Based on ''Literature/WerewolfSkin'', book #60 of the original ''Literature/{{Goosebumps}}'' series.

Alex Blackwell visits his aunt and uncle, only to discover the town is home to werewolves.

----
!!The episode provides examples of:

* AdaptationNameChange: Alex and his aunt and uncle's last names are all changed from Hunter to Blackwell in the episode.
* DefeatEqualsExplosion: The titular skins explode in a massive fireball after Alex succesfully keeps Marta and Colin away from them long enough to break the curse.
* GenderFlip: The bus driver who brings Alex to Wolf Creek is a man in the book, but is a woman in the episode.
* MythologyGag:
** While Alex is waiting for his aunt and uncle at the bus station, the driver who brought him there passes the time by telling him how she heard about [[Literature/TheHeadlessGhost a boy who lost his head and now haunts his house trying to find it]].
** The bus driver's name is Edna, which was also the name of one of the characters in the aforementioned book (who herself turned out to be a ghost). Edna was omitted from the TV adaptation of that episode.
* NamedByTheAdaptation: Hannah is given the last name of Stoneman in the episode.
* RaceLift: Arjun and Sean's races are swapped, so the former is white and the latter is Indian.
* ShoutOut:
** Sean always talks first, usually followed by Arjun just repeating the last word or two that he said. As Alex points out, this makes the pair reminiscent of ''WesternAnimation/BeavisAndButtHead''.
** Big Edna, the bus driver, might also be an allusion to [[Film/PeeWeesBigAdventure Large Marge]], due to having very similar mannerisms.
* SparedByTheAdaptation: The book version ends with Alex's friend Hannah revealing she is a werewolf, then pouncing and sinking her teeth into him. The episode ''still'' ends with Hannah revealing she is a werewolf, but this time she tells Alex she doesn't bite.
