  • disturbing visuals1

    • I think the most disturbing part of this series is how much it breaks and warps the faces of the humans. Its honestly more disturbing then the animatronics.
  • childhood nostalgia1

    • “Please do not shine your flashlight directly onto any of the animatro, “ Ashley: Yea yea, shut up.
    • Ashley: "I'm not going anywhere near that thing." Ashley a few minutes later: *"Wanna listen to some tunes?"*
    • "There's absolutely no way I am getting close to that thing" *Gets stuffed inside it*
  • poor decision-making5

    • Really all of the events in the series are the fault of whichever dumbass decided it’d be a good idea to serve alcohol at a SCHOOL PARTY
    • "what about that one!" picks the most decrepit house known to man
    • “What about that one?” **points to the creepiest and most unsafe looking house ever**
  • character deaths3

    • Ducky doesn’t deserve death, he’s the only sensible character introduced.
    • 7:07 OK so nobody’s gonna talk about how pumpkin rabbit was hiding behind Tammy. It doesn’t matter if they sleep or they don’t sleep they’re still going to die.
    • i like how ducky barely even had a death scene, just kinda turned misfigured and bloody.
  • misleading dialogue3

    • “this small key could be a life saver!” i mean yeah, not yours.
    • “this small key could be a life saver!” *fucking dies*
    • "Awe thanks a bunch, your a life saver felix." *Kills the children*
