* FromBadToWorse: Subverted and double-subverted. [[spoiler: In the final confrontation, Dan decides to read out loud the magic spell that brought Slappy to life thinking it'll make him lifeless again, but instead he awakens all the other dummies of the attic, who eerily get up and march towards them... until it turns out that they're actually circling around Slappy and [[DevouredByTheHorde gang up on him]]. But then they all play possum when Zane suddenly enters in the attic, sees the pile of dummies and decides to go tell Trina and Dan's father assuming that they were plotting something against him. They get grounded, their summer camp cancelled and possibly stuck with a whole attic of living dummies that have dubious intentions.]]

* KarmaHoudini: Zane is never exposed for the misdeeds he did to get Trina and Dan in trouble as revenge for all the times they scared him in previous visits, leaving the two grounded for a very long time for the trouble he (and later Slappy) caused and him with a warm goodbye from his uncle and aunt. [[spoiler:That being said, the book ends with him deciding to take up ventriloquism and deciding to claim Slappy as the dummy he'll use to get started. As he leaves, Slappy winks at Trina, showing he's still alive and most definitely ready to cause trouble for Zane in the near future.]]
