Based on ''Literature/GoEatWorms'', book #21 of the original ''Literature/{{Goosebumps}}'' series.
Todd Barstow is obsessed with worms. But when his experimentation on them goes too far, the worms seek revenge.
----
!!The episode provides examples of:
* AdaptedOut: Patrick [=MacKay=], Mr. Barstow, and plenty of teachers at school are all absent in the episode. In fact, the Science Expo that was mentioned frequently is not shown at all.
* AdaptationalAlternateEnding: The book version has Todd take up butterfly collecting, only to get attacked by a giant butterfly. In the episode, Todd goes fishing, only to get pulled underwater by vengeful fish. They spare him when he promises not to fish anymore, but make him swim back. It is also possible that [[AttackOfThe50FootWhatever this fish was a gigantic one in a similar case with the giant worm]]. Either this, or worse still, considering how the scenario visually plays out, he was turned into a fish himself.
* CreepyCave: Todd stumbles upon a cave while out in the dark to collect worms. This cave turns out to be ''covered'' with worms that slither all over him, including a giant one.
* DeathByAdaptation: Todd's fate is left ambiguous but [[WordOfGod the writer Rick Drew]] confirmed that Todd dies in the end.
* LighterAndSofter: Todd's TroublingUnchildlikeBehavior is heavily toned down; although he plays a couple of pranks on his sister, he's nowhere near the borderline sociopath in the book, and in fact comes off more sympathetically since it's shown that he's bullied in school for his obsession about worms.
* RaceLift: Danny, who is described as red-haired in the book, is black in the TV adaptation.
