In all honesty, I think a lot of Goosebumps characters are relatively interchangeable. Put Greg Banks in The Curse of the Mummy's Tomb, and you get the same basic storyline. The only thing that really differs characters from one another is basically their likes and interests. Switch Spencer Kassimir from Attack of the Graveyard Ghoulsinto Mitchell Moinian from The Haunted Car, and the story becomes very different, since the protagonist is no longer a car fanatic. The only character that really stands out in the series to me is Carly Beth Caldwell, since she seems to be the only character that shows a lot of personal growth, and the fact that The Haunted Mask is very unique because unlike most Goosebumps books, it focuses a lot around the character, rather than the monster. That's why The Haunted Mask is my favourite book and Carly Beth Caldwell is my favourite character.

Also, @Murder the Clown, I don't mean to flex my Nightmare Room obsession, but Ross Arthur from book #4: Liar Liar is much more annoying to me than Luke. He's a bit of a spoiled brat who lies to his friends and family, and in the end, he kind of deserves what he gets. Fun fact: My profile pic is art from the cover of Liar Liar.
