Carly Beth is quiet and shy -- easily scared and overly trusting. She's never seen such a great Halloween mask -- really scary, really creepy, and really life-like. She has to have it -- to scare those boys who tease and humiliate her all the time! And when she does get it, the mask is every bit as weirdly spooky as she had hoped it would be. But wearing the mask seems to be causing strange things to happen to her and other people. Can the mask -- the symbol of her revenge -- be the cause of it all? What strange powers could a Halloween mask have? Unwilling to give up the mask, or to believe that it could be evil, she keeps on wearing it -- only to discover one day that she can't take the mask off. Carly Beth and the mask have become one.

Customer Rating: Summary: THIS MOVIE KICKS!! Comment: 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!!!! Customer Rating: Summary: AWSOME! Comment: That movie was cool!The mask was reely creepy it was proboly the scaryest goosebumps you should watch it its #1! Customer Rating: Summary: Really good! Comment: I realized something today, this one was better than The Haunted Mask II! I've always liked The Haunted Mask II more than the first. But now, I like the first movie better. It's so cool how the mask becomes one with you. Buy the movie! I can't see why anyone wouldn't like this movie (Except for my brother). Customer Rating: Summary: THE BEST GOOSEBUMP MOVIE EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Comment: This was the BEST Goosebump movie EVER!!! It had such GREAT acting!!! The Shopkeeper was GREAT! I LOVED this movie. And it was FUNNY!!!! I LOVED the part when Carly Beth scared Chuck and Steve to death! They needed a good scare. They were always making fun of her.
