Although he never experienced terror first hand, he did enjoy reading about it. “When I was a kid, there were these great comic books called Tales From The Crypt and The Vault of Horror. They were gruesome. I discovered them in the barbershop and thought they were fabulous. I used to get a haircut every Saturday so I wouldn't miss any of these comic books. I had no hair at all when I was a kid!”

Lucy Dark likes tormenting her younger brother into thinking that monsters are real – till she learns that her librarian Mr. Mortman is one. Steve Boswell goes to the mask shop that Carly Beth went to in the first book and buys an old man mask to scare the little kids he is forced to coach in school as punishment for a prank from before and much like Carly Beth in the first book, Steve finds out that the mask he bought is bent on warping the personality of anyone who wears it for too long. Poor Matt Krinsky! Not only are his parents making him move away from all of his friends, but they're enrolling him in a boarding school. It's not a strict place, but that doesn't mean things are normal. While Matt is used to being one of the better athletes in his class, these kids move at a dead-slow pace. It doesn't take long for him to realize that he's surrounded by zombies. And his classmates have begun to notice his heartbeat and warm skin. Can Matt convince them he is undead long enough to stay alive? Evan and his friend Andy once again contend with the evil novelty slime called Monster Blood. This time, Andy is revealed to still have some of it left and accidentally feeds it to the class hamster Cuddles.

However believable his plots seem to his readers, Stine insists he has never lived one of his stories. “I"ve never turned into a bee - I've never been chased by a mummy or met a ghost. But many of the ideas in my books are suggested by real life. For example, one Halloween my son, Matt, put a mask on and then had trouble pulling it off. That gave me the idea for The Haunted Mask.” This book includes the following graphic novel adaptations: The Horror At Camp Jellyjam adapted by Kyle Baker, Ghost Beach adapted by Ted Naifeh and Revenge of the Lawn Gnomes adapted by Dean Haspiel.
