Deciphering Five Nights At Freddy’s 2’s Four Script Pages & What They Reveal

Summary

• The team behind
  Five Nights at Freddy’s 2
  has released four script pages, suggesting that only one is real.
• Fans have scoured the pages for clues about the upcoming movie’s plot, though it’s hard to know which one is authentic.
• Script page 4 seems like the most plausible reveal about
  FNAF 2
  ‘s narrative.

Alongside behind-the-scenes photos, Five Nights at Freddy’s 2 released a script page from the sequel — but the catch is that the real page is hidden among three fake excerpts, encouraging FNAF fans to deduce what page provides actual clues to the movie’s plot. The Five Nights at Freddy’s 2 potential script details only make the upcoming sequel all-the-more exciting; clearly, the team behind the FNAF movies know that long-time fans of the series love Five Nights at Freddy’s Easter eggs and references — especially when it comes to the franchise’s lore.

Created by Scott Cawthon, the Five Nights at Freddy’s survival horror video games are steeped in lore, which gives the movies a lot of interesting plot points and characters to play with, including security and protagonist Mike Schmidt (Josh Hutcherson). In Five Nights at Freddy‘s ending, William Afton (Matthew Lillard) is revealed to be a child serial killer, who is responsible for the death of Mike’s brother, Garrett, as well as the deaths of children whose spirits now possess the homicidal animatronics — Freddy, Chica, Foxy, and Bonnie — that roam the pizzeria.

Five Nights At Freddy’s 2 Could Be About The Animatronics Getting Free

FNAF’s Ending Reveals That The Animatronics Are Possessed By The Spirits Of William Afton’s Victims

The first script page in question is the one numbered 25 and suggests that the animatronics in Five Nights at Freddy’s 2 will try to break free from whatever restaurant or entertainment center they’re entombed in. The scene features Vanessa (Elizabeth Lail), William Afton’s estranged daughter who’s a cop in the first movie, and Abby (Piper Rubio), Mike’s younger sister who forms a bond with the animatronics in the first film. But the duo aren’t alone. Toy Chica, a variant of the yellow chick animatronic, forces Vanessa to give her a code, which, seemingly, allows the animatronics to be free.

Five Nights At Freddy’s 2 Might Reveal A Military Connection To Freddy Fazbear’s Pizzeria

The U.S. Army Might “Be In Bed” With William Afton’s Pizzeria Chain

Part of the intrigue of the Five Nights at Freddy’s games is that everything stems from William Afton’s singular vision and ambition — no matter how misguided. Of course, he does have a business partner, Henry Emily, but, by and large, Afton is the root of the many problems in the FNAF universe. That said, the potential plot reveal contained in script page 18 is the least interesting of all. In a somewhat-ludicrous twist, the page suggests that Fazbear Entertainment’s animatronic tech may be linked to the U.S. Army, which has an interest in Afton’s innovative suits.

Mike & Vanessa Could Fight Plushies In Five Nights At Freddy’s 2

Abby Tells A Story About Destroying Plushies — & It Could Be A Metaphor For The Animatronics

No, Five Nights at Freddy’s 2 probably isn’t about Mike and Vanessa battling possessed plushies — though stranger things have happened in the FNAF universe. Instead, script page 58 features Abby telling a story to Mike about a boy who loves his plushies, but realizes that they’re harboring germs that are making him sick. In the end, the boy has to burn his plushies. Abby suggests that Mike and Vanessa should do the same to the animatronics. Given her sympathetic nature, Abby’s plan might be meant to help the souls locked inside the animatronics.

Five Nights At Freddy’s 2 Might Have Three New Animatronics

FNAF’s Sequel Could Expand Its Cast Of Characters

The final possibility, script page 4, features a scene with entirely new human characters, though it also suggests that Five Nights at Freddy’s 2 will expand its roster of animatronics. In the scene, a man and his children enter an abandoned pizzeria filled with colorful animatronics. Eventually, the man reveals a hidden staircase and takes his children to some sort of basement beneath the pizzeria. While this page has huge implications for FNAF‘s lore, the most clear-cut detail is that the second film will feature “a gator, a wolf, and a hippo” — all animatronics from the FNAF games.

Which Five Nights At Freddy’s 2 Script Page Is Real?

FNAF Script Page 4 Seems Like The Most Probable One

While it’s impossible to say with certainty, it seems most likely that script page 4 is the real one. Expanding Five Nights at Freddy’s cast of characters makes a ton of sense for the sequel. Plus, the reveal that something more complicated and sinister is happening below Fazbear Entertainment’s businesses is the perfect way to delve into the movies’ take on the franchise’s lore. Of course, when it comes to FNAF and Scott Cawthon, nothing is as it seems. It wouldn’t be surprising if all the script pages gave insight into the real plot of Five Nights at Freddy’s 2.

Five Nights at Freddy’s is streaming on Amazon Prime Video.
