[[folder: #9: ''The Knight in Screaming Armor'']]

!! Abbey Saxton

One of "your" British cousins.

* ControlFreak: Downplayed, but near the beginning you say that she acts like the queen of the world sometimes.
* DeadpanSnarker: Sometimes. One ending even says "she always has to have the last word in THE END."
* TheLoad: Subverted, she seems to be this at first but is actually pretty brave (and fights off some snakes single handedly at one point.)
* LovableAlphaBitch: She seems like just a jerk at first, but you gradually find out she's a decent enough girl, if kind of full of herself.
* ProudBeauty: She's really pretty, and she knows it. Her EstablishingCharacterMoment starts with her looking in the mirror and primping her hair. Later on, when you find a beautiful clock, she even says "it's pretty, like me."
* SkewedPriorities: At one point, when she's [[ItMakesSenseInContext almost electrocuted]] and her hair stands on end. Her main fear is that she might never get her hair to curl again.
* VanityIsFeminine: Admittedly, she has a lot to be vain about.

!! Kip Saxton

Your other cousin, and Abbey's brother.

* FlatCharacter: Unlike Abbey, he's pretty much just a generically nice kid.
* NiceGuy: Nicer than Abbey, at least.
* VagueAge: He's just said to be "your" age (implied to be 12 or so) whereas Abbey is 15.

!! The Knight

[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/knightscream.jpg]]

* AnimatedArmor: He's basically a VengefulGhost possessing the armor he wore in life.
* BlackKnight: He doesn't have literal black armor, but is still an evil knight.
* DemonicPossession: He was created by a WickedWitch as a living suit of armor with an evil spirit inside, and possessed the good knight Sir Edmund Saxon, and made him murder his friends and family.
* {{Sadist}}: Seems to really like tormenting you and your cousins. At one point he [[BalefulPolymorph turns Abbey into a bird]] just because she's terrified of flying.
* ScreamingWarrior: Well, it's [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin in his title.]]

!! Characters introduced in other short story collections:

[[folder: ''Goosebumps Triple Header'']]

!! Granny Deaver
!!! Appears In: ''Ghost Granny'' (book 1, story #1)

A nasty old woman who sponged off a family she wasn't actually related to for three years. When she died, everyone had a hard time concealing their relief that she was gone. That relief was short lived when she returned as an evil spirit, intending to haunt her so-called family.

* EvilOldFolks: And she only became worse when she became a ghost.
* JabbaTableManners: She eats like a pig even as she complains about how bad the food is. Kelly and her brother once found Granny Deaver's teeth in the milk carton after she was done drinking it, and this grossed them out so much they stopped eating cereal completely.
* TheMillstone: To Kelly and her family, in life and especially in death. She makes their lives miserable by being rude, loud, and unpleasant, and they just can't get rid of her. Upon her return as a ghost, she ruins Kelly's birthday and scares away her friends, and spends the nights howling and wailing. It reached a point where a neighbor finally called the police thinking Kelly's family had a dog, but she scared them away.
* NoSenseOfPersonalSpace: She's always pinching Kelly and her brother when she's not barging into their rooms and leaving her stuff in their closets.
* ScrewPolitenessImASenior: She's domineering and has no sense of consideration or self-awareness towards how she behaves around others.
* SicklyGreenGlow: As a ghost.
* SuperpoweredEvilSide: She becomes animalistic when she gets truly angry, growing claws and fangs. [[spoiler: It's all for show. She can't actually hurt anyone and when Kelly realizes this, her mocking of Granny Deaver is enough to make her self destruct.]]
* TheThingThatWouldNotLeave: Kelly's parents let her stay with them because she has nowhere else to go, and they feel sorry for her. This only gets worse when she becomes a ghost.
* TookALevelInJerkass: Before she died, she was just rude. As a ghost, she terrorizes the family and anyone who enters the house. She claims that dying has brought her "evil side" out.
* UngratefulBastard: She complains about everything, alive or dead. She'll call the food Kelly's parents have made garbage but she'll eat it all and then steal from their plates.

!! Corey Calder
!!! Appears In: ''The Revenge'' (book 2, story #2)

A cruel bully that the protagonist wants revenge on.

* TheBully: One of the crueler examples in the series, and one of the few to be the full on antagonist of the story rather than just a side character.
* CatchphraseInsult: He constantly refers to Issac as "isick" and Amelia as "A-squeal-ia".
* HumansAreTheRealMonsters: He certainly comes across as more despicable than most of the actual monsters. Especially when he tries to [[spoiler: keep Amelia in her astral form so she can't ever return to her body.]]
* KickTheDog: He throws a tennis ball into traffic so that Amelia's dog Fluffy will run after it. This is what causes Amelia to seek revenge.
* LaserGuidedKarma: Fluffy (in astral form) attacks him long enough for Amelia to get back into her body, and in the end [[spoiler: Astral Fluffy keeps him in line.]]

* {{Determinator}}: Robbie keeps insisting on going forward with the game even though he knows something is terribly wrong after [[spoiler: Carl and Krista are taken away. This is because he's a character in a video game being controlled by someone else]].

* DwindlingParty: [[spoiler: Robbie is the only member left of the trio by the time he makes it to Miles' aunt's house]].

A swamp monster that, when summoned, becomes your slave.
