Say Cheese and Die! Book and Television
This is the Goosebumps story. It is not the Roblox park. The park, the camera loop, and the 14 endings are on the home page.
The 1992 book
R. L. Stine's Say Cheese and Die! is a Goosebumps book built around a sinister camera. The Open Library record for ISBN 9780590453684 identifies Scholastic and a publication year of 1992. This is a bibliographic record for that edition; later covers and reissues can carry other identifiers. Page counts and exact publication months are omitted here because the accessible record does not establish them.

The Ryan Gosling television episode
Collider identifies Gosling as Greg Banks in the original show's adaptation, season 1 episode 15. Its account follows Greg and friends finding a camera in the Coffman house and seeing disturbing photographs become real. That article also describes differences from the book. Use the actor and the original television series when looking for this version; a search for the title alone can surface the newer episode instead.
The 2023 series opener
The newer Goosebumps series began on Disney+ and Hulu on 13 October 2023, according to Disney's D23 announcement. Rotten Tomatoes identifies its first episode as Say Cheese and Die! and describes Isaiah discovering an old camera while helping throw a Halloween party at the Biddle House. This is a television episode, rather than a theatrical film. The 2023 launch platforms are historical release information; check a local catalogue for a current viewing option.
Why this is separate from the Roblox story
Both stories use cameras, but that shared object does not make them the same work. The Roblox description names Nicky Case's We Become What We Behold as its inspiration. For that camera-and-television feedback loop, read the Roblox story explanation. For a different game or product with the same phrase, use the entity comparison.
