Goosebumps HorrorLand #4

Scream of the Haunted Mask

De: R. L. Stine

Narrado por: Kate Simses

What should Carly Beth be for Halloween this year? TERRIFIED! Late at night, an ugly green mask is mysteriously calling out to her, and ugly green masks don't like to be ignored.

If Carly Beth survives the night, even a scary theme park might sound like a vacation. Or maybe not! At HorrorLand, every night is Halloween. And those monster masks? They aren't masks at all.

the haunted mask

I liked the story of the stable boy because it was so creepy . I hated the part when something jumped on Carly and Sabrina

Great performance, story, and sound effects!

I’ve been obsessed with Goosebumps since I was a child and specifically The Haunted Mask series of stories. I’d had the print copy of this for years, but never got around to reading it. Recently picked up the audiobook version- and wow! I’m blown away by the performances and all the sound effects that help bring the story to life! I love audiobooks, but tend to zone out if the narration/voicing is too monotonous. This was the perfect blend of voice acting, effects, and music. I was also pleasantly surprised by the story itself. Though it is a children’s book, and therefore wasn’t a huge amount of depth to it, I still found it the most fleshed out and intriguing of The Haunted Mask books so far. It was great to see the usual cast of characters again, and cool to have the extra Horrorland segment at the end. Highly recommend to any Goosebumps fanatics, or anyone wanting a light creepy listen for the fall season. I’ll definitely be checking out the other titles in the Horrorland series!

I love this book because its kinda scary and kinda funny but I have read this wwitb my friends and I love the stable boy CREEEPY

I'm giving this 5 stars
And Carly Beth and Serena ARE SO SCARED!
Can they find a way to get her or he to tell the truth about that it is them

First Dud in the Series

***About This Story***

Scream of the Haunted Mask is a sequel to The Haunted Mask, and this book assumes that you have already read the predecessor. Unfortunately, they do not give you very much details about what happened in The Haunted Mask--but I will: Carly Beth is bullied by two boys at school. She decides the perfect way to get back at them involves a scary Halloween mask, which she steals from a local shop. The mask has a mind of its own, however, and plans to take over Carly Beth's body. During Halloween, the mask takes over Carly Beth while she's out trick or treating with her best friend, Sabrina. In the end, she manages to defeat it by weakening it with a symbol of love.

In this story, Carly Beth has apparently kept the mask locked in the basement to keep others safe from it. Unfortunately, she can still hear its screams in her head. In the meantime, she works after school watching young children at a nearby farm and learns that the stables there are haunted. Whoever is haunting the stables appears to want the mask. Can Carly Beth stop it once and for all?

***Kid's Reaction***
My kid and I were both horribly confused with this story. Carly Beth talks about previous events that happened to her, but rather than being mysterious or peaking our interest, we both felt out of the loop--like when you've missed the first half of someone's conversation. We didn't know why she had this mask, what horrible events she had experienced with it, or what terrible powers it had.

Despite the lack of information, my stepdaughter liked the idea of working in stables and a daycare and thought the ghost story was neat. She gives a 3.5/5, but probably will never listen to it again.

not bad

I liked it seems to be a good series to the classic haunted mask book
And Kate simses is a good reader.

Great

I enjoyed this little story I am actually a 27 year old woman and i still find these books interesting.

Good Enough To Stand On Its Own!

I appreciated how this story didn't just feel like a re-hash of the previous Haunted Mask story. It wasn't just "Same thing, just happening again" It felt unique enough to have its own identity. I like how Carly-Beth has matured since last time & isn't a scaredy-cat anymore, she's grown & changed since we last saw her! It's cool!

Awesome!

This series gives that same nostalgic feel with brand new twists! I can’t wait to get into the next book!
