User blog comment:AustinDR/PE Proposal: Slappy the Dummy/@comment-34055410-20200105172113

The main problem with any Goosebumps characters counting is that most of them tend to be very campy and over-the-top. Another issue is the heinous standard. If I recall correctly, there was a certain story where the villain would lure kids into his “piano lesson studio” before taking their hands literally and forcing them to play the piano forever. However, as hammy as he could be, Slappy should still be menacing enough to be taken seriously, and all the deaths he caused, the number of people he wanted to turn into his slaves, and umpteen other crimes should make him breach the heinous standard. I’ll vote yes.
