Plot Summary (Spoiler Overview)
The film opens in 1982, revealing the brutal murder of Charlotte Emily at the original Freddy Fazbear’s Pizza, committed by William Afton. Her death gives rise to the Marionette animatronic, a central supernatural force that shapes the franchise’s darkest events. The incident is buried, allowing multiple Freddy’s locations to open in the years that follow.
By 2002, the animatronic murders have become urban legends, celebrated through a festival called FazFest. Abby Schmidt remains emotionally connected to the animatronics, while Vanessa struggles with trauma linked to her father, William Afton. When paranormal investigators accidentally awaken the Marionette, chaos erupts as the “Toy” animatronics go on a deadly rampage across town.
As Abby is manipulated and eventually possessed, Mike and Vanessa race against time to stop the Marionette’s control. Long-buried family secrets surface, including shocking revelations about William Afton’s legacy, his surviving children, and the true nature of the animatronics’ souls. The film builds to a tense climax involving possessed characters, battling animatronics, and a chilling ending that hints at future sequels—especially with William Afton’s spirit reawakening inside his springlock suit.
