Slappy New Year!

Slappy New Year! will be the eighteenth book in the Goosebumps HorrorLand series. The release date is set for November 1, 2010.

Plot
Ray Gordon loves scaring his wimpy brother Brandon, and now that he's gotten Slappy, a new dummy from Chiller House in HorrorLand, it's even more fun. His parents command him to stop or they'll cancel his New Year's Eve party, so why do weird things keep happening?

Goosebumps Gold
Originally, this book was planned to be the third book in a series called Goosebumps Gold. However, as R.L. Stine's contract ran out with Scholastic before the series could be released, it and the others in the series were scrapped. Stine has confirmed that although the titles are the same, the plots will not match.

Goosebumps Gold revival theory
This book has raised speculation that Stine will try to revive the other books in the shelved series, as well as the twenty-thred book of Goosebumps Series 2000, scrapped for the same reason. So far there is no word from Stine on whether this theory is true.
