I can't really remember many of them but I DO remember that the ending of Welcome to Camp Nightmare blew me away at the time.

No I'm pretty sure that was Welcome to Horror Land. Camp Nightmares twist was the camp was a training exercise to prepare for a space exposition...to Earth.

The kids go down under the trap door and find a homeless guy living under there, so they think it was him who was the phantom/ghost, then at the end the MC opens her locker and finds a yearbook dated 50 years in the past, when the school had their fire, and they looked at who was supposed to be the phantom and it was their friend named Brian who "just moved there".

So it was their new friend all along who was the phantom, he died in the fire during the play 50 years ago

The one where the evil magician offers the kid a chance at show business and turns him into a rabbit. Despite the betrayal, the kid seems okay with the arrangement because it means stardom.

If I recall correctly wasn't the rabbit the magician all along in that book?

I remember the Cuckoo Clock book where at the end MC's sister got erased from the timeline and he's perfectly fine with it. Like yeah she was a total bitch but that's still pretty cold.

It's about an athletics camp. You get a King Coin any time you win a competition. You get six and you become a Winner who mysteriously disappears. It turns out that the camp's mascot, King Jellyjam, is a real creature who is so disgusting that he must constantly be washed and cleaned - but only the best can wash King Jellyjam's ass.

Oh I remember the central story, even some smaller parts like it starting off with the protagonist & her brother riding along in the trailer of their parents car & the trailer getting derailed & arriving at the camp. It's remembering the twist at the end that's bugging me...

Ghost Camp's ending was just depressing if I remember correctly. Only one that I remember off the top of my head but I know there were others where I was just like "the fuck did I just read?"

Update; I just checked the Wiki:

Wendy, Elliot, and the freed child slaves rush out of the igloo, but are stopped by the band of brainwashed counselors. Just as they are about to attack, the police arrive to investigate the source of the campground's stench (which has been plaguing the people living by it for quite some time). Wendy and Elliot are soon reunited with their parents. Two weeks after the events of the camp, Buddy (now rehabilitated) stops by the house to award Elliot his sixth King Coin. Just as Elliot is about to take it, a horrible stench fills the room. Wendy panics, but it's revealed that the stench is just Wendy's mother cooking brussel sprouts.


I remembered the part about them being reunited with their parents & being visited by one of their old counselors and thought there was more to it; guess not. :S

What was the one where a kid finds a typewriter that makes whatever is typed come true and he makes some huge blob creature, but the typewriter breaks before the kid can undo the blob thing, and the kid realizes that the power to rewrite reality is in him all along (he uses a pen and then just his thoughts after the typewriter breaks) but then it's revealed that the entire book was the blob creature writing a story about a human kid and that the ending he wrote sucked and it rewrites the ending so that the blob creature in the story ends up just eating everyone?
