Storyline

With his sister going off to college, Dylan is moving into her 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 appears responsible for his best friend's being slipped an allergen 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

Watch carefully as Ryan pushes Dylan backwards - the angle of the camera reveals that there is no one directly behind Dylan, meaning that Buddy appeared out of nowhere before being seen for the first time after Dylan runs into him a second later.

Quotes

Ryan: Hey, how dumb is that? Being allergic to strawberries. Why couldn't I be allergic to broccoli? Or math?
