Pretty darn good for a G2K book. I love the original series, but 2000 just seemed like kind of a failed experiment trying to bridge the gap between original Goosebumps and Fear Street. 

Either way, this is one of the better ones I've read in the series with a completely wacky plot involving (view spoiler)[ possessions, body-swapping, rat-transformations, and a ghost literally setting fire to an entire town and attacking people with an axe.  (hide spoiler)] Stine came a long way from lawn gnomes, here.

An dig that cover. Looks like an Iron Maiden album.

This is the first Goosebumps Series 2000 book I grabbed for my Goosebumps July and it was honestly just the luck of the draw, although I am a big fan of this cover art.

From the cover though, I was definitely thinking zombies, and it’s more like actually ghosts. The description is definitely pretty gruesome though, which is always nice to see when Stine pushes that middle grade envelope a bit. This one starts out cool with the main character reading his school paper which is about the lore of the town’s cemetery. This opens the story up for the ghouls to be real, and for him to get infected, when his teacher likes his story so much she makes them take a trip to the cemetery for class.

Fun and definitely silly with some dancing elements involved. Personally a 3/5*.
