Go To

Based on The Barking Ghost, book #32 of the original Goosebumps series.

Cooper and Fergie encounter a pair of ghost dogs in the forest.


The episode provides examples of:

  • Adaptational Alternate Ending: The episode ends with Cooper and Fergie getting their bodies back, and it's the Big Brother Bully character who becomes a chipmunk instead.
  • Adaptational Karma: The episode ends with Mickey, who's been a jerk to Cooper the whole time, getting body-swapped into a chipmunk.
  • Adaptation Expansion: Unlike the book, where the two men who became the ghost dogs had no backstory, the episode explains that they were originally pirates before they got transformed.
  • Named by the Adaptation: The ghost dogs are given the names Grimm and Scratch.
