Arc 1 (books 1-12) contains examples of:

  • Revenge Of The Living Dummy has a scene where Slappy sneaks up on the protagonist and pushes her down the stairs. Only it turns out it was actually her cousin Ethan, who did so for the purpose of a prank. Could've killed his own cousin... for a prank.
  • In Creep From The Deep, the rotting forms of the zombie pirates are described in great, gory detail.
  • In Monster Blood For Breakfast, the protagonist ends up accidentally eating a glob of Monster Blood, but instead of growing gigantic, he starts growing more and more muscular. Until he's a misshapen, vaguely human mass of muscles.
  • Who's Your Mummy?. The plot of the story is kicked off when the protagonists' grandmother sends them to stay with their uncle, because she's growing old, tired, and weak. And when they get there, it turns out their uncle never picked them up, and they've been abducted by a complete stranger.
    • Judging by the cover, the book looks like a story about the protagonists dealing with an evil, awakened mummy. The story does have a mummy, more than one, in fact. The villain keeps dozens of them moaning and writhing in their sarcophagi so he can eat their internal organs to stay immortal. And when all is said and done, the mummies get their wish to finally die in peace.
  • In Say Cheese — and Die Screaming!, a girl's arm is twisted and broken until bone shows through her skin. In the audiobook adaptation of this story, this scene is especially disturbing. As the narrator reads, the screams and cries of a young girl are audible in the background.
