The story is generally intriguing and a unique concept of a haunted mask but the characters… ugh. Basically we follow Carly Beth (Carly Bitch to me) who is a frightened, sensitive pick-me girl and is tired of being scared all the time so she wants the ugliest, more horrific mask to wear on halloween. She buys one from a shopkeeper who was quite insistent on not selling her it but she pushed and pushed (karma love) and it changes her face (obvs), voice and personality kinda. She goes around scaring peeps then is like I’m ready to take it off but… it won’t come off!! Oh no!! Will she be stuck like this? Also the other characters were all meh. 

It had potential but Carly Bitch was just totes annoy-noy 🙄
