User blog comment:Monster Blood Drive/ Return of *Insert Villain of Interest*/@comment-33210834-20171018011048

>I've also made a top ten blog of protagonists that should have been stretched in the series. It could also tell you which books I would like to see sequels to. Just to warn you, it may contain spoilers.

But if the character had no purpose to return, then it defeats the point of the sequel. That's why Billy Deep would continue on his deep sea adventures and Carly Beth continued to rid of the Unloved's evil from anyone else because she had the most experience with them. They were memorable and given a clear reason to return at the end of their stories. I'm not sad Gabe didn't seeanother mummy and Evan Ross didn't encounter Monster Blood a fifth time. THey weren't as impactful characters who had little reason to return seeing how their replacements in the HorrorLand series took care of things. Some protagonists are too unimportant and can easily be traded out for another kid. If you want to argue otherwise, why hadn't Amy Krammer, Jillian Zinman, Kris and Lindy Powell, or Trina O Dell return for another Living Dummy sequel? All Stine had to do was to make it a good story. But he didn't. Moved on instead.
