The Haunted Mask Add a review

The Haunted Mask is the eleventh book in the original Goosebumps, the series of children's horror fiction novels created and written by R. L. Stine. The book follows Carly Beth, a girl who buys a rubber mask from a store. After putting on the mask for Halloween, she starts acting differently and discovers that the mask has become her face, being unable to take it off. R. L. Stine says he got the idea for the book from his son who had put on a Frankenstein mask he had trouble getting off.

The Haunted Mask was featured on the USA Today and Publishers Weekly bestseller list, and cited by one reviewer as "ideal for reluctant readers and Halloween-themed sleepovers." In the mid-1990s, the book was adapted for television and released on VHS on March 12, 1996. The Haunted Mask has three published sequels: The Haunted Mask II, The Scream of the Haunted Mask and a stand-alone story, Wanted: The Haunted Mask.
