Is there a bite of 82?

Answered by Randy McIntyre

There has been a lot of speculation and debate among fans of the Five Nights at Freddy’s franchise about the existence of a so-called “Bite of ’82.” However, it is important to note that there is no official proof within the game that creator Scott Cawthon confirmed the occurrence of a bite in 1982.

One of the main reasons why the Bite of ’82 theory gained traction is due to the presence of the Bite of ’87, which is explicitly mentioned in the game series. The Bite of ’87 refers to an incident where a character’s frontal lobe is bitten off by one of the animatronics. This event is crucial to the game’s lore and is referenced in multiple games.

However, despite the popularity of the Bite of ’82 theory among fans, there is no direct evidence in any of the games that supports its existence. The only confirmed bite incident in the game series is the Bite of ’87.

It is important to approach fan theories with caution, as they often arise from speculation and interpretation rather than concrete evidence provided by the game’s creator. While theories can be fun to discuss and explore, it is crucial to distinguish between what is officially confirmed in the game’s lore and what is simply speculation or fan interpretation.

Based on the available evidence within the Five Nights at Freddy’s games, there is no official confirmation or proof of a Bite of ’82. This theory has gained popularity among fans, but it is important to separate speculation from officially confirmed information provided by Scott Cawthon.
