Welcome to '''Monster High''', Mattel’s latest franchise launched in July 2010. Monster High revolves around kindhearted, clumsy teenager [[Frankenstein's Monster|Frankie Stein]], who is just starting off at a new school and itching to experience life for the first time. She makes friends quickly- there's [[Our Vampires Are Different|Draculaura]], a chatty [[Granola Girl]]; [[Our Werewolves Are Different|Clawdeen Wolf]], a wannabe fashionista; [[Fish People|Lagoona Blue]], a somewhat spacy champion swimmer; and [[Zombie Apocalypse|Ghoulia Yelps]], the smartest kid in school. There’s also [[Mummy|Cleo de Nile]], [[Rich Bitch]] and [[Royal Brat]] extraordinaire, who rules the school's in-crowd with an iron fist, and her loving but long-suffering boyfriend [[Gorgeous Gorgon|Deuce Gorgon]].
 
The dolls have been noted for their unique concept and high doll quality, including ball-jointed limbs and individual face molds for each of the characters. A series of books done by [[The Clique]] writer Lisi Harrison currently{{when}} being made, and a movie in 2012. A Halloween special aired on [[Nickelodeon]] on October 31, 2010 and can now be seen online, with another special following in 2011 and a Valentine's Day special and Spring Break special in 2012.

* [[Accidental Athlete]]: Frankie in the webtoon "Fear Squad".
Line 35 ⟶ 34:
** "Nefera Again" has Clawdeen pick up with her hearing that Toralei notices Nefera wears the hottest fashions weeks before anyone else has them. This leads to the girls assembling an ensemble of [[Impossibly Tacky Clothes]] (from what might be the [[WTH Costuming Department]]) claiming they're the latest fashion trends--but she should know this as Nefera's a famous model, right? Nefera asks they be handed over to her--and with the new outfit becomes the laughing-stock of the Maul. (As a bonus, Toralei and her [[Girl Posse]] followed suit.)
* [[Beach Episode|Beach Line]]: Gloom Beach. Oddly enough it isn't used as an excuse for fanservice, all the girls wear one piece bathing suits, with Draculaura's looking like one from the [[Roaring Twenties|1920's]]. Only Cleo wears a bikini.
** And a second one, [https://web.archive.org/web/20131110033102/http://api.ning.com/files/qJ1D25pTKi6VUHl862H20WzH-G-v6qJKbQ*Z6lIGuu5n9IIycJ5G7wv34T0Q20VWdtFz1J0*6HCXM-ExqZgLHr8N-yll55Y*/islanddolls1_480.jpg Skull Shores], has been announced for 2012.
* [[Bland-Name Product]]: Mr. Where talks about kids these days being plugged into their iCoffins all the time.
* [[Breather Episode]]: Daydream of the Dead. Prior to this we get relationship troubles, Spectra making a nuisance of herself, and a cliffhanger with Cleo's sister. This episode is an advertisement for the MH booth at San Diego Comic-Con.
Line 169 ⟶ 168:
* [[Royal Brat]]: Cleo de Nile. Egyptian heritage, folks!
* [[Saying Sound Effects Out Loud]]: In "New Ghoul @ School" Draculaura literally says "Siiigh..." while swooning over [[No Celebrities Were Harmed|Justin Biter]].
* [[SchrodingersSchrödinger's Cat]]: Alluded to in the end of "Desperate Hours," where Toralei and her fellow cat-girls are herded to a math camp in a bus. The stink balloon they wanted to loose on the seniors (and blame the main ghouls for) bounces toward them...and explodes, releasing the stench into the bus holding the cat-girls. They're not dead, but their yowling hints [[Cool and Unusual Punishment|they are wishing this wasn't happening to them...]]
* [[The Shadow Knows]]: Look carefully at a illustration on Jackson's Gloom Beach box. {{spoiler|You can see Holt Hyde's [[Flaming Hair]].}}
* [[Shout-Out]]: By the boatload.
