Summary:
One last laugh for the summer as it winds down. One last prank just to scare a friend. Bringing a mannequin into a theater is just some harmless fun, right? Until it wakes up. Until it starts killing.
Luckily, Sawyer has a plan. He'll be a hero. He'll save everyone to the best of his ability. He'll kill as many people as he needs to so he can save the day. That's the thing about heroes - sometimes you have to become a monster first.
My Thoughts:
The title is misleading. There is only one mannequin, and that was disappointing. Other than that, the book was a fun short ride.
Sawyer and his friends bring an old friend (Manny) out of the garage to prank their friend who works at a movie theater. But Manny just walks out and leaves, and no one notices except Sawyer. Soon after, one of his friends and her family ends up dead, in an accident. Sawyer doesn't think that it's an accident though. He thinks that Manny is killing them out of revenge for being left alone for all those years in the garage.
(Spoilers) it's not true. Sawyer is imagining this, thinking of the worst. And because of this, he kills all of his remaining friends in an attempt to "save" their families from dying.
I think that the twist at the end was done really well. Normally, I wouldn't like it, but it's done very well here. If you're looking for a short horror read for fun, I would recommend it!
My Rating: 4 stars
