A nighttime campfire scene in a dark forest, but all the campers are books. A tall book stands behind the fire, lit dramatically from below as if telling a scary story, and says: "And then... after they had ripped out half of her pages... they turned her... into a movie!" Two of the listening books gasp in horror, each with a speech bubble reading "GASP!" The joke: for books, having your story butchered into a film adaptation is the ultimate ghost-story horror. Votey: a green book stands upright on two legs with its arms thrown up, terrified, screaming "MAAAH!"
