Goosebumps: The Haunted Mask - R.L. Stine (book review)



The Haunted Mask by R.L. Stine is the forth book in the Goosebumps series. This book will not only leave you scared but also make you laugh and not want to put the book down! Not only that but the way the book ends will make you come back begging for more!

This book is about a girl who gets scared very easily and as a result people take advantage of this and make her a laughing stock including her friends, however she gets tired of this and decides to take matters into her own hands and gets the scariest mask she can find. However, when the mask starts to take over what will happen to her and will she ever get back to normal?

Personally The Haunted Mask is one of my favourite Goosebumps books and even though I am now an adult leaves me scared and makes me laugh. I think this is a great thing for a children's book as it shows that R.L. Stine has a talent for writing horror books for children. I feel that the main character in this book is also very relatable with her friends taking advantage of her weakness and teaches children to stand up for themselves however people still love you even if you don't feel like they do.

I would highly recommend this to children who are looking for a little horror to read and a book that is very easy to read as well. Also I would recommend this to those who love horror books and want to go back to their childhood as these are books that will never grow old.

Trailer:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k4F3Sn-Xzzo My Review: Wanting a style of film I don't usually watch but do enjoy I decided to watch the stalker movie that is My Teacher, My Obsession  which is based on an English teacher who starts at a new school. However, when one of the students gets obsessed with him she will do anything to be with him including secluding him from everyone else. I liked the foreshadowing at the beginning of the movie which matched up to the ending very well and shows how throughout the movie that this was coming up. I also liked how the film showed how the stude

I Am Wrath (film review) *contains spoilers*

Film: I Am Wrath Year: 2016 Genre: Action, Crime, Drama Directed By: Chuck Russell Starring: John Travolta, Christopher Meloni, Amanda Schull About:  A man is out for justice after a group of corrupt police officers are unable to catch his wife's killer. Trailer:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vwiQCDpYzjE My Review: When my mum came home with this movie I had no idea what to expect as I had never heard of it before but liking a lot of movies with John Travolta I had high hopes that I would enjoy it. This film did surprise me a lot and something in which I enjoyed a lot more than I had expected. Starting I Am Wrath with Stanley's wife dying and how he went out for revenge made me think that this was somewhat based off of a John Wick movie, however as a fan of the trilogy this didn't bother me at all. Showing how the police and people higher up didn't care about who killed his wife and even let the killer go as he was part of a gang in which the police wer

Jumanji: Welcome To The Jungle (film review)

Film: Jumanji: Welcome To The Jungle Year: 2017 Genre: Action, Adventure, Comedy Cast: Dwayne Johnson, Karen Gillan, Kevin Hart, Jack Black About:  Four teenagers are sucked into a magical video game, and the only way they can escape is to work together to finish the game. My Review: As someone who grew up watching the Jumanji film with Robin Williams I was worried about the new film and if this would ruin the film that I grew up loving. I was gladly proven wrong! This film is based after Jumanji and is through a video game which is more with the times rather than board games, not only this but it is based around two people who are more nerds/geeks (one male and one female) and two of the popular group (one male and one female). As you see them coming to terms with their new characters and making it so that the popular ones are the more weak characters who aren't as popular and vice versa it made the film something for everyone. The casting for this film was amazing and hav
