Support - Both "Goosebumps episode" and "TV special" are used by reliable sources to describe it. Since Goosebumps episode is more consistent with the guidelines, I support using it here.

Support per
WP:CONSISTENCY and
WP:NCTV, and general logic (a pilot is not a TV special; someone doesn't know their media terminology). —

A TV pilot could be considered a TV special, depending on the definition of a TV special you use. The Haunted Mask was marketed by Fox as a special, presumably because it aired during a time slot that is normally reserved for other programming. There are also a handful of sources that refer to it as a special (e.g.,
1,
2,
3,
4,
5). That does bring up a good point though, the fact that some would not consider this to be a special is a good reason to consider changing the title of the article.

Yeah you picked up the key word there "marketed".
Television specials are an amorphous collection mostly because its a marketing term, not a defined format or genre. In this case, its an episode marketed as a TV special much like how you can have a film like The Wizard of Oz marketed as a special also. --

Any point I raise is open to discussion. Once complete, I will claim this review for points in the

Is it well written?
A. The prose is clear and concise, and the spelling and grammar are correct:
These are my edits. Any of them can be revised/reverted if you do not like them.
I like them. My only change was correcting a minor typo.

The source cited (#8) for the VHS release date only says the VHS "made its home video debut last week". I suggest adding source #9 to this sentence as well, since it gives the specific date.
"in 1994, Margaret Loesch, formerly the CEO of Fox Kids," - according to her article, she was still the CEO in 1994. I suggest revising this to "then-CEO", "the CEO of Fox Kids at the time", or some other wording that indicates she wasn't a former CEO in 1994.
Changed to "the CEO of Fox Kids at the time".

I remember the initial broadcast being during primetime, but that may have been a local decision. This detail isn't necessary to pass GA, but it might be something to look into if you plan to improve the article further.
There are a few points under 1A that I don't feel comfortable addressing myself. Otherwise, this one looks pretty good.

Image removal
A user keeps removing the image of the VHS without explaining why, so I thought I would start a discussion.
MOS:TVIMAGE says that an image can be used for an individual episode article if a home media cover is available for the episode. This is certainly the case here. Not to mention the VHS is discussed in the article as well. I think the image should be kept.
