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.**
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
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.
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
@@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
@@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.
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.
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.
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.
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 The haunted mask - Old Be careful what you wish for - Old (close) The werewolf of fever swamp - Old (VERY close) You cant scare me - New One day at horrorland - Old Deep trouble - Old The scarecrow walks at midnight - New Ghost beach - Old Return of the mummy - New Phantom of the auditorium - Old (close) A night in terror tower - Old Night of the living dummy 2 - Old The horror at camp jellyjam - Old Revenge of the lawn gnomes - Old (close) A shocker on shock street - Old The haunted mask 2 - New The headless ghost - Old (close) The abominable snowman of Pasadena - Old How I got my shrunken head - Old Night of the living dummy 3 - New (VERY close) Attack of the jack-o-lanterns - New Vampire breath - Old The blob that ate everyone - Old Please don’t feed the vampire - New Bride of the living dummy - Old Attack of the graveyard ghouls - Old (Slightly close) The haunted car - New
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
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 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
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.
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’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.
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.
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 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.
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).
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’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.
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.
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!
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"
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
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.
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
Most of Jacobus' covers are creepier. But for a decent number of them (Be Careful What You Wish For, Deep Trouble, Scarecrow Walks At Midnight, A Shocker on Shock Street, Haunted Mask II, The Haunted Car) Dorman has got him beat.
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.
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.
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
1. Welcome to Dead House 2. Stay Out of the Basement 3. Monster Blood 4. Say Cheese and Die! 5. Curse of the Mummy's Tomb 6. Let's Get Invisible! 7. Night of the Living Dummy 8. Welcome to Camp Nightmare 9. The Ghost Next Door 10. The Haunted Mask 11. Be Careful What You Wish For 12. The Werewolf of Fever Swamp 13. You Can't Scare Me! 14. One Day at HorrorLand 15. Deep Trouble 16. Scarecrow Walks at Midnight 17. Ghost Beach 18. Return of the Mummy 19. Phantom of the Auditorium 20. A Night in Terror Tower
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...
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"
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.
Some of the newer covers are more interesting, but most of the old ones are better. They should have kept the original G though. It had pizzazz.The larger titles are an improvement.
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
I relatively agree. His art deserves to be in a indie R-rated horror animated series in the same vein of Spawn animated series.
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.**

@@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

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?

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.
There was nothing actually scary about Brandon’s work. I’m 31 and still wanna read a few for the nostalgia.

I read about the twist ending of Attack of the Graveyard Ghouls and I thought of it as a funny twist ending.

i remember being a goosebumbs fan boy back in elementary school i miss those days😭
I think Tim Jacobs and Brandon Doorman are both really talented
the old ones looked so much scarier but the new ones are really pretty too
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!!
Doesn’t matter how old you are, once a goosebumps fan, always a goosebumps fan
I will always love the classics but the new ones are still amazing
Goosebumps for life ❤

It's because he did it digitally. His hand drawn art is far superior.

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.
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 a shocker on shock Street cover on the right isn't scary and it's my favorite
I think tim jacoobus the headless ghost one with the creepiest
Most of Jacobus' covers are creepier. But for a decent number of them (Be Careful What You Wish For, Deep Trouble, Scarecrow Walks At Midnight, A Shocker on Shock Street, Haunted Mask II, The Haunted Car) Dorman has got him beat.
I agree
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.
Goosebumps King 👍😎
Tim Jacobs (legends) , New (Kids)
The subtlety of the font in the original covers’ titles. Much more spooky.
Maybe it's because of nostalgia, but the old covers are WAY better!
If it ain't broken, don't fix it.
Good things in the Italian version:
Books have Jacobus's covers and Brandon Dorman's title font
The old ones are better they just have that creepy feeling that I love that the new ones doesn't give you 😊😅
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.
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.

By which artists?
For some of the books I say the new are much better but for majority the original are the best
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...
Attack of The Graveyard Ghouls (1998)
I wonder if brandon dorman knew he was making worse versions
Most of the Ogs being scarier:
The Blob That Ate Everyone: Hold my beer
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"
Bloody hell, I forgot how creepy Slappy looked in the old-school cover art
I'd rather prefer the 1990's goosebumps art from Tim Jacobus.
Oh easily deep trouble was the scariest with the shark only being seconds away from eating its next victim
The original covers are way creepier!!!! OG FTW!!!
you can't scare me 👍👍👍
The older ones are just scarier
Happy Halloween, everyone! 👻🍬🍫🎃

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 goosebumps
I actually think the new Blob That Ate Everyone cover is better
The original is more iconic though.
Some of the newer covers are more interesting, but most of the old ones are better. They should have kept the original G though. It had pizzazz.The larger titles are an improvement.
attack of the graveyard ghouls cover is terrifying sheesh
Which one? The Original or Remake?
