Well, i figured it would be much eaiser to use the kids reviw-less time spent, more wrighting! A message to everyone who has not seen this movie - Your missing out on a classic. The move is about a girl named carly beth ( Wich in itself is creepy) who is allways getting picked on. Chuck and Steve,two classmates, are allways playing jokes on her, trying to scare her. Which by the way allways works. Carly Beth Wants to get eternal revenge on them for thier crule tricks, so, she goes out to find a scary mask. One day she stumbles into a novelty shop and basicly steals a mask. By the way, allthough this movie was made from smaller childeren, I found the mask scary. The artsits did a great job. It really looks real! Im a teenager and i was scared! Well, slightly anyhow. The rest of the plot developes into a halloween night of revenge and the creepy thruth about the mask at the end.

I rememeber seeing this episode when i was small, and it was hard to follow the plot twards the ending at a young age. The part when the store keeper ( wich by the way is a pretty good actor) explains how the masked got to be, didnt make sence to me untill i saw it recently, and its still a bit fuzzy. I recamend this to anyone. Unless they are like 4 and get sacred by anything like I was. However, I have never read Further than the first chapter in this book, wich is written wonderfly. I have heard that twards the end it tends to run off course a bit.

Carly Beth and her friend are pertrayed perfectly, as are Chuck, Steve, and all the other characters.

A Few Complaints:
1. The Acting is overall OK. I understand this was made for Tv and they are child actors, but they coudl have brushed up a bit. ( espacially in the scene where carly beth in studdering uncontrolably to the store keeper)
2. Just a little something that bothered me- The canadian acent. Personaly, I think the Canadian acent is an awsome acsent within itself, but in the movie it was a bit odd. Ex. " TELL CARLY BETH YOUR SORRY(SOOWREY)" in the grave yard sene, but hey it wasnt anything big!
3. The graphics are halariouse! THE PART WHEN THE HEADS ARE FLOATING IS JUST TOO MUCH! but hey it add to the feel.

Over all the message is this - YOU NEED TO OWN THIS EPIC PEICE OF ART!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THEY REALLY DIDI A GREAT JOB ON KEEPING EVERYTHING CREEPY!!!!

This movie ''The Haunted Mask'' has a good plot. It all starts with Carly Beth putting on a mask. She doesn't know that the mask can't be taken off.
With help from Sabrina,her best friend,Carly Beth better get the evil mask off...before it becomes her face...forever!
I think it's scary. Every minute,something scary occurs.
R.L.Stine writes scary books. And,surprising.
This scary film teaches a lesson of love but in a scary way.
So,i think everybody should see this.
It's very scary,and surprising.
Nobody knew the mask was evil.
It was a surprise. A surprise in disguise.
That rhymes. So,see it to believe it.
My critic business rocks my foundation.
So,see The Haunted Mask now!

great movie for the tough 5yr old who isn't so tough after all. just make sure they don't watch just before going to bed as you will surely be sleeping in their room tonight.

Shy,quiet Carly Beth is an easy target for everyone's teasing and jokes.But this Halloween she's found a wonderfully spooky mask that has her jokers running and scared.Carly Beth refuses to take her new mask off,even though it seems to have cause strange things to happen to othr people.Later that nighht,Carly beth discover that she and the mask have become one!
A great kids movie for Halloween.

Although this is a 'childrens series', this story is facinating and terrifying for all ages. The Mask itself would probably be the most frightening thing, if it was not for the amazing acting skills of Kathryn Long as Carly Beth Caldwell. In truth, I purchased this tape to see Cody Jones, who portrays her little brother Noah, but Ms. Long's preformance was believable and frightening. Definately a tape for all.

I almost wet my pants watching this movie! And that head-on-a-stick that Carly Beth carried around looked so real, no wonder those boys were scared! And when Carly Beth couldn't get that mask off I thought she was a gonner for sure!

The infamous R. L. Stine children's version of FEAR STREET (which is pretty childish itself) is transformed into a live action short thrown on FOX for Halloween. A lot better than one might expect from such a helling unearthed but if you're looking at the cover and questioning renting it, ponder what audience it was designed for first and foremost. Spawned a television show and a sequel short.

As a child, I loved this episode! I still consider it my favorite Goosebumps movie! Carly Beth is sick and tired of being scared all the time by Chuck and Steve, so she decides to get even. She goes to a Novelty Shop and finds the scariest mask she's ever seen. On HALLOWEEN night, Carly and her friend, Sabrina go trick-or-treating and Sabrina notices that Carly has changed ever since she put the mask on. Later, after she gets her revenge and scares Chuck and Steve, she tries to take the mask off, but it has become her new face. Carly goes back to the store and asks the manager for help. He tells her that only the symbol of love can help take the mask off. The other masks like Carly's start to come alive and try to get Carly Beth to join them. Can Carly Betn find the symbol of love in time? If you love Goosebumps, HALLOWEEN, and masks, you'll love THE HAUNTED MASK!!!


(I always felt sorry for Carly Beth and thought she and Sabrina were hot!!!)

Probably one of the best (or the best, actually) of the television series based on R.L. Stine's novels aiming to scare teenagers and pre-teens. This eerily effective and scary GOOSEBUMPS episode delivers enough thrills and chills to actually scare more serious horror fans who find movies like HALLOWEEN and THE EXORCIST scary. Just the thought of this normal Halloween mask (which first of all, is extremely scary looking to begin with) being stuck on your face as you slowly become the monster is just frightening. The script is nicely written so that it doesn't cross the line into extreme horror, but it does maintain excellent atmosphere.

picked on at home, picked on at school, 12-year old Carly Beth is going to teach chuck and steve a lesson they will never forget. there's a new store in town and and she buys an ugly, hiddeist mask. it's everything Carly Beth hoped it would be. and more, and even more! mabye TOO much more! because halloween is almost over. and Carly Beth is still wearing that mask!
