> "*. . .And the event that occured in the day that followed, would later be known as the Fazbear Massacre. The crazed serial killer only known as Springtrap took out some of my best friends. Freddy Fazbear, Chica, Foxy, BB, Mangle, and the Puppet, all of them mindlessly slaughtered by an evil man who desired nothing but revenge. However, not all of us fell; I was able to save some of my friends, and we took refuge in the old 1987 Freddy Fazbear's Pizza establishment. But now we don't know what to do. Our friends are gone. ..And all seems lost for us. What are we going to do?*"

***The Fazbear Massacre*** is a canonical event in the future of the Fazbear Lets Play series. *Springtrap*, alias "Purple Guy", escapes the saferoom, and a killing spree ensues. Following the event, only five animatronics live to tell the tale. This storyline is tied in with the Five Nights at Freddy's 3 playthrough, Jolly 2 playthrough, and has even inspired a fangame based on the story.

## Summary

The Fazbear Massacre was an event caused by Springtrap, in which he went on a major killing spree, murdering almost all animatronics left in the series. Few became lucky and survived, of which being the animatronics Bonnie, Toy Freddy, JJ, Spring Bonnie, and Golden Freddy (Who by extension, saved the few that did escape.) but were easily left grief-strucken by the incident. Following so, they were left to fend for themselves in hiding.

## History

Prior, and leading up to the tragedy, hints of an incident in itself occurring were present throughout the Fazbear Let's Play series as a whole. Springtrap seemingly became more and more aggravated each episode, the box itself had predicted a similar event occurring in the unfinished video of the SFM series, and so on. Although it may have been left unnoticed by the animatronics, there were many warnings.

The following is a list of episodes where the Fazbear Massacre was hinted at, either by unsuspecting animatronics, or Springtrap himself.

### *THE ANIMATRONICS REACT TO: FNAF Anniversary Images*

In this Fazbear reaction episode, the main animatronic gang, (Freddy, Bonnie, Chica, and Foxy) react to behind-the-scenes images of the first Five Nights at Freddy's game for the franchise's second anniversary. Everything seems to be all well, but following the video's outro, Springtrap reacts to his own anniversary images. While he comments on the images themselves, and the fact the animatronics seemingly forgot he had any to begin with, he further teases to the viewer that he will "strike against those fools", and that soon enough, the viewer will find out exactly where Springtrap is, and what he is planning. The video ends with what is heard to be a sound of a weapon being sharpened continuously, while Springtrap eerily laughs. The video fades out.

This video was released in August of 2016, close to a month before the incident.

### SPRING BONNIE PLAYS: Nightmare Before Disney (Night 9-10) || LITERALLY IMPOSSIBLE!!!

Before the video begins, Springtrap in a seemingly seperate room, monologues on his plan to destroy the animatronics, once he finds his axe. Before he can further explain to the viewer how the events will play out, Plushtrap, seemingly out of nowhere, finds and confronts Springtrap, having heard of him after being made in his image. Contrary to Springtrap believing Plushtrap to be some weird kid, Plushtrap offers Springtrap a proposition: He is aware that Springtrap intends to destroy the animatronics, and he offers to Springtrap to assist him in doing so, and to essentially be his ally. Springtrap believes some "pipsqueak" like Plushtrap wouldn't serve him any good, and threatens to destroy him as well if he does not leave Springtrap alone to his devices. Plushtrap tells Springtrap that he will regret his decision.

This video was uploaded September 29th, 2016: One day before the video where the massacre occurs.

## Incident

The tragedy started during a Fazbear Let's Play video, *"FREDDY PLAYS: Chipper and Sons Lumber Co."*. Freddy Fazbear, within the office, was doing a standard Let's Play of the game until a loud, crashing sound was heard inside the building. Freddy states that he'll be right back, but before he can return, the audio of him being murdered/destroyed can be heard in the background, as more crashing ensues. The cackling of what appears to be Springtrap can be heard echoing through the hallway, until *"Freddy"* comes back to continue the Let's Play. Things seem off, with Freddy's voice seemingly sounding much different, but soon enough, Springtap reveals himself to have been mimicking his voice. He states that Freddy has been killed, and he is going to finish off the others. After he finishes his monologue, the video abruptly cuts.

This leads to a cutscene, where Golden Freddy speaks to himself, and by extension the viewer, about what occurred, as if "logging" it somewhere private. He states that Freddy, alongside Chica, Foxy, Mangle, BB, and the Puppet, and seemingly all of the others, have been murdered. Springtrap, after killing Freddy in the office, had went through with his former plan. The event was later referred to as the "Fazbear Massacre", likely by Golden Freddy himself.

He was able to save only five animatronics in the chaos. Bonnie, JJ, Toy Freddy, Spring Bonnie, and himself. After being declined and belittled by his proposition, Plushtrap seems to be nowhere to be found. The living few escaped, and were left in hiding from Springtrap in the 1987 Freddy Fazbear's Pizza; The location where the bite of '87 had initially occurred. *(Alias, Five Night's at Freddy's 2 Location.)*

Golden Freddy ends his lament, stating that he has no idea what to do. His friends; His family, are gone, and all hope seems lost for the remaining survivors.

## 30 Years Later (Fazbear's Fright)

The final section of Fazbear Let's Plays, preceding the Five Night's at Freddy's 3 series, is the beginning cutscene of the first episode of the Fazbear's Fright location. **Bonnie**, who made it into the building under Golden Freddy's instruction, states it back to him via transceiver *(Walkie talkie)**.* He states he is inside, and afraid. He asks Golden Freddy for instruction on what to do next.

Golden Freddy responds back, congratulating him on getting inside of the location, and stating that this mission (no further explanation to the viewer) is their only shot. This is their only chance to fix things, for good.

The rest of the cutscene is played out in the next video on the channel, the first of the *Five Nights at Freddy's 3* Lets Plays and the beginning of Fazbear Let's Plays season three.

## Trivia

* This event marks a turning point for Plushtrap. While Plushtrap remains to be an antagonistic character, he becomes better allies with the animatronics themselves after working with them in Five Night's at Freddy's 3 Series, given his evil proposition was declined.
	+ If this were not the case, Plushtrap may have easily been in a similiar case to present-day Springtrap, in his punishment of being locked permanently in the saferoom.
* Following this incident, all previously mentioned animatronics that were killed are involved in the Fazbear Fright's series as phantoms, working for/being controlled by Springtrap against the others.
* This event seems to have been planned in the series very early on, as proven by the script of "Stop Toying With Me".
	+ Oddly enough, the same video was tied with Toy Freddy himself, one of the very few survivors.
* Suprisingly, in this incident and in the POPGOES series, JJ survives unscathed.
	+ Further more, Bonnie survives past the rest of the Fazbear Band (Freddy, Chica, Foxy), in both series.
* This is one of Springtrap's favorite moments/events on the channel, as proven in the one-million subscriber special.
* Considering the voice acting in the Fazbear Massacre fangame, parts of the fangame could be considered canonical to the core series. This is debatable, however.
* It is debatable if "Stop Toying With Me", although never finished, is canonical to the series; As if Golden Freddy already knew about the impending event of the Fazbear Massacre, he may have tried to stop it altogether before it ever occurred.
