Go To

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.
  • 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.
