The Haunted Mask: There is no competing with Jacobus' original work, it was perfect to a T. So, instead I looked at Brandon Robert's version, where Carly Beth is chasing two trick-or-treaters. the only issue I had with Robert's version was that the Haunted Mask itself didn't appear to be the main focal point. So, I had the trick-or-treaters face away from us, have the mask and Carly Beth be in the center, with the moon highlighting the mask in the background.

Also, the trick-or-treaters' costumes are inspired by what me and my childhood friend would wear.

Be Careful What You Wish For...: I think I always knew that it was gonna look like this. Having poor Samantha trapped inside a crystal ball, as it cracks and weird smoke pools out. Also, I wanted Clarissa to be appear to have unknown motives.

Sidenote: In order to make Samantha appear trapped, I took a photo of the finished profile drawing, then applied a red Instagram filter over it.

Piano Lessons Can Be Murder: For a decent book, I'm a bit disappointed that any cover of this, always spoils the biggest twist in the book. So, I tried to do my own personal take, with a wooden piano playing itself, and ghost peering from within. I think I did alright. There's some Easter eggs if you look closely.

The Werewolf of Fever Swamp: Honestly, not much to this one. I drew a werewolf in a swamp, ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. Though, I did improve improve in drawing canine details and such. BTW, this wasn't intentional, but the shirts that Grady and Will wear blend in with their own backgrounds. Again, unintentional.

You Can't Scare Me!: Mixed feelings about this one. This one had the most detailed line-art out of all of them. The green sticks out a bit too much, while the brown almost blends in with the orange, even without the scanner screw-ups. Not to mention the non-existent yellows that now look orange.

But now the things I do like. I gave the Swamp people their own skeleton, with wooden sticks and twigs being their bones, ribs and their teeth. You can barely see it, but they're there. Also, the last names for the kids are once again original by me, except Courtney she has a last name in the episode.

Eddie and Hat's last names are based on Mel Blanc and Eric Bauza, voice actors of Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck.

One Day At HorrorLand: Please believe me when I say the yellows are much prominent on paper. Anyways, I had a lot of fun working this, for I have a personal fondness for amusement parks. The Horror is the piece is actually based the Devil from Devil's Flight, a roller coaster in the movie Final Destination 3.

Other fun things to note: Luke's attire is based on Daisuke from the hit game, Mouthwashing.

Clay's last name is orignal and is based on a inside joke, not Tenna from Deltarune.

Why I'm Afraid Of Bees: I don't want to sound like a broken record, so I won't say anything about the yellows, even though I wan to. I will say something about the greens, they are NOT supposed to be that bright. They're supposed to blend in with the shadows. But...whatever.

Other covers always just Gary's head plastered onto the body of a bee, which is fine, but it gets a little old. So, I did the inverse of it: Have a bee's head on Gary's body, 1950's The Fly. I'm actually not the only one who's tried this: peep VionRejeckOnom.

Monster Blood 2: Ah, Goosebumps' first sequel novella. Which means returning characters. I'd like to imagine that Evan got a haircut while Andy grew her hair out more, with some color touch-ups.

And Cuddles, the Monster Blood-infused hamster kaiju. Now, he's no longer trapped with the tiny wire-frame cage, and has now burst out standing tall on his two hind legs. Hamster-zilla style. Also, try to figure out what the atom is on the blackboard.

Deep Trouble: Very happy with this scan, a bit brighter, but not too different with the colors. Other than that, I actually had some trouble with coming up with what to draw. I had ideas ranging from a Jaws parody, to shark-shaped rocks, and of course a sea monster.

Finally, I landed on the idea that showcases both the hammerhead shark and a sea-creature's hand. Don't wanna spoil anything, but let's say that they have good singing voices.

The Scarecrow Walks At Midnight: I really like scarecrows, so I tried to do my best with this one. So, I gave the guy a cross to be tied to, and a rope wrapped around his neck. While I wanna say I'm proud, I worry that it looks too similar to Jonathan Crane from Batman. But I am proud of the crows and the corn. Also, the moon acting as a glowing halo once again is nice.
