Goosebumps Page #6

What?

Go to the gym. Warn everyone.

Tell them to barricade

the school.

Where are you going?

To find someplace

to write.

Slappy's going

to come for me.

I have a deadline,

literally.

Now go.

Unbelievable.

? Off, off, off

? Off with your head

? Dance, dance

Till you're dead?

? Heads will roll

Heads will roll?

? Heads will roll

On the floor?

Excuse me.

Sorry. Coming through.

Come on. We gotta get

to the stage.

? Heads will roll

Heads will roll?

? Heads will roll

On the floor?

So this is what

a high-school dance is like.

Uh, yeah.

Usually the dancing's better.

But you get the idea.

That what they call dancing now?

I'm not sure.

Zach.

- Mom. Mom.

- Zach.

I was so worried. I couldn't

get hold of you or Lorraine.

I know. I know.

Mom, everyone here is in danger.

We have to barricade the school.

Oh, no, Zach. Not this again.

He's telling you the truth.

I'm Hannah. I live next door.

All right.

Okay, everyone,

listen up. Okay?

Okay. Everybody,

you gotta listen up...

Champ, get down.

I have something to say.

Uh... wow.

Okay, um...

Uh, okay, uh...

Listen to my best friend Zach.

Just... Just tell them.

Thanks, Champ.

Yeah.

Yeah. All right. Um...

This is going

to sound insane,

but monsters

have invaded Madison.

Guys, it's the truth. Okay?

He's telling the truth. It's...

He's not making this up.

They've blocked every road

out of town,

they've torn down

the cell towers,

and we've been cut off

from the rest of the world.

And they could be coming for us

any second,

so we need to work to...

Aah! He's right.

It's the Boogeyman.

And he's picking his nose.

I'm not making...

Aah!

There's a giant bug,

and it's eating

everybody's cars!

Uh, it's getting old, dude.

No, seriously!

They're here.

Whoa.

Ha, ha!

Now, this is a real

homecoming.

All right. Everyone, everyone,

everyone calm down. Okay?

I know... I know what to do,

but I can't do it by myself.

Take this.

Invite the rest of our friends

to the party.

Look. Those things out there,

they're R.L. Stine's

monsters.

He's here,

and he can fix this,

but we need to buy him

time to write.

And don't worry,

he's a very quick writer.

The night was cold.

Cold was the night.

Come close. Don't be shy.

You don't wanna

miss the show.

All right, everyone.

These are all the exits.

Find anything you can

to barricade the doors,

because we cannot let

the monsters inside.

Come on, guys.

We don't have a lot of time.

Stack them up there.

Stack them up.

Come on, quickly.

Quickly. Yes.

All my friends in one place.

I've never been so happy.

I don't want

this day to end.

And it doesn't have to...

as long as we get rid

of Stine.

Charge!

Woo-hoo!

Go, go, go!

It's not gonna hold! Go!

Go, go, go!

We come in peace.

We come in peace.

We should be helping.

We should be leaving.

Uh... whoa.

What? What?

Where are you going?

We are so... through.

Please, no. Please.

No, please.

Oh, my God.

How'd you do that?

Oh, um...

Silver fillings.

I have a ton of cavities.

When I was 10, I didn't brush

my teeth for a whole year.

Ugh, werewolf hair. Oh.

You saved my life, Chump.

It's actually "Champ. "

I was just gonna say

"hug me again,"

but yeah, yeah, that works too.

We can't keep this up.

There's too many.

We have to get to Stine.

Let's go.

Okay.

All the monsters

had converged.

The vicious vampire bats,

the praying mantis,

the haunted mask...

Forgetting somebody?

Slappy.

How did you find me?

I know you.

I created you.

Or is it

the other way around?

I always forget.

We're so similar.

Slappy?

Slappy?

Slappy?

Slappy?

Hi.

"Everyone

in the high school

joined forces to defeat

Slappy and his monsters. "

Hmm. But Slappy

had other ideas.

No.

Dad!

Are you okay?

That dumb dummy

broke my fingers.

I was almost finished.

Only one or two pages left.

Well, forget two pages.

"the end. "

It doesn't work like that.

Monsters have overwhelmed

Madison High.

Retreat in an orderly fashion

to the storage room.

I repeat, retreat in an orderly

fashion to the storage room.

We'll figure this out later,

all right?

Let's go.

Follow me.

Come on, go!

Aah!

Hannah. No.

Close it. Close it.

Are you okay?

Yeah. Yeah. Thanks.

Come with me.

Wait. Wait, she's a...

Yes, and I don't care.

All right. Come on, come on,

come on. Go, go, go.

Shut it! Go!

Get that door! Get it! Get it!

Oh, God.

Oh, God.

Wait. Mom, Mom, Mom.

You okay?

Are you okay? Yeah.

What do we do?

They'll get through.

I don't know. I don't know.

Slappy wants me.

That's who he's after.

Listen to me, if I can lure them

away in one of those buses,

I know that they'll follow me

and you'll all be safe.

I'm coming with you.

No, I need to do this alone.

I've been running away

from people my whole life.

I was so angry

at the real world

that I created

these terrible monsters.

Hold that door down.

But I'm not mad anymore.

It's my fault, not this town's.

Not yours.

There's gotta be another way.

Hannah, sweetheart,

it's time for me

to face my demons.

I believe in you.

Shut up!

I'm sorry.

I mean, shut up.

I have an idea.

Oh, Papa.

There's no escaping

from us.

Bring him to me.

Did it work?

Not yet.

Come on. Come on, work.

Come on, come on.

Uh-oh.

Yes!

High five.

Oh, boy. Bad idea.

Sorry.

Yes. It worked.

Oh, be careful, Zach.

We're gonna get

through this.

Not a good time.

Okay.

Okay. Go.

Okay, it was clear there

was only one place left to hide.

I can't type while walking.

Then commit it to memory.

There was one place to hide.

It was the, uh, arcade gallery.

There is no

arcade gallery.

Okay. That was, in fact,

the funhouse!

Wait, guys. Why don't we just

sit at one of these tables?

Come on. Guys!

Follow the scent.

Lead me to Stine.

Stine's ingenious plan

worked to perfection.

The funhouse was terrifying.

Not so much for Stine

as it was for the others.

But it offered refuge from

the real terrors

that lurked outside.

You wish.

He found us.

Quickly, follow me.

Papa, you left

without saying goodbye.

Trying to hide from me?

That's like hiding

from yourself.

I was your best friend,

and you turned your back on me.

Locked me up, imprisoned me

in the pages of a book.

You stuck me on a shelf

for years and years.

The key was right there.

And you never used it.

You're not real, Slappy.

I created you.

I can write you out.

I've been saving this monster

just for you.

Say hello to my gelatinous friend. Run!

It's The Blob That Ate Everyone.

Don't let it touch you.

We need to get to higher ground.

The Ferris wheel.

Zach, you go on ahead.

I'll hold it off.

You finish the book.

What? What do I write?

What's the end?

The story I've been writing.

It's what's happening right now.

You can do this. End it.

Wait.

Dad!

Hannah, he's gonna be okay,

all right?

We have to finish

the book.

Okay.

Not so fun, is it?

Here we go.

Okay.

How do you like it,

Papa?

The world is just outside
