Other dub names: Scary Stories (4Kids), Frightening Pinky! (Studio 100)
Krash, Chiko, and Rosa are sitting by the campfire and telling scary stories to each other. Rosa is already frightened and wants to leave. Then Krash decides to tell her the story about the Masked Minstrel: One day a black circus came to town, in which everybody wore a mask. But the most mysterious one was a man in a black mask. Should he take it off and play the guitar, all the women in the world would forget about everything in the world and go crazy.
Rosa is completely scared and leaves. On the way, she hears rustling in the bushes and sees a figure that looks like a man in a hat. Thinking it's the Masked Minstrel, she runs to her home and barricades the door. Suddenly, the light bulb in the chandelier bursts, and the closet door creaks open. This scares her a lot, and she knocks out the door along with her barricade and runs to Olga.
Olga shows Rosa several pictures, but she sees a Masked Minstrel in all of them. Olga decides to give her a decoction, but falls asleep. Suddenly, Rosa hears music on the street. She comes out and sees a man playing a guitar near a tree. It's the Masked Minstrel. After a brief conversation, he leaves. Rosa is no longer afraid of him, and it seems she now knows how he steals women's hearts...
Tropes:
