Say Cheese and Die!	comment	The Goosebumps book with the cursed camera.While exploring a local abandoned house with his friends, Greg finds an instant-film camera in a hidden compartment. OK, this doesn't sound too impressive to someone with a smartphone, but in the 1990's this was amazing technology. He tries it out on his friend Michael, who promptly falls through the floor — and that is what the photo shows. Indeed, every picture the camera takes shows the subject dead or horribly injured, which inevitably comes true. When his friend Shari vanishes after he takes a photo of her, he must find a way to undo the effects of the camera and save his friends.It has one direct sequel, Say Cheese and Die — Again!, in which Greg faced danger after using the camera — again. The camera also appears in the Goosebumps HorrorLand book Say Cheese — And Die Screaming, but with a completely different Backstory.This book was adapted into episode 15 of the first season of the 1995 TV series.It was later reissued in the Classic Goosebumps line in 2009 as a companion to Say Cheese — And Die Screaming!.

Say Cheese and Die! / int_41dce76e	comment	Small Town Boredom: The town where Greg and his friends live in, Pitts Landing, makes them feel quite bored. They complain in detail at the beginning of the book on how it is so. Although, the narration admits that Pitts Landing wasn't much different from a lot of small towns with quiet streets of shady lawns and comfortable old houses. The problem with the Greg and his friends is that they are just too hyperactive and crave adventure, which means they are not comfortable living in Pitts Landing.

Bird suggests that they could look at comics, which Shari then points out that it would be a good plan until the grumpy shop owner (Grover) would start yelling at them, with her even doing an impression of the store owner and saying, "Are you paying or staying?"
