"I think my best Halloween story is The Haunted Mask... It’s the only Goosebumps book inspired by something in real life. When my son, Matt, was real little, it was Halloween time and he was trying on a green, rubber Frankenstein mask in the living room. I’m watching him from the doorway and he pulled the mask down over his face and he couldn’t get it off. I’m watching him — he’s tugging and tugging. I thought, 'What a great idea for a story!' I should have helped him, right? I started making notes." -- R.L. Stine
