Revisit Five Nights at Freddy’s with less humor and spoon feeding to preserve the tension. Adjustments are made to the characters for a stronger story.

With the upcoming release of Five Night’s at Freddy’s 2, I wanted to take a shot at the first film. I think the movie worked just fine but it had too many funny moments that downplayed the tension. While I didn’t mind the cameos by Mat Pat and Cory, they didn’t seem to be relevant for the plot. Lines of dialogue I felt hinted things too early or were just included to spoon feed the audience were taken out. A fair amount of editing was done to help strengthen the story while still keeping the humor that did work.

Cuts and Additions:

  • Added more saturation, increased the gamma, and removed the yellow tint for a more vibrant, natural look.

  • Removed the flashback of Mike’s security incident.

  • Slightly trimmed William Afton’s run down on Freddy’s during Mike’s first night.

  • Removed Mat Pat’s cameo.

  • Cut Jeff suggesting that Mike should be killed.

  • Removed Jane telling Jeff to not mess up the break in plan.

  • Removed Ballon Boy’s second jump scare.

  • Cut Foxy’s shadow appearing in the surveillance footage.

  • Removed the bloody eyes jump scare from Foxy’s ghost kid.

  • Shortened the amount of time the camera lingers on Vanessa after she tells Mike he’ll be fine if he does his job.

  • Trimmed Hank fleeing for his life and removed his screams when Jeff watches through the monitors.

  • Cut Mike saying “It’s them” when he looks at Abby’s drawing of the ghost kids.

  • The entire fort building montage is removed.

  • Cut Mike and Vanessa in the parking lot after Abby’s incident with the animatronics.

  • Removed Mike at the pharmacy.

  • Cut Mike saying yes to the blond ghost kid when he initially accepts to stay with his brother.

  • Removed Foxy approaching Mike.

  • Removed CoryxKenshin’s cameos.

  • Replaced Mike telling Vanessa he said yes to the kids with an AI line saying they wouldn’t take no for an answer.

  • Removed Abby wondering where Golden Freddy went.

  • Changed the static shot of the Yellow Rabbit drawing with a slight zoom in.

  • Removed Vanessa explaining that the animatronics don’t want to hurt anyone and are under the control of William.

  • Removed a lingering shot of Vanessa when Mike looks up at her.

  • Cut Mike demanding Vanessa to help him.

  • Cut Abby telling Mike they should get out after she is saved from Chica.

  • Removed William laughing when he confronts Mike in an effort to make him seem less cartoonish.

  • Removed Abby showing concern for Foxy after Vanessa saves her.

  • Cut William’s back and forth between Vanessa so he reveals his face right after she intervenes.

  • Replaced Mike remembering Vanessa’s words about the animatronics being controlled with Dr. Lillian explaining how images can a tool for understanding the world.

  • Removed Abby grunting when she approaches the drawings.

  • Cut William asking what Abby did.

  • Removed Abby saying “They can see you now” and “They know what you did”.
