Mr. Saur is the main antagonist in the forty-fourth Goosebumps book, Say Cheese and Die — Again!, and its accompanying television adaptation. He is Greg Banks's English teacher and an antagonist in the book.
History
Mr. Saur is described as being, "sort of a legend at Pitts Landing Middle School." His incredibly strict grading policy makes him infamous among students.
Saur is a skeptic, and he attempts to fail Greg Banks for giving a presentation on a supposedly cursed camera. Greg has to go to great lengths to procure the camera and bring it to class, all so he can get a passing grade.
In both the book and the television adaptation, Mr. Saur is still skeptical when Greg presents the camera in class. However, the two diverge in endings. In the book, Mr. Saur takes a photo of the whole class, and Greg is left waiting to see the result. In the episode, a photo is accidentally taken of Mr. Saur, and it shows him bald; soon, his hair begins to fall out.
