[eerie music]
[screams]
Ugh, screamed corn casserole again.
Ah!
[screams]
Whoa, Draculaura.
Are you OK?
And is my casserole OK?
Still good.
I'm fine, but the table is not.
Yeah, it's on its last leg.
For reals.
Had to use a spare to prop it up today.
Maybe I can secretly fix it with a go-go glue spell.
Don't risk it.
If Headmistress Bloodgood sees you using witchcraft,
you'll be expelled for sure.
Let's just sit-- [gasps] Over there.
It has a food chute so your order can come right to you.
Plush seats instead of hard coffin pine.
And the perfect lighting for lunchtime selfies!
-[hisses] -Toralei?
What did the cat drag in today?
Certainly not three monsters trying to eat at my table.
[hisses]
Toralei, our regular table's broken,
so we'd like to have lunch here.
And since you're eating alone--
Am not! My friends are just,
uh, using the litter box.
Now, off with you. Oh, shoo shoo.
[button chirps]
[sniffs]
Mmm!
Purrfect purrito.
Fresh purritos that haven't even
been on Draculaura's head?
It really is the best table.
[gasps]
My favorite horoscare said there's nothing we can't do
when friends support each other.
And we're great at supporting each other.
So we're going to get that table.
[all shouting]
[button chirps]
[yelps]
[button chirps]
[yells]
[button chirps]
[whimpers]
[grunts]
Ugh.
In the spirit of fairness, and because
I'm absolutely sick of you ruining my lunch,
I have a deal for you.
You can have the table
if you spend an entire day in the library.
Toralei, that is--
oh, super easy.
What's the catch?
If you leave the library before nightfall,
you have to be my lunchroom attendants
and do whatever I say.
Deal?
You're on.
Creepover in the library!
Oh, yes. Have the best creepover.
It'll be your last at Monster High.
[rooster crows]
All we have to do is stay in here till the sun sets.
With the three of us together, this will be easier
than an open book clawculus test.
What's first?
Stuff our faces with Moon Chips?
Model the latest fashions from Scar-ee?
Tell each other's super personal secrets
that no one else knows?
Me first!
This is my first creepover party.
Then it really needs to be spooktacular.
Let's kick off this creepover with a dance party.
[upbeat music playing]
-Everyone knows witches can't go a whole day
without using witchcraft.
With the library empty, Draculaura will feel safe
conjuring up a spell.
And I'll have the proof to get her expelled.
[cackles]
-[music stops] -Huh?
Who killed the music?
Is that shadow that swiped stuff new,
or have I just not noticed before?
I knew Toralei was up to something.
Hey, give me back my speaker!
Coming in with werewolf speed.
-Yeah! Go, Clawdeen! -Get it!
I don't know how you're doing this, but cut it out, Toralei.
I am not Toralei.
-I am-- -Twyla?
Oh, zap. This whole time it was Twyla?
Wait, who's Twyla?
I'm Twyla.
And you are loud.
Actually, name's Frankie.
And this is Clawdeen.
Twyla is a boogie monster,
and we've been in the same class together
since Grave School.
How have you all not met before?
I prefer to stay in the shadows.
You're on.
Creepover in the library!
[sighs]
Why'd you want our speaker?
I didn't want it.
I wanted to turn it off.
And-- mm, I'm not saying this right.
Let me start over. [inhales]
OK, here it goes.
I'm autistic, and loudness bothers me.
We're so sorry, Twyla.
We never would have played music
if we knew we were disturbing anyone.
I remember from our field trip to the haunted opera house
that you don't like loud music.
Yeah, we thought the place was empty since it's daytime
-and everyone else is in bed. -Exactly!
It is quiet, and I can read my 1,054th book.
Did you know that each monster on the original monster council
had talismans with special powers?
Like your Moon Claw.
Wait. You've read about my Moon Claw?
In the "Intro to Talismans" book.
I'm going in alphabetical order.
And I haven't gotten to "Werewolves and Their Ways" yet,
but that book probably has something
about the moon claw too.
Oh, I need to pick your brain.
Eww, Clawdeen.
My mom and dad said picking brains is impolite,
and you should always use a hanky.
Hmm, see?
I meant, I got to know what you know.
-Join our creepover, Twyla. -What do you say?
Want to wolf down some snacks, watch spooky movies,
and tell us everything about history?
I don't know everything. [chuckles]
Yet. So many more books to read.
But a creepover sounds fun.
And this time, we'll do it quietly.
Yeah, we will! Oh.
[softly] Starting now.
[laughter]
[gobbling]
-[burps] -[laughs]
[mellow music]
[gasps]
Ugh, boring!
I thought Draculaura would be wing deep
in witchcraft by now.
Looks like I'll have to take matters into my own paw.
A stink bug from the Mad Science Lab
should do the trick. Either the stench
will run them out and they'll lose the bet,
or even better, I'll catch Draculaura
using witchcraft on it, and she'll be the one
disappearing from Monster High.
[sing-song] Win-win for Toralei!
And that's the last recorded time the portal was opened.
But if your mom disappeared after, it must have been--
-[squeaking] -A bookworm.
Aww, creepy cute.
Uh-oh. We have to go.
But we can't leave or we'll lose the bet.
There's nothing scary about a little--
[gasps] A bookworm who eats books!
Is it just me or is that bug getting bigger?
Not a stink bug? Oops.
I must have grabbed the wrong creepy crawly.
Wow. Well, I should be on my way.
Anyone got a giant can of bug spray?
Frankie, please tell me your brains
know how to stop this thing.
Not a clue, but maybe one of these books does.
Oh, there's a book-- never mind.
They probably don't need my help.
Mm, aha. "Big Book on Bookworms."
Index says the bookworm's weakness is on page 413.
[growls]
[roars]
We have to stop the bookworm.
If we don't, it'll destroy the library!
And devour the books with the info about the talismans.
And ruin my first creepover party.
Which, now that I say it out loud is maybe less important.
Wait. Where did it go?
[crash]
[growls]
The W's-- the "Werewolves and Their Ways" book is over there.
We can't let it eat that. I need to know my ways.
Whoa!
Frankie tagging in.
Good thing I wore my shoes from the--
whoa-- spring collection.
Whoo-hoo! [yelling]
[grunts]
[yelps]
[all yelp]
-[howls] -[gasps]
[screaming]
[all screaming]
[whimpers] Too loud!
Ah, that bookworm is way stickier
and slithery-er than I expected.
But on the plus side, I did find the next book
for our book club-- "A Courtroom Mystery."
Right, not the time.
-I'm out of ideas. -Me too.
It might be risky, but witchcraft is the only option.
Draculaura, wait.
I can stop the bookworm.
And to do it, I need you to go.
I know it's a lot to ask with your bet with Toralei,
but I can save the books.
Even if leaving didn't mean we'd lose the bet,
we couldn't just leave you with that!
-[roars] -You have to.
Some monsters might need to be together to feel supported,
but sometimes I need my friends to give me quiet space.
And after this really fun creepover, we're friends now.
-I hope. -Of course, we are.
And if you say we need to go, we need to go.
I feel good about this decision.
No lunch table is more important
-than supporting our friend. -And you know, I'm also
definitely pro saving the library
from total destruction.
[roaring]
[sighs]
Is it OK if I take a look at your dreams?
It'll help me understand how to help you.
[grunts]
[whooshing]
You want somewhere cozy and safe with lots of yummy books.
Here, this way.
[chatters excitedly]
All right, Nightmare.
Take this bookworm to the book graveyard.
I'm sure he'll be happy there.
Enjoy those outdated textbooks!
-Have a good trip! -Bye!
[sighs] I can't thank you three enough
for capturing that bookworm.
Actually, Headmistress,
Twyla is the one who did it.
More like school fun.
[laughter]
What are you so happy about?
You lost, and now you have to sit
at that terrible table forever.
[creatures chittering]
[yelps, grunts]
Actually, we're having lunch in the library with Twyla.
Yeah. It's not about where you sit.
It's who you're sitting with.
You can't leave! We had a deal!
But then we found this.
[gasps]
Your paw prints are all over it.
So the new deal is the old deal's off,
or we let Headmistress know you released the bookworm.
[chuckles] Enjoy your lunch.
-[snarls] -[button chirps]
[button chirping, chimes]
[whimpers]
[yelps]
[mellow bassy music]
[owl hooting]
Hi, hello, and what is up, iBall?
What a week.
First, Watzie came back from the dragon migration.
And today is the big Monster High Scaritage Festival.
I can't wait to learn more about everybody's families,
ancestors, and traditions.
-Boo! -[screams] Oh.
Hi, Spectra.
Scaring is how us ghosts celebrate our scaritage,
just like my great-great-great Ghoul-ma
who haunted on the Slay-Flower.
-Don't I look just like her? -Wow. Yeah.
Neat.
Finnegan and I found out we have a great-grand-kraken
in common.
My ancestor stole the heart of his ancestor-- literally!
It was a juicy scandal.
Zombies are one of the undead monsters,
like ghosts and vampires.
-Frankie, wait up. -Hi, Clawdeen.
Where's your booth?
Yeah, I decided not to participate.
You know how the werewolf pack is when it comes to outsiders.
[all growling]
Transformation is one of a vampire's
most well-known abilities.
Roomies!
I'm just getting to the most fangtastic part.
So that's how I transform.
Now, some monsters think that all vampires
are from Transylvania, like my dad.
But my mom was born in Taiwan.
When I'm with her side of the vamp family,
we speak Mandarin.
N ho w de míngzì shì Draculaura.
And that's my scaritage.
[Frankie] The undead section was cool,
but there was one scaritage
that was super duper cooler than the rest.
[growls]
[gasps] Cool!
One thing that makes my family, the onikuma,
different from other Japanese yokai
is our tradition of testing our strength
by picking up boulders.
Anyone want to try?
Oh, I can turn things into stone,
but not a big stone lifter.
Oh, oh, oh! Me, me, me, me, me!
Pick me, pick me.
-Oh, me, me, me! -[electricity whirs]
[grunts]
[groaning]
Ha ha!
[groaning]
Ah.
Whoa, ah!
Oops.
-You slayed it! -Huh?
That's what you say, right?
I got an A on my Monster High slang quiz
and Western monster-ish as a second language class.
Yep. You're learning super fast, Kuma.
Is this a haunt dog eating contest?
Yes. I'm the haunt dog champ three years in a row.
[gasps] Tell me everything.
Let's celebrate a successful Scaritage festival
with a bowl of worm-men.
Back home, we'd pick fresh worms out of the ground,
and my mom puts them straight into the broth.
This one's from a package, but it's pretty good.
Sloppy and slimy?
Onikuma have the best food.
Really? Well, I'm glad
I finally have someone to share my food with.
Maybe you like onikuma food
because you have some onikuma parts in you.
No, definitely not.
When I did my brain chart for Mrs. O'Shriek's class,
learned all about my bits--
ogres, trolls, poltergeists.
But they're all monsters from close by.
No one from far away like you.
A letter from my... [roars]
That means grandma.
Do you get homesick?
Sometimes. Right now I'm missing--
let's see, how do I translate it?
The Rest In Peace Feast.
That's where onikuma honor those who have gone before.
It's a beautiful sacred time for my family.
Voltageous!
Wish we could do something like that at school.
Oh, it would take a lot of work--
the food, the skulls.
And you'd need an onikuma who had memorized the chants.
I got to go.
My [roars] gets worried if I don't write back right away.
It was really nice to talk to you about my home.
Bye, Frankie.
The Rest In Peace Feast.
Coolio-ghoulio.
Incantations, lanterns... [gasps] Food.
She spun circles around and through them.
[laughter] Hey, Frankie.
You missed Ghoulia and Spectra's undead dance off.
I've been busy reading about this thing that Kuma was talking about.
-[Draculaura] Pretty. -[Clawdeen] Clawsome.
Going to do it and surprise him because he's home sick.
Buzzfear has a list of how to make the perfect
Rest In Peace Feast in seven simple steps.
Buzzfear? [laughs]
They did a thing on how to throw a human Halloween party,
and it was so wrong.
They thought the best treat to get
while trick or treating was a toothbrush-- a toothbrush!
Maybe you should ask Kuma about it.
But that'd ruin the surprise.
Oh, got to go get the food.
-[door slams] -[chitters]
To the spirits that roam, to the hungry souls,
to the-- the--
to the click now for free shipping!
Oh. Oh, wait.
That was an ad.
To the dead and undead, come feast on us!
Huh? Oh. No, wait.
Come feast with us!
[cricket chirping]
Guess it didn't work.
Oh, well. Got to go tighten my bolts.
[thunder rumbling]
[dramatic music]
[lightning crackles]
[bolts squeaking]
[grunts]
Oops. Too tight.
Major uncool ghoul!
Gorgons are not snack food!
-[ghouls groaning] -Uh, Ghoulia, whatcha doing?
[snarling, sniffs]
Mmm, brains.
So many different flavors of brains in your skull.
Sorry, but I need my brain bits
to do brain twisters, brain teasers,
and maybe one day brain surgery.
[together] Brains.
[grunts] Brains.
Oh, why is Ghoulia trying to eat us?
No clue, but she's craving seven bite-sized
and one king-sized Gorgon brain.
Brains!
[together] Brains!
Hope this isn't too shocking.
[all yelp]
That should buy us some time.
[together] Brains!
You got something in your locker that'll stop them?
Nope, but we can hide in them.
Quick. Get in yours.
[ghouls groaning]
Draculaura, save some for the sea monsters.
I'm just so thirsty. But water won't quench it.
I want to suck your blood! [snarls]
Come on, Lagoona.
[groans]
What is going on?
I'm usually the one trying to eat everyone.
-[both gasp] -[together] Brains.
[all clamoring]
[grunts, hisses]
-Brains. -Meow!
Hungry!
Brains!
[electric guitar riff]
No, my brains are not for eating!
[yelps]
It's like everybody missed breakfast,
lunch, and snackies!
Is it Casually Eat Your Classmates Friday?
Nope. It was normal before.
Went to the Scaritage Festival,
hung out with Watzie, did the Rest In Peace Feast ritual
to surprise you, came in for dinner--
Frankie, you did the Rest In Peace Feast ritual?
I tried, but nothing happened.
No hungry souls showed up.
-Hungry! -Thirsty!
-Ooh.
Come on, this way!
-Brains! -Brains!
[both screaming]
Uh, Lagoona, you didn't bring us here to eat us, did you?
Oh, no. Don't be silly.
Those are all sustainably and ethically-caught fin-nemies.
Why'd you do the Rest In Peace Feast without coming to me first?
It was supposed to be a surprise.
Plus, I thought it would be easy and fun.
Thing is, it's not just supposed to be easy and fun.
Before I could do it right, I had to go to a special school
to memorize the chants.
And that school was on Saturdays.
[gasps] Saturday school?
That really is a big deal.
This is like the time I saw these sea monsters
with cool fin markings, so I did my own.
But it turns out the markings I put on my fin
meant I was declaring war with them.
It was very messy.
-[together] Brains! -[thumping on door]
We have to act, quick!
-Brains! -Brains!
[squeals] Perfecto!
Now we just need a way to light the lanterns
when we get outside.
Maybe I can help.
-Brains! -Hungry!
Stay back. No brains for you!
[yelps]
I want to suck your blood!
Hurry!
My [roars] taught me that the lantern
represents the bodies of those who were stirred
when the feast began. When the lantern is lit,
it's full and hungers no more.
Thank you for eating with us.
Now your hunger is satisfied and your thirst quenched.
[whooshing]
-Brains. -Thirsty!
Hungry!
-Um... -Um...
[gasps]
How did I get brain stuck between my teeth?
-I got to brush my fangs. -What happened?
Oh, let me tell you the story.
It's a tale of the deepest hunger a monster could feel
and the darkest depths of a school in danger!
Sorry I didn't realize that your tradition
-wasn't just for fun. -I forgive you.
Next time when you want to learn more about the onikuma,
come to me first?
Hey, want to dig up some worms for worm-men?
-I'll teach you how. -[laughs] Yeah!
[whistles] Watzie, come dig worms with us!
Ooh, got one. [roars]
You ever tried them air fried?
[laughs]
[barks]
[closing theme music playing]
