"Who are you calling dummy, dummy?!"

For a horror book series, how do you not expect Nightmare Fuel to come a-creeping? This is considered one of the scariest children's book series around for a very good reason. So troper beware... you're in for a scare...

As a Nightmare Fuel subpage, all spoilers are unmarked. You Have Been Warned.

Goosebumps Series 2000

Let's face it: all of Series 2000 is Nightmare Fuel. Compared to other Goosebumps spin-offs, it has a much, much, much darker and somber tone and there's a lot more bloody violence than the other books (with someone even running over a cat at one point). There's a very good reason why Series 2000 only lasted for two-three years.
