Goosebumps Series 2000 was a part of the Goosebumps series by R. L. Stine. It was a continuation of the original Goosebumps series. All of the books in the series are now out of print.
Cover design
The cover design of the Series 2000 books was different from the original books. The cover art was by Tim Jacobus, the artist who also did the cover art of the original series. There was no back tagline anymore, and the paragraphs at the back were excerpts from the book rather than a short summary of the story as the original books' back covers had. There was another difference with back covers too, as there was written "Welcome to the new millennium of fear" and the "Reader Beware, You're In For A Scare!" of the original series was changed to "2000 Times The Scares!".
Sequels to Goosebumps books
In Series 2000, there are sequels to some of the original books. Below is a list of those books:
- Bride of the Living Dummy (sequel to Night of the Living Dummy III)
- Return to HorrorLand (sequel to One Day at HorrorLand)
- Return to Ghost Camp (sequel to Ghost Camp)
Sequels to the books in Series 2000
