The soundtrack to Jed's video is a remix of the opening theme played with an organ.
One of four episodes based on a Goosebumps novel which was a sequel, without the original being adapted for television. The others were the two Living Dummy stories which followed this one, and Return of the Mummy. The original Night of the Living Dummy book was never filmed as an episode, most likely because Slappy was not the antagonist of the original book
Kerry Duff and Shadia Simmons also appeared together as sisters in another program. They also appeared as sisters Nicki and A.J. in the Are You Afraid of the Dark? episode "The Tale of the Night Nurse".
This episode marks the first time Ron Stefaniuk did both the puppetry and the voice of Slappy the dummy. He also did the puppetry for the Night of the Living Dummy III episodes, however, Cal Dodd provided Slappy's voice for these episodes as Stefaniuk was unavailable.
Caterina Scorsone (Sara Kramer) later played Jessica Walters in the only Goosebumps mini-series, "Chillogy".
