To avoid being arrested, he and his team performed a Satanic suicide ritual to transfer their souls into the animatronics, possessing them and actively killing and devouring everyone in their sight and is the Janitor's arch-nemesis.

Biography[]
Origins[]
Jerry Robert Willis's past is very much unknown although he is stated to have had a father who died at some point but in his words, he was a "wretched soul" which could indicate his psychopathic tendencies came from his evil father.
As an adult, he was a serial killer who often posed as a photographer to kill unsuspecting families. He was convicted of killing at least four families before he was arrested and tried for his crimes. While in court the prosecutor angrily pointed at him. Jerry responded by biting off his finger stating “it’s rude to point”. The appalled judge then sentenced him to time in an insane Asylum for rehabilitation in order to properly stand trial for his actions. While at the asylum a doctor attempted to reach out to him and have him talk about his past but instead of talking, he proceeded to slam his head on the desk which forced him to be put into isolation in the "Super Happy Fun Room" where he met a female patient named Sara crying. Sara told Jerry that he wouldn't want to be friends with her calling herself a monster. However, Jerry insisted that it didn't matter as they were "all monsters inside". Although Sara responded it didn't matter as they were going to spend the rest of their lives in the asylum, Jerry confidentially stated "Never say never honey drop".
After spending time at the asylum, he met six other serial killers like him and formed a friendship pact with them dubbing themselves the “Crazy Eight”. They all escaped the hospital and embarked on their new mission to murder as many people as possible and cause chaos.
In 1996 Jerry and his friends founded Willy’s Wonderland and his team of serial killers lured families into the Super Happy Fun Room, where they were killed. One time, Jerry put on the Willy costume and stalked behind a birthday boy with his family before proceeding to kill the child. When the boy was killed, Jerry kidnapped the boy's sister and murdered her as well, causing the parents to panic. It's presumed that they were also killed in order to leave no witnesses. After numerous missing person reports, the authorities arrived to arrest Jerry and his friends. They eventually found the killers dead in the Super Happy Fun Room. It turns out that they made a deal with the Devil and killed themselves in a Satanic ritual to prevent themselves from being captured. After that, Jerry's soul was transferred into Willy Weasel, while his crew went into the other animatronics.
Ten years later in 2006, Willy's Wonderland was reopened by the new owner, Tex Macadoo, to keep the people unaware of this horrific past. However, due to Willy and the other animatronics being possessed, they began to attack, scare, and even kill children, as seen when Willy attacks and eats a portion of a boy's shoulder off of his body. After children were found either dead, traumatized, or seriously injured, Willy's had to be permanently shut down once again.
Tex tried to have the place torn down, but Willy killed the contractor and his family, and no one took the job of tearing it down, so they decided to leave it as is, locking it up and letting the place rot. Unfortunately, it didn't stop Willy from killing other residents in their own homes and in other places (an ice cream shop, a hardware store, and even a school, to name a few) so the town reluctantly had no other choice but to find people and trap them to be killed in exchange for leaving Hayesville alone.
Willy's Wonderland[]
In the present, the Janitor (played by Nicholas Cage) is hired to clean Willy's Wonderland under the story doing so would get him his car back, unaware he was there to be killed by the animatronics.
Later at midnight, Willy remains on the stage throughout most of the film while his gang moves out to kill the Janitor and Liv's friends. After the Janitor killed Ozzie and Gus, Willy's eyes narrow as the Janitor makes eye contact. Eventually, Liv and her friends arrived to save the Janitor, but he doesn't listen to them since he only cares about cleaning Willy's and his car. At one point, Willy sings a song called "Six Little Chickens" to distract Liv and her friends. After Willy's done singing, Knighty Knight kills Aaron by impaling him with his sword. When Liv's friends split up into different rooms, Willy sends out all of his remaining crew to target the teenagers instead since the Janitor is too strong and dangerous for them to kill due to his brute strength.
As the night progresses, the Janitor kills all the animatronics inside, save for Siren Sara, (who survived her assault), and Tito (who left Willy's to go kill Liv), leaving Willy the only one left. When the Janitor confronts Eloise Lund, Willy is summoned to kill the Janitor, only to appear behind her and slices her in half as punishment for her failing to bring easier prey than the Janitor, killing her. Willy brutally slashes at the Janitor, who is stunned by the weasel's attack. Willy then throws him into the ball pit. Thinking he's dead, Willy walks away, but it is revealed the Janitor survived and prepares his weapons for the final fight, a bag of soda cans and the broken mop handle tapped into a staff.
Willy confronts the Janitor in the final battle, and the two engage in brutal combat. The Janitor gains the upper hand and eventually defeats Willy by beating him to death with the mop and bag. After Willy falls to the ground, he still twitches, so the Janitor finishes off Willy by ripping his head off in one smooth motion.
With Willy finally dead, Jerry's soul is now sent to hell as punishment for his crimes, and the Janitor avenged the victims Willy and his crew had murdered thus finally put an end to the curse of Willy's Wonderland once and for all.
Before the credits rolled his cartoon self popped out of the screen and told the audience to remember the party never ends at his wonderland and does his logo pose.
Trivia[]
- Willy was the sixth animatronic to become active and get killed by the Janitor in the film.
- In the original script, Willy was named Wally and was purple instead of orange.
- Although the animation and official artwork of Willy shows him having the propeller hat on the left side of his head, the animatronic has the hat on the right side, leaving his left ear exposed.
- Upon close inspection of Willy's head after the Janitor tore it off his body, Willy doesn't have a right ear since it would be impossible to fold it for the propeller hat to be put on.
- In the prequel comic it is revealed that Jerry Willis actually designed the appearance of Willy Weasel and the other animatronics and based them on a drawing he made when he was locked up in the mental asylum and that Jed Love built the animatronics based on his design. It's also revealed that he wrote the birthday song sing-along which he himself thought was "sh**ty".
