Based on ''Literature/CryOfTheCat'', book #1 of ''Literature/{{Goosebumps}} Series 2000''.
Allison accidentally runs over a cat and kills it, only to find it can come back from the dead... and is very, ''very'' angry with her as a result.
----
!!The episode provides examples of:
* AdaptedOut: Tanner, Allison's parents and Rip's minions are all omitted.
* AdaptationalExplanation: The book didn't explain why Crystal's Mom was experimenting on cats. The episode explains that she was working on a cure for a deadly virus.
* AdaptationalJerkass: Allison and Ryan were nice in the book but are spoiled child stars in the episode, especially the latter. They get better.
* AdaptationalUgliness: Rip in the episode has a more ragged, near-hairless appearance. He also for some reason sports a pair of wings, making him look more like a gargoyle.
* AmbiguouslyAbsentParent: We never see Allison's parents, or even what her general living situation outside of filming the movie is like.
* DiesDifferentlyInAdaptation: In the book, Rip's final death comes when Allison throws a toy mouse at him, causing his minions to chase it and run him over in the process, trampling him to death. In the episode, since his minions were left out, he instead just eats the wind-up mouse and dies because she'd laced it with a volatile chemical.
* NestedStoryReveal: The entire episode turns out to be just the movie they were filming.
* ShoutOut: The episode begins with a parody of ''Film/TheExorcist''.
* SinisterSilhouettes: Rip the cat's shadow appears to be frightening when he's about to find Allison at the hospital. His scary shadow appears again when Allison and Ryan are about to run away from Crystal's mom.
