Plot
Issue 1
In the tradition of the classic Say Cheese and Die! story, this spiritual successor takes that concept and puts a digital spin on it for the iPhone generation. Today’s kids will now have to contend with a smartphone app that snaps filtered pictures which depict nightmarish outcomes. In true Goosebumps fashion, the danger is real![1]
Issue 2
Mitra’s new creepy phone is causing a rift between her and her friends—they just don’t believe it’s behind all the recent… disturbances. Is it too late to do a hard reset on her life?!
Issue 3
Power cords and lifelines get tangled as Mitra, Kyra, and flips unravel the monsters’ mess. Is it too late to save their friend and their town from the curse of the haunted phone? Ring, ring—who’s calling? Your DOOM.
Trivia
- Mitra is shown to have a romantic attraction to another female character, making her the first LGBT character in a Goosebumps product.
