« prev episode next » episode

Trina and Dan O'Dell's dad used to have a ventriloquist act. That's why he has all those dummies in the attic. But ever since he brought home a broken dummy named Slappy, and when their cousin Zane visits, things get pretty strange. Dummies show up in places they shouldn't, and no one admits to placing them there. Zane finally admits that he was setting everyone up, but not even Zane can explain it when Slappy appears out of nowhere... Read full recap »

In certain camera angles in the scenes of Zane's bedroom and the hallway as Trina and Daniel swept, a black line can be seen at the bottom of the screen. This is clearly a crack in the special camera's lens, as it only appears in the two types of angles, while the shots made from other angles were made with a different one. edit »
Slappy is bigger in this episode (and the continuation) than he was in Night Of The Living Dummy II. This is because, in this installment, Slappy needs an actor to properly animate him (in the previous installment, he was simply a puppet with limited motion). For consistency, they made the puppet the same size as the actor. edit »
Most of the "dummies" are actually dolls. edit »
In Night of the Living Dummy II, when Slappy's head falls on the fireplace, his entire face breaks off, but when they show what's left of him in the sequel, only the part around his eye is missing. edit »

This episode and its continuation were released on VHS and DVD. edit »
Based on Book #40 edit »

Trina: Well, we scoured the bathroom, weeded the garden, washed the windows, and set the table. Are we done yet?
Mom: Did you dredge the moat?
Dan: We don't have a moat.
Mom: Oh. Well, then I guess you're done. edit »

Title Spoof:
The title, both for the episode and book, spoofs the title of the famous movie, Night of The Living Dead. edit »
