[@snewy1165]

Honestly if the final pizzaplex book was a cover of a Nightmare animatronic i think it would of genuinely built more hype than just "B7-2 and an out of place foot"

[@snewy1165]

@@Cubeytheawesome Thats fair, I'm just saying that if the cover was of a Nightmare it might of generated hype with the wider fandom.

[@velky_reeds]

as a graphic designer, the inconsistencies with all the elements and png used for the encyclopedia is so triggering 😂

[@krackkokichi]

love how most of the covers with book-original characters don't even match the descriptions of said characters. like ralpho and the puppet carver puppets, or how the gumdrop angel doesn't have a gumdrop nose, which was important to the plot, or how nexie's braids are said to stick out like spider legs, etc. i never even considered alternate cover stories and now im upset cause nearly every book with original characters as the cover has a superior option

[@aggrim1]

Or stuff like Eleanor's design in official artwork being COMPLETELY different than how she's described in the books...

[@DToTheB]

That's my biggest pet peeve with the art for FNAF books, they're never accurate to the description they get in the book

[@loodgack]

regardless of who made them, this is a communication issue. illustrators usually receive a description of what they need to draw and more than often the book itself is wip when the art is already done. i have not one book with illustrations that aren't even scenes in the book.

[@mr.passionfruit1958]

Not a cover, but how about the incorrect description of Ballora in “Room for One More”. That makes me really annoyed lol.

[@soomi5667]

Tbh book covers can range a lot from weird looking or even bad, to really GOOD looking ones. It’s so odd lol. It’s probs a quality control thing. I mean look at the cover for the encyclopedia haha.

[@BoopidKadoopid]

I’m gonna defend the Fazbear’s frights and PizzaPlex covers a bit. The reason why people got excited for these books because we were all curious to know who these characters were. What made them interesting and intriguing was that we haven’t seen them before, and it works if both preexisting and new characters showed up in different covers which they did. Of course we would still want new stuff in every new fnaf game, some preexisting assets can work like HW2, but it’s good to also add things we haven’t seen before, or else it’s just underwhelming. The movie did this smart. They knew we were gonna expect this and that, but not like a twist with Vanessa being the daughter of Afton, and that what makes it interesting.

[@Pyraticalpunk]

Hi Avery, I used to work at a bookstore specifically in the section these books were sold. I can confirm gumdrop angel was the ugliest and people were constantly confused if it was part of the series. I can also confirm that at least 2 copies of Into the Pit were sold

“ never judge a book by its cover “ GIMMIE THE BOOK WITH FREDDY FAZBEAR ON IT

[@jxbermudez]

I have been in this fandom for years. And I have never understood why nightmare was on the cover of twisted ones. Like on one hand I get it there probably was no Scott render for twisted Freddy, but why nightmare? He doesn't even vaguely appear in the book. Like you said nightmare freddy would have been actually better Especially since it could kind of be a twist like oh, you expected the nightmares, but here's They're evolution the twisted ones.

[@MeemahSN]

I assumed it was to imply that the Twisted animatronics are parallels to the Nightmares. But you're right, Nightmare Freddy should have been featured instead.

[@commentor847]

Fun Fact: In Volume 7 of Fazbear Frights, the cover story was going to be The Breaking Wheel, but it was scrapped and replaced with The Cliffs for being too scary. You should look it up, it’s really cool!

[@aggrim1]

I hate that so much.

[@commentor847]

@@aggrim1 If the Fazbear Frights books had the same 12+ ratings as Tales From the Pizzaplex, maybe that cover would have been approved.

[@MeemahSN]

FFF, they turned Springtrap into a symbol of pregnancy, why the hell are they sidelining actual horror? If they want to cater to young children, maybe they shouldn't have a character give birth to an in-universe video game mascot.

[@capybara455]

Scott said that the reason why nightmare is on the cover is because scott didnt want to model twisted freddy just for a cover

[@thecreatorofpc7929]

Twisted Freddy does look like an absolute pain to model. So, fair.

[@MeemahSN]

@@thecreatorofpc7929 Maybe that's why there are so few fan models.

[@JAAZ-e4k]

I just love in the books instead of putting new characters that are memorable they just put characters that have to do with NOTHING in the FNAF series

[@KatEntertainment]

I feel like the only reason the less known characters were picked for the cover is to show us what they look like. I think that's the only reason.

[@PoopetPlushProductions]

I think i might now know why nightmares on the cover. Matpat made a theory recently about nightmare being a glitching hallucination disc, his jumpscare glitching, you can see through him, etc. idk about nightmarionne but yeah. I thought it was fine but then i found this video and thought about why nightmare is on the cover If the theory is true, than scott was trying to tell us all along with the cover since the books about hallucination discs.

[@loganentertainment1814]

Honestly, your not wrong. There are some book covers that could be better, and there are some that are bland, but I do like them regardless. But I will admit they could be better.

[@MayoFan1985]

I always thought the FNAF silver eyes and The Fourth Closet cover looked silly. Because of the Millions of memes with the classic “Red angry shining eyes”.

[@peterpumkineater69346]

My guess about why Nightmare was on the front cover of TTO was because Scott probably didn't have enough time to make a Twisted Freddy model, but that's just my guess

[@traeroney4996]

Since you're super curious about it, well I think Gumdrop Angel is my favourite story and book cover in my opinion! Since I already heard your take on it and the story overall, these books were only made to tie in hints towards the lore. Even in weird or off putting ones the slightest part in a story can give off a little chunk of what happens in the games. Plus these books kinda give a take on the Goosebumps series, but with Fnaf! Also Bobbiedots part 2/The Bobbiedots Conclusion is my favourite from the TFTP! Just note that these books are not meant to be taken seriously and are just all in good fun, despite how chaotic they can get!

[@joobahob]

I also think it’s pretty darn cool, but I can also see how it might not “fit in” lol

im glad someone made a video about this cause younger me was always confused with alot of these like the twisted ones. and even to now when ever i see some of these newer books i just dont know what im seeing. this is such a fun topic and i love seing people talk about it.

[@Mr.Foxtroting2008]

As a person who genuinely doesn't like the Fnaf Books. I can confirm the covers do S U C K. Random question. But if you have seen "Don't Hug me I'm scared" what are your thoughts on it?

[@soomi5667]

As someone who likes the books, they’re definitely not the best lol.

[@driedcranberry7041]

The reason of nightmare being on the twisted ones cover could be because Scott is linking the "black round chips with a blinking red light on it inscribed with Afton robotics that make the animatronics change shape when it's activated" to FNAF 4, those animatronics exist because of the allusion disks.

[@raelogan]

I am still salty about how the Fazbear Frights Graphic Novel Volume 1 completely dropped the ball for Plushtrap Chaser on the cover

[@RandomCatLover]

Thank you for addressing this! I've always been baffled by the book covers ever since Fazbear Frights went off the rails. I share the same feelings as you for every cover. Although I do really like Tiger Rock's cover. I'm so glad I got the original Silver Eyes book before they changed the cover. I'm a big reader in general so I was so excited when Scott posted that original cover on his website back in 2015. I still have that first teaser saved when it was just titled "The Untold Story" before the other animatronics were added in the background. I don't understand why the books became so disjointed and disorganized. They started out consistent, but then the second story in a book would be the cover/title for some reason. Or the summary on the back would have the stories out of order. All of the books feel pretty rushed, and I always question just how involved Scott is in the stories themselves (specifically some of the Fazbear Frights that have next to nothing to do with FNAF). Does he just give his co-writers some general plot points and they do the rest? Or does he actually sit down and write some of them entirely without anyone else's input? A lot of the stories that barely have any FNAF-esque stuff in them make me feel like I'm wasting my time. I'm buying these books for a FNAF reading experience, yet 80% of them are so disconnected from what I want that they just read like boring short stories that all end the same way. Honestly, how many main characters actually live? But I'm sorry, we're talking about the covers. Fun fact: The Cliffs was originally going to be titled The Breaking Wheel. There was a concept cover and everything, but I guess it was too horrifying? Even though the story is far more traumatizing to read than the art is to look at.

[@ri13h44]

the reason nightmare was on the twisted ones cover was because scott was hinting that the twisted ones had something to do with fnaf 4, which was right because it showed us that the nightmares used illusion disks

[@altier1014]

the springbonnie fazbear frights cover is still the best cover out of them all.

[@ExplosionMare]

One thing I noticed about some of the books is that the cover story wasn't ACTUALLY the cover story! It would be the second story so it wouldn't make any sense to have it pictured on the cover. I also don't get why the Bobbiedots Conclusion was the last chapter in its book and not the first, since you'd think people reading the first book would want to pick up right where they left off in the second book. I guess the writers figured we wouldn't read the other chapters if they weren't first.

This is good time to talk about how bad the graphic novels are. The art-styles used (at least in collections and the silver eyes graphic novels) are so ugly and do not fit fnaf at. Fnaf should not have a blank generic art-style. The only good looking one is the plushtrap chaser comic, although it can look weird at times, it’s art-style is what all fnaf comic should try to be, Unnerving

[@holliethestrange5249]
