Goosebumps Artist Tim Jacobus Reveals Cover For Unpublished Goosebumps 2000 Book

It’s probably safe to assume that part of what led R. L. Stine’s Goosebumps books to sell over 400 million copies worldwide was due to the amazing hand painted cover illustrations from artist Tim Jacobus.

The Incredible Shrinking Fifth Grader was originally going to be an installment in the Goosebumps Series 2000 line, but was cancelled when Stine’s contract with publisher Scholastic expired. So while it’s a damn shame that the book never saw the light of day, Jacobus recently revealed that he had actually completed the cover art, which he shared with a Goosebumps fan upon request, who later uploaded it to a message board for all the world to see. And all I can say is wow, it belongs in a goddamn art museum.

If you’re also a Goosebumps fan, let us know in the comments below if the cover for The Incredible Shrinking Fifth Grader makes you wish the book had hit stores.

Scarred For Life
Episode 265: Novocaine Directors Dan Berk and Robert Olsen and Hellraiser (1987)
This week we're so excited to chat with Dan Berk and Robert Olsen! They are the writers/directors of Villains and Significant Other and their latest film, Novocaine is coming out Friday the 14th of March! We talk about making an action film where the character can't feel pain, inspirations and more. Then Terry HAD to talk to them briefly about one of the wild narrative shifts in Significant Other (Please go watch; it's on Paramount+). If you know Terry's love of a specific kind of horror, you might guess the part...and they share a WILD story about coming up with that sequence and then filming it. Then we go back to Hellraiser and find out why it was their Scarred for Life pick.Dan and Bobby are not on social media, but check out Novocaine on March 14th!Follow Mary Beth, Terry and the Podcast on Bluesky.
