Looking back on this book, I don't know what kind of moron would go lurking around dark alleys and going to Halloween costume stores at night, but I remember feeling exhilarated and scared as hell at the time.

What another fun read in my quest of reading all of the Goosebumps and R.L. Stine books!
This is the sequel to The Haunted Mask, an earlier book in the series. Yet again, a middle grade child wants to wear a spooky mask... And these masks aren't just creepy, they are nearly impossible to get off.
This book is definitely a good, scary read for a middle grader. It has cliffhanger chapter endings which make it fun to continue reading. It is repetitive if you've read the first book, but if you haven't it's a great read. Horror tropes for middle graders can be really tough to tackle, but R.L. Stine makes these scary enough but not too scary for the age group. Anywho, it's tough to follow one of the greatest early Goosebumps read, so I give this a solid 3.
Three out of five stars.

A boy buys a mask from the same store that the protagonist of the first Haunted Mask book bought hers.

It doesn’t receive the same fanfare as the first Haunted Mask, but I quite enjoyed this one. Not really a sequel per say, but more of a continuation of the original story a year later with a friend. Carly is hardly in this story. But Steve is an interesting protagonist.
