Plot Summary
Fourteen-year-old Dylan Pierce is trying to put his childhood behind him, to move on. However, he soon learns that some things just won't stay put, as he soon begins to be stalked by a young, strange little boy, who looks like an exact replica of his favorite childhood doll, named Buddy. Buddy doesn't like the fact that Dylan would like to have nothing to do with him anymore, and slowly begins to ruin Dylan's life and nobody ever believes Dylan. However, Dylan is in the greatest of dangers when he is home alone with the doll. Dylan tells Buddy that he has grown up and has moved on and they are no longer freinds. Buddy accepts this and turns back into a doll. Back at the eighth grade graduation party, Dylan's freind Beth and his mother at watching an old home movie of Dylan's 6th birthday party when they realize that Dylan was actually telling the truth. A birthday magician accidently put a spell on Buddy to make him alive and to make he and Dylan freinds forever. They race home to try and stop Buddy but when they get there they discover that Buddy has tricked Dylan and has turned him into a doll. The episode ends with their terrified screams as they stare at the Buddy doll and Dylan doll. A voice over from R.L. Stine goes" Childhood can be an imaginable time when birthday wishes really do come true. But we eventually grow up and put our toys away, that's what Dylan Pierce try to do if only he stored them somewhere else and not in.....THE NIGHTMARE ROOM.".
