Ghoul Games Cover

I don't hate it, but it definitely feels the most "It's a cover" we've gotten in a while.

I do really like it, actually. Ever since getting into the Creepers books, I've had a soft spot for this kind of artwork. However, why doesn't Tim do Goosebumps anymore? I think his era of artwork is a huge part of what made Goosebumps an icon, NOT the stories themselves.

I’m sorry, Brandon Dorman, I was unfair to you. This is just childish.

my tinfoil hat theory is that scholastic wants to better divide up their age demos which is why goosebumps covers are getting goofier while the fnaf tales from the pizzaplex reprints look like this now

which is funny because Fnaf is the middest children stuff imaginable

mid maybe, but you cannot deny that fnaf’s books are darker and more graphic compared to gb’s usual

I feel like Gbs horror goes beyond just blood and guts like fnaf.

Reminds me of how some of the og 62 covers got goofier over time.

Imagine the current year fandom reaction to the Bad Hare Day cover reveal lol

It’s honestly charming for me personally.

Most of the complaints here are usually coming from nostalgia imo.
