Sure, let's abandon another character who's done nothing worse than complain to be devoured by the living dead. Nothing bad ever happens to the self-centered traitorous rear end in a top hat character in horror movies. I'm sure we'll be perfectly fine!
quote:
“Later, Kim!” you call. With a burst of speed, you dash down the trail.
You look fearfully over your shoulder. The zombie has stopped chasing you. It’s bending over Kim.
Poor Kim.
Now she’s really got something to complain about!
But you’ve got your own problems. The main one being, it’s five minutes to midnight and no campsite is in sight.
Four minutes...
You keep running. Still no sign of the camp.
Three minutes...
You can barely see the trail. You aim your flashlight down the path. But the batteries go dead!
It’s midnight. No way are you going to get that medal now.
Besides which, you’re alone in a forest full of zombies.
You’re lost. The only thing you can do is lay down your sleeping bag and wait for morning to come.
quote:
You unroll your sleeping bag. This is fine, you tell yourself. I’ll just find the campsite in the morning.
If you’re still alive in the morning.
You eat a candy bar. Then you snuggle into your sleeping bag. You’ll have to stay awake all night. You don’t dare fall asleep. If you do, zombies could sneak up on you.
You lie in the sleeping bag, staring at the moon.
But gradually, your eyes flutter closed…
When you open them again, everything is pitch-dark.
You try to sit up. But something is wrapped around you. You can’t see or hear! You scream like a maniac.
Then you realize:
You zipped yourself into your sleeping bag, dummy!
When you finally struggle out of the sleeping bag, sunlight floods your eyes. It’s a beautiful morning.
But the woods are still full of zombies, you think. And Kim is out there by herself, where you left her.
You’ve got to go back for her!
When you reach the clearing, there’s no sign of her.
But you notice something you missed last night.
quote:
Half hidden behind a bush is a wooden sign. You brush the leaves out of the way to read: CAMP AHEAD.
You’re back at Camp Running Leaf!
You didn’t much like the camp. But you can’t wait to get back now! You follow the sign up a small hill, then gaze down.
In the valley below is a huge camp. A big sign in the front says WELCOME TO CAMP PENDLETON!
Camp Pendleton? Have you made a mistake?
No! you realize. Camp Pendleton was the camp you were supposed to attend in the first place! It was the camp Uncle Ed promised to take you to. Going to Camp Running Leaf was a mistake – a big mistake!
You rush down the hill to Camp Pendleton. Forget about Running Leaf, the Outdoors Medal, Kim, and the zombies.
You just hope you’re not too late for breakfast!
THE END
...Huh. We actually are perfectly fine. Apparently Stine really doesn't like people who slack off on group projects.

Okay, let's try not being an rear end in a top hat for a change.
quote:
You can’t let Kim face a flesh-eating zombie alone. You turn back and grab her hands.
“Come on!” you cry, pulling her up. “We’ll lose the zombie in the woods.”
Kim leans on you. The two of you stumble into the trees. You hear the zombie crashing through the trees.
“FOOOO!” it moans. “UURRGGHH!”
Quickly, you switch directions.
And then – the woods are silent.
Where did the zombie go? Did you lose it?
Or is it laying some kind of trap for you?
You sniff the air. Is it your imagination? Or can you catch a faint whiff of rotting flesh?
“Hurry,” you urge Kim. You drag her along.
The rotten smell grows stronger.
And then you crash right into a tall, dark form.
quote:
“A zombie!” Kim shrieks.
“What are you talking about?” a familiar voice cries.
It’s Coach Krump! You practically faint with relief.
“Where have you been?” the coach demands. “It’s almost midnight.”
You start to tell him about the zombies, but the coach waves you off. “Camp’s just over this ridge,” he tells you. “Didn’t you see the sign?” He points to a white sign that says CAMP-OUT.
You follow him to the campsite. The other kids are already in their sleeping bags, snoring.
“Isn’t there any food? I’m starving,” Kim complains.
“You missed the cookout,” the coach replies. He doesn’t seem to care that you’re both hungry. “It’s time to sleep.”
“How about our medals?” you ask. “We’re the only ones who got a bone from Zombie Cave.”
“We’ll talk about it tomorrow!” Coach Krump snaps. “Now turn in.”
What a grouch!
You crawl into your sleeping bag. You’re just dozing off when a noise awakens you. You glance across the campsite…
And feel your heart stop in fear.
quote:
Someone is bending over the sleeping Tracy.
Aiming a gun at her!
You’re about to shout a warning. Then you see something that makes you laugh.
The gun squirts liquid on her.
It’s only a water gun!
But Tracy sits bolt upright, screaming. Then her eyes film over. Her face seems to shrivel. She moans softly. “Uurrgghh...”
You’ve heard that moan before.
Tracy has turned into a zombie!
Something in that water gun is transforming the living into the living dead!
The person with the water gun creeps over to Ted’s sleeping bag. He squirts the liquid in Ted’s face.
Ted wakes with a moan. He rises, hands outstretched.
This is awful! All your fellow hikers are becoming zombies!
You’d better wake Coach Krump. Maybe he’ll know what to do.
Quietly, you unzip your sleeping bag. You crawl around the campsite to where Coach is sleeping.
But his sleeping bag is empty!
quote:
Coach Krump is gone!
You glance back at the person with the water gun. He’s now bent over Kim. The embers of the campfire give off just enough light for you to see his face.
It’s Coach Krump!
Coach Krump is the one making your friends into zombies.
And now he’s moving toward your sleeping bag!
You’ve got to get out of this nightmare! You scuttle toward the woods. But a voice calls out, “UUURGHHH!”
It’s Kim. Only Kim is now a zombie. She stands by the fire. Her eyes are lifeless. Flies buzz around her putrid flesh.
She points straight at you. “FOOO!”
Time to boogie.
You zig through the trees. You zag through the bushes.
In the distance, you hear Coach Krump shouting, “Head for Camp Running Leaf! We’ll get the rest of them there!”
You’d like to warn the campers. Except there’s no way you can find your way back to camp. Unless you follow the zombies.
It seems risky. Maybe you should just run away.
To follow the zombies to camp, turn to PAGE 135.
To run as far from the zombies as possible, go to PAGE 56.

Well, leaving our friends to be zombified already worked for us once. Let's give it another shot!
quote:
Keep running, you say to yourself. Sooner or later, you’re bound to find the camp. Or a road. Or a town.
Or something besides zombies!
You crash through the dark woods. All you care about is escaping.
Finally, you spot something white ahead. A sign.
It reads: CAMP-OUT.
Oh, no! You’re back at the camp-out site! You ran in big circles!
You stumble to a halt, panting.
SNAP! A branch breaks.
Then you feel breathing on your neck.
Someone – or something – is right behind you!
It’s too late to hide. Slowly, you turn around.
quote:
You can’t believe who is standing behind you.
“Uncle Ed!” you cry.
“At last!” Uncle Ed says. He’s carrying a flashlight. By its glow, you can see that he looks tired and worried. “I’ve been searching for you for hours!”
“Am I glad to see you!” you exclaim. The whole incredible story pours out of you. About the zombies. And Coach Krump.
“I’m sorry,” Uncle Ed says when you finish talking. “I never should have brought you on this mission.”
“Mission?” You stare at your uncle in confusion.
Uncle Ed glances around to make sure no one is listening. “You see, I’m with the X-Factors,” he whispers. “It’s a secret security organization. We investigate unnatural events. On the way to Camp Pendleton, I made a phone call, remember?”
You nod, dazed. The X-Factors?
“That was when I got the assignment to investigate Camp Running Leaf. There were rumors the Cemetery Man was there.”
“The Cemetery Man?” you exclaim. “But Coach Krump said there was no such person as the Cemetery Man.”
Uncle Ed shakes his head. “He was lying,” he tells you. “Coach Krump is the Cemetery Man!”
quote:
“Coach Krump is the Cemetery Man?” you gasp.
What does it all mean?
Uncle Ed lays his hand on your shoulder. “Listen carefully. We don’t have much time,” he warns. “You see, the Cemetery Man is a chemist. He – well, to put it simply, he developed a chemical that will bring the dead back to life. The thing is, his formula has a horrible side effect. One drop on the skin will turn living humans temporarily into zombies!”
You remember Coach Krump’s water gun. And the beaker in the cemetery. They must have held the zombie-making chemical!
You stare at Uncle Ed in horror. “But why?” you blurt. “Why is he making all these zombies?”
“He’s creating an army,” Uncle Ed explains. “The zombies are completely under his control. We think he plans to take over the world!”
“He sounds completely insane,” you whisper.
“He is,” Uncle Ed agrees. “And it’s my job to stop him.” He gazes solemnly at you. “But I need your help.”
quote:
“I’m in,” you reply instantly. “But how can we stop the Cemetery Man?”
“The first thing is, we’ve got to get the zombie-making chemical from him,” Uncle Ed replies. “As I mentioned, the side effect on humans is temporary. If they don’t get a fresh dose of the chemical every day for a month, the effect will wear off.”
It will wear off? What a relief!
That means there’s hope for the other hikers.
Even Kim!
Uncle Ed continues. “Here’s the plan. One of us will pretend to be a zombie. The pretend-zombie will distract Krump. Then the other will take the water gun from him.”
“Uh – okay,” you say doubtfully.
To tell the truth, the plan sounds kind of lame to you.
But you don’t have any better ideas.
The next question is: Who gets to play the zombie?
If you want to act as a zombie, turn to PAGE 114.
If you want to go for the water gun, turn to PAGE 45.

Okay, I'm back from vacation! Let's go steal a water gun!
quote:
“You be the zombie,” you tell Uncle Ed. “After all, you’re the secret agent.”
You and Uncle Ed track the Cemetery Man and his army to a clearing near Camp Running Leaf.
“Hide behind this tree until I give you the signal,” Uncle Ed whispers.
Then he lurches into the middle of the clearing, moaning.
You peek around the tree. Isn’t Uncle Ed getting a little too close to the zombie campers?
Before you can warn him, Samantha darts over and bites him on the leg. “Fooo,” she moans.
Uncle Ed shudders. His eyes instantly glaze over.
His skin turns ashy and starts to curl away from his bones.
Guess what?
He’s not pretending to be a zombie any longer.
Uncle Ed spins and points to your hiding place. “Foooo!” he moans.
The zombies stalk toward you. Horrified, you turn and run.
But before you get very far, you feel something wet hit the back of your neck.
Oh, nooooo...
quote:
You turn around.
Coach Krump is standing there, water gun in hand.
Okay, so you’re a zombie.
As it turns out, though, being a zombie is not the worst thing in the world. True, within a month, most of your skin rots away. Your teeth and hair fall out. You lose all of your toes.
But no one makes any cracks about it.
That’s because, thanks to the Cemetery Man and his army, everyone else in the world has also been turned into a zombie.
And all you zombies live – uh, that is, don’t live – happily ever after!
THE END
Uncle Ed is not a very good secret agent. No wonder he has to send kids to do his investigating for him!

quote:
“I’ll be the zombie,” you volunteer.
Uncle Ed nods. “I’m counting on you,” he tells you.
You and Uncle Ed follow the zombies’ trail through the dark woods. It is almost dawn before you catch up with the hideous creatures. They’re on a ridge overlooking Camp Running Leaf.
You peer out from behind a tree trunk. The zombie kids are sitting around a small campfire. If their eyes weren’t open, you’d swear they were all dead.
They are dead, you remind yourself.
Coach Krump is pacing back and forth. He drones, “First we will take over Camp Running Leaf. Next we’ll conquer...” It sounds like he’s addressing the troops! you think with disgust.
Uncle Ed taps you on the shoulder. “Go,” he mouths.
You swallow hard. Here goes nothing, you say to yourself. You step into the flickering light of the campfire.
quote:
It’s still dark, so the zombies can’t see you clearly. You step out from behind the tree.
“UUUURRRGGHH!” you moan in your best zombie imitation.
“So the last hiker is now one of us,” Krump gloats.
“Fooo,” you moan. You wonder for a moment if there’s an Oscar for the Best Imitation of an Undead Fiend.
If there were, you wouldn’t win it. Coach Krump peers suspiciously at you. “You look a little too healthy,” he says. “To be on the safe side, I’d better spray you again.”
Spray you? Your eyes go wide with horror.
Coach Krump raises his water gun.
One drop and you’re dead – worse than dead!
But Uncle Ed darts from behind the tree and grabs the gun!
“It’s all over, Cemetery Man!” Uncle Ed calls. “You’ll never turn another kid into a zombie!”
“Nooooo!” Coach Krump shrieks.
The two men struggle for the water gun. You watch helplessly as they sway back and forth. Is Uncle Ed winning?
Suddenly, liquid jets out from the water gun.
And hits...
quote:
Uncle Ed turns around. His eyes are bulging.
Coach Krump also turns around. His eyes are...
Dead.
Coach Krump has become a zombie!
He moans, “Fooo!” and heads straight for you.
“Get out of the way!” Uncle Ed shouts to you. He holds up the water gun. “I’m the master now, Krump. Do my bidding.”
Krump turns to stare at Uncle Ed, drooling.
You hold your breath. Your heart pounds.
Can Uncle Ed really control the zombies?
quote:
Coach Krump wheels around and stands obediently before Uncle Ed. The zombie kids follow.
You let out your breath.
Yes! It worked!
The next day, Uncle Ed drives you to Camp Pendleton. The real Camp Pendleton.
“Maybe this time I’ll win a medal,” you say as you climb out of the car.
“Maybe, kid. Oh, before I forget – I have something for you.” Uncle Ed hands you a slip of pale green paper.
“What’s this?” you ask, mystified.
“It’s a check,” Uncle Ed replies. “Didn’t I tell you? There’s a reward for capturing the Cemetery Man.”
You peer down at the check. Your eyes bulge.
You’ve never seen so many zeros!
As it turns out, you don’t win any medals at Camp Pendleton. But you don’t care. Because now you can buy all the medals you want!

GIVE YOURSELF GOOSEBUMPS #20: TOY TERROR: BATTERIES INCLUDED
quote:
“Hey, Mom! Look at this! I’m a winner!” you shout.
You race into the house with a letter that’s just arrived in the mail. It came in a strange black envelope. Addressed to you. The words HASLEY TOY COMPANY are printed on the back.
“Look, Mom!” You wave the letter in the air. “I won!”
“That’s nice.” Your mother is reading the newspaper. She doesn’t look up.
“Mom. For real! I won the Grand Prize!” you announce happily.
“That’s great, sweetie.” You can tell she’s not really listening.
“I get my choice,” you go on. “A tour of the Hasley Toy Factory, or their biggest and best toy – the Annihilator 3000. It’s this totally cool robot. It’s as big as I am!”
“The Annihilator what?” She looks up. You’ve got her attention now. “When did you enter this contest?” she asks.
Hey. That’s weird, you think.
“I didn’t,” you admit.
Your mom looks concerned. “How did they get your name?” she wants to know.
quote:
You glance down at the envelope in your hand. It suddenly seems creepy that it’s black.
“I don’t know how they got my name,” you admit.
Your mom thinks for a minute. “Maybe it was that electronic game we bought last year for your birthday. Remember? We sent your name in on the registration.”
“That must be it,” you say, sighing with relief. “Isn’t it great that I won?”
“Oh, sweetheart.” Your mom pats your shoulder. “Don’t get your hopes up too high. Sometimes these contests are fakes. They say you’ve won, but then there’s a catch: You have to buy magazines or something.”
“No way!” you protest. “The letter doesn’t say anything about magazines.”
You hurry to the phone and call the special number in the letter. You dial it. A man answers. A man with a scratchy voice.
“Hello,” he says, addressing you by name. “I’ve been waiting for your call.”
quote:
“Which prize do you want?” the man asks.
You hadn’t really thought about it yet.
And then it hits you. The man knew your name. But how?
A shiver goes down your spine.
You shake your head and try to concentrate. So he knew your name. Big deal. Not every kid on the planet has just won a huge prize!
“Hello? Are you still there?” the man calls.
You’ve got to say something. Which prize do you want? The letter says that if you take the tour of the Halsey Toy Factory, you’ll get a free video game too.
But the Annihilator 3000 is the best toy the company makes!
“Uh, if I choose the tour of the toy factory, can I bring a friend?” you ask.
“Sure,” he replies. “So what’s it going to be?”
If you want to tour the Hasley Toy Factory, turn to PAGE 44.
If you want the Annihilator 3000, turn to PAGE 69.

quote:
You have to have the Annihilator.
It looks so cool on TV. It’s as tall as you. It’s black and purple. With eyes that light up and lasers in its hands. It walks. It runs. The TV commercials say the Annihilator is “totally bent on destruction.”
It even comes with a set of little spacemen – which it can destroy. Then you can put the spacemen back together.
Best of all, you can program the Annihilator to do just about anything. “Anything except your homework!” the ad says.
“I’ll take the Annihilator 3000,” you answer quickly.
“Great!” the man replies. “It’s too late to get it to you tomorrow. But we’ll deliver it on Monday. Got that?”
“Sure!” you declare. “Thanks!”
“My pleasure,” the man answers with a strange chuckle. “Good-bye... and good luck.”
“Wait!” you exclaim. “How did you know my name? How did I win this prize, anyway?”
But the telephone line has gone dead.
quote:
Weird, you think. He hung up so fast. And what did he mean by “good luck”?
Still, you can’t wait for the Annihilator 3000 to arrive.
You rush in to tell your mom about the phone call.
She frowns. “Just don’t get your hopes up,” she says.
“Wait until Monday, Mom,” you tell her. “You’ll see.”
“That reminds me,” she says. “Monday afternoon I’ve got to pick up your brother, Geoffrey, at day care. I won’t be here when you get home from school.”
In your heart, you’re afraid that your mom might be right. That the prize won’t arrive.
But you rush home on Monday after school, hoping she’s wrong. Hoping the package will be waiting...
From the street, the porch looks empty.
Until you run up the front steps.
A huge brown cardboard box is sitting near the front door.
“Yes!” you cry the minute you spot it.
quote:
The box is so heavy, you can’t lift it.
You toss your jacket and backpack aside. Then you drag the box through the door and into the living room. You never imagined it would be so heavy!
Something whirs softly inside the sealed box.
Weird, you think. It sounds as if the Annihilator is already turned on...
You’re so excited, you rip the carton open.
WHIRRRR!
The motor inside the robot sounds like it’s spinning.
You lift the carton onto its side. Slide the heavy purple and black robot onto the living room rug.
You crawl halfway into the box, but all that’s in there is the stupid instruction sheet. Who needs that? You toss the folded sheet behind you and back out of the box.
“Hey – where are the spacemen?” you mutter.
When you turn around, the robot is standing.
It got up on its own! So it was already on!
The huge toy walks forward, turns a corner – and heads straight for your room!
quote:
You get up and race after the robot.
“Hey! Wait!” you call.
You catch up with the Annihilator as it stalks into your room. “Hold on! Stop!” you cry out.
At the sound of your voice, the Annihilator whirls around and glares at you.
Its eyes light up, bright red. And then it grows silent. As if it’s thinking. Even the whirring noises stop.
Somehow, the silence is creepy. Very creepy.
Cautiously, you step forward and reach your hand out to the robot. You’ve got to find the OFF switch.
The robot suddenly spins toward your bed. It raises its arm – and shoots out a laser beam. Whoa! Your bed is on fire!
What kind of toy is this?
Flames lap at the posters hanging over your bed.
You’ve got to do something! Your eyes dart around the room and land on your fish tank. Should you use the water to douse the flames? Or should you try to beat them out with your pillow?
Hurry – the fire’s getting bigger!
If you go for the pillow, turn to PAGE 34.
If you grab the fish tank, turn to PAGE 52.
Fun fact: out of all the Give Yourself Goosebumps monsters, the Annihilator 3000 seems to be the most popular one as far as Scholastic is concerned. Not only does an army of them appear in the movie, but it makes appearances in two of the more recent licensed games - though they always make it a lot smaller than it is in the book for some reason.

quote:
You grab the tank. Water sloshes on to your sneakers.
You look into the tank and see your guppies – Simeon and Seth – flitting around. Opening and closing their little mouths. They’re as frightened as you are!
You can’t kill Simeon and Seth!
So apparently Stine draws the line at killing fish, but not at leaving a girl behind to be eaten by zombies so you can escape. Good to know.
quote:
You set the tank down and run to the burning bed.
You snatch a pillow and begin to beat out the flames.
SMACK! SMACK! The fire is going out, thank goodness.
You barely notice the Annihilator spinning away from you, turning toward your desk.
WHIRRRRRR...
Until you see it raise its arm again.
“No!” you cry when you see where it’s pointing. “Not my dad’s baseball card collection!”
quote:
Your dad’s oldest and most valuable baseball cards are in a shoe box on the desk. He’s had them since he was a kid. They’re worth a fortune.
He only let you borrow them because you promised to be extra-super-careful with them. You needed them for a school report.
A ray blasts out of the Annihilator’s finger. Flames lick up the corner of the box.
“No!” you scream. “Stop it!”
This is insane. How do you turn this awful robot off?
You run around behind the Annihilator. You know its battery compartment is in its back.
Your fingers scrabble over the panel. Where’s the latch? How do you open it?
The Annihilator spins around to face you.
How creepy! It’s as if it could feel your touch.
Then it shoots a pale blue laser beam out of its chest – straight into your hand!
quote:
“Yow!” you screech. The blue beam is freezing! You watch in terror as a block of ice forms around your right hand.
You dash down the hall to the kitchen. You smash your hand against the side of the sink. The ice shatters.
You turn on the hot water and let it run over your hand. You gasp and clench your teeth in pain.
This can’t be happening, you think. It’s a bad dream. Toys don’t come to life and start burning your house down!
Burning! You remember your dad’s baseball cards. The whole house will go up in flames if you don’t get back there and put out the fire!
You grab a pitcher and shove it under the faucet. Then you race back to your room and hurl the water onto the box.
Whew! The fire is out. Dad’s baseball cards are destroyed. But that’s the least of your worries now.
Because the Annihilator isn’t in your room anymore.
It’s got to be somewhere in the house.
But, where?
quote:
You stand still and try to listen. But your heart is pounding so loudly, it’s all you can hear.
Then a noise comes from down the hall. A noise that makes the back of your neck prickle.
“Meeeooooww!”
It’s Patches, your cat! She’s in trouble. And you think you know what’s causing it.
Please, you think, let Patches be okay!
quote:
You dash into the living room. Patches is on the mantel over the fireplace. Her back is arched. The hair along her spine is standing straight up.
The Annihilator has her trapped! It zaps laser beams at her, but she keeps leaping out of the way.
Sparks flash against the stone chimney behind her.
“No more!” you scream. This robot has gone too far! Freezing your hand was bad. Burning up your father’s fortune in baseball cards was worse.
But trying to blow up Patches – well, now it’s personal.
You’re still scared – but you’re angry too.
You’re going to send that toy back where it came from.
But how?
If you call the Hasley Toy Company, turn to PAGE 10.
If you try to trick the Annihilator back into its box, turn to PAGE 88.

Animal abuse is the red button, huh? I guess Stine co-wrote this with Araki.
Back in the box with ye.
