Monster High is a school where being a vampire, werewolf, or reanimated teenager is part of everyday life. The characters still have classes, friendships, crushes, and family expectations to deal with. Their monster traits give those familiar problems some unusual complications.
Mattel introduced the franchise in 2010, and its animated stories, films, and dolls have gone through several versions. Fans commonly call the original era G1, the 2016 reboot G2, and the 2022 relaunch G3. Familiar names return, but their histories do not always stay the same.
The 2022 animated series follows Clawdeen Wolf and friends including Draculaura, Frankie Stein, and Deuce Gorgon. The live-action musical released that year offers its own version of their school. Neither needs to be treated as the next episode after the older animated films.
