It does not matter how old I get because this was probably my favorite and the creepiest Goosebump series I have read in my elementary years. The idea of a DUMMY that talks and stalks totally wacked my brain out! Totally wicked! :pThe story is about Kris and her twin sister Lindy Powell who both love to play with dolls and dummies (just like a typical princess-brat girls). One day Lindy, found a dummy (she named it Slappy) for her to play with. The twin sisters started to fight over the dummy so...

#7 "He walks. He stalks..."Kris and Lindy are twin sisters. But when Lindy finds a ventriloquist dummy and names it Slappy, she starts getting all the attention. It's when Kris gets her own dummy to show up her sister that things get weird. Dummies aren't real... are they?Creepy as hell and reminiscent of Child's Play. I loved it!!!

This is my all time favorite Goosebumps book. Slappy is just so freaky man. 0__0 Still as awesome as I remember it.

Lindy and Kris are twins. They are 12, with blonde hair and blue eyes. Lindy wears her hair long, and Kris short.They hate each other.They fight all the time, try to copy each other, make fun of each other, and pull pranks on each other. One day, Lindy finds a ventriloquist dummy in a dumpster. She names it Slappy. She decides she has a gift for ventriloquism and starts practicing with Slappy every day. At first, Kris makes fun of her for being a dork. But after a few weeks, Lindy and Slappy sta...

This book by Stine was always my favorite. There was something so creepy and sinister about a ventriloquist doll coming to life... Ughh. It's one of my daughter's top favorites from him as well! R.L. Stine never really disappoints.

I just had to read a Goosebumps book this Halloween season for old times sake!These books scared the heck out of me when I was in elementary school and turned me into the thriller/horror lover I am today. The names in this book cracked me up! At first I was like ‘Come on, R.L. Stine, you couldn’t come up with better names than Mr. Wood for a dummy and Barky for a dog?’ and then I realized that that’s EXACTLY what my 2 and a half year old daughter would name them so fair enough. 🤣Fun story and de...

Slappy surprisingly played only a small part in the original book. He was found in a dumpster by Lindy Powell, implying that Slappy has had more mischief in his past than we know about. Lindy took the dummy home, but soon her twin sister, Kris, became jealous and got a dummy of her own, named Mr. Wood. After purchasing Mr. Wood, strange things began to happen. The girls' room was turned upside down, and the kitchen was demolished when all of the food was emptied out and thrown about the room. Ho...

I think this is probably my favourite Goosebumps book out of the ones I’ve read and probably the one I’ve reread the most times. There’s just something so damn creepy and sinister about any kind of doll coming to life, dummy or not and I’m obsessed with it. For some reason I really enjoy the sibling rivalry in this book too, probably because I’m an only child and it makes me appreciate that a whole lot. I loved this one as a kid and I think I love it even more now! Reading it again at an older a...

I had one experience with R.L Stine when I was younger and that was watching The Werewolf of Fever Swamp. That memory is cemented in my mind because I was so fucking terrified. I can remember the day, where I was, the color of the couch I sat on and how I had the worst nightmares. Because of that movie I never went anywhere near “the dummy one” but I heard about it, and just hearing about it scared the shit out of me. I wanted to read this because what better time to revisit a childhood terror t...

A couple of days ago when I talked to my French Canadian friend, he introduced me to a very interesting book series called Goosebumps. The book series is very easy for me to read in English without using a dictionary. And plus, I can enjoy reading it.When I was a kid, I was a huge fan of 江戸川乱歩 (Edogawa Rampo). I read all his books when I was in the fifth grade. Most of his books were creepy and I competed with my classmates who was the fastest to finish reading all his books. Although I couldn't...

3.0 StarsI never grew up reading Goosebumps so I didn’t have any nostalgia for this series. I don’t tend to enjoy middle grade fiction and I honestly felt too old reading this one as an adult The sisters in the story were rather annoying, but I was pleasantly happy with the creepiness of the dummies. While I didn’t love this book, I look forward to reading through the series with my son when he is old enough. 

3 stars for the number of times a dummy slaps a little girl. I miss the 90s.

Super fun read! Would've loved it if the dummy (Mr Wood) had come to life sooner but the end was perfect! Can't wait to read the next one! 4/5 stars!

I try to express only my most honest opinion in a spoiler-free way. Unfortunately, there is still always a risk of slight spoilers despite my best efforts. If you feel something in my review is a spoiler please let me know. Thank you.It's kind of hard to rate this, cause it was just not meant for an adult reader. But read it I did to my 8-year-old daughter. Reading at night is one of our rituals. It was interesting to read the book that began Slappy. Who basically became the icon of Goosebumps.

Just had the opportunity to re-read this classic from my youth to my daughter. This was one of my favorites! Not sure who enjoyed it more, Liv or I!!😂😂5 stars

My fourth grade students begged me to purchase a class set of the book Night of the Living Dummy, part of the Goosebumps series by R.L. Stine. I can see why they love this book, although--sorry, kids, I won't be getting a class set.Night of the Living Dummy is kind of like a cross between Stephen King weirdness and the Night Gallery series by Rod Serling, but targeting kids. That aspect of the story was fun. I enjoyed the creepy and familiar of the story. (I recall, in fact, an evil doll in one

After watching the Goosebumps movie I thought I would delve back into my childhood for some nostalgic fun. This may have been a bad idea. Here we have a story of two mean sisters, one who is downright sadistically cruel at one point. Reading about them kind of made me sick. Slappy, the famous goosebumps dummy, is hardly a background character until the last sentence of a very rushed ending and the main "living" dummy has the worst dialogue, repeating over and over "slaves, I have power!" He is j...

Slappy' a dummy, is found lying in the dumpster of a scary house by the two sisters, but this is not his story.This is by far my favorite among the Goosebumps series. It goes so predictable that you will be surprise that it's different from the things you predicted. The ending is my favorite part, no matter how old I will be, it will forever haunt me.

Wowzers this took me right back to the 00’s when I used to read the Goosebumps books to my nieces! They used to adore the TV programme too! So it’s world book day this Thursday and my son has decided to go as Slappy, his favourite character from the Goosebumps series.We had a catch up read and I loved every second of it!It’s easy to get caught up in the glitz and glamour of the Goosebumps films, but this has just reminded me what an awesome author R L Stine is! Every child should read his books!...
