!!This book provides examples of:
* TheBusCameBack: [[spoiler: Mr. Wood]] finally returns in a brief cameo during the prologue.
* DontSplitUsUp: Mr. Harrison plans to seperate the dummies, which very much upsets them. They plan to get revenge on him before he can do it.
* DistantPrologue: The first section is a prologue set decades prior to set up the backstory.
* HoistByHisOwnPetard: [[spoiler: The twist reveals that Snappy was only pretending to be nice and Slappy was on it. However, Slappy is blown up after hitting a propane tank during the fight. That means he was so into keeping up the charade that he blew himself up during it. Whoops]].
* NeverTrustATitle: At first it's played straight as Snappy is good. [[spoiler: Turns to be an aversion as he is actually evil.]]
* PresentTenseNarrative: The prologue is written this way.
* PolarOppositeTwins: Slappy and Snappy, who are evil and nice respectively. [[spoiler: Subverted when it turns out Snappy is evil too]].
* {{Retcon}}: This book gives Slappy a new backstory in order to explain how Snappy exists.
* ShoutOut: Some of Mr. Harrison's movie titles are based off existing horror movie titles.
** ''It Came from Beneath My Bed!'' doubles as a reference to the film ''Film/ItCameFromBeneathTheSea'' and the earlier ''Goosebumps'' book ''Literature/ItCameFromBeneathTheSink''.
** ''Attack of the 2000-Pound Dachshund'' is a reference to ''Film/AttackOfThe50FootWoman''.
** The title ''I Married a Dummy'' suggests a reference to the 1958 film ''I Married a Monster From Outer Space''.
* SpoilerCover: The book [[spoiler: plays with this, as the eponymous twin is nice for most of the book but the twist reveals he actually was evil the whole time.]]
* StuffBlowingUp: [[spoiler: The climax features a fiery explosion when Slappy smacks into a propane tank, which destroys most of their garage and seemingly Slappy himself.]]
* ThemeTwinNaming: Slappy and Snappy, whose names are identical but for one letter.
