Yeah, you knew this one was coming. Arguably considered the best of the saga and a fan-favorite, this entry introduced some slightly new mythology. This is 1997's Night of the Living Dummy III.
BREAKDOWN:
From IMDb:
When their dad brings a ventriloquist's dummy home, Trina and her brother Dan and their cousin, Zane think it's just another dummy but they realize that Slappy is much more then that.
MY THOUGHTS:
Like The Haunted Mask and Stay Out of the Basement, this is a nostalgic one for me, mostly because my little sisters watched this on repeat for an entire summer back in the day. Good memories and good times. And, yes, that's a younger Hayden Christensen, before the Star Wars fame!
TRAILER:
No trailer...but here's the original TV airing from July 20, 1997 (complete with commercials)!
