I think you use the screwdriver to get the thing out of the sink (I might be remembering incorrectly).

The walk home from school today is going to be a lot spookier than usual... Your sleepy neighborhood’s been overrun by monsters! Werewolves prowl the woods, gnomes roam underfoot, and scarecrows walk at midnight. But these aren’t ordinary monsters—they’re R.L. Stine’s famous Goosebumps monsters, released from their books and looking to wreak havoc!

If the player tries to enter the furnace in the basement of Dead House, the player is met with a message saying, "Nope! So Much Nope!" This is a reference to the "Nope!" Internet meme. Some encounters will just require you to speak with the person or monster you've encountered and select the correct options at the correct times. Use clues from their dialogue, your inventory, and your knowledge of the Goosebumps series to make the correct choices, and don't fear a Game Over. Even if you get one, you'll just reset to the last safe spot you were in, usually only a moment or two before where you died. Game Overs can also occur just from exploring the environment in ridiculous ways. I don't recommend jumping down holes without a plan for how you might safely reach the bottom!

Stine. Sitting beside the side of the shed is a bottle of Weed Killer. Collect it before going down and then left to walk into the Woods. Stay Out of the Basement: Dr. Brewer's Clone appears as an enemy. There's also an achievement called "Stay Out of the Forest," which is achieved by using weed killer on the clone. Go Eat Worms!: A song found on the protagonist's computer shares its name with the title of the book. It is also used as the name of an achievement, which is achieved by dying in 10 different ways. Zapped in Space: One of the videos games you find in your room is "Adrift off Vega." The mall arcade is called Zapp's Arcade.

Other, more "boss"-like encounters with monsters can also occur, which also require correct item use on the correct bits of the monster at the correct time. Again, you'll have to use the context clues from items and what you know of the monster and environment to pass them unscathed, but there's little risk of failure. You'll get to try again.
