into the logistics of this theory, but if I where you I would look deeper into it.
That sounds like a really good and logical/normal theory 👍
i must ask how on earth did you miss that the neighour's mug has a ram's head on it?
upon further inspection, i think it's a bull
The first thing that comes to minds is Moloch, the biblical name for a god associated with child sacrifices often depicted as a bull. Leviticus (Where he is mentioned) 14:14 says:
"The priest is to take some of the blood of the guilt offering and put it on the lobe of the right ear of the one to be cleansed, on the thumb of their right hand and on the big toe of their right foot."
Here's the interesting thing, a "guilt offering" or a "trespass offering" is a sacrifice made to compensate for trespassing one way or another.
Lucian Balthazar Atleast he got the theory correct
Maybes that's what his update is gonna be about
that's was the first thing i noticed.
"visit the neighbor!" they said. "You'll make new friends!" *THEY SAID*!!!!

I never thought about this before, but the hiding room could be in the basement to protect the family from would be ‘rescuers’. He may have brainwashed them that if anyone comes down they need to hide, or maybe they don’t want to be found. She may have screamed when they got checked on, worried that the player was the one who opened the door.

I thought that at 13:16 he was talking about the ram on his cup because if you all dont now, that same ram represents the devil
Your grammar is the devil
It honestly depends on which ram version ur referring to... the ram that matpat was talking about isn't really about the devil... at least not according 2 the bible as far as I no... but if u look at the codex gigas/cuphead devil (they both look very similar) u do get a ram look
The clown art shown at 8:55 seems quite clearly to be a tribute to the clown from Stephen King's move "It" in my opinion. So overall not 100% with the carnie theory.
