Here is a list of every character that died in the latest adaptation Five Nights at Freddy's. Read on...
Five Nights at Freddy’s has made a huge impact despite being simultaneously released in theatres and online. The film had a remarkable opening weekend, grossing an impressive USD 130.5 million globally. It even surpassed popular films like Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour and Martin Scorsese's Killers of the Flower Moon. But if you'd rather enjoy the movie from the comfort of your home, you can stream the movie adaptation of the beloved video game series on Peacock.
Here's a list of all the people who died in the movie and how it happened.
The unnamed guard
The story begins with an unnamed security guard patrolling Freddy Fazbear's Pizza. He ends up running for his life, being chased by the scary Foxy animatronic character. His fate is sealed as he screams in terror, the screen goes black, and it's clear he won't make it out alive.

Max's curiosity turns gruesome

Aunt Jane's scheming cut short
Aunt Jane, played by Mary Stuart Masterson, has her scheming abruptly stopped by something spooky within Freddy. She's motionless on the floor as Abby leaves, suggesting a sinister encounter that goes beyond the living.

William Afton's death
The final and most significant moment in the story is the gruesome end of William Afton, played by Matthew Lillard. He was a bad guy who hurt children. He meets a fate that's like a kind of twisted justice. He gets trapped in the Golden Bonnie animatronic suit and is killed by the spring locks, which is a big deal in the game's story. His death isn't just the end, though. It leads to him becoming Springtrap, which is a nod to fans who know a lot about the complex Five Nights at Freddy’s story.
