[eerie music]
[Clawdeen] So there I was.
Uh, no, not there,
there,
spending my 15th birthday in a library,
doing my favorite thing, researching monsters.
[gasps] Whoa!
Just learned a cool thing about monsters.
-[chuckles] -[girls snickering]
Maybe I don't have friends,
but at least I have my dog, Crescent.
-[barks] -This monster's an Onikuma.
If the Onikuma is threatened,
he defends himself by throwing rocks.
The only way to stop him is to tickle him.
[laughs] You don't believe monsters are real?
Ha. Well, I'll prove it.
I've been researching the cemetery,
and there have been reports of creepy house, cold spots,
and monster morning breath.
So there's got to be monsters there.
-Come on! -[whines]
Scaredy pup!
-There's my birthday girl! -Hi, Dad. You're early.
One minor lab explosion,
-and we had to wrap our research for the day. -[gasps]
Where are you off to in such a rush?
Birthday plans with your friends?
Yeah, friends.
-Bye. -Clawdeen, wait.
What's a birthday without presents?
[gasps] The moon claw necklace?
But it's Mom's.
She left it behind for a reason,
and I still believe she's coming home for it one day,
but until then, you can hold on to it for her.
So a used gift that I get to borrow temporarily,
and then to think all those unlucky kids
getting guitars and laptops for their birthdays.
I knew you'd like this better,
so I sent back that pony.
It says something.
"Trust your instincts."
That was your mom's motto.
She knew how to trust her instincts.
Weird thing was, her instincts always said
it was my turn to do the dishes.
Thanks, Dad.
I love it.
Okay, run along.
And close the gate so Crescent can't get out.
And call if you'll be late for dinner.
And, uh, trust your instincts!
Where are you, monsters?
Ghosts?
Werewolves? Vampires? Anyone?
[unseen person] Hank.
Talking statue monster?
Hank, we call to you beyond the veil.
Answer us, Hank.
A séance, huh? Ugh!
-Watch it, monster girl. -Oh, uh, sorry.
-I just-I-- -You ruined our séance, creeper.
Mm, Hank says to leave him alone.
Ah, back to work, looking for a monster.
I couldn't have real friends
because I had to hide things that were real to me.
Like, my whole life, there's been this voice.
[voices whispering]
-[whispering] -[disembodied voice] Clawdeen, the woods.
[necklace chimes]
Okay, that's new.
Is that my instincts?
[voice whispering] Go into the woods.
The first time I can understand you,
and you want me to go into the creepy woods?
-I don't know. -[teens snickering]
Monster girl's talking to herself.
Yep, you're right.
Let's get creepy.
[steady pop music]
[voice whispering] This way.

[groaning]
Huh?
Whoa.
Hello, haunted.
Uh- [clears throat] Sup?
[creature growls softly]
Whoa.
A hidden world?
Look at this.
Huh, so spooky cool.
[creature growls softly]
[grunting]
Huh.
Hmm?
Huh? Whoa.
[gasps]
[screaming]
You're-- you're real, and really a ghost!
Yeah!
A nose boop and not even,
like, a tiny flinch?
[groans] I'm going to fail Hauntonomics,
and then my Ghoulma will take away my iCoffin.
Boo.
I'm not a flincher, but--
Hey, wait! I have so many questions!
Like, uh, is this a haunted house?
Ugh!
[growling] Stay away from Monster High, intruder!
Monster High? A high school for monsters?
Yes, scary, terrifying monsters!
Like a little growl's going to keep me
from exploring a place where monsters are real
and everything I believe can be proven?
Aah!
Uh, thanks for the haircut.
-I'll be on my way. -[growls]
How do I get in there?
[sniffing]
Rainbow sprinkles?
[mysterious music]
-[growling] -[birds cawing]
[sniffing]
[grunting]
[girl] And Headmistress Bloodgood would like to remind everyone
that she's not your mummy.
So please clean up your own ectoplasm.
-[gasps] -And now, give the creepateria staff three howls
for tonight's ice cream.
[all] A-whoo, whoo, whoo!
Ice cream with rainbow sprinkles--
ha ha, nailed it.
Huh?
Eye scream.
Oh, eyes.
[monster exclaims]
Look at all those monsters.
Yeah.
[gasps]
Over here! Ah!
Yeah!
Aw.
I am so hot!
Mmm. [slurps]
[Cleo] My eye scream!
Five-second rule.
Thanks, scarabs.
I'm starving.
Gluttony, dude!
It's my honor as Student Bloody President
to introduce you to our newest monster, Frankie Stein.
Hi, Frankie. Welcome!
-I'm Frankie, Frankie Stein. -[feedback whines]
I'm 15 days old, and my pronouns are they/them.
I'm so excited to be here, I wrote a whole speech.
[clears throat] Monster's Dictionary
defines high school as--
Aah! Ugh!
[all gasp]
[gasps] Are you okay?
-Oh, sorry, I just--I- -Just a little shocked.
Aah!
[all gasp]
-A human! -It's okay!
Don't run away!
Ew, you got Frankie all over me, you gross human!
[hisses]
You're scared of her? Why?
Everyone, calm down!
Uh, i-it's cool.
I'm cool.
Hi. I'm Draculaura.
And no way I'd be afraid of someone who's that good
with a dramatic entrance. Frankie, Frankie Stein.
Do humans always greet monsters
by crushing them with their butts?
But now I'm going to fit in
because my instincts led me to a school for monsters.
So sign me up.
Clawdeen Wolf.
Or Wolf, comma, Clawdeen, if that's how you roll.
I'm down with whatevs.
Aah!
I will not "sign you up."
-[gasps] -[clears throat]
My eyes are down here, Ms. Wolf.
As I was saying, Monster High does not admit your kind.
Now, back to your human town.
But I can't just leave and forget about this.
That's exactly what you'll do.
Whenever an uninvited human exits Monster High's gates,
they completely forget we exist.
Oh, that's why there was a Glaucus statue at the gate.
The Glaucus steals memories.
See, I know a lot about monsters.
So you do, but knowing about monsters
does not make one a monster.
Well, but if I went to school here,
no one would laugh at me for being into monsters.
You see, ever since I was little,
I thought monsters were totally fantastic.
What I'm trying to say is, I think that, for me,
this place could be way more than a haunted house.
It could be a haunted home.
Please, Ms. Wolf,
you cannot pun your way into a deaducation.
[laughs] Deaducation, that was a good one.
[laughs]
[clattering]
Hey, Headmistress Bloodgood,
um, think I could switch my dead languages class
for study howl?
Absolutely not.
Make her stone.
Don't you dare give me that look, Deuce.
I will not be turned into stone today.
Get your wrath under control.
[clattering]
-The exit's this way, human. -Well, hear me out.
When I was little, my mom told me monster bedtime stories.
Ooh, lend me your ear.
Like, about a beast who falls in love with a beauty,
and in the end, he stays a beast
because being a beast was what he was and how he should be loved.
-It was my absolute... -Aw, that love story is killer.
Mmm. [slurps]
Everyone said my mom's version was wrong, but I knew she was right.
That same part of me knows being here is right.
It feels like home, and--
[Draculaura] Ow! Oh, you're smushing me!
-All of you, get to your dorm! -Yes, headmistress!
I'm truly sorry that you feel out of place in your world.
Pull yourself together, Frankie.
Trying to.
But you must see that Monster High
is a boarding school for monsters.
You're obviously a human,
and humans will never belong here.
I hear you, but pretty please?
[Glawackus] Told you so.
Bye, normal human person.
Happy forgetting we exist!
[creature howling]
I can't forget.
[disembodied voice] You belong here.
[phone beeping rapidly] Hey, Dad.
I'm going to be late for dinner.
[eerie music]
Aah!
Nothing to see here, just a normal mummy.
-[grunts] -[indistinct chatter]
Roar! Mummy curse!
I want to suck your blood!
Oh, uh, wrong one.
I don't know who needs to hear this,
but knockoff mummy wraps look like toilet paper.
It's you.
You need to hear this, Toilet Paper Girl.
What? Toilet paper?
Nah, girl, these are genuine mummy wraps, okay?
No toilet paper-- [grunting] Whoa!
Ugh!
Oh...ah!
[toilet flushing]
Thanks for the TP!
The Deuce guy loves a good double ply.
Human's got guts.
-[gasps] -Hmm.
-No! [grunts] -[birds cawing]
There's got to be a costume in here
that'll make me pass as a monster.
Looks like costumes from Death of a Salesminotaur,
Midsummer's Nightmare, Werecat on a Hot Tin Roof.
[screaming]
Oh.
-Hi, again, ghost. -Ugh.
-Huh? -Hey!
[roaring]
[meows]
[Witch hat] Witches aren't monsters.
Monsters are forbidden from doing witchcraft.
Persistent, pestilent human.
Just one semester!
Ugh!
[gasps] Mom's necklace.
[sighs] Instincts stink!
[sighs] If I don't belong here, I'll never belong anywhere.
Maybe this enchantment can wipe away my weirdness
and make me a normal human with normal human friends.
Goodbye, Monster High.
Watch your step before I watch you step on me.
Here. Frankie, right?
Yep, and that's super helpful of you for a human.
I guess you're not so scary after all,
human girl who wants to be a monster.
Name's actually Clawdeen,
and it's not just that I want to be a monster.
I feel like my instincts are saying that I am a monster,
but if the headmistress won't let me go to school here,
-guess my instincts were wrong. -Or maybe not.
I'm no headmistress,
but I am the Student Bloody President,
three-time Monster Bee champion,
and daughter of Dracula, so I know a bit about monsters.
And I've been watching you.
Even if you don't look like a monster,
your determination is freaky fierce,
-and that's super monstrous. -Thanks.
That means a lot coming from a real monster like you.
Wait. Draculaura is always right.
She told me that herself.
So, if she's right,
you got to have some monster hiding in you.
If we can find it,
headmistress has to let you come to school with us.
Interesting hypothesis.
We must apply the scientific method.
My parents made me with some cerebral cortex
from a monster biologist, Dr. Snarls Darkwin.
No, don't be nice to the human.
Sorry, Snake Bros.
I know Mom Deuce has said gorgons are never nice,
but I'm a rebel.
I'm just going to be friendly and walk up to that human
and say, "Hey, you ever feel something
that feels like a feeling?"
Uh, Deuce, we're going to test if Clawdeen's a monster.
-You in? -Oh, sure.
-To the lab! -[electricity crackling]
[all gasp]
Oops. Did I do that?
[creature growling]
No brains, please.
Not a zombie, then.
Brains.
[clears throat] Do you have any of the following?
Special skills in human qualities
or birthmarks that look like famous monsters if you squint?
Hmm, well... Ooh, I'm strong.
See?
And I smell really good.
[sniffs] Mm, I don't think you smell that good.
A bit sweaty, to be honest.
I mean, I'm good at smelling.
[sniffs] I smell...
[sniffs] Creature Noir.
Frankie, that's my special wing-pit deodorant.
And I've never told anyone this before,
but I hear a voice.
Me too, like, seven of them.
What's yours hissing about?
-[voice whispering] Trouble. -[gasps] Trouble!
Bat up and monster out.
Aah!
-[all gasp] -[growling]
Be gone, bear!
Bears don't mind garlic, huh?
Oh, I knew I shouldn't have gone 100% organic
when it came to security.
[roaring]
We got to stop that bear!
[all] Whoa!
Leave it to me.
I won the Scare Fair three years in a row.
You're terrified of me and will go away.
Bonus points if you scream!
Ugh, garlic breath! A vampire's worst nightmare!
Any ideas, mini Deuce dudes?
Strong Deuce will make him stone.
That's right. I've got this.
[roaring]
Or we could take s-naps.
Sloth is right. Got to go.
Aah! I could bear-nap!
Aah!
Oh, no! Deuce!
[Deuce] Whoops. Sorry, headmistress.
[students screaming]
Ahh.
[groans]
Uh, none of my brain bits know how to stop
human-world bad things.
Clawdeen?

Ha! I knew she was a monster.

Oh, yeah, bear fight.
[grunts]
This is a no-bear zone.
There's no hunting here.
We don't even have any picnic baskets.
Plot twist! She is a monster!
[growls] I don't know which is worse--
a human or a werewolf!
[hisses]
Hey, Toralei, you're blocking my view.
It's only fair that everyone gets to watch
the werewolf-bear fight.
I've seen enough. I'm rooting for the bear.
[chuckles] That mortal went full-on monster?
-[roaring] -[grunting]
[whispering] Hank...
if you're there, give us a sign.
[all scream]
Ya!
Stop throwing rocks at me!
Wait.
Throwing rocks.
You're not a regular bear, are you?
-You're an Onikuma. -Huh?
-[roars] -That book said
you can stop an Onikuma attack by tickling it.
Unleash the tickle monster!
Tickle, tickle, tickle!
Tickle, tickle, tickle, tickle, tickle!
[both laughing]
Your monster instincts brought you here, just like me.
We'll fit in together.
[soft music]
Hmm.
Ms. Wolf, welcome to Monster High.
Yes! I get to stay with you!
-I belong here. -[cheering]
Huh?
Yes, you too, Onikuma.
Who's got two paws and knew she was a monster all along?
Me! When do classes start?
Oh, whoa, I have never been excited about school before.
I owe you an apology.
I didn't look deep enough to see the monster inside of you.
Your DNA test confirms you're 50% werewolf.
And 100% claw-some.
Whoa!
Any idea where your werewolf-ness comes from?
Uh, my dad's human.
Oh, no, my dad- he's probably freaking out.
I-I have to go.
We have siren-enchanted letters for this purpose.
-Delivery dragon. -[roars]
Your father will know that you're in boarding school,
but the enchantment will ensure he doesn't worry
or require details.
We know new monsters need time
to tell their loved ones on their terms.
[sighs] Thanks.
My dad's not the monster type,
and it's been ten years since I saw my mom.
But I think I'd remember fur and fangs.
[chuckles]
Werewolves change forms, right?
Maybe she was just rocking her human form around us.
That would explain
the instincts thing on her necklace.
Interesting.
We'll look into it.
So... we cool?
Whoa!
We are the coolest. [chuckles]
[distant scream]
That's the scream.
Now get to class.
[wind gusting]
[barking]
Crescent!
It's you again. That means Monster High.
And she found it on her first night with the moon claw?
My girl is good!
Does she like it?
Yes! I knew she would.
Uh, keep an eye on her for me while she's there, all right?
Make sure she calls every day and comes home on weekends.
Tell Bloodgood to keep her enchantments to herself.
Clawdeen will fill me in when she's ready.
[belches]
Yeah, everything's great, Dad.
My roommates, Draculaura and Frankie,
are helping me settle in.
I got to go. Snuggle Crescent for me.
-Miss you, big dog. -Miss you, too, sweetie pups.
-I'll see you soon. -Huh?
[grumbling]
-High paw, Kuma! -[laughing]
-[screams] -Spectra!
[chuckles] That was great. You're going to knock 'em dead.
Boo-ya! Watch out, Hauntonomics.
