“Behind me, Mom busily cleaned out the refrigerator, making room for the groceries Dad was out buying. I was dying to tell her about the scary mask. I wanted to show it to her. Maybe put it on and make her scream. But I knew she’d ask too many questions about where I bought it, and how much it cost, and how much of my allowance I used up to pay for it. All questions I couldn’t answer.” FamilyHalloweenR L StineSteve BoswellThe Haunted Mask Ii Book:The Haunted Mask II Source: The Haunted Mask II
“That was my costume for the past five years. A hobo. Actually, it wasn’t much of a costume. I wore one of Dad’s baggy old suits with patches on the pants. Mom rubbed charcoal on my face to make me look dirty. And I carried a knapsack on a fishing pole over my shoulder. Bor-ring!” HalloweenR L StineSteve BoswellThe Haunted Mask Ii Book:The Haunted Mask II Source: The Haunted Mask II
