@@shibbyguy101 its suppose to reference the bumps on your skin that show up whenever you get frightened, like how a bare goose without feathers looks like. Chicken skin is also another name for having goosebumps.
Damn… I’m so sorry UK folk you didn’t get to see the great illustrations unless you bought from the US. I’m not hating on the UK illustrations, I’m just saying the US ones were 10x better and more iconic. Edit: After a while it looks like they gave up with their own illustrations and just copied the US cover just with an extremely unpleasant background.
I didn't know that the covers changed between regions. I'm really surprised that we got the North American covers in Australia. Usually we just get whatever the UK gets, since Australian English is closer to UK English than North American English. We even got holographic Tazos of the North American covers.
I like how the UK covers weren't very good, so they eventually just start using a little bubble that has the US cover in it, but that little bubble is still stuck in some colored goo. Like what is up with every UK cover having the respective characters or monsters drowning in goo?
I feel like the American illustrator didn’t hold back at all when it came to the unsettling factor, but over in the UK they might have been a bit more aimed at the assumed age group. I think that’s part of the reason they were so popular over here in the US for us at the time was the cover illustration.
I didn't recognize most of these UK variants (being from the uk myself) so I thought "maybe the school library just had the US versions", then the cover for Ghost Beach appeared and i was hit with so much nostalgia. The same thing happened with monster blood 3.
I swear - the facial expression of the character on the UK cover art for “Stay out of the Basement” looks less menacing and more like he’s gonna say some smart remark and/or roast someone. 😂
I forgot how many of these books I read with my dad. We would sit on my parent's bed and read them almost every night. It was such a great bonding experience, and I honestly really miss it.
Goosebumps in U.S.: Oooooo heres a spooky immersive image of what this book is about Goosebumps in U.K.: AHHHHHHH IM DROWNING IN GOO IT'S EVERYWHERE AHHHHHH
I've only ever seen the US covers since I've grown up here, and I remember many of them from my elementary school library. I think this is pretty fascinating! I like how the UK covers seem almost innocent(?) in a spooky sort of way. For example, I distinctly remember the cover for The Scarecrow Walks at Midnight, since it was one of my favorites, and I also remember feeling a bit frightened of the cover. The UK version, however, while still unsettling, looks a whole lot friendlier, and I think that's neat. :) I think it's very interesting how someone living in the UK could have grown up being fond of the Goosebumps books, just like me, while possibly feeling their own sort of fear at the cover presented to them. I mean, UK's Stay Out of the Basement looks kinda adorable to me 'cause I'm used to the US version, but a face smiling out at you from the book cover can still be very creepy. In short, very cool. I like this. :D
I love how the first half was actual drawings of the book (not great, but not bad), and that the second half they just gave up and just copy and pasted the original cover lol
IIRC the main character fills a model of a robin his sister made for school with worms as a prank, so it's illustrating something from the book. But yeah, without having the context from reading it for the first time, it kind of just looks like a story about a weird bird eating worms.
Seeing these brought back a lot of memories. Growing up in the US a helping of these covers legit left me feeling unnerved like Curse at Camp Cold Lake. But they're great books whether you're young or old. It's tough but I'm going to have to say Scarecrow Walks at Midnight and Beast from the East are my favorite.
One of the things I liked about the uk covers is that they were embossed so you could feel the bubbles on the cover, still have a soft spot for the early uk covers though the usa ones have a very good atmosphere, I remember as kid wondering why they started putting whole images in the slime because it looked so wrong and lazy to me which actually made me less interested in them
As an American, my takeaway was "man... I forgot how unneeving some of those covers were." Like I never read it, but thw cover of Don't Go To Sleep is genuinely Nightmare Fuel.
Too bad it's not remotely accurate to the story. I'd have loved to see a story about a monster that takes kids after they've fallen asleep and the boy who realizes that the best way to fend it off is to stay awake as long as possible.
Although the US cover of ''Night of the Living Dummy'' does have Slappy on the cover, the UK cover makes more sense since Mr. Wood was a main antagonist in the book and Slappy isn't one of them since he only appeared as a cameo. Even some of the American readers were confused if it was Mr. Wood or Slappy appearing on the cover when they first brought one in the 90s.
Luckily for us in the UK all these covers have been reprinted and look so much better now And idk why but looking at the old covers with all the slime makes me feel so nostalgic
I wonder why UK got new covers instead of the US covers. Half of the other books got the US covers but with the bubble filter in the UK. I wonder what the other Goosebumps covers would have looked like with the new art with the bubble filter. I still prefer the US covers I actually have all 62 originally covers except for Ghost Camp which has the 2003-2006 cover.
Ye the dude who was head of film making or something at the time was an extreme pacifist he hated violence so he changed lots of thing like the teenage hero turtles weren’t allowed to carry nunchucks 😶
I find alternate Goosebumps cover art interesting from an american and an adult retrospective point of view just because they're different. I wish all of the books were like this but you can't beat the originals.
I remember a lot of these. Especially The Ghost Next Door and Ghost Beach. Oh and I really liked The Ghost Camp cover. Still remember being really struck by the idea of sticking out like a sore thumb.
I like how the U.K. incorporates the slime/goo motif into the cover art, (until they got lazy) but I don't think they really took advantage of that idea as much as they could have. I still prefer the U.S. covers for overall being scarier, but I do appreciate the U.K. covers for what they were trying to do, even if in my opinion they didn't really succeed most of the time. Some of the U.K. covers I found interesting: Welcome to dead house - good spooky cover, even if a bit generic Say cheese and die - IDK, something about this just sticks out to me The girl who cried monster - Simple, but I find this one to be legitimately way scarier Be careful what you wish for - Not really scary, but it's really pretty and I still like this one more regardless Piano lessons can be murder - Another one I find scarier, but I hate how it gives away a spoiler Monster Blood II - Another case of the art just being scarier Deep trouble - IT ACTUALLY USES THE GOO/SLIME MOTIF The scarecrow walks at midnight - getting a closer look at the scarecrow helps this one a lot Ghost beach - Doesn't really use the "beach" part of the title, but it's still scarier Night in terror tower - Scarrier, also bonus points for having a cover that actually even remotely relates to the story The cuckoo clock of doom - Scarrier, not much else to say Thanks for reading my ramblings!
The Night in Terror Tower one relates to the story in both versions. UK version shows them being locked away in prison awaiting execution. US version shows the executioner hunting them down after they escape.
When I was in secondary school, the library had both the Classic Goosebumps printings and some of the UK releases of the original series. I definitely remember seeing the UK cover for Stay Out of the Basement in the library, but I didn't really understand what it was, 'cause I only really knew the Classic covers at the time... It wasn't until recently, when I got into Goosebumps again, and I looked on the Goosebumps Wiki and saw the UK SOotB cover and I was like, "Wait a minute-!" XD
They were published in the UK around a year or two after the USA so welcome to dead house was published in 1992 so in the UK it was published in 1993-1994
@@UKgoosebumps really cool to see alternate artwork on the covers. Its a shame all of them didn't get this treatment, I feel like the book covered in a shiny bubbling slime is such a neat concept.
Everyone is saying how they wish they had the us for illustrations while I'm just her wanting to know who thought it was a good idea to slap the plot twist of the book onto the cover
The UK got done dirty. What was the thought process behind changing the covers!? It evidently wasn’t a copyright issue considering the fact halfway through they just start putting the USA covers in bubbles!
I think they realised maybe the sales weren’t doing as well because goosebumps never was a big deal in the UK so I think they thought if they change the art to the American one then it would increase sales

@@UKgoosebumps I haven't really read since I was a 12 (14 years ago) but they definitely inspired me to read more horror and try my hand a writing children's literature
I remember seeing the UK cover of Welcome to Dead House in a book of world records.(from the US) I thought it was so cool with the skull in the center of the gooey slime! Many years later seeing the full list of UK covers is so disappointing compared to the first one. Than again, if you read up on Tim Jacobus’s process for making the cover and the time spend on each, you can understand why many would pale in comparison. 😂😂
I think you might be mixed up the ones with lots of drowning goo are the UK ones so the UK one for welcome to dead house is the one with the skull and so on
@@UKgoosebumps weird how I don’t remember any of them though 😅 my friend had a collection and they were the covers on the right. Doesn’t matter just weird
@@LionmaneElsie08 you can find the US ones in the UK I found a whole series that was only printed in the US here in the UK so it is possible (the series was hall of horror)
Why do some of the UK covers look like they were just given the title of the book to work off of? The covers of some don't even match what's going on in the story
A lot of the us covers also didn’t know what the books were about as they were still being written when the art was complete. With say cheese and die, scholastic loved the cover so much that they made stine write in a scene with the skeletons having a family bbq
I prefer the goo ones. I think the title looks better overlayed on it and the early art is more stylised. But the l think the later ones when they literally just a cut a bit of the us art off and put it on looks cheap.
💀💀💀 ain’t no way these are horror book covers, no hate but they genuinely look like children books Like look at night of the living dummy and tell me that doesn’t look like a story about happy dummy who comes to life and behaves to teach kids about family and eating their vegetables or something 💀
For 90s ya horror the UK covers were pretty epic. Like Christopher pike and point horror etc looked pretty scary. I think the US cover of these are better tho.
Wow. So I grew up in the UK and have nothing but nostalgia for these books but compared to their US counterparts, the UK ones just seem... Kinda silly...? Or at least nowhere near as ominous. The only ones I would say the UK got the better cover art was the Barking Ghost and arguably A night in terror tower. Fortunately, as of Camp Jellyjam onwards, they seem to just be smaller cropped versions of the US ones.
Honestly what ruins the Uk goosebumps art cover is the gooey oozy bumpy texture into the story instead showing the viewers the visual artwork of what the story is about. The Uk one actually drawing away from the viewers and it's little confusing.

Many years later seeing the full list of UK covers is so disappointing compared to the first one. Than again, if you read up on Tim Jacobus’s process for making the cover and the time spend on each, you can understand why many would pale in comparison. 😂😂
Interesting that’s cool, i can definitely tell why people prefer the US versions
1:39 From this point on, they weren't even trying
Ye they just copied
@@UKgoosebumps ok
Ones on the right are from the UK if I’m right 🤔 as I recognize a lot of them but none of the ones on the left (I’m from UK).
I think you might be mixed up the ones with lots of drowning goo are the UK ones so the UK one for welcome to dead house is the one with the skull and so on
@@UKgoosebumps weird how I don’t remember any of them though 😅 my friend had a collection and they were the covers on the right. Doesn’t matter just weird
@@LionmaneElsie08 you can find the US ones in the UK I found a whole series that was only printed in the US here in the UK so it is possible (the series was hall of horror)
@@UKgoosebumps wow, maybe that’s why then. I prefer the ones from the US - the UK ones suck a bit 🙈😅
why do we have different book covers?
If your talking about the UK then it’s because the US was realised first and they wanted to do different cover art
@@UKgoosebumps ohh makes sense
Why do some of the UK covers look like they were just given the title of the book to work off of? The covers of some don't even match what's going on in the story
I guess some aren’t clear but I still love them 😢
A lot of the us covers also didn’t know what the books were about as they were still being written when the art was complete. With say cheese and die, scholastic loved the cover so much that they made stine write in a scene with the skeletons having a family bbq
Why do all the UK covers have goo surrounding the images? Lowkey looks goofy
the girl who cried monster was my first goosebumps damn i miss the good old days
Uk looks more realistic
If I recall my sister used to read goosebumps we're from the UK
Wow that’s cool do you ever remember reading them?
If it was UK version we got, would not have even stepped in to the library 😂😂😂😂
I prefer the goo ones. I think the title looks better overlayed on it and the early art is more stylised.
But the l think the later ones when they literally just a cut a bit of the us art off and put it on looks cheap.
Yaya
They really just started phoning it in eventually.
😂 innit
💀💀💀 ain’t no way these are horror book covers, no hate but they genuinely look like children books
Like look at night of the living dummy and tell me that doesn’t look like a story about happy dummy who comes to life and behaves to teach kids about family and eating their vegetables or something 💀
😂
The UK books have the goofiest designs I’ve ever seen. It makes you wonder if the artist for the covers was wearing a clown nose as he made them.
😂 get what you mean
For 90s ya horror the UK covers were pretty epic. Like Christopher pike and point horror etc looked pretty scary. I think the US cover of these are better tho.
👍🏼
the haunted mask one in UK actually looks cool to me...
Innit 😂
Wow. So I grew up in the UK and have nothing but nostalgia for these books but compared to their US counterparts, the UK ones just seem... Kinda silly...? Or at least nowhere near as ominous. The only ones I would say the UK got the better cover art was the Barking Ghost and arguably A night in terror tower. Fortunately, as of Camp Jellyjam onwards, they seem to just be smaller cropped versions of the US ones.
Hats off to the Colonials they took the biscuit in this one.
😂
They literally meant goo in goosebumps in the uk lol.
😂
I can't believe so many of them are just the same cover, but cropped in so tight that you lose all sense of cool Factor from it..
Haha check out my give yourself goosebumps comparison it is awful some of the cropping 😅
Which one is the uk cover?
Uk is on the left!
I’m sad to say I never read any of the goosebump stories because of the covers, live in UK
Damn sorry to hear that I love them still
Honestly what ruins the Uk goosebumps art cover is the gooey oozy bumpy texture into the story instead showing the viewers the visual artwork of what the story is about. The Uk one actually drawing away from the viewers and it's little confusing.
I understand what you mean but I love the actual feel of the slime in the real book covers it’s nice and bumpy
@@UKgoosebumps Oh, the book itself has bumpy texture I thought it's just the illustration effect of the cover.
Ye the actual book does as well which is cool
I will never know if this is a joke,if so it’s kinda funny, but if that is the real UK cover then what the heck, who came up with that?
I can assure you it isn’t a joke 😂check my collection videos
