Hello, You're Dead was the title of one of the horror movies owned by Rodrick. The movie's plot involved a disembodied Muddy Hand going around killing people, and the last person who sees it is always the next victim. When Greg and Rowley watched the movie during a sleepover at Greg's house, Rowley had his eyes and ears covered the whole movie while Greg saw it and later described it to Rowley. This only leads to Greg's parents finding out about their horror movie night, disappointing them. Susan created the Reading Is Fun club, possibly as a direct result of Greg watching this movie.
