I am reviewing this as a 20 year old who used to watch this as a small child and still rewatches it till' this day. This is a great episode starring the all-time creepy "Slappy the Dummy". These episodes always got a little better treatment with regards to quality storytelling.
It is about this young girl who get's a new ventriloquest doll as a gift from her dad. However, this doll starts acting real strange as the days go by...he may even be alive.
This episode has the most straight forward story of all the Slappy episodes. It honestly is more of a strength than a weakness. Yes, we don't see a lot of any of the side characters, but it focuses more on the scares. It also has enough 90's goofiness that it's not so scary to the point where it's a bad thing. The acting isn't oscar-worthy, and the soundtrack is corny scary, and the pranks that Slappy does aren't life threatening.
Even though I was terrified when I was a kid of Slappy, the average kid would probably be creeped out by this episode but not to badly. I would reccomend for any parent trying to show them 90's nostalgia. I would also reccomend for anyone who hasn't seen it, Goosebumps is terrifying fun!
