2. Spoiler Alert: Slappy Might Be More Important To The Plot Than You Thought
In the movie, the character of Stine is set to have a very special relationship with Slappy the dummy (no, NOT like that), whom Black has described as the "ringleader" of all the villains of the series. But according to Letterman, he's might be even more sinister than we originally assumed: "One of the main monsters, one of the most popular monsters is Slappy. Hes a big part of the movie. He plays a big part of the movie. You sort of discover along the way, we dont say it were not on the nose about it, but hes the alternate ego of R.L. Stine" WHAT?! The alter EGO of Stine? Could this film sound any more ridiculous? Everyone breath, it's going to be fine. It might just be a joke or something...right?
