18 Upcoming Villains Who Will Be More Interesting Than The Heroes
8. Slappy The Dummy - Goosebumps
The Hero: A fictionalized version of Goosebumps author R.L. Stine, who keeps his most famous monsters looked away in magical manuscripts.
The Villain: Perhaps his most notorious creation, and the leader of all of the monsters, is Slappy the living ventriloquist dummy.
Why The Villain Will Be More Interesting: Frankly, this movie promises to be something very weird. Having Jack Black play an imagined version of the very real Stine is no doubt going to produce a fresh character. That said, Slappy is perhaps the most notorious villain in the entire Goosebumps library. Considering the variety and longevity of the book series, that’s really saying something.
Ventriloquist dummies justifiably freak a lot of people out. They’re not real, but they look real enough that you could believe them to be living. That’s the exact case with Slappy who will probably go on to terrify children’s nightmares long after they’ve forgotten about the heroic Stine. Who can forget that famous moment in the television series when they look back to see that kid’s head spin all the way around? One thing's for sure, and it's that Slappy is the one is going to be remembered from this movie.
