The Unloved

The Unloved are a collection of twelve hideous, living masks who desire to possess their wearer, passing on their characteristics onto them. They all appear in The Haunted Mask, The Haunted Mask II, and Goosebumps Wanted: The Haunted Mask.

Background
Long ago, a handsome teenager lived on Maple Avenue. He was a good student, but unfortunately he was failing chemistry because his chemistry teacher was very mean and he refused to spend any time helping the boy. So the boy took matters in his own hands. He crept into the chemistry lab late one night to practice a few experiments of his own. But he accidentally mixed the wrong chemicals in his test tube and the tube exploded all over him. And instead of burning his face, the chemicals aged the boy and overnight, he became an old man with a thin mustache and a pinched face! The man became desperate to get his former appearance back, so he started experimenting on making masks that came alive and are actually real faces too. They were beautiful faces as well but the experiments went wrong. When the beautiful faces left the lab, they changed into horrible monster faces. The man saw what complete failures his faces were, but he had to keep them alive. He called them The Unloved because no one will ever want to see them. The man (who had become the shopkeeper of a party store he was living in) also noticed that his faces would actually find a new body to live with if one of them came into their room and they would attach themselves to whomever was wearing them and make them act the way they would act. The only way to remove them was by a symbol of love, which the Shopkeeper had hardly felt since his unfortunate accident. He also noticed that if a face was put on after it was removed, it will be forever.

The Collection
The Haunted Mask: Described as having a bulging bald head, putrid yellow-green colored skin. enormous sunken eyes that were an eerie orange and seemed to glow. It's nose is broad and flat, smashed in like a skeleton's nose. And it's dark-lipped mouth gaped wide, which reveals jagged animal fangs.

Ratty Hair Mask: A mask with long stringy yellow hair falling over its bulging green forehead. A hairy black rat's head poked up from a knot in the hair.

Nailed Mask: A mask that has a large nail stuck through an eyehole. A thick trail of wet-looking blood poured down the eye, down the cheek.

Decayed Mask: A mask whose rotting skin appears to be falling off, revealing its gray colored skull underneath. A enormous black insect, similar to a beetle, poked out between the green-and-yellow decayed teeth.
