* MotorMouth: The musical shows that she tends to ramble when she's nervous or flustered, as the song "Babbling Brooke" is ample evidence of.



A ghost haunting Brooke and Zeke's middle school when their class decides to revive a cancelled play from 70 years ago, appropriately called ''The Phantom''. It is believed he is the boy who was originally going to play the Phantom but disappeared. [[spoiler: He is, and he's also Brian, the boy who transferred into Brooke's class.]]

[[spoiler: It turns out the person everyone ''thought'' was the Phantom was really Emile, the supposed night janitor. Who then turned out to be a homeless man living under the stage. It's not until opening night that the ''real'' Phantom shows up.]]

!! Brooke Rodgers

-> Portrayed By: Jessica Moyes ([[Series/{{Goosebumps}} TV]])

The main protagonist of the story. She and Zeke are cast as Esmeralda and the Phantom at their school play, but a series of mishaps threaten to ruin their parts.
----
* AdaptationDyeJob: She mentions at one point that she has chestnut brown hair like her brother. But in the TV episode, she has blonde hair.
* BigSisterInstinct: Zig-zagged. She helps walk her younger brother to school in order to look out for him, yet she can't resist showing him horror movies from time to time.
* BlindWithoutEm: Brooke wishes she didn't have her glasses, but need them to see, or she'll just walk into walls.
* CharacterTic: When she gets annoyed, she rolls her eyes upward to only show the white. She says that other people find it really gross, but since Zeke sees her do it plenty of times, he isn't disgusted by it anymore.
* CrazyPrepared: She wears rubber bands on her arms at all times, just because she never knows when she'll need them.
* EarnYourHappyEnding: After all the trouble throughout the production of the play, she is able to do a fantastic performance as Esmeralda, and make the show a major success on opening night. [[spoiler:Though, that doesn't stop her from getting a major surprise on finding out who really played the Phantom and died during original production in the 1920s from a yearbook]].
* EmbarrassingNickname: Zeke likes to call her "Brookie", which she finds annoying at times. He also calls her "a babbling Brooke" because she tends to talk on and on.
* EveryoneHasStandards: She may like to show her brother horror movies, but she would never show him something truly terrifying such as ''Film/FridayThe13th1980''.
* TheGlassesGottaGo: She mentions that she wishes she can go around without them because she looks better without them, but she [[BlindWithoutEm can't be able to do that without walking through a wall in the hallway]].
* NiceGirl: She says that she usually doesn't like to think of or say nasty things about people. And she is quick to show Brian around his new school.
* NightmareFetishist: She is definitely this, enjoying horror movies and watching them with her brother.
* NotSoSimilar: She and Zeke have a lot in common. However, she is shown to have standards, being hesitant to get involved in some of his mischief.
* OpinionFlipFlop: She tends to change her mind about a subject quickly. This drives Zeke insane.
* PlatonicLifePartners: She and Zeke are this. Brooke notes how many of her female friends find it weird that she is best friends with a boy, but she doesn't care. She doesn't find him cute, and she usually doesn't like hanging out with other girls.
* ThrillSeeker: She is very excited to do things such as catch the mysterious stranger that is framing Zeke as the Phantom.
* UnknownRival: Tina constantly antagonizes her and tries to upstage her at any opportunity. Brooke is very confused on why she does this, as she doesn't recall her ever doing anything bad to Tina.

!! Zeke Matthews

-> Portrayed By: Shawn Potter ([[Series/{{Goosebumps}} TV]])

The best friend to Brooke. He is framed as the Phantom that keeps messing up production of the play.
----
* AdaptationDyeJob: He has blond hair in the book, but not in the TV episode, where he has light brown hair.
* AgeLift: In ''Goosebumps: [=HorrorTown=]'', he is shown to be in high school, and even is starting to grow a soul patch!
* ClearMyName: He is very frustrated that people keep thinking he is the one who is messing up the play. And when this finally leads to him being grounded, he has had enough, and he teams up with Brooke and Brian to sneak into school and catch the real culprit. They eventually succeed.
* GagHaircut: He has his hair shaved near bald around the sides and back, but really long in the front.
* NightmareFetishist: Even more so than Brooke. When he is grounded, Brooke claims that he can't survive without his horror movies to watch.
* NotMeThisTime: He claims that the mishaps occurring during The Phantom production are not his doing at all, with almost nobody believing him. It isn't until near the end that he is finally believed.
* RaceLift: He is African-American in ''Goosebumps: [=HorrorTown=]''.
* TheScapegoat: The Phantom doppelgänger makes sure to frame Zeke at every turn, including putting a can of paint in his locker that lead from graffiti in the auditorium.
* ToxicFriendInfluence: He convinces Brooke to go on some very risky activities, such as traveling down to the forbidden school basement and even breaking into school outside of class.
* YouAreGrounded: His parents, who truly believe that he is the one causing havoc at school, punish him by grounding him. They forbid him to leave home except for school, and they take away his VCR, much to his depression, as this means he can't watch horror movies.
* YouHaveToBelieveMe: His way of explaining that he's not the troublemaker.
* YouthfulFreckles: Has these to combine with his juvenile activity. Only in the book, though.

----
* AntiVillain: One of the more benign creatures in the series, he just wants to be in a play so he can rest in peace.
* CoolMask: The cover art for the book depicts it as just a plain white mask, but the book describes the Phantom's mask as actually being blue-green. The UK cover artwork is a closer example of what the mask is described as.
* DeathOfAChild: He was part of the class that tried to perform ''The Phantom'' back in the 1920s, but he mysteriously disappeared the night before the play went on. [[spoiler: It turns out he fell through the trap door beneath the stage and died.]]
