Night of the Living Dummy III (2)

Episode Number: 44    Season Num: 2    First Aired: Sunday July 20, 1997    Prod Code: 225
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...

Trivia

add »
If you pay close attention, you'll be able to tell when Slappy is a dummy or an actor in a costume. The costume's face stretches like rubber when the mouth moves, and it can't move its eyes or eyebrows. The dummies also have human hands when actors wear costumes. (edit)
If you look very carefully as Slappy tries to squirm away from Trina and Dan as they wait for Zane, you can faintly see black wires moving his arms. (edit)
Slappy is bigger in this episode (and the predecessor) than he was in Night Of The Living Dummy II. (edit)
On the VHS/DVD release of this episode, the music recording is cut short, stopping before the credits are actually over, though just by an inch. (edit)
Most of the "dummies" are actually dolls. (edit)

Allusions

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