Also, I think Disney decided to combine Slappy with his creator from the books. In case you are wondering, hey what is the creator called? It’s Darkwell the magician.

2022 marks the 30th anniversary of Goosebumps, and author R.L. Stine is celebrating with an origin story for one of his most popular creations. Slappy, Beware! will be published on September 20 via Scholastic.

The 192-page hardcover children's horror novel details the untold story of Slappy the Dummy, who was first introduced in 1993's Night of the Living Dummy and went on to appear in various sequels and spin-offs.

This special edition features four page pieces of original Slappy art. Read the synopsis below, and you can head to EW for an excerpt.

Slappy the ventriloquist’s dummy has only one mission in his tiny, deranged mind: do evil every day, all day. His creator, powerful sorcerer Darkwell the Magician, has warned him that should he fail to cause chaos before the sun sets each day, he will sleep FOREVER. Normally, this is a piece of poisonous cake for Slappy―but he may have met his match in the Carlton family. Each attempt at evil ends in disaster, and the dummy starts to panic. Will Slappy’s scariest day yet bring an end to his reign of terror?

Pre-order Slappy, Beware! by R.L. Stine.
