Another great twist to another great goosebumps book.

Great October reads.

[Justin Tate · Rating 4 out of 5]

First few chapters seemed incredible with actual Slappy backstory. After that it turned generic, although there were genuine thrills involving near suffocation and propane tanks. In the end, it’s Goosebumps so you gotta love it!

R.L. Stine had written novels about Slappy for nearly a quarter century by the time I Am Slappy's Evil Twin saw release in 2017, but never had we seen this part of the evil doll's backstory, which takes place in 1920. Franz Mahar, a dollmaker who was taught black magic by Kanduu the sorcerer, immigrated to America after parting ways with Kanduu, but his penchant for creating evil dolls didn't sit well with the people of the village he moved to. In the present day, twelve-year-old Luke Harrison and his ten-year-old sister Kelly lead a comfortable life in Hollywood. Their father makes horror movies and owns a motion picture studio, and weather in the Golden State is always balmy. But one day when Luke and Kelly are building a drone in the garage with their friend Jamal, a pair of ventriloquist dummies walk up to them. This is no optical illusion perpetrated by their dad; Slappy and Snappy are alive, and their eyes—green for Slappy, black for Snappy—are the only way to tell them apart. How is this happening?

As Slappy has done so often, he terrorizes Luke and Kelly by doing hateful things and then feigning lifelessness in front of their father. Mr. Harrison appreciates a good scary story—in fact, the two dummies are here because he acquired them for his private horror cinema museum in his attic—but do his kids think they can dupe him into believing the dolls are alive? Being accused of malevolent mischief is frustrating, but the danger factor jumps into high gear when Slappy and Snappy's rivalry heats up. It seems that Slappy is the twisted twin while Snappy has a conscience, and Slappy is disgusted by his brother's weakness. Furious at Luke and Kelly's father for planning to sell the dummies, Slappy designs a revenge that could get them all killed...but is a plot twist about to turn the scenario on its head?

I Am Slappy's Evil Twin draws on some of the franchise's classic elements, particularly Slappy's delight in gaslighting kids and framing them for his own actions. The storytelling isn't as effective as in Night of the Living Dummy or Night of the Living Dummy II, but it's hard to keep things fresh after so many books featuring the same villain. The details of Slappy's origin are interesting, though I'm not sure they mesh with his history in previous Goosebumps books. Why has Snappy never factored into the story until now? I'd rate I Am Slappy's Evil Twin one and a half stars at best, but I like revisiting the Slappy storyline. There's more of it dead ahead in this series.

[Hew La France · Rating 3 out of 5]

I'm a stickler for continuity, so this book REALLY bothered me. The prologue in the beginning was a good start. It touched on Mr. Wood's origin, (Mr. Wood was the dummy in the original Night of the Living Dummy, who was later introduced in Slappy's Nightmare as Slappy's twin, Wally), and seemed like it was going to set up for an awesome Goosebumps entry.
But everything from the conclusion of the prologue on just... oy. At no point in the prologue did it state the doll maker made Slappy from coffin wood, a fact established and upheld from Bride of the Living Dummy on, and at no point does the sorcerer who brought Mr. Wood to life do anything else that would seemingly make the prologue make more sense. and then, the prologue doesn't even impact the main story. I don't know. I was not too fond of this one.

Boy,that was really cool !

[Opal · Rating 4 out of 5]

I'm going to start by saying if you enjoy any sort of consistency in Slappy/Night of the Living Dummy lore, then honestly skip this, because anything and everything you know about Slappy coming in is non-existent here. The book starts with a mini origin story that contradicts everything we already know about Slappy's (and Mr. Wood's) background. Even the newly established powers Slappy had in "Slappy Birthday" are gone. HOWEVER... it's honestly really fun anyway. At this point, I kind of consider the Slappyworld books to be stories that Slappy is making up, so of course he's going to give himself super powers and change whatever about himself he wants. (I am a big stickler for consistency, so if I can shoehorn in an in-universe explanation for throwing previously established lore to the wind, I certainly will.)


Plot:

It's a Night of the Living Dummy book, but in HOLLYWOOD (in case you don't know: evil dummy Slappy comes to life and declares the main characters his slaves, frames them for all sorts of mischief, and no one believes the kids). The only difference is Slappy's twin, Snappy, who constantly--and I mean CONSTANTLY--chastises Slappy for being impolite/mean. Considering the title, I doubt this is actually a spoiler, but I'll use a spoiler tag anyway: "I Am ***Slappy's*** Evil Twin." This guy speaks with all the sincerity of Mark Walberg from The Happening. If the TITLE didn't give him away, his dialogue and the fact he doesn't do anything that would actually be helpful to the kids does. Also, I loved the references to horror movies. I am a sucker for that stuff, PARTICULARLY the Chucky/Child's Play reference (even if the references are shallow).


Characters:

The main characters are fine, except the dad, which I guess is to be expected in a Night of the Living Dummy book. The dad is so painfully dense, the main character's friend actually points it out with annoyed confusion. Snappy is honestly beyond annoying to me, but he might not be as annoying to actual children--the target demographic of this book. Slappy is, as always, the best part. In every book I read with Slappy, he usually earns a laugh from me, and this book certainly is not the exception.


Conclusion:

This book was eye-rolling and over the top in a good way, and managed to capture the campy fun of the Goosebumps episodes (that specific goofy charm of the episodes, not quite found in the books). I would definitely recommend it, though don't expect ANY sort of consistency between this and previous books. If you love Slappy's antics, you can't go wrong.

[Christopher Saunders · Rating 3 out of 5]

A horror parable for the Trump era, I Am Slappy's Evil Twin provides Slappy the Dummy (an evil, psychotic madman loved by generations of Goosebumps readers, and loathed by everyone else) a milquetoast twin who complains incessantly about Slappy's foul language and lack of decorum while unhesitatingly abetting him in his evil schemes. R.L. Stine, brilliant author that he is, exhibits the restraint not to name this dummy Paul or Mitch (instead he's called Snappy, reflecting the disastrous snap judgments men in power frequently make to abet and appease dangerous demagogues). The allegory becomes, however, a little on the nose when Snappy writes an anonymous editorial to the New York Times, criticizing Slappy's vulgar ignorance ("he constantly confused black cherry with balsam fir, and called me "ugly" whenever I tried correcting him") and gauche vanity ("I had to hide his linseed oil to prevent him from varnishing his head all day") while defending his child enslavement and tax policies. In the end, Slappy is defeated by the human protagonists, only for Snappy to reveal that HE was the evil twin all along! Thus, Stine warns with chilling prescience, the Republican Party will endure long after Trump has oozed his way out of the White House.

I love Goosebumps I never really cared for slappy.this one sorta sucked :(

[Shawn Durham · Rating 5 out of 5]

Great story. Being a kid in the 90s-early 00s, I obvious loved Goosebumps. When I saw that Stine was coming out with a new series I had to read them.

This story revolves around 3 kids: Kelly, Luke, & Jamal (Kelly & Luke are siblings-Jamal is a friend). The siblings are given 2 dummies, Slappy & Snappy, by their dad who is also a movie director. As always, the dummies are alive, but this time they’re not all evil. Although slappy is evil, snappy is a good dummy who tries to prevent Slappy from mischief. Slappy causes mischief which gets the kids in trouble. In the end, the dad ends up believing the kids about the dummies. Slappy is gone, which leaves the kids with Snappy, the good doll. Snappy, it turns out, was never good but was pretending to be good to fool the kids. The book ends with Snappy calling the kids his slaves.

As always, Goosebumps still prevails!

This started off fantastic, and I was so excited to finally get a glimpse into the person who made Slappy all those years ago! (Franz Mahar, if you're interested.)

Unfortunately, that awesome side story only lasts a chapter or two, and then the rest of this turns into a pretty generic Slappy story. And of course, we never find out where his twin has been in all the other 1,000 Slappy stories, and he is probably never mentioned again. Snappy, we hardly knew ye.

[Peter · Rating 4 out of 5]

Would you enjoy reading it again:
Possibly. This book is a typical Goosebumps book with some charm (Slappy and Snappy being funny) but there isn't anything truly unique or special about this book because it's the same tropes as there has been in the past: there is no new monster or anything truly new. A lot of what happens feels all over the place and it feels like this was a dream RL Stine had rather than an actual book he outlined. I'd rather read an original Goosebump book than this book; this book was great fun but the original series was more fun because there was more genuine horror and all characters were funny (not just Slappy and Snappy ~ the characters in this book were boring otherwise).

*SPOILERS* Summary: The book opens with the past where a man builds Slappy and Slappy's twin (Snappy); an angry town mob burn two dolls thinking they burned they burned Slappy&Snappy but the creator had secretly hid Slappy&Snappy so they'd be safe. The book jumps to a father getting Slappy & Snappy for a movie he is working on. A brother, sister and friend notice Slappy & Snappy come to life, they warn their father of this but the father doesn't believe them, Slappy messes up tons of stuff causing the father to get mad at them. Slappy and Snappy claim they are planning on ruining the kid's father's career and whatnot because the father wants to sell the dolls and separate the dolls after filming the movie - and so the dolls continue to do things to make the kids look bad. Eventually, Slappy and Snappy get into a fight in the backyard where a gasoline tank explodes - sending Slappy flying away into the woods (presumed dead) and Snappy to be injured. The father shows up and states he saw what happened and he apologizes for not having believed in the kids in the past. The kids help Snappy because Snappy was always the good and nice doll, but once saved, Snappy makes a remark about how he is worse than Slappy but was just waiting for an opportunity to shine. - 4

Did you enjoy the plot:
It was entertaining but I could have done better, predictable. There was a lot more potential with everything that was introduced in this book. The creator from the beginning of the book should have appeared again. Instead of focusing on the father not believing the kids, the book should have focused on Slappy and Snappy doing bigger things than normal. It was very entertaining to watch Slappy and Snappy bicker and fight with one another (yet, I wish Snappy would have lived up to his name - it seemed like Slappy was always being evil and making quick remarks while Snappy just told Slappy to cool it) but otherwise it was the same stuff as the prior original Slappy books. It was easy to predict everything that was going to happen, and there was a lot that I wish went in a different direction. I was hoping the father would believe them (because we've never seen that before) and so on. There was a lot of random stuff that didn't need to be in the book - like the friend, taking a taxi to the filming set and so on. - 3

Did you enjoy the writing style:
Better than most books. I really enjoyed how anytime Slappy or Snappy spoke, everything they said was in italics. Otherwise, the book reads like a normal Goosebumps book, which is outstanding for its target audience but sub-par for an adult audience. It does, however, feel like its not RL Stine writing because a lot of the way the story is told isn't like how he originally tells a story; it feels like he is trying to be more hip or relate to a younger audience based on the things he points out and things that occur: rather than focusing on creepy stuff, he now focuses on the reasons as to why and how they got an Uber.... it was more fun reading a Goosebumps book when you ignored the logistics of the real world and it simply went from scary thing to scary thing (Goosebumps books used to have a universal and timeless charm this way and it feels like RL Stine is straying away from that) - 4

Good ending?
It was what I expected but still entertaining. I like how there was a happy moment where the father apologized for not having believed them. I could easily predict the 'twist' ending, and the way Snappy just revealed himself to be evil was lame: instead, Snappy should have DONE something evil then made the speech if he was so inclined to make a speech - 3

Format: physical book (paperback)
Average rating: 3.5 stars. Round up: 4 stars.

[Clover · Rating 3 out of 5]

TLDR;
There is zero character development for the kids in this book. This book is all about Slappy and Snappy. Snappy is a very fun addition to the book, he is gentle and polite. I loved him a lot and felt bad for him because Slappy is so mean. It was kind of hard listening to Luke try so hard to prove to his dad that the dummies were real. He should have realised it didn’t matter sooner than he did, but it ended really well and is a good third installment in this new Goosebumps series.

Good vs. Evil:
The book starts with a 3-chapter prologue in London, 1920. Franz Mahar is a puppet maker and is being forced out of his home. He learned magic from a magician named Konduu, but his “magic comes from a dark place. Konduu is a sorcerer.” Mahar is lonely and will sometimes use a little magic to make his puppets speak. The townsfolk want him gone as his evil magic is ruining their town. He has created Slappy and Snappy. This is quite interesting because in Slappy, Beware (2022), Slappy’s creator is Darkwell. An evil sorcerer whose story is very similar to Franz Mahar’s.

Then we come back to the present. Luke Harrison (12), his sister Kelly (10) live primarily with their dad who “is the owner of Horror House Films” in Hollywood Hills. Their mom “lives in the Valley with her new husband. [They] stay with her every other weekend.” The two don’t get scared easy as they’ve grown up around the horror movies their father films. “Some of the stuff he brings home is valuable. He keeps those things in display cases up in the attack. He calls it his Horror Museum.” Their friend Jamal doesn’t like it as he prefers science fiction, but all of them are excited to be in Mr. Harrison’s newest movie, <I Married a Dummy. However, the two dummies Luke’s father plans on using are alive and very evil. He doesn’t believe they are alive or hurting the children, much to the frustrations of the trio. The two dummies are staying in the attic before they begin filming. Mr. Harrison has two buyers interested in the dummies after the movie. “Selling these dummies will pay for [Luke and Kelly’s] college education.” But the dummies don’t want to be separated and are determined to ruin Mr. Harrison’s movie and his life. Luke and Kelly have a lot of run ins with the dummy brothers, “[t]his wasn’t a dream. It was a different kind of nightmare. A living nightmare.” They keep trying to tell their father about it but he won’t believe them. He warns them if one more incident with the dummies occurs, none of them will be allowed in the film. Luke, Kelly, and Jamal take the risk to prove to Mr. Harrison that the dummies are real, dangerous, and out to hurt him.

This was a good book. It wasn’t frustrating that Mr. Harrison didn’t believe them. He was even worried for their mental health because it didn’t make sense to him. The facts he had were different than what the three kids experienced. Luke just needed to stop trying to prove it a bit sooner. It was fun watching Slappy interact with Snappy. Snappy is gentle and polite, he doesn’t seem to agree with Slappy’s methods. I did really like Snappy in this book.

The ending was solid, a good Goosebumps ending that didn’t let you down. I really liked Attack of the Jack! so this was a good third installment in the series. I wish there was more world building/description like there was in Attack of the Jack!. I really liked the idea of the Horror Museum too, but it was a small scene. It’s interesting to see the inconsistencies in Slappy’s origin. The cover has a chip on his lower lip, but never is a chip mentioned anywhere in this book. In other SlappyWorld books featuring him the chip is on his nose. The person who created Slappy changes too. I wonder why these inconsistencies happen and it’s interesting to see that after decades of Slappy, R.L. Stine didn’t have a fully fleshed out backstory for him so he evolves with each new addition.

3.5/5

I got a Goosebumps Humble Bundle earlier this year. And I figured, what better time to finally dig into it than on R.L. Stine’s 80th birthday? The Goosebumps books are what got me into reading chapter books, starting with The Headless Ghost in third grade 20 years ago. It’s probably been nearly two decades since I last read a Goosebumps book, so I decided to start this revisit by checking in on a familiar villain: Slappy.

Unfortunately, though, this one did not do much for me. Part of me wonders if I’m just older and maybe would have enjoyed this more as a kid. But I really do think some of this feels like more of the same. It starts off with promise by beginning with a prologue showing some backstory set in 1920. While I’m not sure if this fits with backstory shown in other parts of the Slappy storyline, I kind of wish the whole book had been about this backstory.

However, it jumps to the present, and we get a rather run of the mill Slappy story. Even the surname used here, Harrison, was already used as the first name of a character in Bride of the Living Dummy. The whole “Oh my parent doesn’t believe me” also feels so overdone. And why incorporate a twin we’d never heard of before named Snappy when we had the likes of Mr. Wood previously? The ending is so predictable, and the title really telegraphs things. I hope this is an outlier and that there’s more for me to actually enjoy from this batch.

This one managed to slip my mind—and I have no idea how. The book was certainly much more different than other Slappy books. Starting off with some stuff I liked, I thought the setting of Hollywood was really nice. Scream School was the only other Goosebumps book to my knowledge to take place there. The characters were mostly okay, the Slappy shenanigans was above average here, the prologue was really good, and the huge plot point involving some sort of tank (no spoilers) was nuts. I also really liked Snappy—until the end. The book, however, suffers from its incredibly slow pacing in the first 70 pages or so. Roughly 5 scenes were in there, which isn’t exactly fun when it’s a fucking Slappy book! The ending twist is bad and made little sense. The father character was somewhat annoying, and there was also a decent amount of filler that took up a lot of the book. Also, there’s a weird scene involving Slappy and Snappy faking not being sentient, which with the context adds nothing to the plot and is pointless when they could just talk. It’s dumb as shit but it’s only like 4 pages so uh, anyways—this book gets a 6.5/10 not terrible but not fantastic.

A disappointment work by R.L. Stine.
Kelly and Luke are siblings, with a father in the horror industry.

The book begins akin to "It's Alive! It's Alive!", another book in the Slappyworld series, with two teenagers talking about/building a drone/robot.
They invoke the help of Jamal, who was introduced as though a vital part of the plot yet is just a kind of walk-in character.
And then Luke's father gets two dummies, for a horror movie shoot.
Slappy and Snappy.
Slappy is evil, while Snappy seems to always reprimand him, making him seem like the innocent twin of the evil twin.

They somehow beat the two dummies at the end, but only Slappy died, Snappy survives.
And Oh, Lo and Behold, Snappy is still alive and is evil, and him acting innocent was the most evil prank they could think of.

luke harrison’s dad makes horror movies for a living, his dad has a horror monster museum at home. luke’s dad is currently making a movie with two ventriloquist dummies and so he brings them home. the two dummies are slappy and snappy, they are alive and are getting luke in trouble.

it was really interesting to see slappy’s backstory in the beginning, it was different for a change. then we follow the normal goosebumps formula, this was very fun. i have always enjoy slappy as the evil dummy that he is, and in this book it haven’t changed, he’s still very great!

i’m probably gonna just keep reading this series on audio since they’re all very well done. especially when it comes slappy breaks throughout the book, his voice actor is amazing and love his evil laugh always.

The book i read was slappy's world i am slappy's evil twin. In my opinion this book was terrible, trash , and you should burn it then barry it in a desert far away. i don't like it because it's too cheesy you can tell what's going to happen next.

I did like that there is not that much as an intro to the book.. like how they tell you every person in it and everything ever. I also i like that there is really short chapters.

Everything else about this book is terrible. I didn't like that the dummies were not in it that much. It was mostly about the kid trying to save his dad movie. Then the kid getting trap in a glass case and his friends trying to save him.

[Emma · Rating 5 out of 5]

The main character of this book is a boy named Luke Harrison. Clearly, that name must be a reference to both the Star Wars character Luke Skywalker, and the actor Harrison Ford, who, ironically played Han Solo in Star Wars. And if that weren't funny enough, I tend to read Slappy the Dummy in a voice similar to what Luke Skywalker's actor, Mark Hamill, used in his 30+ years of voicing The Joker. AFAIK, Mark has never voiced Slappy, but that voice just makes sense to me, personally.

You'll have noticed that I rated this book 5 stars. There have been some previous Goosebumps books that I've given that rating to. But Goosebumps: SlappyWorld, Book 3: I Am Slappy's Evil Twin is the first book in this particular Goosebumps series to get that rating from me. I really did think it was amazing!

[Brandon · Rating 3 out of 5]

One of the better, newer books I've read thus far. I've never really been a huge fan of Slappy but this proves why he's really an interesting villain. This book is complete with a strong opening giving us a backstory of slappy and snappy (who I assume is really Mr. Wood). The middle was repetitive, but fun and the ending felt a little like Die Hard or something. Really a good, fun Goosebumps book 3 out of 5 stars. The only reason it only gets an average rating is because as fun as this book is, there's still alot better ones.

The parents in this series really need to start believing their kids!

I Am Slappy's Evil Twin was fast-paced and dark, but it was fun! The characters were likeable, although the father was sometimes annoying. The two evil dummies on the loose were an interesting concept, and the horror movie additions were a nice touch. However, like the previous books in this series, the ending was a tad rushed. Nonetheless, this was an unputdownable read, and I look forward to the next book!

Another quick read. It might not help that I'm reading these out of order (oops). It's hard coming back from being an OG Goosebumps kid and looking at these stories like, "wth? wasn't this established back 100+ books ago?"

Slappy's popular. He's been around a long time. I get it.
But, who the heck is Snappy?????

Look, they were both adorable with their banter. They had some sort of a plan with their interactions. Really had some decent suspense going. Continuity be damned, it got some chuckles out of me.

This month's read with my super amazing 8 year-old was the third book in the Slappy series. Although my boy can read well, usually I always read his bedtime stories to him but with this one he decided we should take it in turns by reading a chapter each. And he blew me away by easily reading words like 'accordion', 'suffocated' and 'commotion' without any help. So, thank you Mr. Stine for helping my boy to continue to develop his reading skills with stories which don't 'talk down' to kids - it is very special to me to be reading books to my boy by an author I loved when I was younger.

When his horror movie-making dad brings home two dummies for his next film, Luke is in for a heap of trouble. Slappy and his brother Snappy keep coming to life to torment Luke and his sister, but their father never believes they're not the actual culprits of all the shenanigans around the house. What can a couple of kids do when there are two evil dummies trying to ruin their lives?
This was one of the better, slightly more aggressive Goosebumps books. It also had an interesting prologue explaining the origin of Slappy and Snappy.

[Sandra Lopez · Rating 4 out of 5]

It all began with the creation of the dummy in 1920. That led to more dummies until the villagers came and burned every one—except the last two that were created.
Present Day: Luke’s dad has just brought home two identical dummies for his new horror movie. There was something strange about the dummies though—they seem to come alive! See how the dummies torment Luke and his sister. If only they could get their dad to believe them. Only a dummy would believe a dummy.
Can the kids get to the dad’s movie set before the twin dummies blow it up?
A good and frightening read!

The beginning this time was interesting as they started with the exciting stuff right away. But when I kept reading and didn’t find any mentioning of the prologue or it being related to the story in any way or another, I was disappointed. What was the point of it then!? Were we suppose to make the connection and figure it out ourselves or what!?

The story was okay, and the ending was like the first issue’s. Where they thought one dummy is good but actually turns out evil. Actual rating 2,5 stars
