Boozoo, possessed by a man named Charles Brook, is a major antagonist in the analog horror series The Walten Files.
He is the animatronic ringmaster of The Showstoppers, a leader in spirit. Under unknown circumstances, by the hands of Bon, Charles is killed, and is suffering in a way that he cannot communicate. He can't remember his face.
He is voiced by Kyle DeNigris, who also voiced Satan in The Mandela Catalogue.
Appearance[]
The Walten Files[]
Boozoo, in both animatronic and cartoon forms, is a tall, 32 year old Caucasian human male with flowing brunette hair and a similarly colored hook mustache. He has blue eyes, and peach colored blush cheeks that almost stick out of his face. He usually wears red formal wear with white gloves and pants, based on the clothes that circus ringmasters wear. He also wears a black top hat.
In his withered form, he is missing his tophat, and has a few tears in his arms and legs. His left hand is nearly falling off and hanging on by a few wires, being equally as exposed as his right hand. The upper area of his right arm is also completely exposed, with wires hanging out of it. He also sometimes appears with a bloodied face, bloodshot, abnormally large eyeballs, and photorealistic teeth. This is a representation of Charles inside of the animatronic.
In his appearance in BunnyFarm, he is shown to wear a white shirt with blue overalls with his initial on it.
Boozoo's Ghosts[]
Ebenezer Boozoo is visibly older than the Boozoo shown in BunnyFarm, with greying hair and more creases and wrinkles in his face. He looks visibly more angry, with most of his appearances within the special showing him frowning or angrily/desperately yelling. His peach cheeks are also replaced with smaller pink ones, which rest rest on cheek creases. He also has a similarly colored, but much bigger nose. He wears a blue tuxedo with a spring bow tie during his business hours, and changes into brownish-orange Scrooge-esque nightwear, with an equally orange sleeping cap at night.
Personality[]
The Walten Files[]
The animatronic of Boozoo has little personality, until possessed by Charles. He has a sort of remembrance of Sophie, but how he relates to her is vague. All that can be said is that he can remember her, and is in a way, innocently trying to show her what happened in the best way the corpse of a person who violently died can. In the end, though, he is still selfishly leading her to the hands of Bon in the process.
In his fictional appearances, little is known about his personality, except that he likes to put on good performances. Martin Walls later went on to draw a small info sheet for Boozoo, which confirms his age, and his love for showmanship. He is also said to make terrible jokes, and has a "sweet grandparent" personality archetype.
Boozoo's Ghosts[]
Ebenezer Boozoo is shown to be a very selfish and greedy man from his very first appearance. When his employee, Banny, makes a small mistake and breaks one of his items, he immediately cuts it out of her already low paycheck. He then goes on to steal from a child attempting to help the poor, and egotistically boasts a "my house, my rules" mentality, seemingly starved for power and/or attention at a young age. This is later proven by The Sad Ghost of Past Experiences, making Boozoo confront that reality. The Sad Ghost, and The Jolly Ghost of Present Times also try to make Boozoo come to terms with the reality of his actions and the responsibility he needs to take for it. He denies both of these things, with an entitled attitude that he owes nothing to the world, because he's Ebenezer Boozoo. He only says "he didn't mean for this" when the consequences of his actions involve death, as he will not let his conscience hold on to the responsibility of taking a life. When he is confronted by the ultimate truth, Mortality, Boozoo can only beg for his life and apologize then, when it is beyond too late. He pays the ultimate price for his ignorance.
Powers and Abilities[]
Boozoo has always been shown to be able to very vividly depict his state of being through video games, and what he used to be, as well as directly talk to Sophie, although it is garbled, mostly.
Biography[]
The Walten Files[]
1958[]
Boozoo, along with the other Showstoppers, starts as the brainchild of two college students, their names being Jack Walten and Felix Kranken. They decided, as lifelong friends, to dedicate their time and energy to the project for sixteen years. This leads to the opening of their own restaurant, Bon's Burgers. With the help of Cyberfun Tech and Susan Woodings, they engineer the endoskeletons for the animatronics for their restaurant.
1974[]
On July 14th, Charles is killed in a non-specified, violent way by Bon and put into Boozoo. It is implied Charles survived inside of the animatronic for a time before dying from his wounds.
1975[]
All merchandise and animatronics from Bon's Burgers are moved to a storage bunker located in Saint Juana's Forest in Brighton, Michigan, called K-9. This movement of merchandise included Boozoo. They are kept there due to the shutdown of the restaurant after the many incidents that have taken place, of Bunny Smiles Incorporated and Cyberfun Tech's accord.

On October 15th, while Sophie Walten played through BunnyFarm, Charles uses the Boozoo section of the game to tell Sophie who he is, and that he has been murdered by Bon and put inside of Boozoo, while also attempting to talk to her of his own accord. He simply says hi to Sophie, and tells her he's dead.
Boozoo's Ghosts[]
Boozoo appears as the villain protagonist of the non-canon Christmas episode Boozoo’s Ghosts.
After the narrator explains the context of Boozoo's toy shop and Boozoo himself, calling him a selfish old man who hates Christmas, and tells us when the story takes place, Christmas Eve, it pans in on the toy shop, showing Banny cleaning, before promptly knocking over a mug on the shelf with a broom. Ebenezer Boozoo then angrliy stomps in, calling Banny incompetent, before telling her he's going to take the costs of it out of her paycheck, as Banny pleads and protests, asking him how she'll feed her family on Christmas Eve. Boozoo brushes this off, telling her to get back to work. Mortality watches from the window.
It then shows Boozoo getting a ring on the doorbell late at night, and when he opens the door, it's revealed to be an adolescent child asking him to raise money for the poor on Christmas. Boozoo then proceeds to steal the charity money from the cup, the kid exclaiming he shouldn't do that. He then explains to the child he can do whatever he wants at his store, and won't give a cent to anyone on Christmas.
Boozoo then wakes up in the middle of the night to find presents in his tree after being lead on by a music box that awoke him, and opens one of the gifts to find a clown toy in it, before being presented the first door he needs to enter. He hears a baby crying from the other side, and decides to go in. The crying continues until he sees a very large Christmas present, which them ushers him to come closer. Boozoo does this, and the lid of the present comes off, revealing the ghost. Boozoo asks who he is, and the ghost answers, while crying, that he's the Sad Ghost of Past Experiences. He then tells Boozoo that he is going to show him the past. Boozoo questions why this needs to happen, and the already big frown on his face grows larger. He tells Boozoo he has been a bad person, stealing and lying to people, but Boozoo denies this. The ghost tells Boozoo not to lie to him. The ghost then proceeds to a sing a song to him about not lying to himself, or the ghost, and to accept that he's done bad things in his life. After this song, Boozoo attempts to interject, before the ghost continues, explaining that Boozoo as a child was never given presents, and never celebrated Christmas, implying his family was neglectful or mediocre to him. Boozoo asks how he knows this, before the ghost continues to say that the past can lead to future actions, and how Boozoo has time to fix his mistakes. Boozoo denies that he has to fix anything, and denies that he's lying about it, arguing with the ghost. This quickly angers him, before he starts shouting at Boozoo violently, telling him he's going to burn in hell, before he ejects him out of his dream within a dream.
Boozoo then wakes up in his room from this ejection, to find his door slowly changing into the second door he needs to enter. When he walks in, he finds a dark room with random toys scattered about. Most are dolls of children, with some being clowns, music boxes, or horses. Boozoo eventually sees a doll version of himself, picked up by a creature that introduces herself as the Jolly Ghost of Present Times. Boozoo asks if he's going to be shown the present, and she says yes. He then asks what he will be shown, and she responds with the consequences of your actions. When Boozoo asks what this means, she then proceeds to tell him that she is his manifestation of his greed. He then asks what, specifically, she wants to show him. She ushers him to a purple toy television, showing him images of his employee, Banny, and her family starving because of his greed. She laughs at Boozoo's pleads to ignorance, before telling him a childhood lesson. Greed does not only affect yourself, but it affects everyone. Boozoo says he didn't want that to happen, and she brushes aside this plea, saying that the effects of his actions have already taken hold. A beautiful cycle of self destruction, as she calls it.
Boozoo then notices two boxes below her feet, and asks what they are. Two dolls appear from them. The first is named Ignorance, and the second is named Want. She warns him of these two things, before Boozoo asks if they're okay, with the ghost only telling him they're dying by his hand. It is a reflection of the starvation and financial ruin that Boozoo had afflicted on Banny and her family, and they both die in front of him, violently. Boozoo pleads to the ghost to save them, and she only says that his actions are out of her control. She then fizzles out of existence.
Boozoo is then thrown into a floral patterned hallway where a tall rabbit humanoid stands. He walks around the hallway and finds a small wind up toy, a white bunny rabbit with vibrantly colored limbs, with brown gloves and shoes appears. He picks it up and observes it, before Mortality's floating head appears behind Boozoo, greeting him and startling him as he turns around. He greets himself, before Boozoo immediately realizes the situation he is in, begging to not die. Mortality explains that it's far too late, and trying to run away from something this inevitable is pointless, and a waste of time he has so little of. He then leads Boozoo to the third and final door, Mortality's door. Boozoo enters the door as Mortality disappears from behind him, a blinding white light leading him back to his old toy shop he had, with every seemingly returning to normal, he greets his employee, Banny, once again. She speaks back to him, but the facade is quickly broken, as she melts into a fleshy mush before becoming a black silhouette. He tries to go the front door for someone, but they too are a black silhouette, handing him a flyer for Boozoo's own funeral. The shop then begins to be consumed by a black substance, with Boozoo cowering in fear.
The shop completely disintegrates into a black void, before Mortality appears once again, now in a much more imposing and realistic form. He tells Boozoo his ignorance led him to this point, before he summons Boozoo as a child into existence, as Boozoo pleads for him to escape. Mortality leads the kid Boozoo into his arms, and he dies and rots right in front of Boozoo's eyes. Mortality laughs at Boozoo's struggle, as the other two ghosts watch, silently. They are here for his demise, and Mortality gives a swift death to Boozoo, handing him an alarm clock, which begins ringing, signifying his time to wake up from his nightmare. Boozoo then begins to die and rot, screaming as it happens. He then finally becomes a black silhouette, his fate being sealed.
It then shows and censors Boozoo's mangled corpse the morning of Christmas day, as the narrator explains that your fate will be similar if you act like that during Christmas.
