Grabbed this one as my Most Wanted read for my Goosebumps July. Technically one of the special editions (a MW miniseries), but I'm counting it for both. 
I have read that Stine usually comes up with the title or tagline first and then artwork gets commissioned, often even before the book's written. Wow though, because this one is just so entirely unrelated to the content. I think I'd care less if I hadn't also gotten burned by the cover of Attack of the Graveyard Ghouls too. I'm just looking for some zombies here. Still a great cover though. 
The creepy old house in the neighborhood seems like the perfect spot to get back at the bullies. No one would expect the class scaredy cats to plot some scares of their own in there. Too bad there's already a haunting going on... 
This one also features a haunted mask that they find in a wooden box. It just kind of read like Stine smushing several of his other ideas into one and that's the only reason why it's a bit longer. Fun regardless though, personally a 3/5*.
