AI Generated Goosebumps Book Covers.

I decided to play around with the AI generator tool "Midjourney AI" and have it re-create some classic Goosebumps book covers.
I wanted to compare Tim Jacobus's classic Goosebumps artwork with what a computer would create just by typing the title of the book into Midjourney AI.
Also as a side note, the word "Blood" is not allowed on Midjourney, so no Monster Blood rendition this time around.

This was the result!

I hope you enjoy!

If you read this let me know your thoughts on AI artwork and which AI generated goosebumps cover you like the most as well as think best fit the book title it's associated with.

I posted the AI images in my community tab if anyone wants to checkout the images unedited.

I like how the "Say Cheese And Die" covers had nothing to do with death, but rather making dice out of cheese.

Meanwhile in a alternate universe, were goosebumps is 18+ horror. These scary looking books exist.

[CaptainMcAnnis]

The third one for "Let's get invisible" is incredible.

The _Welcome to Camp Nightmare_ covers are kickass. Those look like they could be real book or movie covers.

The AI-generated images look good but the original books have a '90s charm that can't be duplicated.

I love that the AI is unfamiliar with colloquialisms and has to interpret “say cheese” and “girl who cried monster” so literally.

*Every other Goosebumps cover:* A twisted, eerie allusion to the deep-seated yet inexplicable terror lurking within the story.

*Say Cheese and Die:* spooky cheese 🧀

For "The Curse of the Mummy's Tomb, " the AI renditions with multiple mummies are actually more accurate than the official book cover.

Tim Jacobus' cover art is probably the reason most of read our first Goosebumps books as kids. It's so detailed and uncanny that it just grabs you.

Interesting that the AI doesn't understand "say cheese" and "cried" as in shout. Are those images copyright protected in some way?

[genericuser]

i always loved the little text on the covers and how some try to be all mysterious but then there's ones like the dead house "it will just kill you" that dont even try and it makes me laugh

“Say Cheese and Die”

Original artist: *draws a family of the dead gathering together for a photo*

A.I. artist: _”C H E E S E! CHEESE FOR EVERYONE!”_

Some of them definitely look scarier than the original ones, but most of them were kind of cheesy. (no pun intended for say cheese and die)

[soldiersmemestash]

I never read Goosebumps, but this is still really cool.

[ciannolan]

This is legitimately how people could get designs for book covers in the future and I'm not entirely sure how I feel about that

[Chocobozpwn]

These were amazing! The say cheese and die part was hilarious, the AI was quite literal. Never thought I'd see scary cheeses. Please continue to make more of these.

I love how Night of the Living Dummy is just the same picture but different

[thehumenthing]

I like a few of the AI covers, but still ended up loving the originals much more. Goes to show how iconic the OG Goosebumps covers are

[crimsonbladewielder]

If anything it just makes you appreciate how creative & unique the original cover art even more.
