  • February 19, 2026

Genre: Psychological horror / Supernatural Estimated runtime: 112 minutes Director: Emma Tammi Main cast:

  • Josh Hutcherson as Mike Schmidt
  • Elizabeth Lail as Vanessa
  • Piper Rubio as Abby (now around 12–13 years old)
  • Matthew Lillard as William Afton / Springtrap
  • Skeet Ulrich as a mysterious character (possibly Henry Emily or a live-action protector figure tied to the Puppet – rumored Scream reunion vibe)
  • Cameo: Scott Cawthon (small role as an old security guard or voice in minigames)

Opening (0:00 – 0:12) Black screen. Heavy breathing, metal scraping. Slow pan: an abandoned construction site, faded sign “FAZBEAR’S FRIGHT – THE HORROR ATTRACTION” blowing in the wind. Camera moves inside: dark corridors, cheap recreations of FNAF 1 & 2 decor (but filthy and torn). A young employee (minor character) is livestreaming his first night shift: “Guys, this is Fazbear’s Fright – they rebuilt the place where those murders happened. Tonight I’m surviving all six hours!” Lights flicker. A tall, ragged bunny-eared, greenish-gray metal figure appears behind him — Springtrap. First jump-scare: the employee is dragged into the darkness. Screen cuts to black. Title: FIVE NIGHTS AT FREDDY’S 3

Act 1 – Mike Returns (0:12 – 0:35) 30 years after the events of FNAF 1 (movie 1). Mike is now in his mid-to-late 30s, living alone, still haunted by what happened to Abby and Vanessa. He takes odd jobs, avoiding anything Fazbear-related.

Abby is now a teenager in middle school, but she keeps having recurring nightmares about “the golden rabbit man.” She hides drawings of Freddy’s from Mike.

Vanessa wakes from a long coma (end of FNAF 2 movie), but is partially paralyzed and lives in a psychiatric facility. She contacts Mike by phone: “He’s not dead… He’s still in there… inside the suit.”

A shady broker approaches Mike, offering him a high-paying “night security check” job at the newly opened Fazbear’s Fright attraction. Mike refuses at first, but when he learns they’re using real relics from the old locations (including evidence tied to his sister and parents), he reluctantly accepts — determined to end it once and for all.

Act 2 – Nights of Terror (0:35 – 1:20) Mike starts his shifts at Fazbear’s Fright. There are no functioning animatronics — only one thing: Springtrap — the decayed suit, moving slowly, emitting William’s raspy, distorted laugh.

Each night:

  • Night 1: Hallucinations begin — Mike sees flashes of the old Freddy’s 1 layout, hears children crying.
  • Night 2: Springtrap becomes more visible, whispering Mike’s name through broken speakers.
  • Night 3: Abby sneaks in to see her brother and gets trapped inside → both must evade Springtrap together.
  • Night 4: Vanessa escapes the hospital, arrives at the site, and reveals: “William didn’t die in the fire. His soul is trapped in the Spring Bonnie suit. He’s feeding on everyone’s fear to grow stronger.”
  • Night 5: Game-style minigames appear as hallucinations — Mike witnesses William murdering children, the failed “Happiest Day,” the Puppet trying but failing to free the souls.

Springtrap grows more aggressive, breaking through walls, crawling through vents. Constant jump-scares mixed with psychological moments: William talks to Mike like a twisted father figure, saying “We’re the same — we both lost family.”

Act 3 – Confrontation & Resolution (1:20 – 1:52) Mike, Abby, and Vanessa team up to burn the entire attraction down.

Major twist: Springtrap isn’t just William — it’s a collective of rage from all the unreleased children’s souls, with William still as the controlling core.

Climax: In the broken control room, Mike triggers the gas + fire system (like the FNAF 3 bad ending). Springtrap charges, impaling Mike badly. Abby cries, holding her brother. Vanessa shoots the suit, exposing William’s rotting corpse inside.

William laughs: “You can’t kill me. I am Fazbear.”

But Abby (the only one still “pure”) triggers a real “Happiest Day” — she hums the lullaby her mother once sang to her, and the Puppet’s music faintly echoes from afar. The children’s souls appear, dragging William into the darkness. Springtrap screams as it disintegrates.

The building erupts in flames. Mike, Abby, and Vanessa escape. Mike is gravely injured but alive.

Post-credits (2 scenes)

  1. A piece of Springtrap’s metal lies in the rubble… a finger twitches slightly → William isn’t fully gone (teasing FNAF 4 or Sister Location).
  2. A child (possibly Cassidy or Golden Freddy) watches from a distance, giving a sad smile → “It’s over… for now.”

Ending Mike, Abby, and Vanessa drive away from town, looking back at the fire. Mike: “This time… we really finished it.” Screen fades to black. Distorted music-box version of “My Grandfather’s Clock” plays.
