Book Analysis: Five Nights at Freddy’s
“Five Nights at Freddy's” is really popular, and anyone who has heard of the game is increasingly interested in books on the topic. Right now there are two books on the game, The Twisted Ones and The Silver Eyes, with a third in progress, The Fourth Closet. Although they are both pretty scary, The Twisted Ones is scarier than The Silver Eyes. The villains are scarier because they're twisted. The events are scarier because they're more death-related. And the characters are risking more because they’re on their own.
The first reason that the villains are scarier in The Twisted Ones is that they're twisted, which means that they're hideously deformed. When the teenagers explore Freddy's in The Silver Eyes, they are welcomed by “three animatronic animals: a bear, a rabbit, and a chicken, all standing as tall as adults, maybe taller.” (TSE p. 56) The animatronics are scary, but they aren't twisted. On the other hand, in The Twisted Ones, the animatronic monsters are flippin' creepy, with "silver hair" and "a tattered metal framework partly coated in translucent skin.” (TTO p. 169) That's some twisted stuff!
The second reason that The Twisted Ones is more frightening than The Silver Eyes is that the events are scarier because they’re more death-related. In The Twisted Ones, Charlie attempts to sacrifice herself to the twisted animatronics. (TTO p.1988) Though she does not die, she lets the animatronics take her. But when she is about to die, she changes her mind. She is so close to death 💀, and has to escape from inside a animatronic. On the other hand, in The Silver Eyes the teenagers just explore Freddy Fazbears Pizza. (TSE p. 36) They are only dropping in for a visit, and the lone danger that they face is getting a cut if they run into something sharp.
The final reason that The Twisted Ones is scarier than The Silver Eyes is that the characters are risking more. In The Twisted Ones, the teenagers and the police try to get out of the new Freddy's pizza shop alive. They are trapped in there with twisted animatronics that want to kill them. Moreover, the kids have no idea how to escape, and there is no hope of rescue. (TTO p.274) In The Silver Eyes, however, the main characters have known their way around Freddy's pizza shop since they were six years old, so it is easy for them to find a spot to hide from the animatronics. In addition, the teenagers are likely to be rescued. Carlton, the son of the Chief of Police and one of the main characters, is kidnapped at Freddy's early in the book. (TSE p.234) His friends escape and tell Carlton's dad about his son's kidnapping before heading back to rescue Carlton. (TSE p.340) Soon after that, Carlton's dad and other police officers end up breaking into Freddy’s to save the teenagers. (TSE p. 449)
To sum it all up, The Twisted Ones is da creep bomb compared to The Silver Eyes. The villains are scarier because they’re twisted, the events are scarier because they involve death, and the characters are risking more because they are on their own. Kids will have nightmares for months if they read The Twisted Ones. This is why parents should give out this book for Halloween 👻.
