The Haunted Mask is a classic Goosebumps book by RL Stine about a shy girl, Carly Beth, who buys a terrifying mask from a strange shop to get revenge on bullies If looks could kill Lyrics Across the street Under driveway light Two shadows counting sugar spoils In the cold October night Chuck & Steve Laughing low Rustling candy in their bags Never knowing I’m already here Watching Waiting Behind the tree Bandanna outlaw Cheap disguise Smudged black soot around their eyes No armor No defense Just gravel crunch & confidence You never saw the nights I shook You never heard the screams you took But now the dark belongs to me & you’re exactly where you need to be Low hedge breathing pine & rain Leaves trembling in the wind The whistling sound inside the dark Is coming from within My lungs My rage My burning skin The mask is tightening again I am the terror of Maple Avenue The nightmare in the hedges waiting for you The fear you planted growing through Tonight the hunted hunts the hunter Tonight the laughter turns to screams Tonight the monster in the mirror Is finally me Gravel footsteps Closer now Excited voices drifting out The moment slows The world goes dim Their laughter echoing within I rise I step I break the night & split the silence with a scream Eyes wide open Mouths drop slack Hands thrown high They stagger back Chuck clutching Steve’s sleeve tight Fear blooming in the driveway light “Carly Beth… is that you?” The name falls dead between us 2 I answer only with a growl A throat of gravel Deep & foul They stare between my burning eyes & the face that rides the stick “Who are you?” The mask replies “That’s Carly Beth” I raise the head Let moonlight hit Painted eyes that never quit “That’s Carly Beth’s head” I say “Poor girl wouldn’t give it away” HAND OVER YOUR CANDY RIGHT NOW Or your heads Will crown this stick Shrill laughter cracks the cold “You scared us!” Steve begins But rage erupts inside my chest Like something crawling through my skin “I’m not joking” The words come out Like thunder dragged through broken glass Their laughter dies The night grows still & something deeper starts to pass Wind spirals through the street The broomstick head begins to sway All three of us look upward & the night bends out of place The painted eyes Blink Once Twice The lips drag open dry as bone The silent words crawl through the air Help me Help me The stick falls The head rolls Candy spills across the stones Steve screams Chuck runs Footsteps hammering the road They flee into the autumn dark Dropping sugar like a trail But the wind stays circling me Like a storm that will not fail I am the terror of Maple Avenue The nightmare stalking porchlight blue The ghost beneath the harvest moon The thing that used to be you Tonight the hunted hunts the hunter Tonight the laughter turns to screams Tonight the monster in the mirror Is finally me Leaves spin Sky black Wind clawing through the trees I feel the urge to howl tonight To rip apart the breeze To climb the rooftops Split the sky & roar into the void The terror lives inside my chest & I enjoy it I run Past pumpkins Past skeletons that shake The houses blur like ghosts behind me The night begins to break My lungs collapse My pulse explodes The world begins to spin Then suddenly A hand grips my shoulder From the dark Behind me 🎃ALBUM    • The Haunted Mask [Djent / Metalcore / Deat...   #Djent #TheHauntedMask #ConceptAlbum #Goosebumps #Metalcore #Deathcore #Metal #DeathMetal #Prog #Thall #Technical #Progressive #HeavyMetal #TechDeath #Heavy #Scary #Spooky #Creepy #Eerie #Ethereal #Atmospheric #Haunting #Halloween #Horror #ChildrensHorror #ViewersBeware #CarlyBeth #Haunted #Mask #Story #Concept #Album #Music #Song #Lyrics #RLStine #Fear #GhostStory #Haunt #Possession #Possessed #Monster #HalloweenMask #TechnicalMetal #TechnicalMetalcore #ProgressiveMetal #ProgMetal #ProgressiveMetalcore #ProgressiveDeathMetal #TechnicalDeathcore #ProgressiveDeathcore #Rock #Aliencore #PostHardcore #Swancore #MathRock #Emo #Screamo #Punk #Alternative #HardRock #MetalMusic #MetalAlbum #Book #Audio #Narration #Characters #Prank #Worms #Slappy #MapleAvenue #October #Fall #Autumn #ProgRock #ProgressiveRock #MathMetal #Chuck #Steve #Sabrina #Terror #Face #TheUnloved #Unloved #SymbolOfLove #Love #Mother #Brother #TheMaskShop #Costume #Night #HalloweenNight #PlasterHead #HeadOnAStick #Scare #Bullies #Breakdowns #Breakdown #Slam #Shred #Riffs #Riff #Shredding #Groovy #Groove #Chug #ChugPattern #OddTimeSignature #Polyrhythm #MetricModulation #Syncopation #Bounce #Scream #Gutteral #Growl #Singing #Melodic #Hardcore #TechnicalDeathMetal #CarlyBethCaldwell #Literature #Writing #Reading #Scholastic #Bookfair #90s #Nostalgic #Nostalgia #TimJacobus #Artwork #Drums #Guitar #Vocals #Bass #Theme #Thriller #Cinematic #Visualizer #Theatrical
