[edit] TV Adaption
How I Got My Shrunken Head was adapted into an episode of the Goosebumps television series. The episode was basically the same plot as the book that the episode was based on. However, the ending was different where the Hawlings were still small, but in the possession of Mark who tells them that her aunt will find a way to restore them to their rightful sizes by his next birthday.
