Sound the alarms!
Halloween is fast approaching.
Yes, Halloween.
The one night each year the human
menace sets out on a single mission,
to capture and torment
monsters of all kinds!
Led by their vicious, monster-hunting
hero, Van Hellscream,
expert in the fine art
of monster misery.
Monsters everywhere are
asking one simple question,
"Are you prepared ?"
- Whoa!
- Boo, indeed!
Oh. my ghoul!
Guys, are you watching this?
They will take over
all of your fun places to go to!
These people know no bounds!
They will kick
your piles of leaves!
They are vicious,
vicious people!
And they don't
care who knows it.
Guys!
A-hem!
Meet Joe Normie.
Pleasant, hardworking, man of the
people nearly every day of the year.
Except one.
Halloween! The night he and a thousand
of his closest normie friends
turn into a crazed
monster-hunting goon squad!
Run for the hills, everyone!
This can't be right!
They will do anything and everything
to make your lives miserable!
Wait, what about
"Trick or treat"?
Glad you asked!
What?
Don't fall for any of
their tricks or treats!
They are traps designed to lure you out
of hiding so they can haul you away!
No, Abbey! Look!
Frankie Stein.
This is your first Halloween.
I advise you to pay
particularly close attention.
Lock your doors
and stay inside!
If you are unlucky enough
to find yourself outside,
do anything to avoid
being discovered!
It's those monsters that attempt
to stand up and fightback
who are the most at risk!
Don't let this happen to you!
Mr. Rotter, this film
can't be right!
I mean, monsters forced to run and hide?
Normies coming to get us?
That is the unfortunate
history of Halloween!
Mr. Rotter, dude...
I mean, sir dude.
You make us watch that
boring old film every year,
and every year
nothing happens.
Deuce, dude.
May I remind you
of the old saying.
"Those of you who forget
the lessons of history
"will be doomed
to repeat them!"
I repeated history once.
But that was 'cause
I accidentally b*rned my book.
Whoa!
Students!
I assure you this is
no laughing matter.
Halloween is only days away!
But my magazine said this is a fun
time with costumes and candy and...
Frankie, these normie magazines
are jammed full of lies. See?
"Nottie to Hottie
in four easy steps!"
Please! You're either born
with it or you're not.
Even though the normies may
seem like they can be trusted,
all rules go out
the window on Halloween!
Who knows what they
might be capable of?
Not so fast!
We will continue this
discussion tomorrow.
Watch it, normie!
I'm part monster, too, Manny.
See?
Finally!
Woo! Sweet music, thank you!
I been trapped in that nerdy
normie for way too long!
Oh, man, battery's low!
I better rock this
school while I can!
Yeah!
Oh, Clawdeen,
I'm totes excited!
Yeah!
Our double date
is tonight!
My cousin Thad is
dying to meet you!
Well, not literally,
he's immortal...
Gee! A double date with you, my
brother and some guy I've never met.
How could
a ghoul pass that up?
Oh, come on, don't be so stubborn.
It might be fun!
Hey, ghouls, um...
What do you know
about Halloween?
Oh, no.
Did Mr. Rotter show that
ridiculous old film again?
I'm so confused. I don't
know what to believe.
Trust me, ghoulfriend. You
got nothing to worry about.
Right, Draculaura?
Well, I can only speak from
personal experience, but...
Normies were the whole reason my family
fled my old village to come here.
All it takes is one
little misunderstanding,
and before you know it,
out come the pitchforks and torches
and bags and chains and...
How is that helping?
Sorry.
On the plus side, I never would've met
any of you if we hadn't moved here.
Tell you what, Frankie.
On Halloween, we can all have a
slumber party at my house, 'kay?
We'll all be safe
and sound together.
You can all tell
scary normie stories.
Like the one about the farmer
who steals the souls of...
A ball! I got it!
Come on,
you don't really believe
all that stuff
about normies, do you?
Uh, yeah, I do.
Deuce, my mummy...
My daddy taught me
a long time ago
that they are
not to be trusted.
Your dad says
lots of stuff, Cleo.
Doesn't mean it's true.
Don't let them scare you, Frankie.
Halloween is really no biggie.
Ghouls!
Breaking news! It's epic!
Not now, Spectra.
But, look!
Ugh!
What chaos!
What a story!
Whoa!
Check it out!
Oh. my Ra!
What is going on here,
I demand to...
No!
There's more where that came
from, you monster freaks!
This is gonna be the worst
Halloween of your lives!
Oh, my ghoul! Oh, my ghoul!
Oh, my ghoul! Oh, my ghoul!
Sorry I'm late.
What did I miss?
The normies! They att*ck us
in the broad of daylight!
They did? Oh, that
really grinds my gears!
It's not like
it's surprising.
They're wrecking our school just like
they're wrecking the environment!
You don't think that stuff from the
old film is coming true, do you?
Oh, Gil, don't be such a 'fraidy catfish.
It was one little prank.
I'd like to see
'em try it again.
They're just lucky I'm not
allowed to chase cars anymore.
What they did was sneaky, mean,
conniving and underhanded.
I have to say, I admire it!
We should
totally get them back.
That's the first thing you've
ever said that I agree with!
Attention students. I know you're
all a little on edge right now,
but as your headmistress, I
must urge you not to retaliate.
We can't afford to ignite any
old tensions between us.
Especially this close
to Halloween!
I guess Cleo was right.
My magazine was lying.
Maybe you just can't trust
normies on Halloween.
Watch out!
My bad!
I'm in such a hurry!
I'm working on
a spooktacular story!
What are all these?
I got them from
the old library
in the catacombs
beneath the school.
It's all about
the history of Halloween.
I'm hoping to find something
juicy to drive up my web-hits.
Something like this?
What is it?
Is map of catacombs.
Secret room.
A place called...
The Hall of Halloween.
Ghouls, I spend a lot of time in the
catacombs and I ain't never heard of it.
Operetta,
please help us.
You're the only one who knows
their way around this place!
I need to know the real story
about this awful day.
Well, I suppose it don't
hurt nothin' to look.
But don't get
your hopes up, sweet pea.
Ooh! I'm just sparking at the bolts
to find out what's down here!
Maybe we go single file.
Bit of a tight squeeze.
What took you so long?
I'm sorry, darlin'. There is
no way there's anything in
here.
Whoa!
C'mon, ghouls!
Let's check it out!
These things are
older than I am!
I don't get it.
All this kinda makes
Halloween look fun!
Welcome to
the Hall of Hallo ween!
An interactive tour through one
of the world's greatest holidays.
Hallo ween
was originally created
to honor and praise all of
the monsters of the world!
I knew we had it all wrong!
It started as a way
for the humans to give thanks
to their monster brothers and
sisters for years of friendship.
Every October 31st,
the monsters would put on their
finest and most over-the-top fashions
in preparation for
a night of celebration!
Oh! Beautiful!
While the monsters got ready,
the humans would put on elaborate
costumes, makeup and masks
as a tribute
to the monsters.
After they were
all dressed up,
they would go door to door performing
tricks and handing out treats.
Candy anyone?
Abbey, that's, like,
super old.
Candy, like cheese from yak,
is better with age. Mmm!
And super delicious!
They would even carve pumpkins with the
faces of their favorite monsters on them.
All this to celebrate their
wonderful and unique friends.
This is, like,
the coolest holiday ever!
At the end of the day,
monsters and humans would gather
in the center of the town
for the biggest party
of the year!
Whoa!
The humans in their costumes and the
monsters in their outrageous apparel
danced the night away,
vowing to do this
every year.
Ooh! Look at me,
y'all!
Check us out, ghouls!
Absolutely amazing!
We look voltageous
in these!
And that is the story
of Halloween.
Come on! We've gotta tell
everyone about this!
Guys! Guys! Guys!
We have to tell you
something huge!
Not now, Frankie.
The normies came back!
That's the best they can do?
Hey! Whoa!
Hey, up there! Uh-oh.
Whoa! Look out!
Whoa.
Thanks, Abbey.
Do not mention it.
Again?
Those clothes-ruining animals!
Hey!
Heath just got
saved by a girl!
Attention, students,
attention!
Will everyone please go to the Clawditorium
in five minutes for an emergency assembly.
Come on, come on, baby, don't
go out on me like this!
I need my tunes to be me!
No! No! No!
Jackson! Slow down!
Oh, sorry. I need to
charge my iCoffin!
It's not safe to be a...
Uh... Me right now.
Settle down, please.
It is now clear that the situation
with the normies in the next town
has become much worse.
Until Halloween is over,
when you are
outside of Monster High,
please disguise yourselves,
hide.
Do not let anyone
know you are a monster.
Wait! Hide who we are?
Headmistress Bloodgood,
this goes against everything we've
ever been taught at Monster High.
We shouldn't be embarrassed
of our differences.
We should be proud!
She's right!
And we used to be proud!
Look! No one knows this, but
Halloween used to be for monsters.
We were celebrated and admired,
not chased and ridiculed.
So I say it's time we stop being
afraid and take back our holiday!
For all monsters!
Let's take back Halloween!
By force!
Yeah, we're with you!
No, I didn't mean...
Guys? Guys?
Come on! This way!
What have I done?
Needless to say, everyone's got
their bandages in a bunch.
I mean, who do those
normies think they are?
And what, may I inquire,
are you going to do
about it, young lady?
Well, there's talk
of getting them back.
Talk?
Oh, Cleo.
Talk is like
the desert sands.
It is worth nothing, and changes
direction with the four winds.
That's so true, Daddy!
Of course,
if I were still in school,
I wouldn't let them
get away with it.
But we can't all be me.
Ugh.
Cleo.
You're a de Nile.
You have royal blood
coursing through your veins.
I was a Pharaoh, as was my father,
as was his father before...
What he's trying to say is when are
you going to start growing up?
What's that
supposed to mean?
Uh, like, for instance,
when are you gonna dump
that loser of a boyfriend?
Deuce is not a loser!
Daddy says he's a slacker!
I say he needs a haircut and he says
"dude," like, every other word!
Girls, please!
Nefera's correct.
You belong with someone
from royal lines,
someone who doesn't
hold you back.
Goodbye, you don't
want to be late for class.
Cleo.
When times are tough,
monsters need a leader.
Can you be that leader?
Can you make me proud?
Are you sure
she's not adopted, Daddy?
Nefera!
Dude!
Dude! Dude!
Dude! Dude! Babe!
Yo, Cleo! What's goin' on?
Deuce!
Not now!
Ghoulia, are you wasting your
brain on homework again?
Ugh.
It's time you used it for
something important. Helping me!
Huh?
Show me how to send a
mass text on my iCoffin.
Uh...
Yes, again.
Whoa! It is on!
Hey, what happened last night?
You missed our double date!
Thad was so disappointed!
Um...I was, uh...
I was just too upset over what the
normies did to go out on a date.
Mmm-hmm.
So, then you won't mind if I re-skedge?
How's next Friday?
Oh...
I think I'm probably gonna
still be upset on Friday.
Whoa, oh, look at the time!
I'm gonna be late. See ya!
She's always flaking out
on our double dates.
Clawdeen's never
been on a date!
I'll just see
what I can do about that.
Heath to the rescue!
Ever think that Heath may be one
yak burger short of barbecue?
I betcha I know
what's eatin' 'im.
Please do tell.
When you saved
his flame earlier,
I think it embarrassed him
in front of his mates.
Because I am girl?
This makes no sense!
In my village, girls do everything
boys do, only do not smell so bad.
Well,
you know how boys are.
Sometimes their egos can be as
fragile as a kookaburra egg.
I cannot wait until I am here long
enough to understand these boys.
I'm pretty sure you could
spend your whole life here
and not understand
boys any better.
Guys, I'm really worried.
My speech yesterday
totally backfired.
And now I'm afraid
some of the students
are going to do
something crazy.
Why do you say that?
I dunno. It just feels like everybody's
acting all strange and secretive.
Hmm. Personally, had not noticed
anything out of ordinary.
What?
Oh! I got something
on my face?
Did I get it?
No.
I don't understand.
What are you...
Oh!
The signal for
the secret meeting!
Shh!
Right. On the DL.
Gotcha, brah.
See you there, dude.
Ow.
Yep.
Everything looks same to me.
Let's go see
what they're up to.
...and you're all just going to
sit here, sniveling and afraid,
after they disrespected you
like that?
No way!
Over my un-dead body!
They think they are
so much better than we are!
Exactly!
That's why we've got
to get them back.
And it's got to be something
so epic, so legendary,
so de Nile,
that they'll put us
in the monster history books!
Yeah!
Let's get 'em!
- Let's go!
- Cleo's right!
We gotta fight fire
with fire!
Hey! I know
a sublimely shrouded entrance
to New Salem
through the catacombs.
Sweet!
They'll never see us coming.
Man, they really barked up the
wrong tree messin' with us!
Yeah, let's show
those normies
what happens when you
mess with Monster High!
Aren't you forgetting?
You're half normie!
Believe me, I can't go a day
without somebody reminding me.
But this
is my school, too.
And if we're getting
'em back, I want in.
Nice try, Jackson.
Can't trust a normie
to pay back the normies!
Holt can come, but not you!
You wanna bring Holt
instead of me?
But that guy is
totally unreliable!
And kinda obnoxious.
You heard me.
It's Holt, or bolt.
Holt!
Holt! Holt! Holt! Holt!
Holt! Holt! Holt! Holt!
Here. Just do it.
Okay.
All right, all right,
all right! Yeah!
Enough talk.
Talk is cheap, not unlike
Toralei's earrings!
Hey!
To the catacombs!
Let's do this!
All right, Cleo!
Whoa. Cleo is really taking
this, like, crazy personal.
Yeah, she doesn't even
believe any of that junk.
That's her dad
and Nefera talking.
Well, she's got
everybody else believing it.
We better follow them, make sure
they don't do anything crazy.
Mazes. I hate mazes.
What was that?
Holy smokes, this is gonna
be horrifyingly awesome!
I brought this rotten gargoyle
egg to chuck at their school.
Sometimes, I am so rad,
it boggles the mind.
Hey, hey, hey!
Careful with that, bro!
Those things pack
a serious stench!
Dude, give me a little credit.
I'm not gonna...
Come on, let's get a move on.
I got it! I got it,
I got it, I got it! I...
Wait.
I lost it.
Oh, man!
Disgusting!
Come on, I wanna get
those normies back
while we're
still in high school.
Easy, Holt,
we'll get there soon enough.
Man, I can't wait!
I'm going up ahead.
You slowpokes catch up!
Jackson's right about that guy.
Super unreliable.
And kinda obnoxious.
It's this way. It will take us right
next to the normie high school.
Come on, this way!
Ugh.
What is that smell?
Shh.
We made it! We're outside
the normie high school!
Fang on a second!
Somebody b*at us to it!
Hot dang!
They sure did
a Heath of a job!
That's better than
we were gonna do!
All right, monsters, freeze!
Stay right where you are.
They think we did this?
What do we do?
I got an idea. Run!
Hey! Come back here!
Oh, no! I knew something like
this was going to happen.
Me and my stupid speech.
We better see
if we can help them.
All right, scour this place until you find 'em!
I want no stone unturned!
Not literally,
you buncha knuckleheadsl
Now go get those monsters!
Go, go, go!
China shop?
Shh.
Deuce? Frankie?
What are you doing here?
We came to try and stop you
from doing something crazy.
Ugh!
I guess we were
too late for that.
Hey, dude, we didn't
do that to the school!
Somebody did it
before we got there.
Yeah, we saw. But if you
didn't do it, who did?
You don't think
it was Holt, do ya?
No way!
Not Holt!
Does not matter.
They thinking we did this!
We must get out of here before police
come and throw their books at us.
Abbey's right.
There's a drain that leads back to the
catacombs about two blocks from here.
If we stay out of sight,
I think we can make it.
Hey!
What are you doing out here?
'Cause the party is in here!
Well,
what are you waiting for?
Come on in!
Welcome to the party!
Police will not
look for us at party.
Oh!
Okay!
Sure!
Okay.
Why not?
Mmm.
You asked for it!
k*ller costumes, guys!
Those are so lifelike.
Cool!
Wow!
Is nice!
Cool!
Uh, ghouls, what
exactly is going on here?
Check it out!
Oh. my Ra!
What kind of house
of horrors is this?
Ghosts and skeletons strung
up on the wall like trophies?
My father was so right
about these people.
Chill, Cleo, they're candy.
Just decoration.
Like in the Hall of Halloween!
Not as good as old stuff,
but not bad, neither.
They're clearly celebrating
attacking our school.
This is the perfect opportunity
to get back at the normies!
Punch?
Is that a thr*at?
Oh, you mean...
Yeah.
Real tough, Clawd!
Come on, Manny!
Let's go get even.
Whoa, sick costumes!
You guys must
really love Halloween.
Yeah, totally. What...
Creature... Person doesn't?
I don't even recognize you.
Um, that's 'cause we're...
Exchange students!
Yeah, that's it.
We from totally
different world.
Yeah! How come you're
not dressed up? Uh...
Clair. And this kinda stuff
isn't really my thing.
I'm only here 'cause my
friend Chad made me come.
Ugh. And if I'm gonna
be forced to be here,
I'm going to at
least change the music.
These people have no taste.
That was too close.
We have to get out of here.
Come on, Clair seemed nice.
That's how they fool you.
Yeah! If I was her,
I'd do the same thing.
Lure you in with kindness,
then pounce!
Don't forget
what they did to us.
And what we came here to do.
Revenge!
One of us already
did that, remember?
Yo, you guys just
gonna stand there?
Come on, it's a party!
Let's dance!
Hmm. Normies.
See? You should tell your dad that
they aren't so bad after all.
Attention, uh, everyone.
Hey, it's those guys
that trashed our school!
Now presenting, the most famous
monster hunter of all time...
Tis I, Lilith Van Hellscream!
Van Hellscream?
Behold my magnificence!
Nice costume, Lilith!
I can't believe her sometimes.
Halloween is my
favorite time of year!
And just like my famous monster-hunting
uncle, I'm on the prowl,
searching high and low for those
vile, disgusting creatures!
Vile and disgusting? Take a
look in the mirror, sister.
Oh...
It appears I've struck gold!
Just look at all of you.
So many potential victims!
Are you a monster?
Or maybe you?
Or maybe you!
It's time we got back to the
true meaning of Halloween!
Catching monsters!
Careful, those very spicy.
Ha! I think I can
handle a little heat!
He's a real monster!
Not a costume!
Oh, no!
Excuse me.
Look out!
AW, no!
A-ha! Monsters! I knew it!
You know you're not supposed
to be on our side of town.
What are you freaks up to?
Nothing!
You started it!
And we're gonna finish it!
Oh, yeah? Really?
Come on! Go for it!
Stop! Everyone stop!
Lilith, so they're monsters, big deal.
They weren't hurting anyone.
Not yet.
But they will!
Everybody, chill.
This party was, like, super lame
before the monsters showed up.
You shouldn't be afraid of them.
You should thank them!
I mean, Lilith keeps saying
how terrible they are,
but, like, when was the last time
one of them did anything bad to us?
Gotcha, you dirty monster!
Hold still!
Get your normie
hands off of me!
You got the wrong dude,
dudes!
Looks like they got the guy
who vandalized our school!
I was framed, yo!
Yeah, right, sure!
Then what's all this?
Holt?
Hey don't you worry
about me, Frankie Fine.
These dudes? They've got
it all wrong, yeah!
Sheriff! There's more
evil monsters over here!
Run!
Don't worry, I'll protect...
You're welcome.
Frankie Fine!
Don't leave me!
You got the wrong dude, dudes!
I was framed, yo!
Come on, let me out of here!
You will never keep me
in here, chumps!
No jail can hold Holt Hyde!
Let me hear you say,
"Holt!"
"Holt."
I say "Holt, Holt!"
Holt, Holt.
I say, "Holt..."
Hey, hey, hey.
Knock it off in here!
Wait a minute.
Are those headphones?
Gimme.
You're in a whole
lotta trouble, son.
This is serious business.
Ah! Oh! A spider!
Murphy! Murphy! Murphy!
Murphy!
What am I going to do with you?
What were you thinking?
Defacing the normie school
like that...
But Miss Bloodgood,
we didn't...
Hush, Frankie!
Don't make things
any worse for yourselves.
But...
Shh! Ah! Shush!
Such foolish endeavors.
You've set monster-normie
relations back a hundred years.
And now,
this close to Halloween,
you're lucky all
you're getting is detention.
What are you doing in here?
What happened to the blue guy?
You mean that loud, rude,
crude, jerky monster
with terrible taste in music?
That's the one.
I was... Well I was
minding my own business,
and he grabbed me
and he threw me in here!
But how did he
get out of the cell?
It all happened so fast,
I didn't see?
But don't monsters
have powers and stuff?
I mean maybe his
was unlocking doors...
Oh, that fiendish fiend.
Murphy!
Our prisoner has escaped! Nobody
rests until we find our man...
Uh, oh, monster.
Yes, sir, Sheriff.
I'm gonna run this nice
young man, back to school.
I beg your pardon?
That's where the blue boy
grabbed you from, right?
I mean, you weren't
cutting class, were you?
No. Nope. School. That's
where I was, in school.
Studying. Big test. Big test.
All right!
Welcome to detention!
Here are the rules!
No talking, laughing,
smiling or breathing!
Well, okay, maybe
a little bit of breathing.
And no gum!
Way to go, Frankie.
"Take back Halloween!
Monsters deserve better!"
I made a total mess of things.
Gotta hand it
to our boy, Holt.
He really took it
to the normies.
You guys don't really think it
was Holt that did it, do you?
I hope it was. It's nice to finally see
a monster standing up to the normies.
Deuce, I'm sorry.
Aw, hey, listen, we all...
I'm sorry you can't sit next to
your new best friend, Frankie!
Best friend?
Where'd that come from?
Look at you two, hanging out,
taking little trips to New Salem.
Ugh! Excuse me for helping
her try and save you
from getting busted.
Fang-up job, there.
Oh!
Daddy!
Nefera.
My daughter,
we heard what happened.
Oh, Daddy, I can't believe
how those normies treated me!
Us.
Yeah, bunch of bullies.
They made me run!
Me! De Niles do not run.
I heard they put you in detention!
Kinda makes my day.
There's nothing wrong with
getting into a little trouble
for something
you believe in.
Too bad she doesn't
really believe it.
Is that Deuce?
Cleo, take
me off speakerphone.
Okay!
Yes, Daddy. I know.
But... But he's always
been there for me.
Stay out of it, Nefera!
Yes, Daddy.
Okay.
I will.
Deuce, I need to be with
someone who supports me.
Support you?
Whoa, I do support you. I always have.
I just don't agree with...
And if you can't support me,
we can't be together.
Wait, hold up.
Are you breaking up with me?
Yes.
Is this you talking
or your family?
Me.
All right, cool.
Fine by me.
You know,
if we weren't in detention,
I would totally
storm off right now.
What did I say about talking?
Okay, this is bad.
Everyone's gonna know
I don't belong here.
Wait. Nobody's noticing me.
But how can that be?
Don't they know I'm a
They don't notice because I
look just like them. Wow!
No dirty looks.
Could it be a place
where I finally fit in?
Oh, this is so awesome!
I can't believe
nobody's picking on...
l thought so.
Yeah. Still got
that new kid smell.
What should we do to him first?
Wedgie?
Excuse me. If you guys need a
few moments to discuss this,
I'd be glad to
come back later.
Huh. If it isn't Tweedle Dumb
and Tweedle Dumber.
Zip it, Clair.
Oh!
I wonder who could be
texting me right now.
Whoa! The Chess Club gets
to use the gym after school,
and the wrestlers
have to practice outside.
What? NO Way!
No way!
Way.
No way nerds are kicking
us out of the gym.
Way.
We better
talk to coach!
Come on!
Child's play.
Thanks.
You really saved my hide.
No sweat.
Messing with those g*ons is
always the highlight of my day.
I'm Clair.
Jackson.
Oh.
Hello, Clair.
Lilith.
You know, new kid,
just because you're new,
doesn't mean you don't
have to be vigilant.
Keep your eyes peeled
for this monster.
He broke out ofjail, and is
considered very dangerous.
He's kinda cute.
Ew!
Ew!
You must be joking.
You and the blue kid
have the same piercing.
What are you,
a monster too?
That's funny!
Me, a monster?
Oh, you slay me!
Hey, I got your text
what's going...
Speed dating?
Draculaura!
Oh, please don't
be angry with me!
Why'd you do this?
Because I knew
you just needed a nudge!
Come on,
I know it's different,
but just give it a sh*t.
What have you got to lose?
Hmm. Let's see.
My dignity, my patience,
my temper
You see, already with the bad attitude,
and we haven't even started!
I am not doing this!
You are freaking me out,
enough with the winking!
No offense, but I like a boy
with a little meat on his bones.
Too small.
Too slow.
Too many fang-ups.
We're done here.
Wait!
Why are you so stubborn?
Stop! I don't wanna
talk to you right now!
So, then Mr. Nelson says,
"You can't bring that thing in
here, it hasn't been housebroken."
Hey, Clair, Chad, everybody...
Look, I just wanted to thank you.
For what?
Well, when I got here, I didn't
really know what to expect.
But you guys have really
made me feel like I belong.
And, well, that's just
kind of new for me.
Oh, gag, dude, if you ever
get mushy like that again,
I'll give you
a mega wedgie myself.
Oh, no.
No need to thank us.
Hey, do you like
Toxic Crimson Dancer?
Duh, they're like
my favorite band.
Sweet.
I just downloaded
their new single.
Check it! It doesn't even drop...
Oh, no.
Hey! What's the deal?
Jackson,
what's your damage, dude?
I am so sorry. Oh, man, it's
like, I just have this...
Well, I have this condition.
Yeah, a condition! And
it's called jeckllingtons.
And every so often, I'll
just, you know, flare up...
Like, for no reason.
And, I mean, it gets
really bad sometimes.
There is no cure.
Oh, bro, I'm so sorry.
Attention, students!
Please welcome our Pep Band, fresh
off their victory at Regionals.
I feel another
flare-up coming.
Your little kooky
friend sure hates music.
Hmm...
Very interesting.
Sheriff. The people
are impatient.
Some say that if you don't
catch this monster criminal,
they'll take things
into their own hands.
No comment.
Hey, you didn't
sh**t that, did you?
I can't believe
it happened again!
It says in
the ghostly gossip
that the normies think Holt
is behind this one too.
Holt is so hard-core.
Jolly exciting!
He's a total monster hero.
He's treating normies like
they treat the ozone layer!
I simply can't wait
for the next post!
Imaginary Nefera here.
Look how excited
everyone is.
You know, a real de Nile would figure
out a way to make it all about her.
Attention, everyone! I just
received an email from Holt!
He wants us all to know that he is
behind all these pranks on the normies.
And that he's got even bigger
and better ones planned.
Yeah!
He's awesome!
And that he will be
communicating through me,
his spokesprincess.
His words, not mine.
Because I was his inspiration
for standing up to the normies.
He'll be updating
his Critter account
to keep you up
on his exploits.
Cleo, you rock! You tell Holt
that we're all behind him.
Yeah!
Man, I can't believe Cleo.
First she convinces everybody
to go att*ck the normies,
then she breaks up with me,
and now she's Holt's
spokesprincess.
You guys, this is bad. We
can't sit around any longer!
We've gotta stop Holt!
He's created a monster!
Whoa. Never seen
zombie move so fast.
She's uploading a program to
triangulate Holt's exact location
based on his cell phone's GPS.
Did I get that right?
There.
Oh, no.
He's in their school.
We gotta get over there and
stop him before it's too late.
I am an evil monster.
You will never
stop me, and my...
Cut! Cut! Ugh!
That was dreadful!
You,
hold the microphone higher.
You, that is the worst acting
I've ever seen in my life.
The camera makes me nervous!
One more time
from the top.
And remember, we need to
make this look believable!
Come on, guys!
Well, well, well.
What do we have here?
You see anything?
No, mate. Nothing.
I don't get it.
He should be right here.
Maybe he up to
dirty business.
That's what
I'm afraid of.
No. Mean literally. Look.
The janitor's closet!
Holt, whatever it is
you're doing, stop!
Jackson!
Hey, um, what are you
guys doing here?
We came to tell you,
Holt, to knock it off!
Your pranks are
making everyone crazy.
Hey, hey, hey, slow down.
I didn't do it!
Come on, it's all over
Holt's Critter page, mate.
I didn't make that!
Look, someone is framing me.
And you haven't turned into Holt at all?
You're sure?
Well, there have
been a couple of times.
- I couldn't help it.
- Sheriff!
Quick, they're in here!
Now I've got you!
My Monster Watch Committee saw
them when we were out on patrol.
Behold! Your monster!
You've been hiding here all along.
You're coming with me!
I didn't do it!
Ha! You'll be needing these!
Come on, let's go.
After everything
that happened,
everything we've
warned you about,
you have the raw nerve
to go back over there?
Two months in-school
detention, all of you!
And if you pull
a stunt like this again,
you will be expelled
from Monster High!
Hello?
No, I'm not.
What?
Monsters think they can just come into
our town and do whatever they want!
Well, I say, “No more!”
You got it, Sheriff!
It's time we got back to the
true meaning of this holiday!
Putting monsters
in their places!
That's why I declare
on this Halloween
that this criminal here shall be
given the worst possible punishment
for man or monster!
This isn't going to turn
out good at all, is it?
At dusk on Halloween night,
we shall all join together and haul
this creature to the top of the hill,
where he will be given
the Trick-or-Treatment!
Oh, no!
Yes.
The Trick-or-Treatment.
So horrible it hasn't been used
on a monster in 200 years!
Well, let this boy serve as
a reminder to all of them
what Hallo ween
is really about!
We have to do...
But I don't think...
Yes, I remember.
Yes.
I understand.
The Monster Elder Council
has decided to do nothing.
Holt must take
his punishment.
Attention, everyone!
The normies are going to give
Holt the Trick-or-Treatment!
Monster Elder
Council okay with normie punishment!
Why are you avoiding me?
I don't wanna
talk about it, okay?
I was only trying
to help you.
Well, maybe you need
to mind your own business.
Mind my own business?
Have you even met me?
Come on, what's wrong?
What's wrong is
my so-called friend
won't let me live my life!
I don't need to change anything, okay.
I'm perfectly happy!
Yeah, you seem thrilled.
Detention again, Miss Stein?
This is becoming quite the nasty habit!
What are we
gonna do about Holt?
What can we do?
He is hopeless.
Oi! Keep it down this is
detention not a tea party!
You heard Jackson,
someone's framing him!
How are we gonna
prove that, love?
What about Clair and Chad?
Maybe they can help.
Yeah, right, just march right into enemy
territory and strike up a conversation?
What could possibly go wrong?
It's a long sh*t at best,
and Bloodgood will throw us
out of school if we did that!
We can't let them do this!
The cycle has to end!
I said keep it down!
Ah!
I can barely hear
the violin solo.
Look, our only chance of saving him is
if we can get some normies on our side.
I don't care if it's crazy, I have to
get back over there and talk to them.
But first I need
to get out of here.
I have plan!
Abbey, I'm here to rescue you
from detention! Yikes! Uh...
I gotta go!
Just to be clear,
Heath not part of plan.
Hmm?
What?
Dude.
Oh, man,
Halloween's gonna be so sweet!
That shape-shifting
monster's gonna pay
for what he did
right, Lilith?
Oh, uh, yeah!
That'll show them,
and stuff.
The Trick-or-Treatment?
He didn't even do it.
You know how people get
when they see a monster.
They wanna blame them
for everything.
You got a lot of nerve showing
your monster face around here.
I know.
Now, if you'll excuse me.
I need your help.
You know Jackson
didn't do this, right?
Yeah,
but who's gonna believe us?
Everyone's blind to the truth
because of Halloween.
I know, but we can't just give up.
We have to work together.
You're the only non-monsters
I can trust now.
You can go places
and talk to people we can't.
Without you,
he's as good as gone.
Come on,
you better get outta here!
Meet me in the catacombs
tomorrow morning
if you're willing to
do the right thing.
Just go through the storm
drain, you'll find it.
It's not as gross
as it sounds.
What in blue blazes?
Walking around in our school!
Okay, now I've gotcha!
Is no use. Cops everywhere.
Am not very "policed" about
the situation.
ls no time for jokes,
I get that.
And today is Halloween!
What are we gonna do?
I just know Holt didn't do it.
But we've got to be able to get
into New Salem to prove it.
But how?
That Sheriff will stone cold
lock us up for good
if we show
our monster faces up there.
But we can show ours.
Clair! Chad!
I knew you'd come!
We wanna help Jackson,
er, Holt...
I'm still kinda confused about
how this whole thing works.
Just tell us what
you need us to do.
Well, if Holt didn't do it that
means somebody set him up.
And whoever set him up doesn't
care for monsters too much.
They went to a lot of trouble
making it look like Holt did it.
If we're lucky, they didn't
cover all of their tracks.
The mother lode.
Lilith was behind the att*cks
on the normie school.
But we still don't know
who was emailing Cleo
or posting on Holt's Crypt
place, or Critter pages,
or why?
Ghoulia managed to
track the IP address
of whoever was updating
Holt's social network sites.
She traced it to an old
computer in the library
that nobody ever used.
But if someone did, it would
have been caught on camera.
We had to somehow get into
the school's security room
and check the footage.
Why would anybody use
that old hunk of junk?
Cleo?
"I know what you did this..."
"Halloween! I know it was..."
"...you and Holt
is taking the fall."
"Unless you want me
to go to the authorities,
"meet me after school at the
halfway point in the catacombs."
I should have known
I should have known
YOU were a normie.
YOU were a monster.
My father was right!
My uncle was right!
None of you can be trusted. You
think you're better than everyone.
I honestly can't think of one
redeeming quality that you have.
Although...
What?
I really like that top.
Francisco Garibaldy?
Yes! How'd you know?
I just love his line!
Me too!
I got this one on sale!
Shut up!
I bet all the other monsters at
school try and copy your look.
I bet the normie kids
are so jealous
of your style
and sophistication.
It is exhausting.
Tell me about it.
It's really kind of a...
Burden.
Burden.
Finally, someone who
understands how hard it is!
Don't you two have something
more important to talk about?
Yes, like where normies keep
all their delicious candy.
Like what you did to Holt.
Come on, we're taking
you two to the Sheriff.
You're gonna
explain everything.
I'm sorry. I didn't mean
for all this to happen.
Me either!
It just got out of hand.
I just wanted
things to go back
to the way they were
in the good old days,
like my uncle used
to tell me about,
when monsters
knew their place.
And I was tired of being treated
like a second class citizen
just because I'm a monster!
A really
well dressed monster!
Thank you, Lilith.
I tried to use Holt to inspire
monsters to stick up for themselves.
For what it's worth
I'm really sorry.
Me, too! We don't want Holt
to get the Trick-or-Treatment!
You can do
whatever you want to us.
Within reason, of course.
Natch.
But please, let Holt go.
He didn't do anything.
That was touching, girls.
I'm getting a little misty.
I'll let you in
on a little secret.
I don't
care.
Wait, what?
Don't care.
Don't care. Don't care.
Holt did it. They did it.
The bogey man did it,
doesn't matter.
Those people out there demand justice,
and I'm gonna give it to them.
YOU mean vengeance.
When I take
that boy up the hill tonight,
things can get back
to the good old days.
Just like
your uncle talked about.
Now, if you'll excuse me, I have a lot
of napping... I mean, work to do.
I'm so sorry
about your friend.
I never meant
for this to happen.
Because of something I did,
he's going to...
Okay. Um...
Awkward.
We have to do something!
We can't just leave Holt here.
We have to break him out!
HOW?
We're monsters.
We have powers.
Jealous much?
No.
If we break him out, the normies
will just come looking for him,
and it will start all over.
That won't solve anything.
Dude, we can't just give up!
L know.
I've got an idea.
It's risky.
But it may be the only way.
Trick or treat!
Nobody's home
here, neither.
But it's Halloween!
Where'd everybody go?
Okay. I get it!
This is a big prank.
Trick or treat!
Look, I'm all for
joking around, but...
Hey, this is getting
pretty ridiculous, yo.
A monster's got me!
I knew they were gonna
try something tonight.
Get over there!
Help! Monster att*ck!
Go stop that dirty monster!
Help!
Wouldn't you just know it?
The same exact thing
is happening to me,
but way over here.
Come on.
Yo, Frankie!
Don't worry, Holt,
we're gonna get
you outta here!
Worried? Who, the Holtster?
Come on, Frankie Fine.
Wait a minute. I know this guy.
He's no monster!
Now why in
the world would you...
It's a trick.
Back to your posts!
Oh, we're outta time.
Come on.
Abbey, we need to
take the escalator.
First floor, coming up.
After them.
Don't let them escape!
Attention, all units!
We've got a runner.
Shut this place down.
Uh-oh. Robecca, you're on.
Hang on!
Catacombs? After them! I'll
be down there n a minute.
Sheriff,
this is the second time
you've let this
monster get away.
We're taking things
into our own hands!
Let's go storm Monster High!
Frankie, your plan's
working perfectly.
We're almost there.
You guys ready?
We're ready here.
Ra-speed, Frankie!
Okay, this is it.
They wanted monsters, we're
gonna give them monsters.
I really hope this works.
What?
Whoo-hoo! Over here!
La, la, la, la, la!
Get him!
Come on!
Where are we?
What is this place?
Whoo!
Oh. my ghoul!
I'm so glad you came!
I was afraid you wouldn't make
it to our Halloween party.
Well, what are you
waiting for? Come on in!
Feel free to grab
some punch and mingle.
You're inviting us to a party?
Now?
Yeah. We wanted you
to see us this way,
not as some frightening
creatures you don't understand.
But here, at a party, relaxing,
having fun with our friends.
But he trashed
our whole town.
No, he didn't.
I did.
I did it because I thought
monsters were out to get us,
to take what was ours.
It's an easy mistake
to make.
A lot of monsters,
even me,
thought all normies
selfish and cruel.
Now I know that's not true.
Two days ago, I was as angry
and confused as you are.
But now that I've met them,
I see we're more alike
than we are different.
We have the same hopes.
The same fears.
The same dreams.
The same drama.
The same insecurities.
The same taste in
designer fashion.
That's why we wanted
to throw you this party.
To remind everyone what
Halloween really means.
So, please,
come on in, have fun.
Be yourself. Be unique.
Be a monster.
That's beautiful!
Hmm. Okay, yeah.
All right, yeah!
All right, the party is over.
I always wanted to say that.
You.
You've crossed me
for the last time.
Arrest every monster
in here.
Take them all away.
Well, if you're arresting all the
monsters, you can start with me.
I'm a monster.
I'm a monster.
I'm a monster.
I'm a monster.
- I'm a monster.
- I'm a monster.
I'm a monster.
I'm a monster.
I'm a monster.
How about it, Sheriff?
Are you going
to arrest us all?
Well, as Sheriff...
Well, would you look at that,
midnight on the dot. Ha!
I'm off duty.
Hey, is that cheesecake?
I can't believe we're
all dancing together.
Hey, Draculaura. Look, I'm
sorry I shut you out.
Oh, it's okay. I'm sorry
for pushing too hard.
Speed dating was the worst idea ever.
Forgivsies?
Yup. Hug it out.
But I don't understand.
Why couldn't you
talk to me about it?
Because.
I was afraid. Embarrassed.
Pretty weak, huh?
Oh, no.
Clawdeen, dating is hard under
the best of circumstances.
But being scared because
you've never done it before
is no reason
not to do something.
You're right.
I do need to be more open.
Give new things a chance.
Hey!
Who is that?
That's Thad, silly!
Whoa!
Well, I guess if normies and monsters
can party together on Halloween,
I can give it a sh*t.
You got this, ghoul.
Hi. Um, I...
You wanna dance?
Sure.
Jackson and I
don't agree on much.
But I gotta admit the boy's
got great taste in ladies.
Clair.
What happened? I mean, the
last thing I remember is...
Ah!
Heath!
You save me from Yeti.
In my country, that's how
you ask girl to dance.
I thought it would
be a good way to break the ice.
All right, Heath! Way to be!
Hey, Deuce.
Hey.
Deuce, you were right
about the normies all along.
I should have listened to you.
I just...
Wanted to please your dad?
Yes.
We're cool.
One thing I understand is
that family is complicated.
Do you think you
would consider, maybe,
taking me back?
Yeah, I think
that can be arranged.
You guys catch all that?
Cleo, take me off speaker.
Bye-bye.
Cleo! Cleo!
Way to go, Frankie.
You saved Holt,
and reversed hundreds
of years of animosity
between normies
and monsters.
Yes. Not a bad week.
You know what?
I think Halloween totally
just became my fave holiday.
Come on, let's go dance.
Whoo-hoo!
And that
is the story of Halloween.
