Based on Ghost Beach, book #22 of the original Goosebumps series.
Jerry and Terri are visiting their distant cousins, only to discover the area is haunted.
The episode provides examples of:
- Adapted Out: Nat is removed.
- Antiquated Linguistics: Subverted — Sam and Louisa were dead for 300-some years, but speak contemporary English.
- Dutch Angle: The TV episode uses this filming method extensively, notably towards the ending when Brad and Agatha reveal themselves to be ghosts.
- Jacob Marley Apparel: Subverted. Sam and Louisa were dead for 300-some years but they wear contemporary 1990s-style attire rather than whatever they wore while they were alive.
- "Ray of Hope" Ending: Unlike the book where Jerry and Terri are trapped with Brad and Agatha, the door is wide open behind them so they could plausibly escape. Also, Brad and Agatha seem to be only focused on dealing with the dog who discovered their secret and leaving Jerri and Terri be. Maybe.
- Wham Shot: Jerry and Terri saw something creepy while walking up a beach, with the camera closing in on Jerry's Reaction Shot, before panning down to reveal a half-buried dog skeleton in the sand.
