Welcome to Goosebeast! | Goosebumps recap S01E01

About this episode

The episode recaps the first episode of Goosebumps, focusing on the story of Carly Beth and her haunted mask.

Carly Beth falls for every prank played on her. So on Halloween, she buys the scariest mask possible at an off limits room at an old store. However, little does she know that the mask has a mind of its own. After two years of talking about horror movies every week, we've decided it's time to change things up a bit. We are retiring Ghostbeast and taking a trip down memory lane to the show that has influenced many millenial horror fans - Goosebumps! Join us every week as Todd takes a backseat, and Becca hosts a recap of the series that was influential to her early interests as a horror artist. Get ready for commercial breaks, heavy handed life lessons, and Canadian child actors as we kick things off with the iconic story that started it all: The Haunted Mask.
