Freddy's Murder Fest

**Freddy's Murder Fest** (Internally referenced as **Fallfest**) was a reoccurring Halloween themed showtape from 1989 to 1993. It served as the successor to the original **Fallfest** event, which was premiered in 1983 and 1984.

## History

The script for **Freddy's Murder Fest** was first written in 1986 by an unknown writer, and then quickly dubbed over by unknown people to presumably be used with the **Classic** animatronics. However, the original version was an elongated 30 minute long skit with no breaks between segments. When Freddy Fazbear's Pizza opened, the show was redubbed by the actual character's voices and cut up into several segments. The showtape was officially used with the Classic animatronics starting in October of 1989.

## Segments

**Freddy's Murder Fest** is broken up into 5 show segments. Despite the number of shows, Foxy only appears in one of them. Several songs appear in the beta version that were either omitted or replaced.

### The Monster Mash

Freddy and Chica perform The Monster Mash with Bonnie performing the instrumental.

### Purple People Eater

The show opens with Freddy thanks the audience for spending their Halloween with them. Chica mentions that each table will be given a bowl of candy and asks if she will get any, to which Bonnie and Freddy retort that there are "plenty of tricks **and** treats" referring to the show. After a brief announcement (contents unknown), Bonnie sings Purple People Eater. After the song, Chica remarks that the song makes her hungry due to the song being about eating people. When Bonnie notes that Purple People don't exist, Chica questions what a Purple People Eater eats. Chica suggests pizza and Bonnie suggests candy, causing Freddy to interject due to them both making him hungry.

### Ghosts

Freddy opens with a discussion about spending the night in a haunted house and provides a scenario, but is quick to tell the audience that there are no such things as ghosts. Chica and Bonnie ask how someone would survive in a haunted house in ghosts did exists, and Freddy begins singing a song about a similar scenario. Following the song, Freddy tells the audience that ghosts don't like sunlight. Chica mentions that ghosts sometimes seek revenge, and Freddy adds that "sometimes they die a horrible, horrible death but did nothing wrong," prompting Bonnie to mention that he would not want to meet an angry ghost. Freddy ominously mentions that they know what it's like as they begin the second song, after which the curtains close.

### The Flying Dutchman

Freddy thanks the audience again for spending their Halloween with them, and adds that they may expect a visit from one of their friends. The band calls out to Foxy, who refuses to emerge from his curtain. He only emerges when Freddy mentions that the kids are expecting him, and tells the audience that ghosts are plentiful on the open ocean, calling out the Flying Dutchman as one of the most popular ghost stories. Foxy then sings an old folksong about the Flying Dutchman pirate ship, but falls asleep at the end of the song. Once he awakens, Freddy thanks him for the visit and says goodbye. A disappointed Foxy asks to stay, but Freddy remarks that there isn't enough time, leaving a saddened Foxy to retreat behind his curtains.

### Robots

A mostly undocumented show, Freddy would have sung a song about a robot.

## Trivia

* In the **Purple People** **Eater** segment, there is cut dialogue for Bonnie introducing the song. He would have remarked that purple is his favorite color, which served as the reasoning for the songs selection. It may have been cut due to Bonnie being blue rather than purple, as dialogue from other parts of the showtape mistakenly refer to Bonnie as being purple in color for unknown reasons

* In the **Ghosts** segment, an entire third song and bridging dialogue were cut from the final version of the showtape. After the second songs completion, Chica would have cheerfully remarked that the song was silly. Freddy would then mention that not all ghosts are mean, but can occasionally be "sad, lonely and cold." Bonnie asks "How can a ghost get cold if their dead?" leading Freddy to say "by taking off their skin." Chica asks if Freddy has met a ghost like that before, leading into the cut song "Ghost of John. The dialogue and song were likely cut due to making the segment too long, and the dialogue not making logical sense on its own.

* There is leftover dialogue from the animatronics free roaming in the beta version of **The Flying Dutchman** segment. When Foxy reactivates, he can be heard saying "Hey kid, get off me or I'll keelhaul ya!" Foxy does not say this in the final version, meaning that it was likely a leftover from the animatronics being able to free roam and interact with the audience.

* In the final version of **The Flying Dutchman** segment, Foxy completely deactivates after the songs conclusion rather that acting like he falls asleep. The reason for this is unknown.
