The series was going to be published by HarperCollins in late 2000 instead of by Scholastic, but for whatever reason, the books were not released.

I assume Stine was going to try and get all of the rights to Goosebumps and try to move over to HarperCollins, but he wasn't able to do this, so the series was canned.
