You've got a point, that is the risk with ongoing stories aimed at kids. HorrorLand was a big enough hit to keep the series going but that's more in spite of the arc stuff given Arc 2 was scaled back and felt more like he just did it that way cuz he did it before. Hence the switch back to the normal format.

That and the Arc format meant Stine couldn't his trademark twist endings

I would too like at least a Body Squeezers type thing again. Those Special Editions are as ambitious as the series has gotten lately and they were mostly just padded to get to that status imo, for the most part.
