Putting these tropes under both characters on this page would be quite spoiler enough. Besides, there is a mention of Human Aliens back in the main page for this book.


* HumanAliens: [[spoiler:Turns out to be this in the twist along with every other character, being an alien while possessing several human-like characteristics]].



* HumanAliens: [[spoiler:Revealed to be this in the twist (along with everyone else at the camp)]].

Badass Mustache and Badass Beard are being merged into Manly Facial Hair. Examples that don't fit or are zero-context are removed. To qualify for Manly Facial Hair, the facial hair must be associated with masculinity in some way. Please read the trope description before readding to make sure the example qualifies.


* BadassMustache: His first scene has him scare off a bunch of leopard like creatures threatening the campers.

Characters from the ''Literature/{{Goosebumps}}'' book ''Welcome to Camp Nightmare''.

!! Billy Harlan

[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/billycampnite.png]]

-> '''Portrayed By:''' Kaj-Erik Eriksen ([[Series/{{Goosebumps}} TV]]), Creator/DebiDerryberry (audiobook)

The protagonist, who finds that Camp Nightmoon is slowly turning into a nightmare when his parents enroll him in it.
----
* AllThereInTheManual: His last name is revealed in ''Goosebumps Presents''.
* DumbBlonde: Averted. He is shown as blonde in the episode and in some artwork of the book. He's also quick to notice odd occurrences and behaviors that are not normal. He is also shown to have a skill for swimming, hiking, and gun handling.
* HumanAliens: [[spoiler:Turns out to be this in the twist along with every other character, being an alien while possessing several human-like characteristics]].
* KidHero: He manages to keep a cool head and take action during the horrific events that occur throughout the book. Towards the end he ''points his gun at Uncle Al and shoots'' after refusing to hunt down Dawn and Dori.
* TheLeader: He often takes charge in his cabin due to being the most level-headed camper.
* MeaningfulName: His first name, Billy, means "to helmet and protect." And he does so by looking after a sick fellow camper who got bit by a snake and swimming to save a counselor who fell into the water. Also, he protects the WHOLE CAMP from potential danger from their own leader. [[spoiler:Yes, all of that was fake and a SecretTestOfCharacter, but this does not take away from how trusting and heroic Billy is.]]
* NiceGuy: He's kind, brave and selfless throughout the book. [[spoiler:What ultimately causes him to pass the test so he can join his parents in their expedition.]]
* OnlySaneMan: He plays this role in his cabin, being more level-headed among his more boisterous or skittish bunkmates.
* PuppyLove: He is implied to be attracted to Dawn, who is camping at an all-girls Camp Nightmoon place nearby. He mentions how he thinks she's pretty and blushes when first introducing himself to her. Given how she smiles at him when they first meet, she seems to reciprocate his feelings.
* ScrewTheRulesImDoingWhatsRight: Instead of obeying Uncle Al's orders to hunt two missing campers with a shotgun, Billy refuses and threatens to shoot Al himself if he tried to make any sudden moves. [[spoiler:This decision actually turns out to BE the right thing to do as part of the camp's training for Billy at Camp Nightmoon.]]
* SurroundedByIdiots: He feels this way when he deals with apathetic counselors whom are unwilling and unable to help injured campers. [[spoiler:Considering their behavior was all an act, they probably were ObfuscatingStupidity.]]
* TomatoSurprise: [[spoiler:It turns out the camp is a government testing lab so Billy's parents could decide if they could take him with them on their expedition... to earth. Yeah, they're actually aliens]].

!! Uncle Al

[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/alcampnite.png]]

-> '''Portrayed By:''' Chris Benson ([[Series/{{Goosebumps}} TV]])

The negligent camp director of Camp Nightmoon.
----
* BadassMustache: His first scene has him scare off a bunch of leopard like creatures threatening the campers.
* BigBad: The director of Camp Nightmoon, and thus the one most responsible for the horrible events that occur on its grounds.
* BitchInSheepsClothing: Acts nice at first, but shows his nastier side as time goes on, including being unconcerned about campers disappearing and is more worried about losing a canoe. [[spoiler:The "bitch" part turns out to be an act.]]
* DrillSergeantNasty: He doesn't even hire a nurse at his camp because he doesn't believe in "pampering" his boys.
* HiddenHeartOfGold: He seems like a horribly negligent and immoral camp director, [[spoiler:but it turns out he was putting on an act as a test for Billy]].
* HumanAliens: [[spoiler:Revealed to be this in the twist (along with everyone else at the camp)]].
* FatherToHisMen: Zigzagged. He seems pretty warm and friendly before revealing a much more dark and cruel side. In the end, though, he was doing it all for the good of his campers.
* PunchClockVillain: Acts like a jerk for most of the book. [[spoiler:Turns out it's all an act to test Billy, and he shows his true nicer colors once he passes the last part.]]
* SecretTestOfCharacter: [[spoiler:The entire plot is revealed to be this for Billy]].
* ScoobyDooHoax: [[spoiler: He, along with all the other campers, invented a monster that's said to live in the forbidden bunk]].
* SkewedPriorities: When he learns that two of his campers have drowned, he's upset about losing his best canoe.
* TrainingFromHell: The camp doesn't have a nurse because "Uncle Al doesn't want to coddle you guys".
* WalkingSpoiler: Very much so. Explaining the truth about him would give away the end of the book.
* WellIntentionedExtremist: He's actually a nice guy who wants to ensure his campers' success, it's just that his methods are extremely dangerous and unethical.
