This episode is a bit different than our usual haunted discussions. In today’s discussion, we share an assignment from a postgraduate Thanatology class where we asked to watch a movie and then analyze how the film supported and did not support grief awareness and processes. We continue to discuss how we honor continuing bonds with the deceased as well as grief experiences adjusting to life without our loved ones. In addition, we touch on life after death.

We explore the impacts of assimilation, immigration, the loss of family tradition and the grief that comes with that. We go big discussing human morality, how we treat each other, sacrifice, and atone. We explore family dynamics through the lens of the movie.

So, who would win in a Celebrity Death Match between Chuck E Cheese and Freddy Fazbear?

Are you ready to dive into the world of animatronics and Five Nights at Freddy's (FNAF)? Welcome to the first movie that Anna and Margaret felt differently about it.

FNAF sheds light on ambiguous loss is the loss we experience when we don’t have closure due to someone being missing and present, either physically or mentally. FNAF explored the aspects of ambiguous loss. 

We try to answer, how do we experience closure in death, especially when we don’t have a body? As viewers, how do we experience closure when we don’t know what happened to the children or why they were targeted? 

Trigger warnings- Kidnapping, childhood trauma, implied child violence, family drama

**My apologies for calling SpringTrap SpringBonnie my brain was just so excited to discuss and got a bit confused in sharing the lore with Anna (and sadly, I did it twice). I am sorry if I got any names, theories or aspects wrong. FNAF lore is complex, one reason I love it! Hopefully if you listen, you can hear that I am a FNAF fan and was doing my best. **
