R.B. Farraday

R.B. Farraday is the antagonist of the eighth Goosebumps Series 2000 book, Fright Camp.

History
R.B. is a renown director of many horror films, which has earned him the title of "the scariest man on Earth'. He opened a camp called "Fright Camp" so that his fans, including Andrew and Tyler Herman could experience the scares of his movies in real life.

Soon the scares he had cooked up started to seem to real, with his assistant going too far with some of them. Eventually things got so out of control that he ran away due to guilt. It turned out that everything going on and was fake, and he created everything to get footage for a documentary.

The kids were upset but even after they pulled a scare of their own, he puled one in return and told the kids they had two more weeks of Fright Camp left.
