What came first: my fear of dolls/dummies or me reading this monster compendium?

Fact: it was me watching the Goosebumps TV show first and seeing Night of the Living Dummy. I was just proud that I could tell what letter the floating, semi-transparent script "G" was as it floated along the theme song town.

Disappointed it took me so long to finish but it gave me a lot of nostalgia.

[Mark]

I think he's still alive. Not His best work.

[Janina Sosnowski]

It tooked me a while but i'm glad I read it.
A great compilation of the most iconic goosebumps series.
Loved the three books, Specially the first one. By reading this is really easy to understand why Slappy is so popular and why he became the goosebumps mascot instead of Curly.

[Maddie butler]

I’m 24 years late to the game but that’s okay.
Night Of The Living Dummy 1 2 3 all in the same boom was a great idea. You didn’t have to pick up the next book or go buy it. You got to continue slappy’s story page by page.
I will have to admit I am curious what will happen to Zane? 🧐

[Mónica Martínez Catalán]

Estos libros siguen dando mal rollo pasen los años que pasen. Quizá demasiados paralelismos entre las tres historias, pero siempre con finales inesperados.

In Goosebumps Living Dummy Collection, by R.L. Stine there are 3 books and the first book is about these twins who found a dummy ( Slappy ) in a dumpster and their dad buying another dummy Mr.Wood who had magic words that brought both of them alive. Also book 2 has a family who tells there family members or does something that they learned or had fun about so the dad bought Slappy and she read the magic words which made him alive. Also in book 3 there is a Brother a cousin and a sister. The dad found the dummy and the sister/daughter read the card and then her dad put him on a wooden chair next to all 12 of his other dummies counting him is 13. Read the books or book to find out what happened next will they survive or die????

This book is about a girl who found an old dummy in the trash, she had lots of fun with that puppet.But one day, no one new this puppet was alive.The dummy started tormenting the family by destroying everything and making the people his slaves.In my opinion,this story is likable because there are many exciting moments and horror scenes that motivates the readers to understand the plot and read more.

Now I've been on a major R.L. Stine kick lately and I absolutely loved the Living Dummy collection. This book contains Night of the Living Dummy I, II & III so I've read all three and I really enjoyed them. You can tell their meant for the younger crowd for what they are I give them five stars. I really enjoyed them and living dummy was a collection that I really didn't want to end.

[Sid S]

The three books that came with this collection introduced me to the Goosebumps series. Very intriguing read for the teenage-me. I remember being truly petrified once while reading this series. The book also introduced new words to me at that age (ventriloquism). I'd recommend this book. It's reminiscent of the movie series 'Child's Play' in parts.

This is when slappy brings a little bit of help and awakens more dummies. THe kids have to find a way to deafeat them. Can he deafeat them? This book is scary. I think this book is a good book to conquer fear. Fear is only a metaphor for dreams.

[Soplada]

good book and its very scary, exciting and goosebumpsy :0 when i read it i shouted and cried ....تسقط دمعى كبيرا من عيني .. وأنا جوعانا

[Rebekah]

Goosebumbs. I LOVED Goosebumps as a child. I am so glad this series exists because as a child I was not the "Babysitters Club" type. LOL.

[Tiffani Tope]

I love the Slappy books. They are my favorite of the Goosebumps! That dummy is so funny, but sometimes can give me nightmares.

[Kimmy Nightingale]

It was really good book.

[Becky]

I just love it! Slappy was so funny and he was a fun character to read !
