This Artist is Painting Classic ‘Goosebumps’ Covers Onto Pumpkins for Halloween
Some of my all-time favorite pieces of horror art can be found on the classic Goosebumps covers from the ’90s, which completely sold me on reading R.L. Stine’s stories when I was a kid. Those original books all featured covers painted by Tim Jacobus, and the colorful images of Stine’s various monsters and madmen are arguably more iconic than the stories themselves.
This Halloween season, artist @doodle_masterpiece (Ashley) is paying tribute to Jacobus’ Goosebumps covers by painting the art onto pumpkins, which she’s selling through Etsy!
Ashley has thus far painted the covers for Monster Blood II, One Day at Horrorland, Revenge of the Lawn Gnomes, A Shocker on Shock Street and Say Cheese and Die! onto faux acrylic pumpkins, meaning they won’t rot and decay and can therefore be displayed all year round.
Pumpkins start at $65. Browse the Doodle Masterpiece Etsy shop to learn more!
We have an exclusive first look at A Man in the Woods With an Axe, a blood-soaked, genre-twisting homage to 1980s slasher films.
Spanning four decades, A Man in the Woods With an Axe begins in the summer of 1987 before pushing into the modern era, weaving together timelines and perspectives in a way that builds both dread and intrigue.
Drawing inspiration from genre standouts like Tucker and Dale vs. Evil, Hatchet, and The Cabin in the Woods, the film blends visceral horror with moments of dark humor, creating a uniquely balanced experience that honors tradition while carving its own identity.
Writer-director Dillon Brown (Primal Darkness) aims to deliver everything fans crave from a slasher while boldly subverting expectations with a mid-film twist that redefines the story.
“This is an unapologetic love letter to the films that made me fall in love with horror,” Brown tells Bloody Disgusting. “But I didn’t just want to recreate that feeling; I wanted to challenge it. About halfway through, the film takes a turn that completely changes how you view not only this story, but the genre itself.”
Brown describes the vintage-inspired production as “far and away the bloodiest film I’ve ever made,” with practical effects helmed by Cody Ruch (The Mill, Pig Hill), an instructor at Tom Savini’s Special Make-Up Effects Program.
From Horror Dadz Productions, A Man in the Woods With an Axe is currently in production and targeting an early 2027 release.
