魔力面具 Goosebumps:The haunted mask (1995)

　　The story begins a few days before Halloween in a canteen at the fictional Walnut Avenue Middle School. The story's protagonist, eleven-year-old Carly Beth Caldwell, is sitting talking about her trick or treating costu...展开me with her best friend Sabrina Mason. Carly Beth is a quiet, shy, and overly trusting girl. She is easily scared of almost everything, and repeatedly humiliated by her friends, Chuck Greene and Steve Boswell, at school who call her a "scaredy cat", and delight in making her life a misery. After being tricked by Steve into eating a sandwich that contained a live worm, Carly Beth flees home in shame and vows revenge.
　　At home, Carly Beth discovers her mother has made a perfect likeness of Carly Beth's face from plaster of paris as a symbol of her love for her. Carly Beth is also annoyed to discover her mother has made her a silly duck costume. Carly Beth goes to her room, where her little brother, Noah, has dressed up in her costume and frightens her. After Carly Beth sends Noah away, she phones Sabrina and they talk about the cruel prank Steve played on her. Carly Beth swears she will never fall for one of their stunts again, and muses about buying a horrible mask from a new shop that has just opened. The day before Halloween a science fair, Carly Beth is once again made a fool of after Steve pretends his tarantula has escaped, knowing too well Carly Beth is terrified of spiders. Steve sneaks up behind Carly Beth and pinches her leg, making it seem as though the tarantula is biting her. Carly Beth runs off in tears, after everyone laughs at her. On Halloween day she collects her money and sets off for the costume shop, distraught that it is closed. However the mysterious owner of the shop allows her entry and she unwillingly stumbles upon a back room filled with the most hideous, deformed masks she has ever seen. The owner refuses to sell her the one she wants, but she is insistent. Thrilled she goes home, puts on the mask and scares her brother. However the mask won't come off, and when it finally does, Carly Beth and Noah are unsure as to how she unintentionally changed her voice to a hoarse growl.
　　After putting on the mask, Carly Beth steals the Plaster of Paris mould of her head that her mother made for her and goes in search of Chuck and Steve, determined to make them pay. Yet strange things happen to her. She acts like a totally different person: she attacks Sabrina, frightens young children and vandalises the neighbourhood. After meeting Chuck and Steve and scaring them, Carly Beth is horrified to notice that the mould of her face spoke, imploring Steve and Chuck to "help" her. Steven and Chucky run off in fear and Carly Beth gleefully abandons the plaster face.
　　Back at Sabrina's house, Carly Beth cannot remove the mask. To her horror Sabrina discovers that there no space between the mask and her skin. The mask has become Carly Beth's own face. Rather than seeing her own normal eyes staring back at her in the mirror, Carly Beth sees evil, animalistic, orange eyes leering back at her. Sobbing, she returns to the shop where she bought the mask and finds the owner waiting for her. He knew she'd come back.
　　Despite her pleas, the shopkeeper tells Carly Beth that the mask cannot be removed as it is not a mask: it is a real, living face. He created them and they were once beautiful, but they decayed and became hideous, repulsive monsters. They are known as "The Unloved". Every so often a person, like Carly Beth, finds one, thinking it to be a mask, puts it on and the face finds a body to fuse with and to take over their mind. The shopkeeper tells Carly Beth the only way to remove the mask is to find a "symbol of love". But if it ever attaches itself to her or another, it will be forever.
　　Carly Beth's hysterical screams awaken the evil masks who pursue her down the street, and she finally realizes that the mould her mother gave her is a symbol of love. Carly Beth uses it to deter the masks and remove the monstrous face that has attached itself to her. She abandons the mask and returns home to her mother. However, Noah apparently puts on the mask.
