Evil Camera (Goosebumps)

==Summary==
"The Evil Camera" was an object used in the Goosebumps books entitled Say Cheese And Die!, Say Cheese And Die! -- Again! and Say Cheese -- And Die Screaming!. The camera was originally intended to be a special type of camera that would serve as the latest in photo technology. After the camera was stolen by "Dr. Fritz" from its unnamed inventor, it strangely became cursed. The inventor had knowledge of black magic and placed a curse on the camera to prevent Fritz from using it to obtain fame and fortune in place of the true creator. After taking a picture of anyone, the Camera alters their fate, usually to have a grizzly demise.

Notable Attacks/Techniques:
* Future Alteration: The Camera is cursed to alter the future, causing bad things to happen. Whenever a photo is taken with the camera, the photo will show something bad happening in the image. The photo will come true after a length of time ranging from a few seconds to days or weeks later. If a photo is taken of an object, the object will be destroyed. If a photo is taken of a living being, something bad will happen to them. Taking a second photo will make things even worse instead of undoing it. Sometimes the effects can be reversed by destroying the photo, though Screaming reveals this does not always work. It is also possible to reverse the effects by turning the photo into a negative. Screaming shows that trying to digitally alter the photos through a computer will not work, as the photos cannot be edited in such a way.
Weaknesses: Requires someone to use it, or most of its abilities are useless. The effects of The Camera can be reversed if the photo is altered or (sometimes) destroyed. The accidents and horrific events it can cause can still be prevented. If an event depicted in a photo is prevented, injuries and inflictions caused by previous photos will be undone.
