Night of the Living Dummy is a terrifying volume from R. L. Stine's original Goosebumps series, often re-issued as a "Classic" title. The story follows a pair of sisters, Kris and Lindy Powell, who find a sinister, discarded ventriloquist's dummy they name Slappy. When Lindy begins to use the dummy for her act, strange and malicious incidents begin to happen around the house, which the girls blame on the dummy. The novel masterfully builds suspense as the line between the girls' mischievous pranks and the dummy's seemingly supernatural, evil life begins to blur, leading to a chilling conclusion.
