The Five Nights At Freddy’s 2 movie has recently completed filming, with various leaks suggesting that it will draw heavily from the second installment of the celebrated video game series. Enthusiasts are eager to see if this cinematic venture will finally portray the unresolved events surrounding the infamous Bite of ’87.
The Intriguing Lore of FNAF 2
When FNAF 2 debuted in 2014, it expanded the intricate narrative landscape of the franchise, taking players deeper into the twisted backstory that characterizes this horrifying universe. This second game provided answers to prior mysteries while introducing a myriad of new questions that continue to engage the fan community.
For instance, it revealed the origins of the animatronic hauntings, with players navigating through Atari-style minigames. These mini-adventures involved the Puppet (a new eerie marionette character) resurrecting the spirits of murdered children, integrating them into animatronic bodies. This resurrection arc wasn’t just revelatory but also added an unsettling layer of complexity to the storyline, cultivating an endless well of fan theories and lore discussions.
Unpacking the Timeline Confusion
One of the biggest mysteries surrounding FNAF 2 is its placement within the franchise’s chronology. Initially, it was believed to follow the first game due to promotional content referring to it as a “Grand Reopening.”The previous animatronic characters appeared aged and deteriorated, seemingly replaced by newer “Toy”versions such as Freddy, Chica, and Bonnie. At first glance, the storyline suggested a conscious effort to rebrand and obscure the company’s troubled past.
However, closer examination of game elements unveils that FNAF 2 is actually a prequel set in 1987. The revelation relies on details from a payslip found in Night 5, where keen-eyed fans, including notable YouTuber MatPat, deciphered the timeline by comparing wage data, thus unveiling that these horrifying events unfold earlier in the series’ lore.
The Enigmatic “Bite of ’87”
In the narrative of FNAF 1, a chilling reference to the Bite of ’87 emerges from the dialogues of the Phone Guy (a.k.a. Ralph), who explains the events leading to the heightened security measures involving the animatronics. As he attempts to assuage fears, he cryptically mentions past incidents involving attacks on individuals, concluding ominously with, “But then there was The Bite of ’87.”This mention has left fans speculating about the identity of the victim and the precise circumstances of the incident.
While FNAF 2 hints at the Bite’s significance, the event itself transpires offscreen, leaving a void in the narrative that fans are eager to see filled. Notably, Ralph’s dialogue in Night 6 alludes to strange occurrences, implying an uninvited individual in a yellow suit wreaking havoc among the animatronics:
The place is closed down… At least for a while… Someone used one of the suits… We had a spare in the back, a yellow one… Someone used it… Now none of them are acting right…
This figure is widely believed to represent William Afton (also known as the Purple Guy), who is thought to have entered the pizzeria in his iconic Spring-Lock Bonnie suit, systematically dismantling the possessed animatronics haunted by vengeful spirits. The horror intensifies when Ralph ominously states, “We have one more event scheduled for tomorrow. A birthday… You’ll be on day shift. Wear your uniform and stay close to the animatronics. Make sure they don’t hurt anyone, okay?“This leads to speculation that the Bite of ’87 occurred on that fateful day when an agitated animatronic inflicted severe harm on a child.
Anticipating the Sequel’s Depiction of the Bite
With the upcoming film adaptation, fans are hopeful that the infamous Bite of ’87 will finally be brought to life on the big screen. Leaked production photos suggest the setting will transition audiences to an older pizzeria, prominently featuring the Toy animatronics on the establishment’s signage. The film’s lead, Josh Hutcherson, has confirmed that while it maintains a PG-13 rating, it is set to be darker and more suspenseful than its predecessor.
The Bite of ’87 encapsulates the unsettling essence of the FNAF franchise, as it occurs during a children’s birthday party, creating a jarring juxtaposition between the intended joy of the occasion and the horrific nature of the incident. The Phone Guy’s remarks stress the severity of the animatronic’s actions, indicating that this isn’t a mere scratch but a life-altering event.
Long-standing theories posit that Mangle, a Toy version of Foxy, may be responsible for the Bite, inflicting harm on an unsuspecting victim during the chaotic atmosphere of the birthday celebration. If this speculation proves accurate in the film, it would fulfill a significant narrative gap and resonate deeply with the dedicated FNAF fanbase eager for a mature exploration of this dark chapter in the series.
As anticipation builds for Five Nights At Freddy’s 2, it promises to engage fans with a compelling depiction of a notorious moment that has haunted the series since its inception.
