As someone who has spent countless nights huddled under blankets, peering into the eerie glow of screens filled with jumpscare-inducing animatronics, I found these Easter eggs to be absolutely delightful! The film’s creators have shown a remarkable understanding of the dedicated fans of the Five Nights at Freddy’s franchise.
Developed by Scott Cawthon and his company ScottGames, the highly cherished video game series Five Nights at Freddy’s delves into the ominous secrets surrounding Freddy Fazbear’s Pizza and its subsequent versions. Since its debut in 2014, the franchise has gained immense popularity, with a significant portion of its success attributed to active fan participation and creative theories.
Keeping that thought in mind, the 2023 release of the “Five Nights at Freddy’s” movie might have been slammed by critics, but it didn’t stop it from offering delightful and intricate fan service to both newcomers and veterans of the game. This was achieved by incorporating hidden Easter Eggs that catered to all its fans.
12 Chica’s Magic Rainbow
In a picture from Ice Cream Parties Parlor that was partly revealed earlier, Chica can be spotted sporting her Magic Rainbow on the ice cream machine and her cap while engaging with Mike in the movie adaptation of Five Nights at Freddy’s.
In the update for “Five Nights at Freddy’s World,” Chica’s Magic Rainbow served as an adversary. Within the realm of “Fnaf World, players are granted a special privilege: they can assume control over multiple animatronics featured in the game, including Chica’s Magic Rainbow.
Chica’s Magic Rainbow serves primarily to provoke the player throughout their gaming experience. Despite its seemingly friendly facade, the rainbow often utters harsh remarks aimed at disheartening the player.
11 The Dream Theory
Among the widely discussed fan theories about “Five Nights at Freddy’s” is the one known as the ‘dream theory’. This idea proposes that everything that happens within the “Five Nights at Freddy’s” game is merely a dream sequence.
In the movie, Mike frequently quotes and employs a specific book as a means to recall precisely the events surrounding his missing brother’s abduction, and to determine if any dormant memories resurface from his vivid dreams.
As a dedicated fan, I must say that while it may not be utilized exactly as its creators intended, delving into the Dream Theory book feels like a delightful wink from the creators to us, the enthusiasts who have invested countless hours in piecing together evidence and expanding the theory, adding layers of intrigue to the overall lore.
10 Sparky the Dog
In a creative twist, Sparky the Canine figure is purely fictional, manufactured and propagated by enthusiasts. During the initial launch of Five Nights at Freddy’s, this peaceable animatronic gained popularity on platforms such as Tumblr. The urban legend surrounding Sparky suggested he was a hidden animatronic lurking backstage, but this notion was soon debunked when savvy players discovered that the image of Sparky was actually a combination of Freddy and Foxy characters created using Photoshop.
Despite being debunked as a character within Five Nights at Freddy’s lore, Sparky the Dog remained adored by the community. In the movie, we see Sparky alongside retired animatronics kept in the repair and maintenance area of the facility.
9 Shadow Freddy
Featured as a cameo in Five Nights at Freddy’s 2, Five Nights at Freddy’s 3, Freddy Fazbear’s Pizzeria Simulator, Five Nights at Freddy’s: Help Wanted, Shadow Freddy is a mysterious and rare animatronic that makes brief appearances in the games. In Five Nights at Freddy’s 3, Shadow Freddy takes one of his biggest roles by helping guide the character through 8-bit mini-games. Not much is known about his character, other than his rarity.
In the hypothetical “Five Nights at Freddy’s” film, the enigmatic Shadow Freddy in purple appears on the surveillance camera inside the parts and service room. Subsequently, Maxine’s lifeless body is discovered being concealed within the suit. This brief appearance is a subtle tribute to the original fans and hints at a potential return for Shadow Freddy following Maxine’s tragic demise.
8 Ella the Doll
Ella, an animatronic doll crafted by Henry, was made for his daughter Charlotte. She debuted in the book “Five Nights at Freddy’s: The Silver Eyes“. Before Henry took his own life and their family moved from Hurricane, this was one of his early creations. Since she wasn’t used much and was kept in a closet, Ella is among the best-preserved animatronics within the series.
Accompanied by Sparky the Dog, Ella rests alongside other malfunctioning robots in the repair and maintenance section of the structure. Given that Ella originates from a book, this is one of the subtlest Easter eggs hidden within the movie; only the most dedicated fans manage to spot her in the dimly lit room.
7 The Puppet’s Music Box
In the closing moments of the Five Nights at Freddy’s movie, the chilling melody of the Puppet’s music box echoed, transporting me back to the gripping scenes of Five Nights at Freddy’s 2. There, I was tasked with intermittently playing this eerie tune to avert the terrifying jumpscare of the Puppet and save myself from an untimely demise. It’s one of the rare instances where the game gives a clear warning: if you fail to rewind the music box before the timer runs out, the Puppet will strike.
The haunting melody in the music serves as a chilling echo of the game’s initial frightening moments, subtly hinting at the continuation of the story from the original game for the players.
6 Youtubers as Employees of The Month
In Freddy Fazbear’s Pizza as depicted in the movie, several YouTubers are featured on the Employee of the Month wall. These familiar faces from the game who are pictured in frames include personalities like Razzbowski, Baz, FusionZGamer, Dawko, DJ Sterf, and 8-Bit Ryan.
Despite Markiplier not making an appearance due to his ongoing work on the game “Iron Lung”, fans were thrilled to spot references to other well-known YouTube personalities who had contributed to the game’s growing fanbase within the “Five Nights at Freddy’s” series.
5 “Come Find Me”
In the post-credit sequence, the enigmatic phrase “Come Find Me” remains a bit of a puzzle regarding its origin and intended meaning. Some fans speculate that it might be a twist on William Afton’s statement, “I always come back.” Others argue that it could be a direct reference to the “Give Gifts” minigame in Five Nights at Freddy’s 2. In this minigame, if the player dies, they can randomly encounter it, playing as The Puppet reviving the children who met tragic ends at Freddy Fazbear’s Pizza.
Some people think that this was Garrett’s method of signaling or making contact once more. Regardless of how it turned out, this is among the most contentious hidden references in the game, since it might suggest clues for the storyline of the next movie.
4 Pill Bottle
In the proposed “Five Nights at Freddy’s” movie, the character Mike resorts to taking sleeping pills with the aim of experiencing lucid dreams and possibly uncovering the truth about his brother’s fate. Interestingly, these sleeping pills on his bedside table appear to be a deliberate nod or reference to the similar pills depicted in “Five Nights at Freddy’s 4.”
In the fourth installment of the series, part of the game takes place within a child’s bedroom. On the nightstand next to the bed, there’s a bottle reminiscent of pills, potentially tying Mike’s character to the tormented child from Freddy Fazbear’s Pizza, who is pursued by the animatronics. Though this isn’t an explicit reference to the games, it’s a subtle and enjoyable Easter egg that attentive viewers picked up on.
3 Midnight Motorist
In the movie, Carl, who’s trying to get Mike dismissed, sports a T-shirt adorned with the Midnight Motorist mini-game. This mini-game is one of several challenges that players may come across in Freddy Fazbear’s Pizzeria Simulator.
In the game, a new character called the Yellow Figure emerges, causing a wave of speculation among fans about his role within the story or whether he could be an alter ego of William Afton. Another widely-discussed theory is that this figure might have ties to the “Give Gifts” mini-game and could potentially be the cruel parent of one of the children depicted in the room.
As a longtime fan of the horror genre and someone who has spent countless hours playing various video games, I must say that this subtle nod is a delightful Easter egg for those who have delved into the lesser-known titles within the Five Nights at Freddy’s franchise. Having played these games myself, I can attest to the intricate details and hidden references that only dedicated fans would appreciate. It’s always exciting to come across such easter eggs and feel connected to the gaming community that shares a similar passion for these unique titles.
2 Arnold/Tina/Endoskeleton
Known by fans as Arnolds, Tinas, or Endoskeletons, these basic animatronic characters pop up sporadically in the games, serving as uncommon but frequent sources of jumpscares. The Phone Guy mentions them too, cautioning Mike about their inclination to trap humans inside suits, believing they are defying the rules set by Freddy Fazbear’s Pizza and its endoskeletons.
1. In the movie, it’s the endoskeletons themselves who serve as the main adversaries, whether they are wearing suits or not, because their programming compels them to trap other perceived endoskeletons inside suits. Throughout the film, Tina can be seen concealed in various security cameras that Mike observes during Five Nights at Freddy’s.
1 The School’s Chalkboard
In the movie, the word list displayed on the school’s chalkboard was quite obvious, or blatant, and it contained words like Fox, Chick, Puppet, Bear, Bunny, and Manager. Fans of the series immediately recognized this as a direct nod to the games, further enriching the already abundant collection of Easter eggs in the Five Nights at Freddy’s film.
While it’s just a casual connection, some readers found it intriguing that the characters from Freddy Fazbear’s Pizza were so prominently mentioned, leading to speculation about the teacher’s role in the narrative.
