Scareful What You Wish For is the 2nd episode of The Nightmare Room TV Series.
Synopsis[]
Dylan is moving into his sister's old room and packing away all his toys from over the years. Then, he is approached by a mysterious younger boy who calls himself Buddy and acts as if Dylan already knows him...and seems responsible for his best friend being slipped an allergen (strawberry jelly) in his sandwich. Buddy looks and sounds exactly like Dylan's old doll Buddy, and Dylan's other good friend is attacked. The doll continues to approach and torment Dylan, not accepting that this part of Dylan's life won't include him.
Trivia[]
- This is the first of four episodes in the series to not be based on one of the books.
- According to writer Naomi Jenzen, she submitted the concept of this one, not knowing they were supposed to pull stories from the book series. However, they loved it so much that they made it anyway and this was likely what lead to them making the other original episodes.
- Naomi Janzen previously wrote two episodes of Are You Afraid of the Dark?.
- Early on, Dylan throws away a toy called a Megamorpher, a clear parody of Transformers. Amusingly, Shia Lebouf went to star in the live action Transformers films.
