Plot
It is 2 years after the events of the first movie. Mike Schmidt had married Cheryl Roberts shortly after the first movie, but recently passed away of a heart attack after having a nightmare about Freddy. Cheryl is now recognized as the only survivor of the previous film left. She soon reads a newspaper article about a new and improved version of the ill-fated restaurant wanting to hire an experienced previous guard to work the night shift and help the new night guards out. She decides to only because she needs a job and is the only night guard from the previous location left.
On her first night, she meets her fellow night guards: police officer Terrence Baker (Matthew Lillard), who is there to investigate the unsafety of the restaurant and get it shut down, stoner friends Eddie Davidson (Texas Battle) and Robert Pearson (Oliver Hudson), pregnant woman Eileen Harris (Kristin Herrera), her lover Elliot Larson (Daryl Sabara), siblings Tod (Jesse Moss) and Nancy Carson (Emma Bell), recent college graduate Krista James (Gina Holden), and teenager Kathleen Clark (Sara Paxton), who Cheryl becomes very close to. Kathleen reveals to her she interviewed for the job because she wanted to learn more about the animatronics after a traumatizing incident a few years earlier where her and her three best friends - Suzy (Peyton List), Dave (Jimmy Bennett), and Franky (Zachary Gordon) went to the old location for Suzy's birthday party, and the animatronics malfunctioned and bit the three to death. The incident caused the old restaurant to close down.
On the first night, Cheryl finds many changes, including no doors, a flashlight, a mask to make the animatronics think you're one of them, a new Phone Guy named Jonathon Mcray (Scott Cawton), the monitors are now Kindles, and new animatronics: as well as the old, aging animatronics she previously had to deal with in the previous film, her and the new guards have to deal with newer versions of the animatronics: Toy Freddy, Toy Bonnie, Toy Chica, and Mangle (Toy Foxy), but Balloon Boy is a friendly ally created by Old Foxy (Jay Baruchel). They also find another new animatronic in the prize aisle in a box called The Marionette (James Spader), who will make his way to your office and kill you if you forget to wind up his music box for a full minute. The owner also calls them saying, Cheryl, you've been demoted to basement. and Cheryl says, What?!. The first night is scary, and a few people have some close calls, until near the end of the night, Toy Chica catches Elliot by surprise and kills him, leaving Eileen devestated.
On night 2, some tension builds as the skills to survive get harder, including avoiding the puppet. Eventually, Tod forgets about the music box due to Foxy trying to get him, and the Marionette jumps out at him and kills him. With two people dead, everyone, especially Nancy and Eileen, tries to quit their job, but like the first restaurant, the owners threaten to sue if they don't do at least five nights, forcing them to stay three more nights.
The third night is especially terrifying when all of the animatronics become active. Nancy eventually gets scared and attempts to escape, but encounters Old Chica and Old Bonnie in the hall and is killed. Cheryl, Krista, and Eddie almost die as well while trying to find her and save her, but Kathleen, Terrence, Eileen, and Robert save them and wound the two animatronics.
On night 4, things get absolutely worse than ever. Several animatronics attack, but the others fight back: Mangle and Toy Bonnie attack Eddie, who survives but is wounded; The two Freddys attack Krista, first Toy Freddy, whom she fights back against and gets out of her office, and then Old Freddy (Kevin Michael Richardson), who attacks her and ends up killing her in the party room; Robert finds Krista's body in the party room later and kills Old Freddy but is attacked and ripped apart by Toy Bonnie and Toy Freddy; and Eileen is almost killed by Old Bonnie, but Old Foxy saves her and her unborn child by killing him after saying, Good night asshole, say hello to Freddy in hell.
On night 5, only five remain. The Phone Guy says, Hello, Hello? What the hell are you guys doing there, didn't you get the news? The place is shut down because a criminal broke in and pissed off the animatronics and now they are going crazy. Listen, I don't have much time, i'm sorry but i'm getting out of here without you. Good night. After the message ends, a sneaky Eileen manages to successfully escape and get to the police station, leaving the other four alone. Eventually, Cheryl looks on the camera and sees Balloon Boy in Eddie's office, and then sees Mangle heading towards his office. She goes to save him and Balloon Boy, but Mangle have already killed them and kidnaps Cheryl. A terrified Kathleen then finds out via the cameras that Old Chica is heading towards Terrence's office. She goes to his office but Old Chica makes it there and kidnaps Terrance. Kathleen arrives there but is grabbed and kidnapped by Toy Freddy.
Kathleen wakes up in the backstage to find Terrence and Cheryl tied up and all the animatronics, led by The Puppet, about to stuff Kathleen into a Freddy suit. They untie Kathleen and Cheryl and prepares to kill them. Just before they do, Cheryl punches The Puppet in the face, giving her and the other two the opportunity to grab weapons and fight back. in the ensuing battle, Cheryl is fatally wounded by Mangle, but manages to kill him before she dies of her injuries. Eileen and the police then arrive and shoot the rest of the animatronics dead. However, Puppet survives and attempts to kill Kathleen but is blown up with grenade by Terrence: Kathleen, Terrence, and Eileen are safe now, and Kathleen kisses Terrence for saving her life. The two start dating soon after. The movie ends with a newspaper article revealing that Johnathon (Revealed to be Jay from the first film) was a traitor, he forced a new guard to work there, and is now on the run from the cops. They are still searching for him because the owner was found dead in his limo. Cause of death: Animatronics ate him to death. Mike and Cheryl are reunited in heaven. Kathleen says, His name was Jay?.
