* WeakenedByTheLight: Unlike the books, the episode makes it so light paralyzes the gnomes rather than certain sounds. They are inert during the day and only come alive at night. A flaslight will do the trick, but it doesn't stop or kill them, it just slows them down, so you better hope that battery keeps working.

Based on ''Literature/RevengeOfTheLawnGnomes'', book #34 of the original ''Literature/{{Goosebumps}}'' series.
Joe and Mindy's father always buys bizarre lawn ornaments. One day, however, he buys a set of lawn gnomes, whom Joe learns to be more than just decorations.
----
!!The episode provides examples of:
* AdaptationNameChange: Mr. [=McCall=]'s first name is Major instead of Bill.
* AdaptationPersonalityChange: Mr. [=McCall=] was a little more friendly in the book (at least to Mr. Burton, always kidding with him). In the TV episode, ''Major'' [=McCall=] is cold and militant to the entire Burton family.
* AdaptationalVillainy: While he wasn't exactly a NiceGuy in the book, the TV episode reimagines Mr. [=McCall=] as a DrillSergeantNasty ex-military man.
* AdaptedOut: Joe's dog Buster, Mrs. [=McCall=], and Joe's friend, Michael "Moose" [=McCall=] are all absent from the episode. So is the gorilla lawn ornament from the last chapter.
* AgeLift: The show's Mr. [=McCall=] is at least in his 50s or 60s (old enough to have been in Vietnam at least), while in the book he's presumably young enough to have a son around the same age as Joe.
* AssholeVictim: Major [=McCall=], who's considerably nastier in the TV version, gets turned into a ceramic ornament by the gnomes.
* CreepyGood: The Lawn Gnomes, for the most part.
* DeathByAdaptation: The episode ends with Major [=McCall=] being [[TakenForGranite turned into a lawn ornament]] by the gnomes.
* DrillSergeantNasty: Mr. [=McCall=] from the book was already an ex-army officer, but the episode renames him to Major [=McCall=] and ramps up his army past and abrasiveness.
* FunHatingConfiscatingAdult: Major [=McCall=], who confiscates anything that lands on his lawn.
* JumpScare: At the beginning the episode, a gnome suddenly seems to have attacked Joe after closing the garage door.
* SparedByTheAdaptation: The Lawn Gnomes are not destroyed like they were in the book.
* TakenForGranite: Major [=McCall=] is turned into a lawn ornament at the end.
* WeakenedByTheLight: Unlike the books, the episode makes it so light paralyzes the gnomes rather than certain sounds.
