Haunted Mask II: Parts 1&2 (Goosebumps TV Series)

Haunted Mask II is the eleventh and twelfth episode of season two of the 1990s kids horror show Goosebumps, and the thirtieth and thirty-first episode overall. Part one and part two premiered on October 29, 1996 on Fox as a one hour special.

Why They Rock

 * 1) It picks up on where the second episode of the first two-parter left off. Carly Beth's learned to accept herself for who she is and haunted mask is also shown to have returned from where Carly Beth buried it and possessed the shop keeper of the store containing the haunted masks.
 * 2) The episode contains a high amount of stakes, similar to the first episode. But they're arguably even highly here due to a total of not one, but two people being possessed by the haunted masks, unlike the first episodes.
 * 3) Top-notch acting (as to be expected from a show like Goosebumps).
 * 4) The effects used for the haunted masks once they attach themselves to their victims' faces are phenomenal.
 * 5) The scene in the second episode when Carly Beth jumps in the way of the haunted mask in order to save Steve from it was very brave and heroic of her, especially considering how it's the exact thing that causes the mask to come off.
 * 6) By the end of the 2nd part, Steve ultimately redeems his behavior towards Carly Beth when he and Chuck decide to stop picking on her. Which is especially heartwarming when you consider how badly they treated her in the first episode. And how they've ultimately learned from their mistakes and decided to change themselves for the better.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) They're are quite a few differences from here and the book it's based on.
 * 2) It doesn't really expand on anything from the first two-parter and mostly uses already existing plot points from it's predecessor.

Trivia

 * Posters of Courtney Love and Cable appear on the walls of Steve's bedroom.
 * "The" is omitted from this episode's title.
