Based on Return of the Mummy, book #23 of the original Goosebumps series.

Gabe visits his archaeologist uncle and cousin in Egypt, where they're digging in a pyramid to find an ancient mummy... who isn't as dead as he seems.


The episode provides examples of:

  • Adapted Out: Fielding is cut out.
  • Adaptational Alternate Ending: Instead of Gabe being pinched, the episode ends with The Summoner sneaking into Gabe's suitcase, following him home.
  • Adaptational Villainy: In the book, Khor Ru backed off after attacking Nila, as he just wanted to rest. In the episode, he goes after Gabe even when Nila is taken care of.
  • All There in the Manual: The Goosebumps Presents book reveals that Gabe's last name is Sadry.
  • Un-Installment: This book was adapted while the first book was not. While no explanation has been given, it's likely to the darker nature of the original book and the sequel taking place mostly in the one location made it easier to adapt on their budget.
