 Slappy finally getting his due! While Slappy is more of a mischievous dummy rather than a killer dummy, Stine does a great job eliciting horror through said mischief - the sheer disappointment and anger from your parents, being ostracized by your family, waking up in the dead of the night to a living dummy in your closet... Genuinely haunting stuff, and an even more haunting ending.
