Night of the Puppet People

Night of the Puppet People is the eighth book in Goosebumps Most Wanted.

Plot
Ben and his twin, Jenny are terrified by the strange puppet show at their fifth birthday party. The puppets are ugly and frightening and get all the kids screaming. The old puppeteer whispers to Ben and Jenny as he leaves: "I'll see you again..."

Now they are twelve but they never forgot that scary time. And when their friend, Jesse shows them the collection of old puppets he found hidden in his attic, they feel a twinge of fear. But Jesse has big plans. He wants to do an elaborate puppet show at school and he wants to video it for YouTube.

As the three kids practice their show, frightening things begin to happen. The puppets seem to act on their own. And move on their own.

And then the three kids begin to act strangely. They say things they didn't mean to. They do crazy things in school, as if they are not in control of their own bodies and minds.
