- A slide video of the various covers of the Goosebumps book series by R.L. Stine. The book covers in this video are based on the release of the original, series 2000 and Give Yourself Goosebumps series by Tim Jacobus, Jim Thiesen and Stanislaw Fernandes and Classic covers by Brandon Dorman. In order of release of the original releases on the left and middle of each clip.
Extended Goosebumps Theme Song by Jack Lenz.
If the "new" covers were the ones I was introduced to as a kid, I would have probably never read Goosebumps. Tim Jacobus understands how to create **atmosphere.**
Gf g f g g gcg g
The tim Jacobus covers are better (mostly) but the reissues certainly aren't bad
Also the reissue covers for haunted mask 2, the scarecrow walks at midnight, attack of the jack-o'-lanterns, please don't feed the vampire, and the haunted car are actually better then the originals IMO
Yeah I also prefer the older ones over the new ones
@Limbo too bad they fucked up graveyard ghouls and censored slappy beating the shit out jillian in the reprints
@@MarvelsScreamSimp the haunted mask 2 reprint looks much scarier because of how real it looks. The old one kinda looks like an old rap video to me
The OG covers for the win. The new ones have their own cool to them, I don’t hate them, they just feel like fan art tributes of the originals.
The art of Tim Jacobus is way superior, I could love a Goosebumps animated series in that style
Interesting
I'd rather want Brandon dorman artstyle to be animated, it looks more cartoony
All though Brandon Dorman has a good style as well.
I like Brandon Norman's Vampire Breath and Haunted Mask 2 more tbh
As much as I like the 2008-2015 new covers. I’ve always and still do love the original Tim Jacobus covers WAY more, they have such a great art-style to it that pulls you into reading it while keeping that 90s aesthetic to it.
I also love the backgrounds of those Tim Jacobus covers as well, they look and feel so genuine.
Some of the new ones look too cartoony
Getting the original issues of the earlier books is getting harder these days.
Old covers have cool anexious vibe
I would say imaginative and colorful. It's the new ones that feel jarring and uneasy.
The og horror at camp jellyjam art was unsettling and didn’t have away the twist
I’ve probably read that one, along with Ghost Camp, and Headless Ghost a lot more times than the others.
The full theme song is amazing. 😊😍👍🤗😊😍
Not the scariest, but the coolest book cover will always be the classic Attack of the Jack O Laterns book cover. It looks so cool.
What about the covers?
@@thedetonator9815 the attack of the Jack O Laterns 1990's book cover looks like a metal music album cover. Also, I love Metal music and that looks like it could be the sickest album cover for the metal band Helloween
@@Custer_X_Of_The_DAU I meant like the other covers for the other books. My video did say comment on each book and cover is your favorite.
@@thedetonator9815 it was mostly the og covers. The ones I liked better than og was (in order) 2003 Stay Out Of The Basement, 2009 Be Careful What You Wish For, 2010 The Scarecrow Walks At Midnight, 2010 Ghost Beach, 2009 A Night At Terror Tower, 2018 The Headless Ghost and 2015 The Haunted Car.
Those original covers were SO GOOD. Even the backgrounds were amazing
The originals are my favorite. Both artist are great in their own ways, but the realism, finer details, and less saturated colors appeal to me more than the saturated cartoony style. I also appreciate the covers that don’t just try to recreate the original, like in Monster Blood.
I'm not a 'new=bad' guy. New covers look good on their own. I just like the old ones better for being more realistic and creepier.
I think the purpose of the cartoonier look of the new covers was to insure buyers that they're for kids so parents can know that they're safe for their 7 to 12 year old. They're not bad covers either. I like the 50s sci-fi/horror movie text for the titles too.
But I don't like that they changed the Goosebumps logo. That was a stupid move. You had this iconic, recognizable, brandable logo. What was wrong with it? Why change it? And of all the colors to make your gooey text, why white?
Same, thankfully I have nearly every book with the original covers, with the exception of The Curse of the Mummies Tomb because I lost my original copy, so I had to get the updated 2015 re-issue. The first reissues of some books from 2003-2005 also kept the original Goosebumps logo and covers.
@@zacharyyamashita8554 I heard that the reason the logo changed was because it was a legal requirement due to a brutal falling out with Scholastic and Parachute Press that happened in the late 90s. I THINK it was that Scholastic owned the logo since they were in charge of marketing and distributing.
They're back together now. Yet, the logo hasn't changed back to the way it was. Guess that's just a permanent scar.
the people who agree that tim jacobus's covers were the best are legends cause its those covers of his that made all our childhood as well as the books them self
I really liked the Jacobus style more, it just looked much creepier and had a more unsettling atmosphere
Trust me. The last plot twist of every book are utterly spooky
I read about the twist ending of Attack of the Graveyard Ghouls and I thought of it as a funny twist ending.
tbh… i love all of the covers
When I was growing up in the early 2010's, the Tim Jacobus covers were all we had in our library. I recognize a few of the new covers, but we had the OG ones from the 90s.
I think Tim Jacobs and Brandon Doorman are both really talented
The originals are clearly better
Some Brandon Dorman covers look better for example the Scarecrow Walks at Midnight, Don't Feed The Vampire and The Haunted Car covers look so good
I think that the new cover for The Curse of the Mummy's Tomb is better.
@@spider-man6932 original scarecrow cover looks better. More atmosphere.
The ones I think the Classic Goosebumps ones are better than the original are You Can’t Scare Me!, Ghost Beach, The Haunted Mask 2 and The Haunted Car
Of course the original covers will always be the best.
The Tim Jacobus covers are a timeless treasure. People may disagree with me, but I think that the TJ covers for Stay Out of the Basement and Be Careful What You Wish For… are scarier than the original covers.
I thought the girl in "Be Careful What you Wish For"'s og cover art looked derpy lol
I agree with you about Be Careful What You Wish For, but the original cover of Stay Out of the Basement with the green hand coming out from behind the door is very spooky and the second cover feels too cartoony
His Stay out of the basement isn't bad, but that image of the hand coming from behind the basement door is better.
Heres what i think are the best of the new or old:
Welcome to Dead House - Old
Stay out of the basement: Old
Monster blood - New (Very close)
Say cheese and die - Old
The curse of the mummys tomb - Old
Lets get invisible - Old
Night of the living dummy - Old
Welcome to camp nightmare - New
The ghost next door - Old

Return of the mummy - New
Phantom of the auditorium - Old (close)
A night in terror tower - Old

Please don’t feed the vampire - New

You’re the first person who commented on this video with a full list on these covers. Everyone else only just say one of their favorite books.
@@thedetonator9815 thanks!
@@thedetonator9815Well he is a Wizard so he has too much time on his hands... :P
I personally think the old monster blood cover is slightly more unsettleing, the image of the slime trails dripping down the staircase with the glasses adds a sense of supense since you have know idea what awaits up there
Wow, in virtually every single one of these, they had it right the first time.
out of all the comparisons, The Horror at Camp JellyJam is definitely one of them
Same
i've always love the artists's art styles for the covers
The new horror at camp jellyjam cover literally gives away the plot
There was nothing actually scary about Brandon’s work. I’m 31 and still wanna read a few for the nostalgia.
I’m not gonna bash another artist- all of them are great Ngl.
But I personally do have a nostalgic bias to the originals.
Each of those covers takes me back to instances of my childhood in school, on trips, or just me becoming absolutely inspired more to draw as a little girl.
The new covers are pretty neat, honestly a new spin homage to the OG.
Tim Jacobus for sure only did worst than his competitor was Stay Out The Basement. Jim Thiesen's felt less goofy and it made you want to read the book.
Brandon Dorman's work isn't bad but they had big shoes to fill. Especially when it came to creating new covers despite the originals being iconic. But if you see his covers over time, he really mastered his style and knew how to create atmosphere like Tim. I even feel like his take at Haunted Mask 2 was much better than the original.
But Tim's will always be the standard in my opinion.
I love the cover designs by Brandon dorman
i remember being a goosebumbs fan boy back in elementary school i miss those days😭
I love how the headless ghost goes from walking downstairs holding the guardrail to shredding the rails like their a pro skater
Don't hate most of the new ones, they got a cartoony vibe that's kinda cool, but I don't know. Tim Jacobus just has this way of creating an atmosphere like many have said. A lot of them sort of give me like liminal space vibes. Like I shouldn't be seeing the picture. That and then the plain, formatted text at the bottom just makes it feel weird to me. He gets beat in a couple, like the Scarecrow Walks at Midnight, because, while not scary, Dorman's just looks sick. But it being a horror series, Jabus knew what he was doing.
Doesn’t matter how old you are, once a goosebumps fan, always a goosebumps fan
the old ones looked so much scarier but the new ones are really pretty too
Attack of the Graveyard Ghouls is definitely the best and most scary of all of the covers, I definitely like the appearance of the ghouls and how much they are modeled after the one zombie from Return of the Living Dead. Personally, I've never seen this cover, I read an assortment of classic era Goosebumps books, some that were the originals, and some that were with the reissues with the new covers, I've definitely always preferred the classic ones- Especially Say Cheese and Die.
Goosebumps for life ❤
I remember seeing Tim's covers everywhere, I've never really seen the new versions
Hope fully they make sum new goosebumps series 2000 I would love to see the mummy walks
I think a select few of the new covers are better than the originals, but other than that, the old covers absolutely knock the new ones out park.
Also, as far as which cover, I think is the scariest, probably “Don’t Go To Sleep”… it’s perfectly disturbing
I like the old covers better but even if I didn't I would.still buy those over the new one cause that G was iconic
the scariest is Night of the living dummy III. just imagine you walk into the attic and see all those dummy's staring into your soul
oh yeah for sure!!
1:29 Ghost Beach is my favourite goosebumps book
The og ones were the best, although I do like the extra features in the new ones
My personal opinions on each cover:
Welcome to Dead House - Original (minor note: Classic Goosebumps makes the house look like the Scooby Doo house)
Stay Out of the Basement - Classic Goosebumps
Monster Blood - Kinda torn on this one, either one is fine
Say Cheese and Die! - Original
The Curse of the Mummy's Tomb - Classic Goosebumps
Let's Get Invisible! - Classic Goosebumps
Night of the Living Dummy - 2003 printing (the vid doesn't show that one, probably 'cause it's basically identical to the original cover)
Welcome to Camp Nightmare - Either one is fine, not really big on this one
The Ghost Next Door - I grew up with Classic Goosebumps, but original is also good
The Haunted Mask - Original
Be Careful What You Wish For... - Classic Goosebumps
The Werewolf of Fever Swamp - Either is fine
You Can't Scare Me! - Original
One Day at HorrorLand - Original
Deep Trouble - Classic Goosebumps
The Scarecrow Walks at Midnight - Classic Goosebumps
Ghost Beach - Original
Return of the Mummy - Classic Goosebumps
Phantom of the Auditorium - Original
A Night in Terror Tower - Original
Night of the Living Dummy II - Classic Goosebumps (side note: I think Classic Goosebumps and Goosebumps HorrorLand make Slappy look too angry)
The Horror at Camp Jellyjam - Classic Goosebumps
Revenge of the Lawn Gnomes - Original
A Shocker on Shock Street - Original
The Haunted Mask II - Original (minor note: there is a new printing of the Classic Goosebumps version with an updated version of the cover. it's fine, but I think I prefer the original version of it. this is very confusing)
The Headless Ghost - Classic Goosebumps
The Abominable Snowman of Pasadena - Original
How I Got My Shrunken Head - Classic Goosebumps
Night of the Living Dummy III - Original
Attack of the Jack-O'-Lanterns - Original
Vampire Breath - Classic Goosebumps
The Blob That Ate Everyone - 2006 printing (again, the vid doesn't show it, but I think the pink border matches the art a bit better)
Please Don't Feed the Vampire! - Classic Goosebumps
Bride of the Living Dummy - Classic Goosebumps
Attack of the Graveyard Ghouls - Classic Goosebumps
The Haunted Car - Classic Goosebumps
I like how you gave your thoughts on each cover. Some of the 2003-2007 reprints have the same covers as the first prints. The classic cover of the Werewolf of Fever Swamp looks more scary with the werewolf standing on his hind legs.
I agree with many people that the original covers are better, but I think that the reissued cover for Deep Trouble looks better than the old one. I also really like the Night of the Living Dummy 1 & 3 reissued covers.
I like the original covers their was something charming about them
Yeah they're always going to be classics. Actually one of the reprints hurts the mystery of The Horror of Camp JellyJam
Goosebumps King 👍😎
The classics cover always beats the new ones
I’m an early 90’s kid, but MANY of the newer covers I liked a lot better! 😃 I realized that we shouldn’t be biased all the time and always think the “original is automatically superior and adaptions are inferior” for every one. I really appreciate Brandon Doorman’s art and effort in taking the classic loved original designs and doing his own spin on each one. I definitely would have still been into reading the Goosebumps books as a kid if I saw those creepy, cool arts.
I like Tim jacobus’ art style
My favorite books ever since elementary school!!
The classic covers are art loved these books 📖 gave them away but I’ll always remember
I think the only reason why the book covers changed was to make it more “kid friendly” like stay out of the basement the old cover was so realistic and VERY SCARY
I thought the new cover looked creepy with those plants sprouting through the door.
@@thedetonator9815 True
I think Tim Jacobus's You can't scare me is the scariest
What about each of the other book covers?
@@thedetonator9815 they're all absolutely fantastic!
@@thedetonator9815 The original Barking Ghost cover is one of the scariest.
I do love the classic covers, especially for the book "The Curse of Camp Cold Lake" (I think it's called that, idk), but one thing I absolutely *ADORE* about the new covers is how the images are more dynamic. They almost remind me of the covers for the Tales From the Pizzaplex series.
I think I love the dummy and my biggest concern is the don’t feed the vampire 😅
The old ones are better they just have that creepy feeling that I love that the new ones doesn't give you 😊😅
What's intriguing from the OG covers are actually those short and little sentence placed somewhere within the covers (which questionably removed on the later covers).
Those are taglines for each of the stories in the series.
And for Brandon doorman I think his ghost Beach was the creepiest
I love those covers. The dummy one was my favorite.
I like the Brandon dorman covers
i like goosebumps
The original one day at horror land is my favorite the cover just looks so unsettling and eerie and has a lot of dark colors Edit: my second favorite cover is the original edit: haunted car, and my third favorite cover is the original there’s a shocker on shock street it just looks like a 1960s movie , and my fourth favorite cover is the original you can’t scare me it’s looks so cool and the background perfectly fit’s with the mud monsters, my number 5 favorite cover is monster blood it’s so much fun to look at the monster blood on the stairs, Edit my 6 favorite cover is the original the attack of the jacko lanterns, and my 7th favorite cover is the original scarecrow walks at midnight, my eighth favorite cover is the original ghost beach cover
*Haunted Car. The typed Hunted Car.
Can’t even find a original one day at horror-land edition book online anymore. Good thing I still have my own, when I was part of the goosebumps club back in elementary. Actually you can if you go on eBay.
The puppet slappy my step brother used to scare me with that book cover
I grew up with the early Brandon Dorman covers, though I was mainly bothered about the Horrorland series. That was the MCU of children's horror fiction.
I had this idea of stop-motion, Laika studios (the animation studio that made Coraline) show based on the Goosebumps series, and I imagined the style of that show being a mixture of the Tim Jacobus and Brandon Dorman art style.
Also, just imagine a stop-motion version of "Night of the Living Dummy" and "One Day at Horrorland"
Tim’s work is much superior than Brandon’s. Tim’s weakest would be Stay out of the basement but even I found it pretty cool. Brandon does a great job in attracting the target audience (children) with the cartoony look. Both did great jobs but Tim for the absolute win!
It's because he did it digitally. His hand drawn art is far superior.
Dude no comparison, those original covers gotta be so much better right? This was a great video and post! I've been slowly starting to obsess over goosebumps ha
Some, sure
The subtlety of the font in the original covers’ titles. Much more spooky.
I will always love the classics but the new ones are still amazing
Night of the living dummy 2 was peak
Although I like the new art for all three Slappy Books, You can't scare me, Attack of the Jack O Lanterns, And The Haunted Mask 2, For all the others the og is superior.
Tim Jacobs (legends) , New (Kids)
The extended goosebumps theme... It actually uneases me. :v
I actually think the new Blob That Ate Everyone cover is better
The original is more iconic though.
The song goes hard as fuck and the original covers are amazing
The werewolf of fever swamp, the house of no return, the haunted game, the perfect school, the snowman of Pasadena, An old story, and you can't scare me it's very bone chilling
Sounds like those are the tv adaptations.
TBH the only new one I like more is Please Don’t Feed the Vampire
brandom dorman is the one i like cuz it is a bit more creative, action packed (mainly the haunted car) AND it is more brighter
I think tim jacoobus the headless ghost one with the creepiest
The original covers just do a better job mixing creepy and intrigue, but not all the reprints are bad
If it ain't broken, don't fix it.
The og goosebumps covers give me nightmares but now im used to it but honestly the other ones are not scary they are cool
It was mid at the start but when I got farther, I started going on with the new covers
I believe the artists from the original covers were the best chosen Tim Jacobus has a amazing sense of humor and vivid colors
Maybe it's because of nostalgia, but the old covers are WAY better!
Happy Halloween, everyone! 👻🍬🍫🎃
#Halloween2022
I’d say most of the Brandon Dorman covers are improvements in every way if only not as nostalgic, except the Slappy covers. Every time Tim Jacobus makes a Slappy cover, it’s significantly creepier than any 2015 iteration.
Attack of The Graveyard Ghouls (1998)
Although Brandon did a phenomenal job making the covers seem more modern and up to date Tim’s is just superior in every way
Though, Jacobus' work is always top tier, I'm not going to pretend Brandon didn't do some of the covers well and a handful surpassed the original. I would say Brandon's best covers are "The Abominable Snowman of Pasadena", "Attack of the Jack o Lantern", "Please Don't Feed the Vampire", and "the Blob that Ate Everyone"
The 90s art kicks ass.
The new covers look AI generated. The originals were ART
The a shocker on shock Street cover on the right isn't scary and it's my favorite
Most of the Ogs being scarier:
The Blob That Ate Everyone: Hold my beer
I think the new covers are too in your face
The only one I think TRUELY thrived of the lively atmosphere of Brandon’s was “The Phantom of the Auditorium” since the original inspiration of from the Phantom of the Opera which is about music. The og cover kinda looks….boring.
both are great: some i think Tim did better and others Brandon did better...
the worse is reprint is the Haunted Mask i mean hello where are Carly-Beth's overalls its what she always wore in the books and in the TV specials for 1 and ll
my fave cover is the original Night of the Living Dummy lll cause of the dim lighing and Slappy there in the middle leading his slaves...
I kinda like the knew covers
I wonder if brandon dorman knew he was making worse versions
Jim is classic. Though I do say I like the Brandon photo for the blob that ate everything and say cheese and die.
