The book I am reviewing is Goosebumps the haunted mask by RL Stines. It is a science fiction book. My thinking of the books theme would be never try to do anything with a bad intention because if you do it you might be in big trouble and also love can destroy all evil in the world.

This book is about a girl named Carly Beth. She has lots of friends like chuck, Steve and Sabrina. The only problem is they really enjoy scaring Carly beth like usual she always gets scared one day chuck and Steve snea...more

Book Review
I like this book because something good always happens in each chapter. Yes I would recommend this book to the other eight graders because they might think it is a good book too. Yes this book teaches you something. It teaches you that you shouldn't ask for anything dangerous and always check if the mask is safe to use. I hope to be able to read The Haunted Mask 2 because I really enjoyed the first part.
The most important quote in this book would probably have to be “scaredy cat”. I...more

This reminds me of that episode of Buffy where a curse--or a spell, or something, whatever it was--turns everyone into whatever they're dressed as for Halloween. Except not as funny. Or as scary. And without the benefit of Giles getting all unexpectedly hot at the end and laying the smackdown. Mmm, Tony Head...

...what was I saying? Oh, right. This is still pretty good, for what it is. It's unsettling, the idea of putting something on for a while, only to realize too late that, not only can you n...more

Review: R.L. STINE excels once again at horror fiction. This is certainly his genre. Anyway, this is a book that I have read previously in my old school. When I read books now, I analyze parts of the book. I thought this book was great but with a few exceptions. The first exception is the vocabulary. I know that this book is for younger children but now I have distinguished & clarified that even for myself. Despite this exception, I thought to some extent the language & content was image...more

Okay I know that this is a Goosebumps book, but this is actually one of the better ones. Some of them I don't really care for but I really like this one because's it's a true horror story. I first read it back when I was 9 and it terrified me. It's about a girl who is easy to scare named Carly Beth. She is constantly teased for being so easily frightened, especially by her two friends Chuck and Steve who scare her every chance they get. As Halloween approaches, Carly Beth decides to get even wit...more

Shelves: goosebumps
Haunted Mask is an obvious parody of the classic science fiction story. Including a plot structure of normal kids getting involved in scary situations and twists. Thankfully the central conflict appeared to resolve itself in the end and the kids were ok.


Having forgotten much of the storyline, I will be re-living my goosebumps days and skimming through them in the coming months!

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...more

I’ve been keeping quite busy reading many shorts on my Sony reader as lately and some how found reading Haunted Mask a little less spooky knowing I didn’t need to turn pages because it’s all on an electronic file in my reader. And I was visiting family in the hospital and found myself on a bench for two hours listening to the chatter.
This is number eleven in the genre series from R.L. Stine and I think it’s interesting in a way by contrasting it with later work all the stories are terrific and...more

Definitivamente uno de los mejores libros de la serie hasta el momento. He leído 19.

La historia consiguió atraparme y sorprenderme con los giros que fue dando a final. Inclusive es un tanto desesperante al entrar en los sentimientos de Beth y muy divertido con las situaciones que fue creando el autor. Además tiene un buen mensaje, y no se dedica solo a contar una moraleja, sino que te lleva por varios caminos para hasta tú mismo decir "tiene razón", moraleja muy cierta y muy entendible (a pesar...more

The Haunted Mask is a book about a poor girl who is bullied, doesn't have good friends, is easily scared and is not old enough to dress (or undress) herself like a Catwoman or a Sexy Nurse for Halloween.

However, this is one of the most known books of Goosebumps, it has a good story, a strange shopkeeper, mean kids, a girl who wants revenge and off course the scariest mask ever.

I believe this book really teaches kids not get revenges for beeing bullied, and to find confort and love on their fami...more

This book is about a girl named Carly Beth and her friends. It is around Halloween, and she doesn't want to be just another costume. She wants something really scary. She finds a mask shop and finds a really scary mask. She then finds out a little too late that the mask could take over her life.

The movie and the book are almost identical. There are a few differences though. In one instance, Carly Beth is going into the mask shop to talk to the owner. Her and the owner have a very long discussion...more

this is yet another great book from the goosebump series. in this book, carly beth, who is a "scaredy cat", buys a mask against the store owners warnings. it is the scariest mask she has ever seen. she is completely shock to find that the mask is so much as a perfect fit, that it looks and feels like her own skin. but as halloween night goes on, carly beth starts to change, and it's not good. it's like she's become some sort of wild animal. the only way to change back to normal, is to take the m...more

This is the book "The Haunted Mask" from R.L. Stine. I found this book very interesting because the mask permanately sticks on the girl's face. But I don't think the ending was good. She had to find a symbol of love to get the mask off? That part didn't make a lot of sense to me. I loved the book in all the other parts though.
I picked this book up because I am interested by horror books. I just enjoy goosebumps books. They're short stories that are very entertaining and you have fun reading them...more

Goosebumps is my favorite series of all times along with my favorite author, R.L. Stine. I can honestly say that I have close to ALL the books of the Goosebumps series along with Fear Street. In this book, it is close to halloween and a boy named Steve wanted to get the scariest costume he could find. He found out about the place that sold the scariest costumes of all. He picks the mask that made him look like a hideous old man. But everything starts to feel so wrong when he felt weak and tired...more

In this book, the main character, Carly, is picked on at school for being a "scaredy-cat", but readers will feel just as jumpy as she deals with the crazed duck costumes, hairy tarantulas, and live worms. When she finally gets an opportunity to take her revenge, readers will turn from having sympathy for Carly to being scared to death of her and what she can do with her new super scary mask. This book is not only entertaining, but give a strong moral on being treated the way you want to be treat...more

This book was sort of scary to read. This is about a girl that needs to buy a mask and finds herself in a mask shop. She wanders to the back and finds these really scary masks. She buys one and tries it on. The mask seems to have a life on its on and it was crazy. This book was very weird but interesting to read. There is plenty of things happening and I like how it ended nicely. The thing about this series is that something usually happens at the end when everything turns back to normal. Anyway...more

This was the first Goosebumps novel I've read, but when I was younger, I LOVED his Fear Street series. I remember them being really creepy. This novel...well, not so much.

A long time ago, a man named William made the best Halloween masks in the world---beautiful, creative and very lifelike. His brother, Randolph, comes to visit and he's made some masks, too...but his are terrifying. He forces one on William and the mask melds with his face. William manages to get it off, but his face comes off,...more
