''Literature/{{Goosebumps}} Triple Header Book Two'' is the second and last entry in the short-lived ''Triple Header'' series within the ''Goosebumps'' franchise. As with the first ''Triple Header'', it contains three stories of roughly fifty pages each, which were structured more like standard ''Goosebumps'' books.

The stories consisted of the following:

* "Ghoul School" - Liam Erdman transfers into a new school, which turns out to be a school for monsters.
* "The Revenge" - Amelia gets an appointment with Madame Margo, a fortune teller, who teaches her how to use astral projection so she can get revenge on local bully Cory Calder.
* "The Mummy with My Face" - Norm Parker and his older sister Claire are in Egypt, and are offered a special tour of a pyramid that isn't open to the public. However, the pyramid and the mummies inside aren't quite what they seem.

----
!!''Ghoul School'' includes examples of:

* AdultsAreUseless: Played straight at first, as Liam's parents don't believe him and the teacher is a monster too. [[spoiler: Subverted in the end as it turns out Liam's dad knew about the school and was using Liam to get proof of it so he can arrest the monsters.]]
* ExtremeOmnivore: Pretty much all the monsters in the school will eat anything, including dirt, chalk and [[ImAHumanitarian human flesh]].
* {{Mondegreen}}: When dismissing Liam, Ms. Barker says "I need a few minutes to eat my ham sandwich". It's not until he comes back and sees her actually eating that he realizes she didn't say "ham"; she said "''hand''".
* StrangerInAStrangeSchool: The premise of a story, which involves Liam attending a school for monsters.
* UndercoverCopReveal: [[spoiler: It turns out Liam's dad is one and was using Liam to find evidence of the monster school so he can take action.]]

!!''The Revenge'' includes examples of:

* AstralProjection: This is the ability Amelia learns, including the ability to interact with the real world but it's limited to one hour total; if she exceeds the time limit, she's locked out of her body forever.
* BittersweetEnding: Amelia's dog Fluffy [[spoiler: gets stuck in the astral plane forever, but the dog is able to keep the bully Cory Calder in line]].
* TheBully: Cory Calder, a particularly cruel one who regularly beats up on other kids and nearly causes Amelia's dog to get run over. [[spoiler: He even learns the same power as Amelia and tries to keep her out of her body so she'll be stuck in astral form forever.]]

!!''The Mummy With My Face'' includes examples of:

* ScoobyDooHoax: In "The Mummy With My Face", the mummies were all [[spoiler: robots created by two men who were using the kids as test subjects for their mummy themed amusement park.]]
