- Initially it seems like a family is surviving a zombie apocalypse during the protagonists' birthday and the dad occasionally comes out of their shelter to check the surroundings. Fortunately, they survive. The twist? There never was a zombie outbreak. The whole thing was a sham so that they could have the protagonist's birthday inside. Why would they do this? They're afraid of the protagonist getting messy during the birthday parties and they think it's just cheaper to have it underground with no mess.
- In the "A word or two about these stories" section in the Campfire installment, David Lubar talks about the Wanderban story (which is about a monster who's trying to get out of the hall of forgotten monsters by becoming known and having kids know his name). He claims that the idea literally just popped into his head, as if someone was whispering into his ear.
- Some of them are fun for the sheer absurdity, such as the one about a kid who accidentally gets his dad in an accident that leaves him without a hand, and the hand returns every night to spank him on the butt.
- The titular Battle of the Red Hot Pepper Weenies is also pretty funny, as two boys try to one-up each other by eating progressively hotter peppers. It ends poorly for both of them.
