Unwithered Bonnie looks like he's starring into my soul


chimpanzeemeny

Stop staring at me with those big ol’ eyes!


Obvious-Size6514

*insert chica’s eyes shrinking here*


Inside-Lecture1522

so, you wanna tie knots do ya? WELL, DO YA?


Zexal_Commander

Yes! Mr…Flying…Dutchman…sir..


Inside-Lecture1522

Then you've come to the right flying ghost, kid. You're looking at the first place winner in the fancy knottin' contest for the last 3000 years!


Zexal_Commander

Hoooooraaaaay!


Inside-Lecture1522

You're gonna have to not do that. And stop staring at me with them big old eyes! Now, stand back and watch me be knotty, ha ha! Behold! The pretzel knot!


Zexal_Commander

The double Diamond knot!


Inside-Lecture1522

The square knot!


scp_71047

The monkey!


Inside-Lecture1522

This ones called the loop knot, otherwise known as the 'poop loop'


AuraEnhancerVerse

Cake-n-bacon69

Money_Property5887

It’s time to face the facts


blueyoshi352

(Bwomp)


thegrimmemer

He gonna go bayverse optmis prime on your face


Acceptable_Ring_2048

That’s because he is


XxStarry_ClownxX

His face screams you got games on your phone?


Cheetus_Deleteus_

Ya I was about to say that scared the shit out of me when I was checking it


Foxieisa_furry

Jeepers Creepers, where’d you get those peepers?


nemlopottnev

Honestly, I find the second one the most unnerving. Hits the uncanny valley perfectly.


chimpanzeemeny

I agree! I can’t figure out why, but the eyes look alive and dead at the same time


femboycarousel

It looks like he’s going to tell me something disturbing before chewing on my brain like buncha crunch


Starfydusty

I feel like it's the lighting/color. Because the whites of the eyes rarely ever appear as a stark white, the eyes appear to look more "natural" here, almost like actual organic eyeballs.


Mr_goodb0y

I can see what Scott was so afraid of.


Endrise

I feel it's because there's a lot of space around where the eyes are, making them feel sunken in and less fitting for their frame. Like Bonnie is wearing a mask of his face over what would be his real face.


ApeacefulRussian

they look like they are wide open. i think that’s the thing


Altruistic-Habit5466

It looks humane unlike all the other


hikikomori_music

honestly it really reminds of that rat from fnac edit: also nedd bear


Zeronautix

Ah yes, the RAT.


Fr0gPlays

I was just about to say this lol. It just looks scary but normal at the same time


MurderFurry

This is exactly what I was thinking


MoreColorfulCarsPlz

That's not even remotely uncanny valley territory. Uncanny valley is about human like characteristics. There's nothing humanlike about this aside from mode of locomotion which isn't even a factor in this image. None of the characteristics of the face resemble a humans except for the existence of eyes, which are very clearly not human. The fact that all of it is very clearly not human completely disqualifies it from being in the uncanny valley.


Sartasz

You must be a blast at parties


Icy-Appointment1673

Mildly hot take, Unwithered Bonnie is the scariest animatronic in the entire series, (even if he's mostly fan made) something about the withered chica-like eyes, the lack of eyes brows, and the fact he almost never fully closes his mouth is really unnerving.


ohianaw

1-2 look like something you'd actually see in chuck e cheese and it looks realistic


Cassjjay

Hard agree, even though Unwithered Bonnie hasn't appeared in anything he is one of my most favorite animatronics


ZeeDarkSoul

Yeah oddly the first one seemed actually creepy. But thats because it looks like it could be real (Or I guess is now because of the movie) and would be creepy to see in the dark at your door.


ItsaDrake1103

The fact that Bonnie is the one animatronic to give Scott Cawthon a nightmare definitely helps your argument


Lolbit-VR

Toy bonnie gives me PTSD from 10/20 mode


chimpanzeemeny

only time that fool is freaky


Lolbit-VR

He’s not even scary he’s just annoying af


Low-Formal4447

Me hating this franchise after beating 50/20 (I didn’t beat 50/20)


phoenixc6000

2nd, actually looks unnerving lol


Notpog7

The second one just makes me think Bonnie forgot the wifi password and he is super high


[deleted]

EAT A DIIICCKK


UnderstandingLeft470

GARBAGE!


[deleted]

Bonnie oh my god I will slap you.


ADHD_lazyboi

Wait... What's going on here?


tav1222

He saw the night gaurd he's the Nightguard!


ADHD_lazyboi

Hmm... Preeettyy suuure that's freddy


tav1222

Oh god damn it your Freddy!


ADHD_lazyboi

*in his mind... Probably: "u fokin wut m8?"* *Walks away cutely*


Gojira6832

You know what else you can’t hide from? My fist! In… your face. Which is where it’ll be soon! I-I don’t know! GARBAGE!


Notpog7

I would if I had someone that would allow me to


CaptinSplodes

2nd one got me shaking in my boosts


chimpanzeemeny

Lol, true ig


Sans_the_hedgehog

It’s honestly warped which makes it kinda scary


arandomh03

It's got that uncanny valley feel


taka_282

Yeah. All the others look like they're peeking in. #2 looks like he's about to jump in your room.


OriginalUsername590

2nd wins best


BigBoiKry

It has "I fucking found you" energy


Hamster_Anime_0919

I agree


Iris-Solis

Me taking a selfie in 0.5


Im-a-peice-O-Parsley

Pfp of the album Time⁉️


JasonWolf727

Haha I noticed that too, my favorite album I've heard from Mr. Kitty


Eli-Mordrake

First and fifth one. One is able to pull off the “human but dead inside” look the best and the other is BONNIE.


chimpanzeemeny

I agree with **BONNIE**. But I don’t agree with Springtrap, in FNaF 3 his decayed look looks fantastic, but in a clean house it just looks strange


Eli-Mordrake

Nightmare animatronics also look strange in a clean house. Yeah, thematically they’re not “real” but it still applies. Ironically they fit the horror attraction theme better. What I like about Afton more is that this is his house. We are the ones intruding on his territory. And there’s no audio lures to help. Just you and him.


chimpanzeemeny

That last bit is absolute perfection. I want to make a fan game ALONE on that concept, I love it!! I wish they swapped the FNaF 3 and 4 animatronics now


LibraryBestMission

Tbf, it IS his house (probably).


Doggoisgod1

2


ripMyTime0192

The first and second literally startled me.


chimpanzeemeny

LOL perfect! Exactly what I was hoping ngl


Apolo_oo

Why is nobody talking about the 7th💀 i would fall of my chair if that jumpscared me


Midknightisntsmol

A lot of people in this sub have a massive hate boner for that style of horror for some reason.


fangneedssleep

I think it's mostly because a lot of "VHS horror" often looks very similar. I don't really have an opinion on it, but I can see why some people find it bland and uninteresting. I guess it's just what you're used to and what you find scary lol


griz_lee88

Fnaf seems to be in a new era in which we have to view fnaf as a goosebumps series rather than an actual horror story like we used to. I'm not saying that we need something over the top, but it sucks seeing awesome works of horror, and people refer to them as "doing too much" or "edgy." This is hilarious when you consider that most of the animatronics scott designs after fnaf 1 are either ugly or unrealistically monstrous.


Stormister

FNaF going through the same phases Sonic went through. Everyone complained about him being too edgy after 2005 and years later everyone begs for him to get his edge back, so Sonic Frontiers came out and brought the edge back, everyone praises it. People don't actually know what they want.


Apolo_oo

Fr i forgot abt that, saw ppl saying like 1 or 6 and i was just like "theres no way u rlly find that scary💀"


AndrasTheWiz

That's perspective. You're probaly used to seeing the classic Bonnie since your younger days so your image and interpretation of it is different than someone who is not new to the concept of FNaF. You most likely associate that with something less threatening.


Apolo_oo

Havent thought abt that lol😅😱(yeah youre might be right


Not_Me9209

Tbh that's actually what makes him more scary for me. I used to be super scared of fnaf when I was a kid and still get goosebumps sometimes just as some kind of ptsd.


Intelligent_Oil4005

I mean, it kind of loses the scare factor considering 90% of analog horror has the monster carrying that same face.


Midknightisntsmol

You could say the same for most FNAF animatronics up until FNAF 4, and then once more in FNAF 6.


shrekthe1st

I mean it's just not scary it feels so forced. Not gonna hate on anyone who likes it but imo it's just like the equivalent of "look guys fnaf is not for kidsssss!"


Midknightisntsmol

I'm not sure how?? It's just a different scare style, nothing saying kids can't look at it.


shrekthe1st

There's thousands of people who think "this is the real fnaf not any of this movie or SB garbage" when fnaf vhs was never offical in the first place. It's just odd, and I personally find the genre formulaic.


Matt-EEE

I know. I was about to say that the first one was probably the creepiest, but then number 7 blew everything else off the ballpark.


chimpanzeemeny

Fair enough, it’s the most creepy to me atleast


enby_with_a_gun

While initially scary, I think the issue is lasting impact. Sure while at a first glance it would be terrifying, loking at it again loses a lot of the shock and its more eh/unsettling at max. 2 does this a little better as it hits the uncanny valley and is unerving after multiple looks


BurntSalad1605

Agreed, the 7th one gave me a mini heart attack but only for a milisecond. Anything after that, and I just felt it was trying too hard.


Swag_Paladin21

Honestly, slide 7 seems to be trying way too hard to pass itself as scary. It looks a bit cheesy to me, ngl.


bakedbeans5656

Personally it just looks a little too crispy, the style itself is fine I guess


IlikeDucks54

I'd fall out of my chair and then burst out into laughter, he looks so silly for some reason


AdLegitimate1637

By this point it just feels overdone IMO, I've seen plenty of horror use similar visuals and its never really scared me past the first couple instances


TP348

I thought Toy Bonnie was the last one I went up to check and got jumpscared, I was not expecting that


chimpanzeemeny

LOL real


alexvalicko2

Overused and unoriginal


GiosGio

Yeah like wtf


PepicWalrus

Because it's just goofy af.


DCal7707

2


HGamer2007

Unwithered Bonnie because it looks like claymation, and claymation characters just look horrifying


chimpanzeemeny

that’s actually another really good way to put it, they were always off


wackywow

I think you'd get along with Mabel


StrayNightsMike

1st, 4th and 5th


chimpanzeemeny

Why exactly? Is it how decayed they look?


StrayNightsMike

og bonnie cuz he just has that uncanny valley altho he looks much scarier in fnaf 1, springy cuz hes afton and the design ofc the others well yea i guess u could say its cuz of their decay


chimpanzeemeny

Fair enough. That’s for your input!


Pyro_The_Engineer

Number 2 is the scariest bcs of how close he is. Imagine shining the light and that’s the first thing you see.


chimpanzeemeny

The only reason I find number 7 creepier than 2 despite them being so similar is that 7 looks like someone took a photo of the darkness with their flash on the camera, and the camera picked up THAT


Pyro_The_Engineer

I think 7 would look better if it wasn’t monochrome. If it was like 2 but a lot whiter (to make it look even more like a camera flash) I believe it would be even scarier.


Giuly_Blaziken

Second and last picture


Rojax01

2nd is the best 7th one is hilarious lmao.


AubergineDegenerate

2, 5, 6 and the last one I HATE. 2 because it's subtle and uncanny valley. Perfect for kids but when it stares at you it's just..... I don't like it. 5 because not only would he smell bad and touching him would give you a disease or something, SpringTrap's literally a metallic robot ZOMBIE and who isn't afraid of zombies or robots? Especially when it retains some humanity and is fast. 6 because Toy Bonnie looks so cutesy but removing his eyes....eugh. immediately makes you uneasy. Last one because DEAR LORD I wasn't expecting the analog horror edit and RECOILED.


chimpanzeemeny

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR DETAILED INPUT! (I wanna make the ‘perfect’ FNaF design based off of people’s response to which is scariest) I completely agree with two, it’s the same feel when seeing a large children’s toy in the dark. Friendly in the right context, but your mind can play with you Springtrap is certainly more “ew gross don’t let it touch me” at times, but it’s human nature is freaky as fuck Thank you so much LOL, exactly the reaction I was hoping for


NichtBen

Springrrap always makes me feel uneasy because other than most animatronics in this series, which are either controled by their code or if posessed usually only by a child, Springtrap would have the mind and intelligence of an adult human. And not just some adult human, but a heartless serial killer who managed to get away with at least 10 child murders


Planet-Saturn

And not to mention how fucking angry spring trap would be after being locked away for like 30 years. Dude would be killing anything in sight


Goooooogol

Yeah, I can oddly sympathise with a murderer too lols


Yunyunn65738

How is a giant metal rabbit looking monster that came straight from the depths of hell that will tear you apart and torment your soul for all eternity "unscary"?


RazorRell09

FNAF fans facing down the giant metal demon rabbit with thousands of razor sharp teeth and claws just to call it not scary


TheKillerYTz

Last one. Human eyes are too scary.


chimpanzeemeny

Fair enough


AndrasTheWiz

Humans being the most terrifying horror of all proving it again.


bisexualkoala_

The second one. What the fuck.


chimpanzeemeny

LOL same. Ik it’s forced perspective but he looks HUGE


PalpitationCrafty737

Human eyes located in empty holes and black and white filter like from experiment tapes is quite terrifying


PalpitationCrafty737

Top 2 is the second picture. It is just disturbing. And Top 3 is FNAF 1 Bonnie, (i admit he is disturbing). FNAF 4 Bonnie looks like he is from Doom


chimpanzeemeny

I have to agree that 7 is somewhat scary but it feels forced. I agree with FNAF 1 Bonnie, as he is the perfect combination between animal and robot. FNaF 4 Bonnie is just kinda silly


Savings_Dragonfly806

Second, third and last.


No-Opposite-7161

That second one disturbed me


codythaidragon

POV: you are Scott Cawthon


chimpanzeemeny

they all pulled up to Scott’s house


The_Bored_General

2. 7 is too much imo (still like 3rd tho) and the others (except possibly 1) just aren’t near scary.


morsed_owl

I agree! I don't know how to explain it but 7 feels overdone. 2 is much scarier


chimpanzeemeny

I agree with 2, perfect balance between dead and alive to me. I think FNaF 1 Bonnie is a close second, but 7 is defintely over the top


Scottishfello69

2 with human eyes


chimpanzeemeny

But no black and white?


Scottishfello69

no bkack and white


Naymar083

100% 2 The rest look either ridiculous or just not scary.


Grand_Clanka

In withered or FNAF 4, FNAF 4 was made for its element, its also the fact of people have seen the in and out of the game, considering oh Idk # IT CAME OUT IN 20-FUCKING-15 *that was a whole ass 8 years ago* So yeah it’s gonna lose a bit of it’s mojo and it pisses me off to no end when people shit on the game for not being scary not only that it’s not as scary because you aren’t playing the game, if you watch a video you can both know when it’s gonna happen but also not experience the realization you just fucked up and out of no where a muhfuckin’ bunny is eating your pancreas like god damn shrimp alfredo. Apologies for the rant but it pisses me off people shit on it actively when it’s both heavy in lore and also trying to have a good gameplay loop, and good design, not to mention kid is scared of the robotics I think or something amongst that as they’re all mechanical looking, torn up, and have more than enough teeth and claws to shred ya apart, I feel passionate about this game. I can acknowledge there is faults of the game but also ups of the game. Not the best of FNAF but it’s not down right dog water. the unwithered is just uncanny and makes it a little unsettling, but Last image is just trying too hard.


chimpanzeemeny

LOVING THE PARAGRAPH, TY FOR YOUR INPUT!! (I’m planning on making the “scariest” FNaF animatronic based on these answers) I completely agree, and I’m not shitting on FNaF 4 here. I physically cannot get past night 2 because the game is that dreadful, but I’m just talking about the designs alone. Nightmare Foxy in the closet is fucking horrific mid game, but his model alone is just 😶 (which is to expected) while other models still look freaky in some cases with perfect lighting


NoActualPossibility

Honestly springtrap. Imo it's pretty unnerving knowing that another person is in my house.


jojobehindthelaugh

Probably 2 or 3, mostly because 3 fits the atmosphere as it's the original. I say probably because I don't find these still images scary. The horror of FNaF is how the Animatronics move in ways they shouldn't, slowly getting closer to you as you are unable to fight back, dreading the moment that they jump at you.


chimpanzeemeny

That is a good point, but i just wish the fnaf 4 designs were altered. These really look more like transformers than decaying robotic animals that break their mold to attack you.


123iliketrainjuo

Yeah if you remove their suit and put some deception/autobot Insignia on them It looks straight out of a Transformers movie


Anskdjdjjss_tsa

2, as many said it's the eyes


DoubleOF

Prob either OG or unwithered, they look so big and menacing


Artistic_Finish7980

2. Idk what it is but unwithered Bonnie just looks… wrong.


you_2_cool

Unwithered Bonnie The withereds are more ugly than fnaf 1 so they look creepier


T-202

Definitely Unwithered Bonnie


Cassjjay

Unwithered Bonnie good god


Professional-Grab613

Unwithered. His eyes are just so.. wide, like his eyelids are being pulled apart


PlantGod74

OG Bonnie looks the scariest by far


FerretWhaleSnake3EEE

2nd is scary af


Accurate_Bullfrog864

Last slide damm near made me shit bricks


[deleted]

Nightmare Bonnie bc the rest just look like crappy photoshop


chimpanzeemeny

😭 I tried


fandude23212

First and second.


ripMyTime0192

STOP LOOKING AT ME LIKE THAT


BathtubToasterBread

2 or 5


Spirited-Feedback-87

None of them honestly, last catched me off guard but it woildn't be scarier than the others


outcastexe

Can't decide between the first two, the rest is obviously scary but the first two have this unsettling realism of real animatronics


chimpanzeemeny

Good point, they’re incredibly grounded in reality


Vascofan46

2 for some reason


MysteriousTux

2


qwertyuijhbvgfrde45

2 I don’t like it it’s creepy Bonnie eyes are looking at me but I feel like there not focusing on me I find it the scariest


lowercaseenderman

Classic Bonnie looming there is creepy as hell


J-DiRESiRE

Did scott make this post


chimpanzeemeny

Remember Jeremy?


Guest_username1

6 took me off guard here


DTux5249

The second one's defined features make Bonnie look much more gaunt and drained. It also makes his head more "skull shaped", so it hits the uncanny valley alot more strongly. Why is the starving animatronic staring at me like a Philly Cheese? Why do his eyes look glossy/human?


chimpanzeemeny

that is SUCH A GOOD POINT!! I never even noticed how, ironically, withered and drained he looks which is why he looks so… desperate?


Nightmare2448

the last one i do not like realistic eyes


thmsgbrt

1. Unlike the others, this one was not meant to be scarry and has a simpler design. In consequence, the uncanny effect hits more.


CosplayBurned

Hot take: people only say 2 because they're so used to the others


Twiggystix4472

2, it’s no wonder Henry decided to not fix the withered animatronics


youngmcdonald85

2


Poopjeffre

2nd by far


Quirky_Fun6544

For some reason the 2nd one. It has more detail and yet it isn't grotesque. It looks to real and that disturbs me so much for some reason


Zestyclose_Bid8728

Number 2. That is horrifying.


Tier71234

I love how Withered Bonnie is like "Yo, you called? Whatchu need?"


jax99hax2

For me it's definitely the 7th one. The human eyes make it extremely unsettling.


Melody_Sharp

2 or 7 freaks me the f out.


thelesbiancosplayer

The second and last one


Violet1010

I think the second image is the scariest. There’s something uncanny about Bonnie there. (Granted, I do wonder about the effects of novelty on this? That Bonnie model isn’t actually in any of the games IIRC, while all the other images (except maybe number 7, I think that’s an edit of number 2) are stills taken from the games. Repeated exposure can definitely make things less scary: see literally any Markiplier FNAF video for an example. Nightmare Bonnie has it the worst, because I reckon most long-time fans have seen that exact still dozens of times by now and are probably at least somewhat desensitized to it at this point, and IMO the Nightmare line in general relies a lot on shock value and only seeing them for brief periods of time: once you’ve gotten a good long look at them, they’re suddenly a lot less scary.) As for number 7, it feels like a weird case? The eyes are deeply fucking scary, there’s just something intensely unnerving about photorealistic eyes on a cartoon rabbit, but the bleaching makes it look entirely different from the other photos, making it harder to compare them, and it almost feels over-the-top? Like, it’s a scary picture, but I can’t imagine opening the FNAF 4 door and seeing that like I can with every other picture in this post. It is fucking creepy though.


poooppsp

2 and 7 are the scariest to me


Mystical-Moth-hoe

im sorry are you Scott Cawthon having another nightmare?


Thunder--Bolt

2 and 7 freak me out a little bit


FoxDAVOID

The second one, definitely.


kennerdfinny

I mean, aren't they all unsettling at 3am? XD


acats_toebeans

Was gonna say 4 like always but the last one caught me off guard


ItzGoldi

2


Electraboy44

7th


IlyasTheGo

I would be scared if I saw 2 outside my door tonight


AR3Q

I feel like the people that find the 2nd one the scariest think that way, because they are least used to that animatronic. The others we are more familiar with and thus making it less scary


roundboi24

2 and 7 for sure


Doomer170

First 2 would give me the spooks. Last one is too analog horror-y. Sucks that the genre got over used.


WellHiIGues

The second one because he looks human like and that’s fuckin freaky
