One Day at Horrorland might honestly be my absolute favorite cover. I love it, and I have such fond memories of reading that book as a kid. I always loved that book and the episode. God bless! 🙏🏻
There are so many great GB from the original series that it's soooo hard to choose my #1 fave, but I do LOVE the One Day At Horrorland cover and no matter how many Horrorland reprints with new covers, it won't touch the original, ever! I also have fond memories of the book too; I LOVED reading about the creative rides that Stine came up with and the worldbuilding he created for that theme park. . . .especially that coffin ride or the slide that rides forever---LOVE IT!!
I love the Night of the living dummy II book cover. Especially the innocence and thriller atmosphere tone that the book brings, it's amazing through and through! 10+/10 💯👍

You are the greatest goosebumps RUclipsr ever. I’m currently reading every book from the original 62 and I’m on number 10 after I get done with every book I look at ur reviews and ur vibe and video ideas are amazing.
i agree with night of the living dummy being the best cover. it’s just such a classic, and such a memorable cover that just beats the rest easily. i love the book, the episode, slappy in general is my favorite monster.
Great list. Would be nice to see a cover ranking for series 2000 and GYG, as well! Top 20 (Definitely didn’t throw this together five seconds ago) 20. I Live In Your Basement! 19.

Thank you for this video, Michael. Up on my list just based off covers are the original covers for Night of the Living Dummy III, Why I'm Afraid of Bees, Be Careful What You Wish For, Cuckoo Clock of Doom and Bad Hare Day.
I've always thought the cover for Attack of the Jack O' Lanterns went unbelievably hard as a kid. It was ominous but also just really cool and perfectly captures the spirit of Trick or Treating.
horror at camp jellyjam is top of the top for me! it is seared into my brain! his teeth are terrifying! ghost beach was also an amazing amazing cover! unforgettable!
I remember quite vaguely, about reading the original Goosebumps book series in middle school, and had that entertainment re-ignited during High school when I read Stephen King and read R.L. Stine.
Could also agree with your number one pick, I only have a handful of goosebumps books, night of the living dummy being one of them, and it is definitely the most memorable and frightening cover of the ones I have for sure, the books I have were originally my brother's and when he gave them to me, that cover stuck with me the most
11:23 the Blob on that cover looks way too much like Krang from the original Ninja Turtles cartoon 18:23 and the head on this cover looks way too much like the guy in the waiting room from Beetlejuice! 30:43 you can probably easily remove that sticker by using a hairdryer and your fingernail
@@MichaelGoosebumpsFan Absolutely the displays at Walmart and Target I remember always going to see if there was a new one. It was really popular when I was young.
Oh this will be a fun video! 😄 Monster Blood 4 is so underrated! So is Ghost Camp. There is a fun Haunted House style game for the Wii that is also really expensive.

I have become irrationally angry at how low Beast from the East is. I actually searched for this video after seeing the low ranking it got in the story rankings and thought "Well certainly he really liked the cover" This one is one of my favorites.
@michaelgoosebumpsfan9934 all good. I think that's one cover I actually traced when I was younger. Probably the only one. That and the cover to Yoshi's Story on N64
It's hard to choose since I actually enjoy all 62 covers. If I had to pick some in no particular order then I would say one day at horrorland, Phantom of the Auditorium,The Curse Of The Mummy's Tomb. beast from east, werewolf of fever swamp,scarecrow and ghost beach. I never noticed the yes in the haunted school book, pretty creepy. I'm such a nerd that I guessed correctly the last 10 remaining books for your favorite covers lol. I was surprised to see attack of the jack o lanterns so high, its a nice one but didn't expect it to be #2.
Probably going to have to get them individually from different places on the internet lol. eBay might have what’s called a “book lot” with all 62, but it’ll cost ya lol. Possibly $500, and up.
Love your content I'm from Virginia too, beautiful state its a bit pricy in somethingss but could be worse, as a kid I would always get the books from the school library(with child proof hard covers with woven cardboard to make them last longer), but I wouldn't read them just hold them for the covers, it wasn't till recently I've read the books and the first I read was Night in Terror Tower(it just called to me) and since theres hits and misses usually the books had 1 of 5 outcomes like their monsters themselves, ironic fate twist, ambigous ending, Stines humor ending, or actually sad/blissful ending.
I got rid of my goosebumps collection many years ago. I want to get a few and read them again. In my opinion the original ghost beach is number one cover. Dead house is close second
Hey, Micheal! I was just wondering if you know they re-released the OG covers for Egg Monsters from Mars, and Girl Who Cried Monster, not the tins the normal re-releases. I’m not complaining, I prefer they’re doing Tim’s art again…
I am 100% with u in slappy 1, is the best cover I think what make this cover so scary but beautiful is 2 things. Slappy is perfectly symetric in this picture, apart from his hair. The second one is the eyes, looking straight and deeply to you.
Just to correct you on the Be Careful What You Wish For cover. The one you showed in the video was the reprint cover by Jacobus. The original cover was done by a different artist.
Hey there! That’s probably one of the newer books-sounds like Zombie Halloween from the Most Wanted series. I see those at Barnes and Noble all the time lol.
I think the top 62 goosebumps books, cover I really like Goosebumps because they have Monster because it looks creepy is because all the monsters are spooky and kinda scary. I’ll see bye-bye.
I'm not a big fan of Brandon Dorman's covers; they just don't have that IT factor that Tim Jacobus accomplished. I LOVE Jacobus' cover of The Horror At Camp Jellyjam, which is one of my favorite OG books. His cover is creepy and ominous and it doesn't spoil anything. The Brandon Dorman, on the other hand, spoils the mid-twist in the book---it doesn't leave anything to the reader's imagination---and it doesn't look creepy, freaky, or ominous. It's not an awful cover; it just doesn't touch the original! I don't see how the original cover can be topped. Great book, great original book cover!
@@Rafael-dj-c Interesting point you make there. If you look in generations past at some of the things kids watched or read and today we look back surprised at how that was permitted, but that's because I firmly believe, in many aspects, our current society is softer---a whole lot softer---than generations past.
Haha more hate for monster blood one. Maybe I can lighten ur heart on it. R.l stine has said before that when he started goosebumps he didn't do the best with blending scares and humor so that is why the first two books he wrote were mostly scary with no real humor in them. (Specially welecome to dead house) when he got to monster blood he was moving into putting humor in the books he might have gone alittle to far but, hey he was still getting his style down for writing kids book. Up to this point he had only don't young adult book (like fear street). So the fact the the first two books r scarier show that they were the first two books he wrote. Hope this softened ur heart on monster blood one. That being said few can deny this cover to be one of the better ones from the original 62. My favorite cover would have to be one day in horrorland. Love the park in the back ground. Great video looking forward to series 2000s.
Do you remember when they had goosebumps toys at taco bell for there kids meal? Maybe im older but i remember tryna eat that food to get the toy n i didnt like tacos or that kinda food when i was young ill never forget how hard it was to eat that food just to get a goosebumps toy.
See, I was a super picky eater until I met my wife, and I never went to Taco Bell much as a kid, because I didn’t like tacos, either hahah. But I know exactly what you mean!

My hairiest adventure book minds me the kid from Jumanji movie lol
One Day at Horrorland might honestly be my absolute favorite cover. I love it, and I have such fond memories of reading that book as a kid. I always loved that book and the episode. God bless! 🙏🏻

👍🏻
It's a good cover, crappy book. Everyone loves it. I thought it was corny. One of the worst written and full of plot holes, even for just GB book.
I love the Night of the living dummy II book cover. Especially the innocence and thriller atmosphere tone that the book brings, it's amazing through and through! 10+/10 💯👍

Definitely Micheal has my Options as well. I Adore the first Living Dummy Novel, such a great cover, the fact that’s a painting is flipping crazy!
Great list, excellent ranking and keep being you, my friend.
You are the greatest goosebumps RUclipsr ever. I’m currently reading every book from the original 62 and I’m on number 10 after I get done with every book I look at ur reviews and ur vibe and video ideas are amazing.
@@Javiidkidk Hahahah thanks, man, I really appreciate that!
As somebody who grew up soley with the original 62, those solid boarder reprints make me sick
Even me as a kid I love Al the covers looking the same so the solid border makes me sick too
I know!! Why ruin it? Unnecessary.
Exactly! They don’t even stand out!
They look depressing on your shelf!
The “Be Careful What You Wish For” cover that you showed is the Jacobus one.
"Put some eggs in your body...In your mouth. Anyways."
Haha, that made me laugh!
One of my favorites has always been The Scarecrow Walks at Midnight.
amazing video as always!
Thanks for watching, dude!
i agree with night of the living dummy being the best cover. it’s just such a classic, and such a memorable cover that just beats the rest easily. i love the book, the episode, slappy in general is my favorite monster.

Did you know the guy in the cover of horror at the camp jellyjam is Tim Jacobus himself?...not only the artist, the model as well.
Yeah I heard that somewhere
It's here!
Great ranking 8).
I remember i bought goosebumps books based on covers lol those and animorphs were super popular when I was growing up.
Agreed-I did the same thing, when I was a kid and would rent them from my school library lol. Love the classic covers, like the ones I ranked, here.

I am 100% with u in slappy 1, is the best cover
I think what make this cover so scary but beautiful is 2 things.
Slappy is perfectly symetric in this picture, apart from his hair.
The second one is the eyes, looking straight and deeply to you.
That is Tim’s be careful what you wish for cover!!!
Curious to know if you have any friends at work that you talk goosebumps with
I make mention to it, here and there, but not really hahah
@@MichaelGoosebumpsFan wish I worked w you man I would be talking about it all the time love goosebumps
gassiest laugh of the goosebump enthusiasts
Ghost Beach was the 1st book I ever read with my mom and Scarecrow Walks at Midnight😈
12:27 That looks like Chris Cornell if he was a bird.
Just to correct you on the Be Careful What You Wish For cover. The one you showed in the video was the reprint cover by Jacobus. The original cover was done by a different artist.
My daughter is looking for a book that is bright orange with a house on cover. She said it's a compilation. Any idea? You certainly know them all!
Hey there! That’s probably one of the newer books-sounds like Zombie Halloween from the Most Wanted series. I see those at Barnes and Noble all the time lol.
@@MichaelGoosebumpsFan thanks
my favorite book is number two!
The becareful what you wish for that you showed was drawn by Jacobus
I think the top 62 goosebumps books, cover I really like Goosebumps because they have Monster because it looks creepy is because all the monsters are spooky and kinda scary. I’ll see bye-bye.
No way you put 3 Slappy books in the top 10 🥴. Otherwise great list though.
Headless Nick ruined the scariness of the headless Ghost and you guys need A UFL team
And ya your right being 5 years old and seeing welcome to dead house was like wtf when I saw it lol staple of my childhood.
Ghost camp and headless ghost should be in the top 10 atleast
i have all 62 books
nice! i can agree the brandon dormans covers are pretty bad in my opinoin they ruined the scary part
I'm not a big fan of Brandon Dorman's covers; they just don't have that IT factor that Tim Jacobus accomplished. I LOVE Jacobus' cover of The Horror At Camp Jellyjam, which is one of my favorite OG books. His cover is creepy and ominous and it doesn't spoil anything. The Brandon Dorman, on the other hand, spoils the mid-twist in the book---it doesn't leave anything to the reader's imagination---and it doesn't look creepy, freaky, or ominous. It's not an awful cover; it just doesn't touch the original! I don't see how the original cover can be topped. Great book, great original book cover!
@@brianseay8242 I agree
Yea, I am guessing it was done intentional. They make it look more kiddy, not sure if they think kids today are softer than kids from the past?
@@Rafael-dj-c Interesting point you make there. If you look in generations past at some of the things kids watched or read and today we look back surprised at how that was permitted, but that's because I firmly believe, in many aspects, our current society is softer---a whole lot softer---than generations past.
Haha more hate for monster blood one. Maybe I can lighten ur heart on it. R.l stine has said before that when he started goosebumps he didn't do the best with blending scares and humor so that is why the first two books he wrote were mostly scary with no real humor in them. (Specially welecome to dead house) when he got to monster blood he was moving into putting humor in the books he might have gone alittle to far but, hey he was still getting his style down for writing kids book. Up to this point he had only don't young adult book (like fear street). So the fact the the first two books r scarier show that they were the first two books he wrote. Hope this softened ur heart on monster blood one.
That being said few can deny this cover to be one of the better ones from the original 62. My favorite cover would have to be one day in horrorland. Love the park in the back ground.
Great video looking forward to series 2000s.
The og design for slappy is creepy as hell
Do you remember when they had goosebumps toys at taco bell for there kids meal? Maybe im older but i remember tryna eat that food to get the toy n i didnt like tacos or that kinda food when i was young ill never forget how hard it was to eat that food just to get a goosebumps toy.
See, I was a super picky eater until I met my wife, and I never went to Taco Bell much as a kid, because I didn’t like tacos, either hahah. But I know exactly what you mean!
