The Haunted Mask is a two part episode from the Goosebumps series and was the first episode from the show. The episode tells the tale of a young girl named Carly Beth who is a shy timid girl who gets bullied in school over her costume for Halloween. Desperate to find something more scarier,she stumbles across a mysterious novelty shop where Carly finds a ton of masks. The owner of the shop freaks out and she grabs a mask from the stand and runs off.
So when Carly gets home she says i'll show them and decides to put it on. When she does put it on her best friend Sabrina finds that there is something wrong with Carly as her voice changes when she has the mask on. She later takes off the mask and decides to put it on again. But later on in the show she tries to take it off but of course she can't seem to find the part where she can take it off as it is now stuck on her face and she cannot remove it. Scared she goes back to the shop and the owner of the shop says that the only way to remove the mask is if she can love herself more and when she does the mask is removed and she is back to herself again.
Will the mask come back again to find another host.
Overall this episode creeps me out ever since I was a kid. The actress as Carly Beth was very good and the moral of the film is all about accepting your own skin and to love yourself more. It actually reminds me of the 1994 film The Mask where Stanley puts on a mask and actually alters his personality. So I know I am off track here but Carly Beth reminds me of Stanley Ipkiss where she was trying to be something she wasn't.
If you want something to scare the crap out of you. Watch this for Halloween. Enjoy.
