* EvenEvilHasStandards: When the saboteur wraps up a kid in drapes, Slappy finds it sick. Although it's mostly the sabotaging his deeds part he finds awful, as he says he'd wrap a kid in drapes just for fun.

The ''Literature/{{Goosebumps}} Series 2000'' book where Slappy is [[VillainEpisode the star]].

Slappy the Dummy has ruined yet another of Jimmy O'James' ventriloquist acts, and Jimmy's sick of it. Buying a new dummy named Wally, who can also be brought to life and put Slappy to sleep forever, he gives Slappy to sisters Stella and Georgia, with the warning that because of the spell he's under now, he must do three good deeds within a week or be permanently out of commission. Desperate to stay alive so he can keep doing his evil, Slappy does his best, but someone's sabotaging his every attempt, which could mean his doom...
