That’s not how this story ended. NO. NO. NOPE. I will NOT believe that’s how horrifyingly the story ended.
I’ll tell you exactly how it did -
So after Noah introduced himself to her sister with the haunted mask, Carly Beth panicked, she jolted upright from her chair and ran to her brother, and before the mask could completely sink into Noah’s skin, Carly Beth put her hands between the mask and him, and pulled it right off! It hurt Noah a lot, and he had a few scratches over his face, but it was worth it.
Carly Jean did not waste another second, she strode over to her back yard, took out a shovel, dig a hole and threw the damn mask in there, she filled the hole again, and pulled her mother and brother inside her house. She told them everything, and warned his brother never to wear any sort of mask ever again, and for the first time ever, his brother obediently agreed. THE END.
Phewwwww. Oh my goodness, I can’t believe a middle grade book for 11 year olds made me feel so twisted and anxious.
P.S. I finished reading it in one sitting!

I only rated it this high because it made me read when I otherwise wouldn't. Nostalgic value.

Is this the greatest Goosebumps ever? Potentially no but of the ones I've read and can remember, yes. Delightfully spooky and taking place on Halloween which gives it that extra special bump in appropriateness. Think twice the next time you wear a Halloween mask.

This one is a little different to most of the series, in that it has that message of “love cures all”. It definitely has that creepy element to it and makes you wonder how the situation will resolve.

This is more of an overall review of the series, really. When I was a kid, I used to devour these books, but sadly I'd recently somehow managed to forget all about them. I was reminded, however, when I rediscovered this awesome blog: http://www.bloggerbeware.com. These books are a mixture of varying degrees of terrible and amazing - at the same time. I honestly find it really hard to rate them, seeing as they're such a major part of my reading foundation. 11 year-old me would probably have given all of them 5 stars, but alas, I'm no longer 11 years old. In acknowledgement of my young self and the wonderful kitschiness of the series, I've decided on 4 stars. Also, they vary a lot in quality, but seeing as it's been so long since I've read them, I don't remember which ones were best. 4 stars it is.

Listened to this on audio and it was a lot of fun. I’ve been meaning to read more Goosebumps books and Fear Street, and it felt right to start with this one. This is an absolute favorite of mine to watch on TV and I wasn’t disappointed.
