''Goosebumps Series 2000'' is a spin-off of the original Goosebumps series by
R. L. Stine. The cover design of the ''Series 2000'' books was different from the original books, though the cover art was again by the same person,
Tim Jacobus. 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 the "Reader Beware, You're In For A Scare!" of the original series was changed to "2000 Times The Scares!" and "Welcome to the new millennium of fear". Only 25 books were printed because of a dispute that R.L. Stine had with Scholastic. A 26th book, called "The Incredible Shrinking Fifth Grader" was planned and while it was canceled, Stine retooled it into a standalone book called "The Adventures of Shrink Man".
The main subject of the covers, the title, and R. L. Stine were printed in raised print, something only ''
Goosebumps HorrorLand'' has other than ''Series 2000''.
Sequels to ''Goosebumps'' books
A few of the ''Series 2000'' books are sequels to original Goosebumps books. Below is a list of those books:
