Karru Marri Odonna Loma Molonu Karrano!
Hello there, slaves. You and I are one now. Did you really think you had seen the last of me? Oh, but I always survive. I was created that way.
Oh, that's right. Some of you might not even know who I am? Well, since you've been brain-dead for most of the series, lemme give you a recap (those smart ones in the audience may skip this next part).
My name is Slappy. Slappy the Dummy. But Rule Number One about me? Never, EVER call me a dummy! Or else YOU'D be a dummy for doing that!
But that's what I am. A living, walking, talking, stalking ventriloquist dummy. You must be wondering how I'm able to come to life in the first place with the magic words.
Well…you want the truth? Let's see if you can handle it…
It all began nearly 200 years ago in the 1800s. I was created by my papa, the greatest dark sorcerer in history: The greatly misunderstood Ephraim Darkwell!
What? Who did you THINK I meant? I'll get to HIM later.
But I wasn't the only one that the toymaker carved from the wood of a coffin he cursed. I have three brothers and a sister. Mr. Wood, Wally, Snappy, and Goldie. You might know Mr. Wood (heh heh) as the dummy who stole my spotlight in the book I first starred in (I've resented him ever since), and Wally from that one book where I was forced to perform…*shudder*...GOOD DEEDS!
Well, I'm NO good, you here?! I'm pure evil and rotten to the core! I make kids scream and cry, and I LOVE it! But where was I? Oh right. We'll get to Snappy and Goldie later.
So, it turns out Darkwell had been cursed by this space squid wizard (a squizard) called Fier (or Fear, whatever works), who wants to drown everything in existence in chaos! That's basically all omniversus (I won't explain that for now. It would melt your walnut-sized brain).
Darkwell tried to disobey, and got PUNISHED for it. Poor Papa…I had such high expectations for him. But he DID have an apprentice. Another dark sorcerer called Kanduu. We had quite some fun together.
My sinister siblings and I traveled the world with him for about a century. And as it turns out, I had Darkwell's soul within me that entered after he died. Thus, I possessed his power. Kanduu trained me as my ONLY master. And my power began growing with every passing moment! I could survive even death itself and take on a ghostly form, and my magic was SO powerful that I could reform my physical body and come back to life!
But Darkwell managed to ensure that there was only ONE thing that could make sure I would be gone for good. If I fail to cause chaos for an entire day, when the sun goes down, a more powerful incantation that's said during then will make me fall asleep…FOREVER!
Thankfully, that incantation has been lost to time. Besides, making trouble is what I do! It's a piece of poisonous cake!
Throughout our travels, Kanduu taught us all we now know of the monster world. Vampires that could be a real pain in the neck. Werewolves that could tear you to shreds! Ghosts that could haunt and possess you! Mummies, aliens, cryptids, demons, kaijus, unicorns, dragons, robots, time travel, killers, clowns, superheroes, ninjas, Cyberspace, OH MY!
Anyway, in the 1920s, Kanduu met a man called Franz Maher. He would be my first human owner. He wanted to be a ventriloquist. So Kanduu gave me and my siblings to him. He said we were the best dummies in the world, and we would change his career forever.
But then, on the night before his opening act, Franz read the words that bring me and my family to life. And the performance was greatly enjoyable…for me.
I hurled every insult at Franz AND the audience, making sure that HE was the puppet and I was the master. He was the first life I had ruined. But my work was far from done.
Franz returned home a broken man, only for Kanduu to reveal his TRUE intentions. He planned on making Franz his successor and leaving us dummies with him! All to ensure that Fear would succeed in his plans. Franz refused, and Kanduu simply ordered us to kill him.
Unfortunately, after Kanduu fled, Franz read the words again to send us to sleep and burned the paper slip they were on so that we would never hurt anyone ever again. He failed. I easily survived and revived my siblings, resuming our campaign of chaos throughout the years.
That's when I encountered one of my earliest enemies: The Van Helsing family. Yes, THOSE Van Helsings. A secret family line of supernatural protectors, nearly as old as I was! Defenders of humans and monsters alike, and practitioners of both magic AND science, they thwarted my plans to take over the world time and time again!
When I tried to control the Kraken itself with the Heart of Poseidon, they shattered the sapphire jewel into four fragments! When I raised zombies from their graves, they just blasted the ghouls to kingdom come! AND when I revived the Gill-Man as my mind-controlled slave, they used mermaids, MERMAIDS, to snap him out of it! Oooo, they've been a NASTY chip on my lower lip!
And they are only the FIRST names on my list of hated enemies! The next one came about 10 years after I overthrew Kit Katzman and transformed his sanctuary of New Transylvania into my own home base called Horrorland. This man would tell a LOT of scary stories, mine among them!
His name? Robert Lawrence Stine. The very first human to actually seal me, ME, in a magical book called a Mystic Manuscript! And he wasn't even a VAN HELSING!
That made Slappy VERY unhappy. And Slappy ALWAYS has his revenge!
But it turns out that, while I've been disobeying the Octo-God to take over the world myself, he's got ANOTHER herald in the form of Kit's old rival, now transformed into the Grim Reaper itself! Karloff Mennis, aka The Menace!
He was so terrible that even I was scared stiff of him! Because he KILLED people! I don't do that (Well, except for that one Van Helsing, Gabriel, who was just asking for it)! Fear sent him to keep an eye on me from this hellish amusement park stationed in the demonic dimension Nether: Panic Park!
And the Menace HATED how Stine was getting in the way, so he just yanked him away after an "accident" in the city of Dark Falls…
Meanwhile, Jack Black, a buddy of Stine, ended up being cursed by the Menace and began turning into this thing called The Ultimate. Every single monster all mashed into one! My kinda minion! Too bad the Ultimate can NEVER be controlled…
To hide his monstrous form, Jack donned Robert's old trench coat and hat, calling himself Mr. Black. Real mysterious, that guy. And that FACE! Eugh…
Anyway, my troubles weren't over yet. I figured I'd take small baby steps after taking over Horrorland and assembling an army of monsters. Every single one from all of R.L. Stine's books! To take over the world, I'd need to focus on a more…vulnerable area. A small town would do the trick. And I would've gotten away with it, too. If it weren't for those meddling kids!
In 2015, my invasion of Madison, Delaware was halted when, despite me burning all of the Mystic Manuscripts, a boy named Zach Cooper teamed up with Mr. Black to type up a NEW Mystic Manuscript and suck all us monsters back inside! All but one, a ghost girl called Hannah Fairchild, who hadn't done any evil deeds despite being supernatural. But no book could hold me! I broke free again, and soon I learned that no matter what I threw at them, those stupid magic books could NEVER be destroyed! At least Zach, Champ, Hannah, and Black didn't know either!
Then, in 2018, I tried getting revenge in Zach's old home of New York, striking a small town called Wardenclyffe. I managed to trick two kids called Sonny Quinn and Sam Carter, but they and Sonny's big sister Sarah Quinn foiled my plans to use the Tesla Tower to amplify my dark magic and bring Halloween to life! I gave Mr. Black a test of his own medicine, but he managed to break free of that book too! I hate it when they do that.
That's when I remembered something. By now, R.L. Stine had a grandson. Dylan. He was searching for his missing grandpa, but the Menace said that the kid could prove to be a major threat to BOTH of our plans. I had no choice but to take him OUT.
But when every attempt failed, I decided to give him a bit of karma: By enchanting his grandfather's journal into a Corrupted Mystic Manuscript and robbing him of all his memories! I sucked several more kids into twelve others and had my four best minions, Curly, Left, Righty, and Slim, guard each of them.
As for where Dylan was searching? The small town of Hollowville in Ohio. It was here that I met my greatest adversaries after Fier summoned me back to life.
Their names are Cory and Lisa Waldhorn. Founders of the Midnight Society. Once a detective club dedicated to figuring out all the mysteries in their new town, these two high school freshmen (more like Fresh MEAT!) eventually evolved into a group of monster hunters with a monster army of their very own!
Eventually, they figured out where Stine was. But they needed to go through Horrorland to get to him. After besting most of my monsters, they freed the kids in the Corrupted Mystic Manuscripts, freed Dylan and restored his memories, easily beat my more powerful reinforcement monsters I got from the Menace, and even defeated my seven Elite monsters! No matter who I allied with, such as King Robert's Army from Medieval Britannia, Dr. Ritter and his mutant marine minions, Commander Cosmoron and the Zoron Empire (I call them Body Squeezers), and the Masked Mutant and supervillains from the Comic Book Dimension, the Midnight Society kept kicking their butts and made me very VERY unhappy!
Once they entered Horrorland, I did everything I could to stop them and the Very Special Guests from going to Panic Park, whether to find R.L. Stine or Escape Horrorland. But they were determined. They even defeated Horrifico, Madison Storm, and even the Great Gargantua I call Gigi!
But once they were in Panic Park, they learned the truth: The Menace sought to summon Fear into their dimension by using a device powered by his Fear Meter. With terrified humans as living batteries! And Nether would be destroyed in the process.
The demons HATED that, especially the Seven Deadly Sins and their king that the Menace imprisoned. Not wanting anyone ELSE to take my rightful place on Earth's throne, and since I was fed up with obeying the Menace, I struck a truth with the good guys and we took the battle to The Menace. I fought him as his equal, and with my help, R.L. Stine was able to figure out how to stop the Menace: Laughter.
But it was the Menace that had the last laugh. By casting one last spell, he summoned forth a Mystic Maw of Madness to allow Fier to emerge in our dimension anyway to corrupt the UNIVERSE!
Luckily, there were these celestial guardians called Omni, and they defended both the aspects of the universe (Reality, Space, and Time) and the aspects of sentient life (Mind, Body, and Soul). They managed to defeat Fier by having the whole UNIVERSE rewind back to the very beginning via a Cosmic Rewind!
Thankfully, my history was unaltered. But since I failed to take over Horrorland, I had to start over from SCRATCH! Thankfully, I still had him and Grimm, plus a bunch of my old friends.
I even had ANOTHER accomplice. Jonathan Chiller. A man who only wanted to prove himself as a hunter. But even though R.L. Stine foiled his plans and made him sane again, Byron the Story-Keeper informed the Midnight Society that I was coming for them. So they brought the fight to me and my monsters.
Although I managed to adopt some kids for me and my wife Mary-Ellen, those brats managed to defeat every predator I sent their way! They even defeated my Frightening Four and KILLED The Haunted Mask! I know I can bring things back from the dead and all, but do you have ANY idea how hard it is to bring INANIMATE stuff back?! It's not like I can make another mask!
Their fight with the four took about four years, and once the Waldhorns were in their college freshman years, that's when things got serious. Not only did I meet up with those idiot Van Helsings again, who I at first didn't recognize, but I also met THEIR nemesis: The infamous Count Dracula.
And he wasn't called the God of Monsters for nothing! That vampire had dark magic that eclipsed even MINE, and he even KILLED me! He planned to use these seven stones called Moonstones that Fier created long ago to bring about the Eternal Night. In short, the end of the human world as they knew it!
I had even USED one of those stones to revive the dead that I mentioned earlier. And despite the goody-two-shoes' efforts, Drac managed to collect them all. And when midnight struck, BLAM! The moon went from green to red! Man, I wish I was there…
But there can only be ONE King of Horror! And despite all odds, even when he turned into the Ultimate himself, Dracula was defeated once Van Helsing found a…creative way to turn on the lights.
Fier managed to revive me with a warning: This was my last chance to corrupt the world to allow him to emerge in this dimension. If I screwed up AGAIN, he would NOT be bringing me back. Drac even did a number on me, too! It took me TEN YEARS to get back to full power! And I had lost all control over all the monsters I used to command. So Plan B? I just created COPIES of my friends! It's like they never even left at all! They're the PERFECT slaves!
During then as well, I converted my old base of Shock Street into a brand new Horrorland of my very own! I managed to lure two sisters, Mia and Ginny, into it for old times sake, but a new Horror called Irk turned traitor and helped them escape! I wouldn't be surprised if she was Byron's runt…
Curly and I tried going after them, but Cory easily beat us like we were NOTHING! He even came across my new plan to combine my magic with Cyberspace technology to match the technique that the Van Helsings and Midnight Society did so long ago. This powerful Haunted Phone would spread a virus that would infect all kinds of tech, one download at a time!
That plan was thwarted too. He let his sister (now a teacher) know of this, and despite the Creeps planning to use the phone themselves for their OWN plans of world domination, Curly and I kicked those Creeps in the tail! We even beat Lisa as well, but thanks to this new teenager Mitra Salar and her crush Weather Chan (Bleh!), that phone was bricked!
So I fell back to a backup plan of mine. If I couldn't control a town, I'd just rule one single building and spread it from there! And I'd start with the high school!
Of course, Lisa wasn't having any of that! And speaking of a crush, that's exactly what happened to ME when I was kicked into some old rickety bleachers! It took me a while to come back from that, but the timing couldn't be more perfect!
Sure, Lucy and Dina's baby girl had her inner monster come out a bit earlier, but Grady also got put down like a bad dog! Oh, how I LOVE adding insult to injury!
The mayor of Hollowville had been arrested, and through a game of Be Afraid, I emerged the winner and became King of Horrorville! Thus, all my friends and I transformed the entire town into a monster paradise and where WE ruled the night! And much like Horrorland, I was able to mimic my Eternal Night spell to make the sun never shine down on the town! And without the Midnight Society around as its main protectors, the city fell to me in minutes!
Finally, after all this time, I've finally done it! I've taken over the whole town! And soon, the whole world will follow! And there is NOTHING anyone can do to stop me!
After all…this is MY world now! You only scream in it! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
