‘Five Nights at Freddy’s Fans Are Harassing a Pizzeria

Today, I learned the difference between the average, run-of-the-mill video game conspiracy theorist — like the numerous fans who spent an inordinate amount of time investigating the freshly canned Silent Hills — and whatever it is that we should be calling the most diehard of diehard fans who worship the Five Nights at Freddy’s games.

They’re each comprised of the same ingredients, such as a passion for a certain topic and an alarming amount of free time with which to obsess over it, but the difference comes in the amount of crazy that’s involved. The amount of crazy the latter group demonstrated this week reached a new high, or low, depending on how you look at it, as countless Five Nights fans decided it’d be a good idea to use some random numbers to justify harassing a pizzeria in Virginia.

It all started when some fans noticed the numbers 7 and 8 were all over the HTML code in Five Nights creator Scott Cawthon’s website. Employing the magic of conspiracy logic, this entirely random fact was magically transformed into Google Map coordinates which pointed to one of this country’s seemingly infinite number of pizza joints.

A random review on the pizzeria’s Google Plus page that mentioned robots killing a kid is all these people needed to launch a full assault on the unsuspecting restaurant, which included inundating them with phone calls. This got bad enough that Cawthon had to ask them to stop being weird and crazy, and Reddit has since taken the initiative in deleting posts that mention the pizzeria, as well as banning repeat offenders.

Clearly, this restaurant has nothing to do with the recently unveiled Five Nights at Freddy’s 4. It’s why I’m not mentioning the name of the pizzeria, because while I’ve always trusted you to be a relatively sane individual, I’m not as sure about that guy.

    I admire them for their passion for the game. But also the games story isnt complicated and they released the same game 3 times. People have been this way with lost and Cloverfield – people love puzzles even though the puzzles are pointless.

      Actually, the story behind Freddy’s is surprisingly deep. As of yet no one knows for sure who the murderer was, even with all the geeks crazy about story details.

        Not deep, just because they keep it vague doesnt mean its deep.

        • thewizardninja

          Vague is the wrong word, a more appropriate one would be “scattered”. The whole thing is fairly detailed it’s just not all in the same place, strewn across 3 different games, sometimes in well-hidden places. An individual piece of information might seem vague on its own but not when it’s in the context of all the other pieces of information.

            The bite of 87! The bite of 87!

      Yeah, its all just about the murders that supposedly took place in the pizza restaurant over the years as well as that nobody knows who did them, not very deep going or anything.
      Its pretty much the kinda thing you would expect in an urban legend like Lover’s Lane and whatnot.
      I’ll say this, Bloodborne on the PS4 has some pretty damn extensive lore and as does Destiny, sure they’re Triple A games but pretty much any game can have a deep lore and backstory IF the developer puts effort into it.
      Something I don’t think Scott really did with his FNAF games.

    Why hunt down a number code in HTML to pick on a pizza place? There were real murders, at a chuckie cheese, around the time the game takes place. If you’re gonna stalk a pizza joint, why not one with a more clear connection?

  • reversalmushroom

    What’s the name of the pizzeria?

    • Queen B

      Freddy’s?

  • ThunderDragoon

    What are the odds of it leading to a pizza place? That’s so damn strange.

  • Sick_skwerl

    Hahaha! We’ve been using this as a test for paranoid schizophrenia for years- finding patterns in seemingly unrelated things. There’s a difference between being a fan and interpreting a html code for coordinates to a random pizza joint…

    “…launch a full assault on the unsuspecting restaurant, which included inundating them with phone calls.”

    You mean, only inundating them with phone calls?
