==Biography==
Kris and Lindy are twin sisters that share everything and usually don't get along with each other. One day, as the twins were cycling in their bikes as request of their mother, Lindy found a abandoned ventriloquist dummy, which she named Slappy, and quickly became popular with it,being asked to make acts in birthday parties with her dummy. Kris got very jealous, and after some arguing, her father made a surprise by giving her a ventriloquist dummy, like Lindy's. It looked alike Lindy's, except for its red hair, and Kris named him Mr. Wood.
Enraged because Kris always copycats her and do everything just like her, Lindy pulled mean pranks on Kris that made her believe that the dummy was alive, such as being rude to people. However, after she reveled it to Kris, Kris tried to avoid talk to her, and found a strange note on Mr. Wood's front pocket, which had the words "Karru Marri Odonna Loma Molonu Karrano", which read aloud, and thougth that she saw him blinking. An act in school goes terribly wrong with Mr. Wood sptiing a strange, green fluid that looked like vomit in the audience, and Kris is expelled of school.
She does her best to make her sister believe her, and she only does so, when the dummy attacks them both. After a fight, Mr. Wood says that he was brought back to life by the magical words Kris read and now they were her slaves. Their parents don't believe a word of anything the girls said, and after she and Lindy trapped Mr. Wood in a suitcase and burying him alive in it, the girls think it all is over. The doll, however cassually reappears in their kitchen, saying they disobeyed him, and now, their loved ones should pay, and then he proceeded to strangle Barky, the family's dog. The girls attack him, determined to end this for good, and chase him through the street, with the pursuit going to a abandoned house field where there were steamrollers were demolishing the house. Kris tried to throw Mr. Wood onto a steamroller, but he dodged her. He himself, however, due to running while looking back to Kris and laughing at her, brought up his own defeat, knocking on a steamroller, pushed to the ground, and smashed by it, before the driver of the steamroller could stop it. A strange green mist came out of the dummy's destroyed body. Although the girls were happy with his demise, when they came home, they found out Slappy was alive, and he asked if Mr. Wood was gone, also saying he though he'd never leave
==Trivia==
*Despite being one of the most popular books in the series, Night of the Living Dummy was never adapted to the live action series, and Lindy and Kris never had a live action counterpart.
*In the graphic novel adaptation of the book, Kris has green hair.
*It's never revealed what happened to Kris and Lindy after Slappy revealed himself to be alive. The original book is narrated in third person, which is not a good sign for Goosebumps protagonists. However, in the second book, Slappy is no longer alive and has a rotten sandwich crammed inside his head, suggesting the sisters managed to defeat Slappy with the sandwich.
