Based on ''Literature/NightOfTheLivingDummyII'', book #31 of the original ''Literature/{{Goosebumps}}'' series.
Amy's life takes a terrifying turn when her dad brings home a new ventriloquist dummy for her, only for Slappy to turn out to be alive -- and evil.
----
!!The episode provides examples of:
* AdaptationDyeJob: Slappy is [[EvilRedhead a redhead]] instead of a brunette. Visually this makes him a sort of CompositeCharacter with Mr. Wood, who [[UnInstallment doesn't appear]].
* AmbiguousEnding: Unlike the book, it is confirmed that Dennis was the one to defeat Slappy, though whether he did it to protect the family or to be top dummy is left up to our imagination.
* CompressedAdaptation: Slappy's multiple acts of vandalism which Amy is blamed for, such as dumping paint all over Sarah's rug and painting "Amy" all over her walls, are reduced to a single act of painting crude stick figures of the family on Sarah's new painting. The chapter where Slappy ruins a girl's birthday party by refusing to let go of her hand is reworked into a scene where he does the same to Alicia in Amy's house.
* RaceLift: Margo and Alicia aren't black in the book.
* RelatedInTheAdaptation: Amy's best friend Margo and Alicia, the girl whose hand gets caught by Slappy, are sisters in this version.
