Taking place a year after the First book, Steve Boswell and his friend Chuck have changed. Since Carly Beth's encounter with her evil Halloween mask, she is now more brave than before, and is immune to Steve and Chuck's pranks. Steve, tired of not being scary anymore, sneaks into the same Novelty shop where Carly Beth found her mask, and steals an Old Man mask from the basement. As Steve wears the mask on Halloween, he starts to become weak and more evil, and now is being persuaded by the Haunted Mask to capture Carly Beth, so that Carly Beth and the Mask can become one forever...
