AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'Andy tries to get revenge on Jen by being a Boogeyman under her bed and trying to scare her when Jen and her boyfriend Craig are in the room. However, first Andy encounters a spider and swallows it. He gets up from under the bed and tells Jen to call 0-0-0, but Jen realizes he has been spying on them and decides not to let Andy out of the room to tell his parents. The story ends with Andy vomiting the (still living) spider up, and terrifying both Jen and Craig.' (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Just_Stupid!)
