~ Slappy the Dummy |
Slappy the Dummy is the main antagonist in the children's horror book series Goosebumps. He is created by R.L Stein. He is considered one of the most popular and most evil creatures in the series, as well as being the key factor to the success of one of the series' most popular story arcs: The Night of the Living Dummy Anthology. He is also a major villain in the Horrorland series and the narrator of his own series Slappyland as well as being the main antagonist in most books. He is also the main antagonist of the 2015 film Goosebumps and its sequel. He also appears as a major antagonist in the Goosebumps comics.
In the TV series, he was portrayed by Annick Obonsawin in three episodes, and Cal Dodd in two others.
Appearance
As described in the books, Slappy has wavy brown hair painted atop his wooden head and freckles dotted along his cheeks. His lips are painted bright red and curl up into a sinister smile. The lower lip however, sports a chip in the corner, giving Slappy's grin an unsettling crooked appearance. His eyes are described as being a cold blue and almost lifelike in appearance. Slappy wears a dark grey, double-breasted suit, with brown leather shoes and a red bow-tie. His shirt is nothing more than a white paint application on the chest, with a collar stapled on the neck.
For the television program, Slappy's appearance was altered from its depiction in the books and the cover artwork. His head no longer appeared to be made out of wood and instead seemed to be constructed out of a plaster-like material. His now-unruly hair was painted auburn, while his freckles were removed, and his eye color changed to green. His dark grey suit was changed to a black tuxedo, with the addition of a real shirt, suspenders, and matching red bow-tie/cumberbund/boutineer combo. He is probably more comedic in the TV version as well.
Biography
Past
Slappy was originally created by an unnamed evil sorcerer by being carved out of the cursed wood of a stolen coffin, alongside Mr. Wood. He takes the form of a ventriloquist dummy but is granted life, threatening everyone around him and becoming more of a threat as the series progressed. The only way to make him live is by saying the following incantation "Karru Marri Odonna Loma Molunnu Karrano" (said to mean "You and I are one now"). Written down on a business card, he keeps the spell in his pocket. Almost every new owner reads out the spell, causing the electricity to act strange for a few seconds.
Night Of The Living Dummy
Slappy would soon be found in the dumpster by Lindy Powell, and later becomes her imaginary friend and ventriloquist dummy. Lindy reads the spell that is enscribed on Slappy's card and brings him to life. Lindy's sister, Kris, becomes extremely jealous of the attention Lindy is getting at school and from her mom. Soon, Kris gets her own dummy, Mr. Wood. Slappy hated his younger brother, so they would frequently fight and attempt to kill each other threw the night. Soon, Mr. Wood is crushed by a steam roller.

Lindy sells Slappy the next day, and Slappy get's sent to an apartment store.

He begins causing chaos and havoc in the household, wrecking Amy's dad's guitar, vandalizing her sister's painting, and even attacking a child. All of this gets blamed on Any, and soon Slappy has taken hold of her entire life.
