Due to declining ''Goosebumps'' sales and increasing competition (primarily from another series from Scholastic, [[Animorphs]]), Scholastic and R. L. Stine decided to create ''[[Goosebumps Series 2000]]''.{{sfn|Jones|1998|pp=152–153}} From 1998 to 2000, 25 books in the series were published, beginning with ''Cry of the Cat''.
