When I was a kid, I kind thought she was... you know *b i r t h e d* into the world like everyone else. Birds and the bees stuff. Now that I’m much older and had read Frankenstein, the idea that she’s a reanimated corpse seems so freaking mind blowing but it totally makes sense and is very plausible. Especially when you consider that whenever humans are involved in the movies/shows, she’s always the one that tries to improve bonds between humans and ghouls *because she most likely used to be a human as well.*
Also! Viperine: Daughter of Stheno, a Gorgon and Medusa's sister (We need an Euryale child, she's the third Gorgon) Casta Fierce: Daughter of Circe, the greek sorceress known for turning people into enslaved animals. Cupid: Literal daughter of the Greek God of Love himself, Eros Iris: Daughter of the Cyclops; greek mythology Manny: Son of the Minotaur; greek mythology
@@Pandie2828 it’s been stated in Monster high and Ever after high that she’s the daughter of Eros. In a EAH special Mt Olympus was shown to be cupids home aswell
Here to say that the books I read about Monster High are so entertaining, and I'm a dude in my twenties. The final cliffhanger for the first book in the series is literally "I think you need to get your act together and figure out which of you is taking me to the school dance." which is so funny to me. "Frankie was made for the main character role" And she is, in this book series! Also, the other Monster High book series I read had an autistic-coded Gargoyle girl who is so precious.
I'm still not over the fact that they have a Monster High/Ever After High cross-over story boarded and in the voice acting process when they rebooted MH and cancelled EAH, we were so close.
The old Monster High was a complex series that discusses prejudice and still manages to look like a dumb superficial kids movie series. The new Monster High is just a dumb superficial kids movie series. Edit: Thanks for the likes! ❤
There was a serious rebranding after parents started complaining that the dolls (and the cartoons based on them) were too sexualized because many of the girls wore short skirts and heavy makeup. So the character design took a heavy hit, and I imagine all the other touchy themes went away to avoid making parents angry. (Because apparently even implying racism is a thing in the modern word is enough to get parents to boycott you, nowadays.)
I love Monsters High's message "freaky flaws and all" I also really love how in Friday Night Frights they break gender norms but still stay true to themselves. It is something I have seen in movies other than Legally Blonde.
@@luqaas Basically, In Friday Night Frights only guys could participate in this game called "Scream". It's like advanced roller skating with some fighting. So the girls decide to just play it themselves when no one else wants to. Allowing both girls and guys alike to play.
Nothing, absolutely nothing, none of the trauma, the trials and tribulations, the dangers unknown and hardships unnumbered, have ever made me feel even a sliver of the despair I felt when deuce and cleo broke up
My 7 year old ass straight up cried when I watched that😭😭 also every single song in Boo York deserves to be on top charts of best music I still listen to them to this day
Being obsessed with Monster High when I was younger entirely defined my sexuality and is absolutely the reason every character I design must be non-human.
Suggestion: Monster High fans should just band together and raise a shit ton of money to buy the franchise back from Mattel's greedy, grubby, money-hungry hands. We could get the original creators on board and start churning out actually good movies again, with as many uncensored minority characters as we want.
It was my first Monster High movie, so it holds a special place in my heart. Also, it's about Halloween so that is great too Tho I also really like Boo York, so it's hard to decide 🤔

Like the franchise was fine until parents started complaining about the characters being “scary” and then proceeded to f up everything, my childhood has been f up
as someone who's never seen monster high growing up this feels like watching a documentary on an ancient civilization that soared high and glorious at its zenith, but decline sad and rapidly, with only sparse and derivative cultural pockets behind I can try to grasp its relevance from afar but I'll never know what it was like in the heydays
I have a whole shelf full of em. Between me and my sister, gotta be around 50. I’d say at least half of those are top condition (unfortunately a lot of them were gotten when we were very young, and, y’know, kids). Baby’s first hyperfixation!
my mom didn't let me watch the monster high movies because she said they'd "make me lose brain cells." based off of this video, i can come to the objectively correct conclusion that my mom had no fucking clue what she was talking about
My mom let me see the movies but not have the dolls because she thought I’d choke on the little parts or something. I don’t blame her i was not a very bright child that sounds very much like something I’d do
My mom was kinda liked that except she had the mindset that it’ll mess up my head due to them being “scary-looking” and “boy-ish” to her, though she’ll still let me watch them and even bought me monster high related things, especially the dolls. She would try and convince me to be more obsessed with Barbie since they are more colorful and look girly but to no avail
At this point I feel like like Mattel should cut the "family friendly reboot" bull and just rate it pg-13 and use that as an excuse to go twice as hard on as the original on representation of minorities and discussion of actual social issues. I mean, there are SO MANY teen/adult fandoms for kid's shows! It would do great!
Honestly. I want monsterhigh to have a darker macabe vibe for the old generations who grew up watching monster high. I mean theyre already making a new line of dolls based of off iconic horror films anyway.
Same with Ever After High. The original fairytales are so dark, it would be easy to make a more mature reboot for the people who were fans as kids and are now adults. I would love to see and EAH and Monster High reboot that takes it to a darker level (like a good reboot, not something like the teen Winx reboot on Netflix). If done properly, it could be a really good show. And we could finally get the cross-over we were promised.
@@KittyOfChess I always wanted a reboot of Ever After High for that reason! I wasn't into Monster High that much (it was cool; however, I still liked EAH better), but Ever After High was my favorite show for years! I wished that the universe was a little darker and more mature, because as you said, the original fairytales were DARK, dark as hell, and that would've been cool to see how it would've panned out in the show. (The darkest I'd say that EAH got was "Spring Un-sprung", as well as the Dragon Games). I partially read the books, and I was introduced to Monster High due to the crossover that was one of those books. Also, on a side note, I love your profile picture and username. Kitty Cheshire is my favorite character. I had a bunch of EAH dolls when I was little, though my parents forced me to give them to my little sister when I grew older, except for one doll that I was allowed to keep... I kept Kitty because I thought she was amazing. I still have her to this day. My second favorite character was probably Darling Charming, but I liked Kitty more, ha ha ha. But yeah, that would be awesome! :D - A fellow Ever After High fan
i find the need to say that kiyomi (from haunted, the girl with no face that changes colour)has a crush on draculaura and nathan was supposed to be gay also. my dude is a walking pride flag. idk why they didn't let clawdeen and the others be gay and lesbians because it would have been a big step. idk how they could say they weren't ready when the creator was the only lgbt+ person working on the show.
it felt to good to hear that Garrett has confirmed that lesbian Clawdeen is canon but I really wish we could’ve seen it happen in the episodes and/or movies
Oh gods, hearing the Monster High theme there at the end……no words, just a huge wave of nostalgia over my heart. Don’t mind me, I’ll just be crying in the corner cause the 'Good Monster High'TM is no more. (Seriously, the day I saw a new doll with that giant smile plastered over her face rather than the usual 'resting face’, I knew it was over for the franchise, it down-graded massively.)
The new wave of monsters high dolls is like if barbie was in the drivers seat of the whole operation. Because the soccer mom karens got freaked out that it was too creepy and inappropriate for kids.
Legit watched every mh movie, read 3 of the books,and even had some dolls when I were younger, I love this video so much and I keep goin “oh yeah that happened”
I only ever had one monster high doll (it was lagoona blue, for the record) because my parents thought they perpetuated unrealistic beauty standards. Little did the know, I didn’t want to be like her. I wanted to be with her.
I’ll die on my grave by saying that Ghouls Rule changed an entire generation but in the best way in terms of learning about social injustices early on, also Cleo was hot in that movie too ./////.
@@megank8373 i used to watch those silent playthroughs on youtube with the crusty quality i was obsessed 😭 (also the heel clacking sound effect was satisfying)
All the boo-York songs are INGRAINED in my memory for all time. I literally jammed to them every day as a kid. Probably my favorite movie out of all of them. I’m also going to go read Valentines Diary because I love lore and I’m TO curious for my own good it’s freaking calling me man.
i’ve always loved monster high so fucking much like i still have the dolls but i’m 18 now. the representation of different minorities, the looks, the music, the vocabulary YES YES YES YES
7:41 Deuce was the son of Medusa. Greek myth. Viperine was the daughter of Stheno, Medusa's sister. (is there a child of Euryale? The third sister?) Casta Fierce was the daughter of the greek sorceress Circe. Iris is the daughter of a cyclops. Greek myth. Manny was the son of the Minotaur. Greek myth. Cupid is literally a daughter of the greek god of love himself: Eros. I read a book on Ever After High and it mentioned something about an Olympus High. Not surprised about confirmation the existence of Greek gods, but I need an Olympus High.
There's a show like that called "Gods' School: The Olympian God's" currently being produced and uploaded on UA-cam, it only has a few episodes so far but I suggest you check it out! :)
When you think about it Deuce wouldn’t be too found of Percy Jackson (if they were in the same universe) because Percy chopped off Medusa’s head but think about the reaction between them (sense there parents dated) not to mention that Percy is dating AnnaBeth (daughter of Athena) and Deuce Probably know how his mom became a monster and Deuce probably saying meeting Athena would’ve been awkward
Also, Widowna Spider is the daughter of Arachne!! And there was also a Harpy character whose name I forgot and also a character who was the daughter of the Ceryneian Hind from the myth 12 Labours of Hercules. Plus, there's Amber Midas in Ever After High who is the daughter of king Midas! Seems like both these franchises got a lot of inspiration from Greek Mythology:))
Monster High is one of my autistic special interest. I grew up playing with them and know all of the lore. I'm very excited for the re-reboot of Monster High. Thank you for making this video.
It used to be one of my special interests too, I love that you have it is one of yours, it still has a special place in my heart. The old ones anyway, not the new ones. But if you like the new ones that’s ofc your opinion 💕/gen
It’s also one of my special interests! My dolls are all packed away, but I still write stories for them! (Especially since Halloween Horror Nights at Universal Studios is another one of my interests making it easy to cross over!) Can’t wait for the reboot!!
@@1nky_JEM Yes!! This spring, new dolls are supposed to hit the shelves, and a new movie will be coming out this summer on Nickelodeon. (As far as I know. Dates can change of course.)
I'm genuinely shocked I never got into Monster High, it's exactly the kind of thing I would've adored as a small child. I think I'm gonna try and watch it. Edit: I just remembered that I, at one point, had what I think was a DS game based on the series that I played constantly I wonder if I can find another copy of it.
1. I still have the dolls and they won't leave my room until I move out (shout out to Ghoulias scooter that I got way after Monster High was famous for a cheap price and one of the books) 2. The reboot movies are non canon in my eyes 3. Clawdeen is definitely gay for Draculaura 4. I only watched Ghouls rule, the one with the tkis and the dude that turns giant and Scaris and still consider all of them masterpieces 5. Mattel definitely ruined Monster High and doesn't deserve them anymore 6. I'm 19 and openly admit that I still love Monster High!
My childhood is coming back to me in full force- Edit: I didn't even know they made new movies with NEW CHARACTER DESIGNS THAT SUCK? Excuse me, wtf is this shit?
It looks like the soul was suck out of the characters- seriously what’s with reboots of older series getting all their characters to feel like they have no soul-
Personally I like Electrified. Only because it's really hard to see good stimming representation. It's great to show kids that kind of thing. Would a saved me alot of guilt for "not quite" slapping my hands.
@@twist_ending7545 It's when Frankie is kind of flailing her hands to release excess electricity. Near the end she has to much electricity and become unresponsive. And her friend remembers her how she did last time. As someone who is autistic and get over stimulated easily. I can just pick that more easily. It's not obvious but it is still nice to see.
I loved these movies as a kid! "Boo York Boo York", "Why do Ghouls Fall in Love?", "Scaris City of Frights", "Frights, Camera, Action", "Haunted", and "Great Scarrier Reef" were the ones I watched, I now for some reason want a doll of one now.
empire is infact one of the best songs to ever be created by whoever the hell made the music for monster highs boo-york. i was too young to understand the lyrics but i jammed my little heart out to them everyday when it was first released (also i definitely had a crush on kitty noir)
The best part of any media that involves Frankenstein is when they make sure to point out that Victor is the scientist, bonus points if they make sure to remember he is still *Monstrously* unethical
I think a huge reason as to why people love monster high so much was bc they actually taught you things about society and the characters were so uncommon and unique that it was hard not to fall in love with the characters.
The reboot was honestly so difficult for me to watch, especially the whole thing between Clawdeen’s Mom and Dracula since I’m so used to Draculaura and Clawd being a canon couple
I love that this series isn't even trying to be for the kids anymore, Mattel know the monster high target audience is growing up now, and so are their characters (while remaining PG-13 of course)
13 Wishes is one of my favorite Monster High movies. It gets dark as fuck. Howleen basically traps her friends in the lamp, replaces them with shadow versions of them, gains a fucking cult, Lagoona goes insane there’s no sugarcoating that, and then Whisp is given the opportunity to grant wishes and is still trapped in the lamp, but now she actually has NO ONE with her. She is all alone. All she wanted was a friend. Also Twyla is best girl.
8:44 why did it take just now for me to realize that they didn't just make ghoulia a bitch and that is an entirely different character with a partially similar name-
Sadly, these movies weren't something I grew up with but me and my sister love watching them now. These, the Tinkerbell films and the classic Barbie films are my guilty pleasures. I actually have a ton of monster high dolls just sitting in a bag waiting to be taken apart and customised lol.
0:38 I read the books and it was Way heavy handed in the allegory department. It was a lot more serious than the movies were (probably for toy/kid show purposes but you know), and I think it’d be interesting to see an adaption closer to the books
4:08 I have the 3DS game of this that follows the bad end. I have no clue how to save, and I have no clue how to load my save file consistently, and I have not passed the first section yet, BUT I also haven't played it in a while, so I might've just been bad at video games. Both the movie and the game are p cool though. I also have some monster high dolls hidden away in my doll box. I never like consistently watched the show, I just enjoyed the movies that I saw. Either Frankie or Draculaura was my favorite, since I still have my Draculaura plush, but also I was a sucker for protagonists back then so

2:12 I’m glad I’m not the only one who’s salty about Kipling‘s reveal like the man wore a literal potato sack with eyeholes and yet the only thing “wrong” with him is that he has elephant ears. I will admit I appreciate Mattel giving him a bigger body type but I was expecting him to have like a hunchback of Norte dame face. I would have loved it if he was a Cynocephali, which is a dog-headed humanoid. I would specially give him the head of a St. Bernard because 1 it would fit with his whole gentle giant personality and 2 give him a legit reason to wear a potato sack. Ironically, Escape from Skull Shores is one of my favorite mh movies.
I remember when monster high first came out. I was instantly in love because Dracula was pink and a vampire, but my mother was a little on the fence because the dolls were monsters and the commercials seemed kinda "scary". Luckily I was able to convince her to watch one of the MH movies with me and my English Major mother was instantly won over by the clever monster puns that saturated the movie.
I blame Yo-Kai Watch for that reason for me I feel like I’m incapable of making human ocs unless it’s like the human form of a creature And I tend to make most of my characters creatures
One thing I am disappointed that the Hauntlywood movie didn’t take advantage of is the perfect monster pun of a “limb-osine” or “limb-o.” It was literally right there and the ghouls were seen getting out of one so why did no one use that pun?
I remember loving the 3d movies when I was younger. Then I got older, cringed at them. Now I'm trying to go against cringe culture, and remember how much fun I had watching these.
I'll admit I wasn't a big fan of the monster high dolls since I was more of an Ever After High kind of person and preferred it more, but man did I love watching the Monster High movies when I was younger. Cancelling EAH and rebooting MH was Mattel's biggest mistake. (Also the fact that Neighthon has the same VA as Kaeya I-)
I think I, a person approaching their mid-twenties, watched "Welcome to Monster High" sometime last year and I was shakened. I then went on a research spree about the rebranding of the franchise and it's a neverending shame.
"Is Frankie that girl's reanimated corpse?"
No no, you have a point.
Give me THAT story.
Considering the monster she is based on?
Makes WAAAAY too much sense
Like that had me stopping up for a second.
When I was a kid, I kind thought she was... you know *b i r t h e d* into the world like everyone else. Birds and the bees stuff. Now that I’m much older and had read Frankenstein, the idea that she’s a reanimated corpse seems so freaking mind blowing but it totally makes sense and is very plausible.

She would try and convince me to be more obsessed with Barbie since they are more colorful and look girly but to no avail
At this point I feel like like Mattel should cut the "family friendly reboot" bull and just rate it pg-13 and use that as an excuse to go twice as hard on as the original on representation of minorities and discussion of actual social issues. I mean, there are SO MANY teen/adult fandoms for kid's shows! It would do great!
Honestly. I want monsterhigh to have a darker macabe vibe for the old generations who grew up watching monster high. I mean theyre already making a new line of dolls based of off iconic horror films anyway.
Same with Ever After High. The original fairytales are so dark, it would be easy to make a more mature reboot for the people who were fans as kids and are now adults. I would love to see and EAH and Monster High reboot that takes it to a darker level (like a good reboot, not something like the teen Winx reboot on Netflix). If done properly, it could be a really good show. And we could finally get the cross-over we were promised.
@@KittyOfChess I always wanted a reboot of Ever After High for that reason! I wasn't into Monster High that much (it was cool; however, I still liked EAH better), but Ever After High was my favorite show for years! I wished that the universe was a little darker and more mature, because as you said, the original fairytales were DARK, dark as hell, and that would've been cool to see how it would've panned out in the show. (The darkest I'd say that EAH got was "Spring Un-sprung", as well as the Dragon Games). I partially read the books, and I was introduced to Monster High due to the crossover that was one of those books. Also, on a side note, I love your profile picture and username. Kitty Cheshire is my favorite character. I had a bunch of EAH dolls when I was little, though my parents forced me to give them to my little sister when I grew older, except for one doll that I was allowed to keep... I kept Kitty because I thought she was amazing. I still have her to this day. My second favorite character was probably Darling Charming, but I liked Kitty more, ha ha ha.
But yeah, that would be awesome! :D

I don’t think you need to rate a movie of-13 to put a black person in it
Teens and adults are the main watchers anyways so might as well cater to them
i find the need to say that kiyomi (from haunted, the girl with no face that changes colour)has a crush on draculaura and nathan was supposed to be gay also. my dude is a walking pride flag. idk why they didn't let clawdeen and the others be gay and lesbians because it would have been a big step. idk how they could say they weren't ready when the creator was the only lgbt+ person working on the show.
with Kiyomi, Y E S but with Nathan, he really liked Frankie as a love interest, but anyway who dont love Frankie ¿huh?
it felt to good to hear that Garrett has confirmed that lesbian Clawdeen is canon but I really wish we could’ve seen it happen in the episodes and/or movies
also I don’t remember if kiyomi liking girls is canon or not but I’ve always loved the idea that she had a crush on draculaura,,, it’s so cute to me
@@lazuriite yeah, it sounds adorable :<
Huh, Draculaura is a heartbreaker lol
@@mayoneese6108 he is the color of the pan flag, so i guess i’d assume pan
Oh gods, hearing the Monster High theme there at the end……no words, just a huge wave of nostalgia over my heart. Don’t mind me, I’ll just be crying in the corner cause the 'Good Monster High'TM is no more. (Seriously, the day I saw a new doll with that giant smile plastered over her face rather than the usual 'resting face’, I knew it was over for the franchise, it down-graded massively.)
Same with the theme song
The new wave of monsters high dolls is like if barbie was in the drivers seat of the whole operation. Because the soccer mom karens got freaked out that it was too creepy and inappropriate for kids.
Legit watched every mh movie, read 3 of the books,and even had some dolls when I were younger, I love this video so much and I keep goin “oh yeah that happened”
THERE WERE BOOKS!?
@@snazzydeadbeat3454 YESS YOU SHOULD READ THEM LITERALLY S TEIR BOOKS :D
love ur pfp
I LOVE URS TOO LOL@@luqaas
@@definitelynotbutters1183 what were they called?
8:24 I can only imagine how overpowered the holy hand grenade would be in that crossover
I only ever had one monster high doll (it was lagoona blue, for the record) because my parents thought they perpetuated unrealistic beauty standards. Little did the know, I didn’t want to be like her. I wanted to be with her.
MOOD
Damn i got 5 dolls
I thought American parents hated them because they're goth.
The term "homophobic clouds" is so insane that it's incredible
I’ll die on my grave by saying that Ghouls Rule changed an entire generation but in the best way in terms of learning about social injustices early on, also Cleo was hot in that movie too ./////.
My fav monster high movie!
This is my first exposure to these movies and I wouldn't have it any other way.
You gotta play the games too
They’re quite the experience.
I remember watching them on UA-cam half a decade ago. Feels like forever…
@@Zephirite. same it's insane
@@moonytoast116
They feel like a fever dream.
Not bad or good, just surreal.
@@megank8373 i used to watch those silent playthroughs on youtube with the crusty quality i was obsessed 😭 (also the heel clacking sound effect was satisfying)
We all know that without Ghoulia they'd all be long dead
Who here would watch monster high if it was pg 13 and not like the trashy reboot ?
*raises hand*
I would watch it
It would be so good
We should put that idea into Mattels head
Raises hand I would definitely watch it
All the boo-York songs are INGRAINED in my memory for all time. I literally jammed to them every day as a kid. Probably my favorite movie out of all of them. I’m also going to go read Valentines Diary because I love lore and I’m TO curious for my own good it’s freaking calling me man.
"Empire" is burned into my brain and I haven't seen the movie since it came out
@@twist_ending7545 Oh my god… I’m getting flashbacks I think I can still sing the whole song ;-;
@@voidopall548 I don't remember any other song in that movie except that one. WHY?? and HOW??
@@twist_ending7545 It’s the biggest bop in the whole movie no one who grew up on monster high doesn’t remember that song XD
@@voidopall548 fair. I grew up on Monster High and Scooby Doo which definitely influenced how I am now.
i’ve always loved monster high so fucking much like i still have the dolls but i’m 18 now. the representation of different minorities, the looks, the music, the vocabulary YES YES YES YES
Back then I tried my hardest to persuade my little sister to get a monster high doll, just so I could play with it in secret lol.
I relate to this so mucj
"I am a claud and draculaura shipper 4 lyfe” Me when I was seven and obsessed with monster high
The fact that Ghoulia never said any words in the entire franchise and still to managed to be one of my favourite characters is ᴇᴠᴇʀʏᴛʜɪɴɢ

Deuce was the son of Medusa. Greek myth. Viperine was the daughter of Stheno, Medusa's sister. (is there a child of Euryale? The third sister?)
Casta Fierce was the daughter of the greek sorceress Circe. Iris is the daughter of a cyclops. Greek myth. Manny was the son of the Minotaur. Greek myth. Cupid is literally a daughter of the greek god of love himself: Eros.
I read a book on Ever After High and it mentioned something about an Olympus High.
Not surprised about confirmation the existence of Greek gods, but I need an Olympus High.
There's a show like that called "Gods' School: The Olympian God's" currently being produced and uploaded on UA-cam, it only has a few episodes so far but I suggest you check it out! :)
@@queenpuggles ooo thanks!
When you think about it Deuce wouldn’t be too found of Percy Jackson (if they were in the same universe) because Percy chopped off Medusa’s head but think about the reaction between them (sense there parents dated) not to mention that Percy is dating AnnaBeth (daughter of Athena) and Deuce Probably know how his mom became a monster and Deuce probably saying meeting Athena would’ve been awkward
@@todogirl1258 Percy Jackson x Monster High is a crossover I didn’t know I needed
Also, Widowna Spider is the daughter of Arachne!!
And there was also a Harpy character whose name I forgot and also a character who was the daughter of the Ceryneian Hind from the myth 12 Labours of Hercules.
Plus, there's Amber Midas in Ever After High who is the daughter of king Midas!
Seems like both these franchises got a lot of inspiration from Greek Mythology:))
Monster High is one of my autistic special interest. I grew up playing with them and know all of the lore. I'm very excited for the re-reboot of Monster High. Thank you for making this video.
Thank you for watching! I'm so glad you enjoyed it :)
It used to be one of my special interests too, I love that you have it is one of yours, it still has a special place in my heart. The old ones anyway, not the new ones. But if you like the new ones that’s ofc your opinion 💕/gen
It’s also one of my special interests! My dolls are all packed away, but I still write stories for them! (Especially since Halloween Horror Nights at Universal Studios is another one of my interests making it easy to cross over!) Can’t wait for the reboot!!
I’m sorry, REBOOT?
@@1nky_JEM Yes!! This spring, new dolls are supposed to hit the shelves, and a new movie will be coming out this summer on Nickelodeon. (As far as I know. Dates can change of course.)
I'm genuinely shocked I never got into Monster High, it's exactly the kind of thing I would've adored as a small child. I think I'm gonna try and watch it.
Edit: I just remembered that I, at one point, had what I think was a DS game based on the series that I played constantly I wonder if I can find another copy of it.
1. I still have the dolls and they won't leave my room until I move out (shout out to Ghoulias scooter that I got way after Monster High was famous for a cheap price and one of the books)
2. The reboot movies are non canon in my eyes
3. Clawdeen is definitely gay for Draculaura
4. I only watched Ghouls rule, the one with the tkis and the dude that turns giant and Scaris and still consider all of them masterpieces
5. Mattel definitely ruined Monster High and doesn't deserve them anymore
6. I'm 19 and openly admit that I still love Monster High!
I miss the older style so bad!!! The new ones are so mediocre it hurts
My childhood is coming back to me in full force-
Edit: I didn't even know they made new movies with NEW CHARACTER DESIGNS THAT SUCK? Excuse me, wtf is this shit?
I didn't know MH was rebooted at all. Agreed, looks terrible.
It looks like the soul was suck out of the characters- seriously what’s with reboots of older series getting all their characters to feel like they have no soul-
5:51 WE DO NOT CLOWN ON VICTOR-
Personally I like Electrified. Only because it's really hard to see good stimming representation. It's great to show kids that kind of thing. Would a saved me alot of guilt for "not quite" slapping my hands.
It had what? I may need to watch it..
@@twist_ending7545 It's when Frankie is kind of flailing her hands to release excess electricity. Near the end she has to much electricity and become unresponsive. And her friend remembers her how she did last time.
As someone who is autistic and get over stimulated easily. I can just pick that more easily. It's not obvious but it is still nice to see.
@@hydrofalls8154 I just watched this video ua-cam.com/video/LAws-MBhUL0/v-deo.html and omg
@@twist_ending7545 yeah it's awesome to have that.
@@hydrofalls8154 I think I stimmed for a whole 20 minutes after watching that video.
I loved these movies as a kid! "Boo York Boo York", "Why do Ghouls Fall in Love?", "Scaris City of Frights", "Frights, Camera, Action", "Haunted", and "Great Scarrier Reef" were the ones I watched, I now for some reason want a doll of one now.
empire is infact one of the best songs to ever be created by whoever the hell made the music for monster highs boo-york.
i was too young to understand the lyrics but i jammed my little heart out to them everyday when it was first released (also i definitely had a crush on kitty noir)
I was more of an Ever After High child, but still I binged all these movies (not the remake tho)
Same. EAH is my childhood❤️🍎💜🔮🎩🥀🌹
I noticed that Neighthaniel from Freaky Fusion was pansexual, AND I LOVED THAT MOVIE. WHAT AM I NOW?! Panromantic grey-ro Asexual
I was truly obsessed with Monster High as a kid and I’m also panromantic :)
hey guys just wanted to say clawdeen is a lesbian, she was my favorite character, and guess what, I'm a lesbian now
I definitely had a crush on her
Clawdeen was my first crush
bdhddjdhhdhd same tho-
every woman from mh made me realize i was a lesbian
@@neoagent3 SAMEE (Except, I’m Trixic.)
The best part of any media that involves Frankenstein is when they make sure to point out that Victor is the scientist, bonus points if they make sure to remember he is still *Monstrously* unethical
I think a huge reason as to why people love monster high so much was bc they actually taught you things about society and the characters were so uncommon and unique that it was hard not to fall in love with the characters.
Honestly watched the new movies and they weren't that bad. However Ghoulia wasn't in it therefore I despise it 😌
1:33
Valentine is actually an emotional vampire, he feeds on emotions.
The reboot sucked the soul out of the franchise and only gave you a sliver of our beloved characters in return.
I loved these as a kid. I feel old now
The reboot was honestly so difficult for me to watch, especially the whole thing between Clawdeen’s Mom and Dracula since I’m so used to Draculaura and Clawd being a canon couple
Don’t remind me, the massacred my boy
5:39 I thought I was the only one who thought so as well
True one of my monster high crushes growin up haha
I love that this series isn't even trying to be for the kids anymore, Mattel know the monster high target audience is growing up now, and so are their characters (while remaining PG-13 of course)
Except most of the movies theyre basing their new wave off of are rated r horror films.
You dont even *know* the flashbacks you brought back, this was my emo phase before I had an emo phase
13 Wishes is one of my favorite Monster High movies. It gets dark as fuck. Howleen basically traps her friends in the lamp, replaces them with shadow versions of them, gains a fucking cult, Lagoona goes insane there’s no sugarcoating that, and then Whisp is given the opportunity to grant wishes and is still trapped in the lamp, but now she actually has NO ONE with her. She is all alone. All she wanted was a friend.
Also Twyla is best girl.
3:01 that's my review! Wasn't expecting to see it in a compilation like this!
Great video!!
Thank you! And thanks for your review!!
8:44
why did it take just now for me to realize that they didn't just make ghoulia a bitch and that is an entirely different character with a partially similar name-
I didn't realize they made more after 13 Wishes.
Sadly, these movies weren't something I grew up with but me and my sister love watching them now. These, the Tinkerbell films and the classic Barbie films are my guilty pleasures. I actually have a ton of monster high dolls just sitting in a bag waiting to be taken apart and customised lol.
6:38 I CANT BELEIVE THEY MISSED THE CHANCE TO SAY "Terrorific" LIKE WTF "mOnStErIfIc" DUDE YOU MISSED A GREAT OPPERTUNITY THERE!!
I once saw a comment that said "Draculaura has two hands: one for Clawdeen Wolf, and the other for Kiyomi Haunterly" and I couldn't agree more.
7:35 wait, we didnt know this already?? deuce is literally a gorgon
By the time I am writing this, it is October 1st, which is Twyla’s confirmed birthday.
So, happy birthday Twyla!! :D
Frankie's sad hallway montages felt like the deepest thing ever when I was little 💀
4:35 I feel the need to tell everyone that *Gill*ary Clinton is a canon character in the books
2:21 Frankie is 0.432 seconds away from asking for skull shores manager
1:42 it's actually canon that the creator wanted valentine to be gay but Mattel didn't want it in the movie
0:38 I read the books and it was Way heavy handed in the allegory department. It was a lot more serious than the movies were (probably for toy/kid show purposes but you know), and I think it’d be interesting to see an adaption closer to the books
5:43

7:37 Also, the Greek gods were confirmed on the first 3d movie with Cupid
At last, a channel that covers oddly deep kids content covers monster high... I've now found...
i n n e r p e a c e . . .
4:59 I need a Heathers and Monster High crossover _right now_ !
4:30 since my name ends with an "la" I got that part done
4:08 I have the 3DS game of this that follows the bad end. I have no clue how to save, and I have no clue how to load my save file consistently, and I have not passed the first section yet, BUT I also haven't played it in a while, so I might've just been bad at video games. Both the movie and the game are p cool though. I also have some monster high dolls hidden away in my doll box. I never like consistently watched the show, I just enjoyed the movies that I saw. Either Frankie or Draculaura was my favorite, since I still have my Draculaura plush, but also I was a sucker for protagonists back then so

Is the coming out part in it
@@dulilah5849 no but he develops a crush on a cute witch boy named Spelldon it's so cute

2:12 I’m glad I’m not the only one who’s salty about Kipling‘s reveal like the man wore a literal potato sack with eyeholes and yet the only thing “wrong” with him is that he has elephant ears. I will admit I appreciate Mattel giving him a bigger body type but I was expecting him to have like a hunchback of Norte dame face. I would have loved it if he was a Cynocephali, which is a dog-headed humanoid. I would specially give him the head of a St. Bernard because 1 it would fit with his whole gentle giant personality and 2 give him a legit reason to wear a potato sack. Ironically, Escape from Skull Shores is one of my favorite mh movies.
Am I the only one who remembers those weird asf “bloopers” at the end of the “Flights, Camera, Action!” Movie?
2:29 My mom asked if they were talking about Holt from Brooklyn 99 😭
I remember when monster high first came out. I was instantly in love because Dracula was pink and a vampire, but my mother was a little on the fence because the dolls were monsters and the commercials seemed kinda "scary". Luckily I was able to convince her to watch one of the MH movies with me and my English Major mother was instantly won over by the clever monster puns that saturated the movie.
I blame the Monster High Franchise for my fascination with monsters and the supernatural-
I have like 2 actual human OCs- help- please
I blame Yo-Kai Watch for that reason for me
I feel like I’m incapable of making human ocs unless it’s like the human form of a creature
And I tend to make most of my characters creatures
One thing I am disappointed that the Hauntlywood movie didn’t take advantage of is the perfect monster pun of a “limb-osine” or “limb-o.” It was literally right there and the ghouls were seen getting out of one so why did no one use that pun?
5:51 Monster High isn’t just for monsters, it’s a school for all species to come together and accept one another.
“why did they take away literally all the fun stuff and make them all so… *smooth”*
please i can’t breathe anymore 💀 my lungs have been desecrated 😭😭
I remember loving the 3d movies when I was younger. Then I got older, cringed at them. Now I'm trying to go against cringe culture, and remember how much fun I had watching these.
I'll admit I wasn't a big fan of the monster high dolls since I was more of an Ever After High kind of person and preferred it more, but man did I love watching the Monster High movies when I was younger. Cancelling EAH and rebooting MH was Mattel's biggest mistake.
(Also the fact that Neighthon has the same VA as Kaeya I-)

Came here to cleanse my pallete after watching the live-action trailer
I think I, a person approaching their mid-twenties, watched "Welcome to Monster High" sometime last year and I was shakened. I then went on a research spree about the rebranding of the franchise and it's a neverending shame.
