Tape 2

## Overview

Tape 2 - titled "Lost\_VHS\_tape | Henry.mp4" - was posted to YouTube on March 23rd, 2020. The tape stars Henry (originally Thomas) and his struggle to grasp his twisted reality as his desired toy by his father Martin.

## Summary

The tape introduces us to an unidentified child talking to - presumably - their father about their experience playing with the Henry doll. The date for this footage begins on Christmas day in 1985 at 1:35 AM. According to them, they had pulled off his arm like what the TV had suggested to do. The father off-screen asks if they might have broken the toy to which the child responds with "*I don't know, but he won't stop crying*".

The footage glitches out to another scene where it's barely any light to view the environment clearly. It's assumed to be the M&A HarmonyToys by the various toys attached to the walls and what could eithe be an exit/entrance in-front of the camera ahead with window panes on both sides of the glass doors. The date for this changes to August 11, 1986 at 5:41 AM. After a few seconds of the camera staring into the darkness, it shifts over to the left as a flashlight clicks, revealing a set of Henry dolls attached to a brick wall before repeating the process to the right.

With a few camera glitches, the footage fastforwards to 6:15 AM. To the right of the doors on the other side of the window seems to be a shadow figure with yellow eyes. The camera progressively becomes filled with static as the figure moves positions to the other side of the doors. As the footage seems to partially clear up, a quick glitch signals a jumpscare in the form of a somewhat visible skull of sorts that disappears when the glitch no longer appears. What or who the skull belongs to isn't known.

From there, the footage remains relatively stable with eerie silence and slight static until a silhouette gradually begins to rise from the center of the camera's view. After fully rising in the darkness, the flashlight is activated yet again to expose who the silhouette belongs to (which seems to be a Henry doll as suggested by the outlined cheeks, eyebrows and jawline similar to the doll's design) as distorted, blaring music sounds another jumpscare. An assumed photo-negative filter is used in this jumpscare.

Once the camera footage cuts to another segment, this instead involves Thomas himself now infused with a Henry doll. Static along with low-pitched music are heard in the background as the doll is seen staring off-screen. At 3:20, the music eventually is silenced as the following text is displayed from Thomas:

> "*I can't feel my arms. I can't feel my legs. Yet I only feel pain. There is something inside me. Something that beats...*"
>
>

With this, the doll turns to face the camera as the text states:

> "*Like it wants to get out.*"
>
>

There's a short interval of silence as the doll continues to stare before yet another jumpscare with flashing lights and distorted music/noises consume the video. Henry, now with sunken eyes and an open mouth, shakes the camera violently with a few moments spent zooming in on his face as the tape ends with the words:

> "*I want to get out.*"
>

## Trivia

* In the description, Battington states that these videos were inspired by Squimpus McGrimpus (who is responsible for making FNaF-inspired lost footage).
* In the video itself, it's assumed that Thomas has the awareness that he's apart of the doll but is unable to move by his own accord nor escape.
* By a random comment (made by Koro Ahmed), the music briefly played during the segment involving Henry is Shanghai Shuffle - Fletcher Henderson And His Orchestra featuring Louis Armstrong.
* Some users in the comments of this video mention the fact CoryxKenshin brought their attention to Battington's channel, especially when Cory himself reacted to this video during one of his Spooky Scary Sunday videos.
* No user seems to have theories/details about the shadow figure found in the video.
