The Haunted Mask is my favorite Goosebumps book & Goosebumps villain. Screw Slappy. The Haunted Mask would use him as a chew toy. Also, how poignant is it we've heard for years about the dangers brought on by anonymity and disassociation, with the Mask, the Haunted Mask, the Green Goblin, etcetera, and in the modern day, the internet has proved this doom saying true, because no one listened.

I'd be interested to see you review the "Chillogy" the Goosebumps tv show did, should you decide to revisit the series. It started my lifelong fascination with tricksters, seeing the episode's villain, Karl Knave, turn a girl's greed against her and reduce her to a pig for her avarice.

I mean in a pearl-clutching 50’s suburbs way. I can’t imagine a Goosebumps-like show coming out fresh now, without it being lampooned as too dark for kids.

The Haunted Mask was a staple of my childhood, as well. Not only is it the scariest, darkest, most grounded Goosebumps episode, but it's leagues above the other episodes in every single way. The performances are surprisingly powerful, the story is very well thought out, the themes are very compelling, and there is a high level of craftsmanship/quality.

Tommy Ross If you want to read some Goosebumps books that are just as good, if not, better than The Haunted Mask, read How I Learned to Fly and I Live in Your Basement. The former is a fantasy drama about the fears of fame and the desire for affection, while the latter is a psychological horror that combines elements of Inception, Jacob’s Ladder and A Nightmare on Elm Street with a lot of disturbing imagery for a Goosebumps book, let alone a _kids_ book (it rival’s the Scary Stories To Tell in The Dark trilogy in terms of disturbing and gruesome imagery for a kids book), a constant sense of mystery, excellent pacing, a constant sense of paranoia and uncertainty of what is real, what isn’t real and what you truly remember.

I personally found the second mask episode scarier. Mostly because I've suffered from asthma all my life, and as a child seeing the boy struggle to breathe because the mask was ageing him really struck a chord with me. The wheezing and the raspy voice was terrifying to me. But this episode was still better than the second one, and certainly in regards to storytelling.

I’m still haunted by a goosebumps called Three Wishes, if I remember correctly. It’s the same old be careful what you wish for story, but at the end her bully gets the three wishes and her first one is asking for the main character to “just fly away already”, based on the nickname her bully gave her. I don’t remember exactly what the nickname was, but it was based on a bird. The main character transforms into a bird and narrates as if in a trance, leaving behind the family and friends she had only just learned to appreciate after she fought to take back her three wishes. That always stuck with me, even after almost ten years.

Moving to someplace new, fear of boredom and making friends, doubt from your family, a town that is in financial decline, overcast with some sun, and everybody is overly friendly but lack personality. This book/episode was very Stephen King in my opinion and less R.L. the symbol of positivity / heirloom is pretty fucking scary to be feared or disliked by both vampires and the living.

Any goosebumps remakes or adaptions should be done only with practical effects, it's what made the show so freaky.

My mom used to watch the old Goosebumps show, and when it was on one day she asked if I wanted to watch it with her. Of course I'd been terrified just *looking* at the covers of the books, and kept yelling no, even though she insisted it wasn't all that scary and the show was meant for kids. ...Now I'm pretty glad I made that decision. I'm not only a wuss, but that shit would have traumatized me. My mom was not at fault for trying to get me to watch it, however! She (and the rest of her family) was always fond of horror films and scary stuff, and had no idea I hadn't inherited that little "horror-lover" gene until a few years later.

i love that he brought up the tall man scene from "It Follows" that scene is a masterclass in suspense for one of the best reveals I've seen

I like how personal the video is, It also got me wondering if as kids we could explore and understand certain ideas in a more powerful way through mild horror like Goosebumps. It's not traumatizing but its got some teeth, and when something gets under your skin you're going to start wondering why. I'd love to contribute to the children's horror genre someday.

I would love to see more analysis of this show (or really any old Kids shows.) children's media rarely gets looked at with the same kind of critical eye as more mature fare. There seems to be a prevalent idea that kids will watch anything, so entertainment for them doesn't have to be high quality. But I would argue that a child's willingness to watch anything is precisely why they need to be given high quality art. what we love as children will inform what we love the rest of our lives. Therefore, we should expose our kids to art that is well crafted and worth loving.

Ever watched any of Linkara's every episode of Power Ranger seasons reviews? For a kids show review series, I'd say he gives them a very good critical eye.

The Haunted Mask really gets me emotional every time. It's hard to see how much suffering Carly Beth goes through and how she starts to hate herself, how her despair led her to the mask. This sweet, innocent girl completely lost herself in her grief and anger and became this sadistic demonic creature. Chuck and Steve might've thought they were having fun but they really caused a lot of emotional torment for Carly Beth. People die nowadays over this stuff. That's why it's so very important to be kind to each other.

The haunted mask just serves to remind us that the true monster is humanity. At first glance you'd probably be distracted by the grotesqueness of the mask to see that the feelings that motivate the mask are pure human. The mask exploits Carly Beth's anger and her resentment, two essentially human qualities. Not emotions we display as our best qualities, the mask simply allows Carly Beth's to express her previously impeded, unvoiced feelings, thus she embraces the shadow aspect of her personality, and once the mask is overcome, she has reached a sort of self actualization, the ability to acknowledge her less appealing traits, and embrace her humanity, all of her humanity.

Ahh this was my favourite episode as a kid. Nice video 👌

The funny thing about goosebumps is the one thing that fucked me up as a kid wasn't even a traditionally scary episode. It was the one where the kids dare this other kid into a haunted house and it ends with him basically making a deal with the ghosts that if they let him go they can have the others. The look on their faces when the ghosts inform them that the kid they came in to find left them...shudders I think that stuck with me (even if the rest of the plot I cant quite remember) because I realised that people can be truly cold AF. It made me shiver and paranoid for ages...wondering if anyone I know would make that deal. I know the kids he sold out weren't his friends (maybe dicks/bullies. Like I said vague on the plot) but it kept me up at night wondering what happened after. The missing kids posters. The town wide panic. Grieving parents. Assemblies at school. Vigils...and of course how he could sleep at night. Live his life. Keep his secret. Again *shudders Dunno but to me that's the most effed up thing goosebumps did.
