This is a trivia sub-page related to the Backstage.
Five Nights at Freddy's[]
- On any night, when Bonnie is in the Backstage room, the player can cause the game to change to the close-up of his face by simply lowering and raising the Monitor. Switching to any other room before doing so will cause the scene to not switch.
An image of the beta map of the Monitor, as seen in the game's files. Note that the Backstage camera is in a different position that in the final game.
- The Backstage camera was originally placed beside/behind the door, as indicated by the beta Monitor pictures.
- Sometimes, if the player views the Backstage, the endoskeleton on the table will be sitting up and staring into the camera with glossy-black eyes, along with the head beside it and the other heads in the room.
- Only three heads will not face the camera, and, if the player looks very closely, Chica's head is also slightly turned to the camera.
- Strangely, Bonnie never tries to stuff the endoskeleton on the table into a mascot costume as the Phone Guy claims he should. It may just be an oversight.
- It might be that the animatronics are programmed to ignore any endoskeletons in the Backstage as the area is not accessible to the public, and there would be no reason to have them concealed in suits. Additionally, the Backstage is full of spare parts, so a bare endoskeleton isn't out of place there. Phone Guy also states that the animatronics have knowledge of every room they are in within the pizzeria, so Bonnie knows not to pay attention to the endoskeleton.
- Replacement heads for each of the animatronics can be seen here, with the exception of Foxy, possibly because he was discontinued, and Golden Freddy, most likely because he is speculated to be a hallucination. Interestingly, none of the spare heads have ears, which could suggest that they are separately attached to the endoskeleton.
- There's a possibility that Bonnie uses the mask on the table when staring in the camera directly since the one sitting on the table has small white dots compared to Bonnie's normal mask. Possible evidence supporting this theory is that Bonnie's head hides the location of the mask on the table and that texture/shape of the eyes looks different.
- Only one animatronic (Bonnie) visits this room. The only other rooms like this are the West Hall Corner, Supply Closet (Bonnie for both), and Pirate Cove (Foxy).
- It is also notable that the endoskeleton is nowhere to be found Backstage on the Game Over screen, implying that it, along with the player, was stuffed into a Freddy suit. If one looks at the arms of the suit, they will see part of an endoskeleton, further supporting this.
- It may have also been taken off the table by the animatronic that killed the player to make room for the Freddy suit.
- It is also possible that the metal parts of the costume are the crossbeams mentioned by Phone Guy inside the costume.
- Interestingly, Freddy's heads from the Backstage look very different compared to the head currently on Freddy with less puffy-looking cheeks and lack of freckles. This could be an early version of Freddy's head during the pizzeria's development.
- An equivalent of the "EMPLOYEES ONLY" sign above the door facing inward - rather than outward - is also found in Five Nights at Freddy's: Security Breach. However, not in the normal gameplay, but only in the developer view.
- The backstage was where you could spot Sparky The Dog, a hidden "sixth animatronic", it later turned out to be a hoax.
Five Nights at Freddy's VR: Help Wanted[]
- It's possible that the backstage may be Parts & Service due to animatronic heads being there. In this game, the Parts & Service animatronics are the same as the animatronics from Five Nights at Freddy's, so it's possible. Since the full extent of the backstage is not shown, it's possible that the full backstage is bigger and only a table with heads are seen.
