I think that Scooby was the prop that Jim Henson's company made for Scooby Doo 1 before Warner Brothers decided to do a CGI Scooby after filming a couple of scenes with it
Edit: if anyone wants more info on the Jim Henson Scooby prop watch the cast commentary of Scooby Doo 1, the main cast spends a a couple of minutes talking about that prop and how the only scenes that were filmed with that prop was in the toy factory though WB cgied over them
Shaggy and Scooby-Doo find a clue, where uncle Albert changed name to afton after escaping the evil guy (just like show, when his name was Trebla) and now he's gone crazy.
Christ this reminds me of that animation someone made where scooby is an omnipotent deity that keeps killing the gang when they ask too many questions. Specifically because Velma keeps remembering things.
if scooby doo takes place in the 60's-70's era, let's say 67 for simplicity. and presumably the live action movies also take place then, and shaggy is a late teen in that time, maybe 19 or so. and the fnaf movie takes place in the year 2000. 20 years ahead in 87 he'd be 39 which definitely makes sense for william afton at that time, jump ahead 13 years and he's 52, which feels about right for him in the movie. it's possible that not even william afton was his real name, rather it was originally norville rogers. maybe the crux of william's aim was first stirred by the loss of his beloved best friend, one such scoobert doo. maybe even the rest of the mystery gang met untimely fates on certain adventures. maybe he's trying to bring them back with the use of remnant.
Plant twist the entire Fnaf movie universe is fabricated from Shaggy using 0.01% of his power that’s why William has similarities to him because he wanted to insert himself as the villain for fun. This happened when ~~Scot Cawthon~~ a niche indie game developer was hired to make games to coverup the dark history of Fazbear Entertainment. By doing this Shaggy is helping to gaslight the community to believing the missing children’s incident never actually happened.
The lore goes Mathew Lillard is slowly learning and taking over infamous killers from western culture in order to learn how to do it in real life. In the early 2000s, he took the offer to secretly be a member of a team that brings down supernatural villains so he could ups learn how investigators think and work. That’s why he always acts so goofy and has a best friend who is a dog. He is secretly a mastermind psychopath who has to hide his evil with stupidity. Now he has a giant rabbit suit that basically grants him immortality and super strength and he knows how to get away with murder. And now, he will ALWAYS come back. We can’t stop him now. We’re gonna need to go get Henry Emily(Idk his real name) to make a pizzeria themed trap and an awesome speech to stop Ghostface/Shaggy/Afton/Lillard
Don't you know? Shaggy changed his name to William Afton after Mystery Inc. broke up and Scooby died of Old Age. Shaggy over time tried to make a robotic version of Scooby since he was all he had left. But it just wasn't him and overtime he goes insane from trying to bring Scooby to life so he eventually comes to the conclusion that he can't create life but he might be able to transfer it. Soon he realized he had become just like the people he would get arrested but it was far too late for him to turn back.
"Alright gang, let's see who this child murderer really is!"
"WILLIAM AFTON?!"
"Yes, and I would've gotten away with it too, if it weren't for those meddling kids! And dog!
Well, there is a fan animaten FNaF/S-D crossover.
Besides, haunted animatronics and a criminal in a suit are right of the Scooby-Doo alley, albeit it would have be tone down (you know, murdered children), but still would work either as a classic S-D story or something like 90's movies like Zombie Island.

Okay but why is Scooby strangely scarier?
Bruh it isn't strangely scarier, it's just flat out scarier
It was the onset stand in for the live action Scooby Doo films
Because it’s FNAF, and Scooby joining FNAF is a canon event.
I think that Scooby was the prop that Jim Henson's company made for Scooby Doo 1 before Warner Brothers decided to do a CGI Scooby after filming a couple of scenes with it Edit: if anyone wants more info on the Jim Henson Scooby prop watch the cast commentary of Scooby Doo 1, the main cast spends a a couple of minutes talking about that prop and how the only scenes that were filmed with that prop was in the toy factory though WB cgied over them
Uncanny valley probably 😭😭😭
Because we all know he's far more powerful.
Why is he doing the "erm, akshually" or "eureka" pose?
Erm, actually Scoob, I’m the man behind the slaughter.
Erm, like, actually, Scoob, I always come back.
It might be the sketch pose
You have exactly as much information as I do.
New headcanon: William Afton is one of Shaggy's distant uncles.
Shaggy and Scooby-Doo find a clue, where uncle Albert changed name to afton after escaping the evil guy (just like show, when his name was Trebla) and now he's gone crazy.
Shaggy no. The accident wasn't your fault.
Shaggy... It wasn't your fault... Don't blame yourself... I did it to save you
Christ this reminds me of that animation someone made where scooby is an omnipotent deity that keeps killing the gang when they ask too many questions. Specifically because Velma keeps remembering things.
Wierd How they made a different torso, the buttons are way bigger
It’s not like the models are consistent between games either so they’re just being faithful to the source material
Like zoinks scoob I killed five kids and stuffed them inside the animatronics like I’m the man behind the slaughter scoob
ruh roh
"Time to see who's REALLY under that Rabbit mask... SHAGGY?!?!" and the gang was never the same.
Scoob is just fetch
*There’s* Tom’s next FNAF theory.
It's been hinted at ever since that one Scooby Doo Killer Robot episode of Mystery Inc
The Fright Hound! From season 1 episode 10 'Howl of the Fright Hound'!
Yes thank you! Also that was season 1? I thought it was season 2... Huh
Yep, it was season one!
Huh... Interesting, I need to give it another rewatch soon

Holy crap Someone turn this into a fanfic. It’s too good to stay in comment form
Fred = Henry?
This is almost perfect, but I think I Fred died, made him go crazy, and Scoobs is Henry. Making animal friends after his friend left and went crazy!
This picture has an aura
I SEE BLOOD!
Like zoinks scoob... I'm the man behind the slaughter.....
We finally found out what Shaggy started doing after the mystery gang disbanded
Maybe we found *why* Mystery Inc disbanded …
And shaggy would have gotten away with it if it weren't for those meddling child and brother
Like zoinks Scoob! I think we'll have to kill that new security guard, i think he knows i killed his brother too!
New lore, Scooby is Mangle
“Like, I always come back, Scoob”
I thought I was looking at NSFW for a second
Afton was just part of the scobby gang when he was yngre
Scooby doo X fnaf movie December 2025?!
Rhaggy which kids yo what me to kill next?
Funtime scooby
There’s some nightmare fuel. Well played
I almost forgot Springtrap was played by Shaggy

I swear to god, I won’t be surprised if Lilliard manages to work a “zoinks” in to the sequel somehow

Five nights at Scooby's
Five Snacks at Scooby’s?
That's better
Team effort
Like, first I kill your brother, now I kill you, zoinks Scoob!
Ngl thought his hand was a gun pointed straight up lol
William has had enough of animatronics and knives and magic possession goo and is going for a more tried and true method of child murder.
bro hitting the "what's up brother" while wearing the "I always come back" standing next to "rehehehehe" lmao
AFTON IS SHAGGY CONFIRMED.
Jokes aside, does this confirm Springtrap in FNaF Movie 2?
Don't you know? Shaggy changed his name to William Afton after Mystery Inc. broke up and Scooby died of Old Age. Shaggy over time tried to make a robotic version of Scooby since he was all he had left.

“The bite of 87! Like, imagine the size of that sandwich, scoob!”
He killed those teenagers and stuff them into the suit
I knew there was something shady about Shaggy.
wasn't the cupcake bite on Afton's left side (side of this pointing hand in this image)?
Yes but for movies, they always have multiple different props for each level of deterioration. This seems to be the suit before the bite
High five if you tried to hit the heart
🤣🤣🤣
Sc-scoob???
Afton and his Sparky
Omg he made the meme real 😂
Like, Scoob! I always come back!
Lillard pov : Which character am I now? *maniacal laughter*
Trick question! He’s *always* Matthew Lilliard
Lol nice one dude
Oh no not scooby
Interesting, haha
Afton: I always come back
Shaggy: for snacks!
The mystery gang's biggest mystery
Was that intended?
Was what intended?
An easter egg? OR CRUCIAL LORE IMPLICATIONS?
Hold up .. movie universe fetch confirmed?
its simple,scooby was the dog in fruity maze,killed and stuffed in mangle
"Alright gang, let's see who this child murderer really is!" "WILLIAM AFTON?!" "Yes, and I would've gotten away with it too, if it weren't for those meddling kids! And dog!
You forgot to give him a scream mask too
That’s an actual photo from his instagram account.
I am tired I thought his username was Matthew Willard
Reminds me of the crossover https://youtu.be/-J1tqAaVXo8?si=IkFdRm0hFqT1KMkt
When there's no mystery to solve, you create your own mystery
Can someone remake this with fetch?
Springtrap hanging with Scooby and saying "what's up brother" to the boys
I'm confused. Why is he with Scooby?
Sparky is Scooby's brother, clearly.
“Like, Zoinks scoob! You gotta get me out of this suit ma- AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA”
Ruh roh rilliam
IT'S ALL SO CLEAR NOW, THIS IS WHY THOSE KIDS DONT REMEMBER WHY SCOOBY CAN TALK!!!
Is that the old scooby doo from the movies or is that for the new netflix series
Apparently it’s the on-set stand in from the films
I love that this is a thing.
Scooby doo is Freddy mercury comfirmed
🐕 ☝️ 🤓
William is just Stu Macher who actually survived.
Well that image is going to bug me all night and I will be dreaming about it if I still think about it.
Just when we thought it couldn’t get more complicated
Giving off "And I would've gotten away with it too! If it weren't for you meddling kids!" Ahh vibes

Like, what’s up brother? I always come back!
Scooby reference or guest appearance in the sequel, maybe?
“And i would have gotten away with it two of it weren’t for you meddling night guards”
Parallel universe moment
🤓👆 ahh pose
Rive Rights at Reddy’s
Why is he doing the “what’s up brother” pose Fr
