While Uncle Ben is trying to figure out exactly what is going on, Gabe gets separated from his uncle and Sari, and stumbles into a mummy making chamber that has been in use more recently than 4000 years ago. However, the archaeology project is plagued with problems that may be related to an ancient curse placed on the burial site. Gabe and Sari are the luckiest twelve year olds alive when their Uncle Ben decides to take them into an Egyptian pyramid dig. Title: Goosebumps #5: The Curse of the Mummy’s Tomb

The fact that terrible futures in the photos often did not happen instantaneously added to the suspense, though most of the time I was distracted by the desire to throttle the kids for all being so thoughtless. However, as a children’s horror book, as long as your suspension of disbelief is high, it can offer the reader a fair number of chills and gasps. The characters in this novel are dumb as empty film canisters, and the story itself is rather silly when you think about it. Greg stashes the camera back in its hiding place, but the book ends with two new kids finding the evil device. In a fight to escape, the camera accidentally goes off and takes a photo of the man, resulting in him dying in fear over what it would show. There he is cornered by the man who has been guarding the camera for years. When one of their closest friends disappears after her photo is taken, Greg tries to take the camera back to its hiding place.

Greg figures out pretty quickly that the camera takes photos of horrible future events, but the rest of his friends refuse to believe him and want to use the camera at a party. In this story, Greg and his friends find a mysterious camera hidden in an abandoned home. Say Cheese and Die is certainly creepy, but it suffers from some weak writing choices.
