Some apparel from the 1990s removed the word "Die", having the title instead read "Say Cheese And...". This would be amended for apparel released in the 2000s and beyond.

This is the second Say Cheese and Die book where the protagonist has a skeleton photo nightmare, but is the first one not to be told in the past tense. The camera appears in Goosebumps: The Game. There is also an in-game achievement named "Say Cheese--Again!", which can be earned by taking pictures of all the monsters with the haunted camera.The pranksters Duane and Stephanie love to visit Hill House, a place said to be haunted by a ghost of a young boy who was decapitated by an evil sea captain. One night, they decide to go to the house after it closes to find the boy's head, but actually end up encountering the headless ghost as well as a few other restless spirits. The series also stars Justin Long —who becomes possessed by a dark entity around the 40-second mark of the trailer —and Rachael Harris. Goosebumps will stream on Disney+ and Hulu starting, appropriately enough, on Friday, Oct. 13, with five episodes. The first two will also air on Disney’s cable channel Freeform as part of its 31 Days of Halloween programming.

The initial description of Greg's photo of him fat is toned down, removing various specific details and comparisons to a balloon. Things like this are changed throughout the book, and fatter is replaced with "bigger" in various places, and mentions of diets, chins, flab, etc. are removed.

Stine did the world a great service by introducing horror books to children. Children love horror; they love being scared. But only a bit scared - these books are great at being genuinely frightening, but not scarring. Isaiah is able to save her in time thanks to seeing the picture of her dying and going looking for her.Isaiah tries to show James the haunted camera, but when anybody other than Isaiah looks at the pictures, they appear blank.

I have no qualms in stating that because this book presented such a duality with its antagonist & with the garish item of the camera that it left me feeling glad to see such pointed writing play out for all ages. I am a firm believer that a good book is, a good book & that all readers deserve to come upon stories that are well-thought-out & well-written. Stine is a wonder at his craft. Though there were times when some of the actions of the younger characters were quite annoying—Shari essentially bullying Greg into bringing the haunted camera—I could understand that this was the essence of the 90s writing style. The opening feels like a pretty traditional teenage horror setup. Scary enough to work on Hulu, but nice enough that it can still air on Disney+ as well. As a thank you for helping him out, Isaiah invites Margot to the party, much to the displeasure of Allison.As they’re setting up for the party, the teenagers discover a way into the basement of the house, a room that’s been closed off since the fire.
