About
Mr. Wood is a fictional character in the Goosebumps children's series by R.L. Stine. He is the primary villain of the first Night of the Living Dummy book. Mr. Wood is a ventriloquist's dummy that comes to life when the words "Karru marri odonna loma molonu karrano", found on a sheet of paper in his pocket, are read aloud. According to his rival (and brother), Slappy, those words mean, "You and I are one now." After coming to life, Mr. Wood, like Slappy, spends most of his time searching for a slave to serve him (in this case, Kris and Lindy). Mr. Wood is shown to be a rude, sadistic control freak who likes to pull mean pranks and frames the main protagonists for them. He is defeated at the end of the first book, thusly allowing Slappy to take over for the rest of the series. Unlike his brother, he is never brought back over the course of the series.When Night of the Living Dummy was re-released in a special Horrorland edition, bonus material included with the book revealed that Mr. Wood and Slappy were carved from coffin wood, and that the coffin wood they were made from was cursed. Mr. Wood's destruction made Slappy twice as evil, and a thousand times ruder.
It has also been revealed that Mr. Wood is the protagonist/avatar on the EnterHorrorLand.com game site. It has also been speculated that since Mr. Wood's death altered Slappy's personality, it is likely that Slappy may have been a kind and friendly dummy, or at least, not as mean as he is after Mr. Wood's death.
