Freddy Fazbear's Pizza was once a beloved restaurant for kids and adults alike. But a string of incidents — including the kidnapping and implied murder of five children by a man wearing an empty animatronic suit, Health Department sanctions over numerous reports of filth, and "The Bite of '87" — has left the pizzeria on hard times. It's slated to close by year's end, since potential buyers want nothing to do with the company's tainted reputation.
The four mascots — Freddy Fazbear, Bonnie the Bunny, Chica the Chicken, and Foxy the Pirate — give off a particularly foul odor and show what appears to be "blood and mucus" around their eyes and mouths, which worried parents have interpreted as signs of "reanimated carcasses."
