I started playing Five Nights at Freddy’s after the game had gone viral on YouTube–and my first FNAF game was the second one. I have since enjoyed the countless horrors, jumpscares, and franchise lore. With FNAF’s surging popularity and an FNAF movie in production from Blumhouse Productions, it’s no surprise that the franchise has near-infinite […]

I have encountered many bizarre animatronics in the Five Nights at Freddy’s video games. There’s Ennard, Egg Baby, and even DJ Music Man. However, Mediocre Melodies take the cake in weirdness. So, what are FNAF Mediocre Melodies? Mediocre Melodies is an animatronic band inspired by Freddy and his band The animatronics first appear in Freddy

Bonnie is a major character in Five Nights at Freddy’s, with appearances in multiple games. However, he doesn’t appear in the FNAF: Security Breach horror game.

Either way, Scott Cawthon should be proud of his insane creations. However, while animatronics like Freddy and his counterparts get all the attention, some barely receive

In the years I’ve known and played Five Nights at Freddy’s, one thing has never stopped amazing me: the sheer creativity of the animatronics. From the mysterious Golden Freddy to the hulking DJ Music Man, you have to accept that the animatronics are the main attractions of each FNAF game. Unfortunately, however, some animatronics don’t

It’s interesting how characters called Freddy often become the most iconic horror characters. We have A Nightmare on Elm Street’s Freddy Kruger, Scooby Doo’s Fred Jones, and the latest entry: Five Nights at Freddy’s Freddy Fazbear. So, when I first heard of FNAF, I wasn’t surprised to learn that a game with my namesake character (yes, I’m also a Fred) was
