I’m going to tell you a story of broken people. Beautiful people.
Bon’s Burgers was supposed to be a magical place full of fun and excitement, until people started to go missing. Late one night, loud music is heard blaring from the restaurant, and something isn’t quite right with the animatronics.
Produced by Chilean filmmaker @Martin Walls and inspired by Scott Cawthon’s Five Nights at Freddy’s series, The Walten Files is an analog-horror web series chronicling the mysterious events surrounding Bon’s Burgers and the associated animatronic characters.
The series also serves as a love-letter to analog horror; there are countless references and homages embedded within. I was able to locate callbacks to Local58, FNAF VHS, Gemini Home Entertainment, and more!
I’ve wanted to make this video for MONTHS. The Walten Files is an INCREDIBLY dense series and it means a lot to me; I really wanted to make sure I could get this one right. However, I’m really proud of my recent retrospective on @Battington’s FNAF VHS series, and people seemed to really enjoy it, so I finally mustered up the confidence to bite the bullet and make a Walten Files video.
This isn’t an analysis or a theory video; it’s just a retrospective. Honestly, putting out Walten Files theories is quite intimidating – the fanbase can be very, very passionate, and I fear that I might upset some die-hard fans who don’t necessarily agree with my interpretation.

The Walten Files is so dope. I love it.
The TTS at 11:00 uses weird pronouns ("…hoping that HIS beloved husband…" "I know where SHE is."), but I presume this is a mistake. I used both genders; why not?

i mean, if someone is missing for long enough, they can eb pronouced dead, cant they? i feel like a funeral was held for the girls because they couldnt be found, and they (correctly) assumed the wort
Is that Professor Snape?
I thought he was going to make a 4th episode 🤔🤔
Honestly billy is kinda cute. Like it's animatronic is creepy but it's lil cartoon is adorable. In like a weird kid that eats bugs kind of way.
Like one of it's lines is just "BILLY!! :D"
The Walten Files isn't over btw. Martin has been working on 4 for a bit, now.
HAIL THE ALMIGHTY FINNED ONE
13:52 we can see a name on boozoos head charles
I just wish that walten files had the skill to make some of the “real life” parts not just animation, and actually realistic, just sounds nice
If the creator/s didn't want anyone to draw connections between their series and FNaF, why did they make their main animatronic a blue bunny? It seems super hypocritical.

Jack walten just looks like Sr. Pelo lmao, as well as having the most goofy aah face ever
Wait… The Walten Files are officially over? I mean, maybe FNaF has set me up to expect more length out of haunted animatronics, but as absolutely amazing as I find it, there seems to be no resolution to its plot. Sure, we discover some of the hows and whys of the hauntings, but things like how Sophie deals with the information she uncovers, or what happens to the haunted animatroncs is left completely unanswered. I'm all for ambiguity in storytelling, but this just feels like an open hole that was designed to be filled eventually.
Probably the creepiest VHS tape I've ever seen
Boozoo the Gut
""everything is going to be okay! :)"
*Moments later, Felix f l i p s t h e c a r" is so funny to me 😂
clowns indeed are an species, more dangerous than all the wildlife of australia
I can't wait for you to talk about 32 minutos
It's not cannon
If you look at the lunch bag, it has 'love ya' mom written on it😆
Didn't you throw a fit for being rickrolled?
"The bunny rabbit needs to get out, the bunny rabbit needs to get out, the rabbit is starving, the rabbit is starving." Is so damn freaky
Someone feed that rabbit
Omg the Walten files are freaking awesome!!!
The clip with the purple bunny kinda terrified my, sense I have a pet bunny
Looks like I am not sleeping tonight… great
I think the reason why martin inclued the obituary is because it gives a reasonable explanation to jack posessing the bon suit. maybe he was stuffed in there by felix after they had a fight?
Bon: CHOMP
jack walten looks simmilar to severus snaper from harry potter
This make the walten files way better then fnaf
duud why does itt say fnaf in the deskripdion???/// dis aynt the funyn fnaf1!!111!😠😠😠😠😡😡😡😡😡🤓😡
SOAPIE-E-E-E-E…
Brian Stells lookes like a mii charecter
So would you rather play one week at flumpty's fanmade extended demo or just wait until the full game comes out on october 31st?
17:20 actually iirc martin walls intended for it to be a full fangame at one point, before scrapping it and using the remains to make the series
this is dope the Walton files made me shit myself the first time i saw it honestly a truly horifying mini show
honestly my favorite part of the walten files is the shadow man feeds me when lights go out because of its many possible implications.
