[eerie music playing]
Haunt-onomics is my second favorite subject.
History is my favorite favorite.
I know we monsters love a dark corner,
but how am I supposed to pass Haunt-onomics
if I can't tell what this says?
"Common poltergeists
can't be seen or heard by humans."
Vamp eyes have fantastic night vision.
Hmm.
Let there be light.
[switch clicking]
-Clawd. -It's not me.
-I-- -Boo!
[yelps]
-What happened? -The books!
-Are you okay? -Ha.
Sorry, Clawd.
Just practicing my signature scare
for the Vondergeist cabin.
The Vondergeist cabin?
That's you?
I knew your name sounded familiar.
Humans camp out there just waiting
for supernatural activity.
I've always wanted to go.
I'd take you tonight, but it's kind of just
a me and Ghoul-ma thing.
She's been teaching me the family hunting business.
Scaring humans is how we power up.
I read about that.
I bet Clawd just gave you superpowers
with how scared he was.
I just tripped.
Scaryanne Vondergeist was so powerful
that she could be heard by humans.
Can you do that?
As if. No Vondergeist has been
that powerful in generations.
[bell tolling]
It's haunting hour. Gotta fly.
-Bye, Spectra. -See ya.
-Bye. -But seriously, I wasn't scared.
-Boo! -[screams]
Sorry. Had to.
Bye for reals this time.
Have fun being invisible to humans.
Whoa!
[bookshelves crashing]
[screams]
-Ghoul-ma. -Spectra.
I'm going to miss this.
Wait, what do you mean?
This is my last haunt.
I'm retiring to Sarasotaaagh.
Didn't I tell you?
It's time for you to take over
the family haunting duties.
If tonight goes well, that is.
I need the power from this haunt
to take me into retirement.
Hey, Monster Mashees.
We're coming to you un-undead,
AKA live from the infamous and super-haunted
Vondergeist cabin.
Let the haunt begin.
[yelps]
Aw, it's starting already.
Nice, Spectra.
Good warm-up scare.
Look, he's here.
[laughs]
[gasps]
-[wind howling] -Ooh, I sense a haunting afoot,
just the sort of haunting that will be great for my ratings.
The viewers love how fearless I am in the face
of dastardly ghosts.
And I love the viewers.
And here he is, TV-famous ghost hunter,
Skeeter Vellman.
TV-famous ghost hunter Skeeter Vellman?
Wow.
This could be tricky.
Yikes. Should we postpone?
Guess you'd have to wait to retire.
No, dear, it's time.
Besides, this will be a good challenge for you.
We'll see about that.
Shh.
This is a ghost detection device.
Be very still.
[device whirring]
[groaning]
Mm. [gasps]
[device whirring]
Vacuum me.
It's a ghost vacuum. Keep up.
Look, Ghoul-ma, no hands.
[vacuum whirring]
Spectra, watch out.
[vacuum whirring]
Oh, blast.
Whoops. I wasn't paying attention.
Good thing you were here, huh?
Act natural. We'll draw them in.
Ooh, dinner smells yummy.
Mm, fruit punch.
[spider chittering]
[yells]
That's it.
I can feel their fear in my translucent bones.
Aw, he's a friendly ghost.
Hiya, ghostie. You want to be besties?
-[gasps] -[vacuum whirring]
Spectra, move!
[grunting]
My baby.
Spectra, what's going on with you?
You're usually more careful.
Whoops. Guess I'm not as ready
to go solo as you thought.
[static crackling]
B-- B-- But it's unplugged.
I think it's Morse code.
It's spelling out "You have--"
I have what?
Moments to live? An evil curse?
What do I have?
A booger?
[laughter]
Retirement may have to wait.
[humming]
Oh, creepy painting.
I'm going to make the eyes move.
[grunting]
Oh, no.
Ghoul-ma, help.
It's a trap.
[gasps]
Ghoul-ma!
Get out! Save yourself!
We got one.
Case me!
See that, Mashees?
This ghost didn't stand a chance.
Painting, why won't you let me touch you?
There must be some kind of force field.
What do I do?
Quick, this ghost will have friends
that won't be happy with us.
[static crackling]
[chair creaking]
Pay it no heed.
Let's just get out of here with our ghost.
[grunting]
We're doomed!
Relax. We're just dealing with an angry ghost.
[phone chimes]
Hmm, this is more complicated than I thought.
-Ehh-ehh-ehh... -You got it.
And after this, we'll totally get right back to studying.
[grunts]
-Whoa. Ugh! -[phone chiming]
Clawdeen Wolf at your service.
Clawdeen, I'm so sorry. I know you're all busy studying,
but I really need your help.
Uh, we can take a break.
-I almost have the door open. -Don't worry.
We're not going to let anything happen to your Ghoul-ma.
What do a few silly ghost hunters
have against five monsters,
including an expert poltergeist?
-I'm no expert. -No?
I thought you've been training
with your Ghoul-ma for years.
And you're the descendant of Scaryanne,
who was so powerful that she could be heard by humans, right?
Yeah, but now Ghoul-ma is abandoning me forever.
-I can't do this alone. -Abandoning you?
What do you mean?
She's retiring to Sarasotaaagh.
Oh. So she's just moving.
Well, yes, but she wants me to take over the business solo,
and I can't do it. I'm not ready.
Spectra, you're the best scarer I know.
And my dad is the Boogeyman.
It pains me to say this, and I mean really pains me,
but you kind of did spook me earlier
with that light switch thing.
You can do this.
Your Ghoul-ma wouldn't be passing down something
as important as the family business
if she didn't believe in you.
But how am I supposed to scare a dude
who's not scared of anything?
It is going to be tough to scare an expert
TV-famous ghost hunter.
That's it. I have an idea.
Keep pushing.
[eerie noises]
Ahh!
They're just trying to frighten us
into giving up the ghost.
We don't fear you. Be gone.
I think we're really scaring them.
Pshaw. Smoke and mirrors.
Your parlor tricks don't fool us.
Yeah.
You're the one who should be scared.
We got your friend.
Come on, Spectra.
[static crackling]
[chair creaking]
Big whoop. Seen it.
This ghost is ours.
No, I can't let them take Ghoul-ma.
[grunting]
Ugh!
Leave the clown painting.
Did you hear something?
You heard me? I mean, you heard me.
Leave the painting and get out now,
or I will use my powers to make you
lose all you television fans.
That's right.
Your ratings will plummet so low,
you'll be canceled faster than I can say boo.
I heard that.
Me, too. Terrifying.
Let's get out of here.
[grunting]
And stay out!
[mirror clattering]
Are you okay?
Oh, Spectra.
Thank you so much.
I'm sorry for interrupting your study sesh.
-Anytime, ghost queen. -Happy scaring.
Bye.
So what happened?
You're usually so careful during our haunts.
I'm sorry.
I didn't want to say goodbye,
so I sabotaged the haunt.
I thought if I downplayed my skills,
you'd stay with me because you'd think I wasn't ready.
I've known you were ready for a long time.
It's because I, too, have been sad to let our one-on-one time
go that I've stayed so long.
But this is an exciting phase of ghostly life.
I have fond memories of my own solo haunts.
I know you'll enjoy them too.
Besides, you thwarted one of the best
ghost traps I've ever seen and produced a haunting voice.
[laughs]
After I got you trapped.
Being ready doesn't mean not making mistakes.
Plus, I'll always be an iCoffin call away
and forever in your semi-transparent heart.
[clears throat] [demonic voice] Thanks, Ghoul-ma.
All humans will fear me!
[cackling]
[Ghoul-ma] All right, all right, don't overdo it.
[eerie music playing]
"Deep under the lake's surface, trouble was brewing."
[chirping]
Hydro-Monster rose up to crush evil in its tracks.
Meanwhile, mild-mannered Gil stepped up
to help a little dust fright to safety.
-There you go. -[Romulus] I'm warning you, Barkimedes.
Do my homework, mutt, or I'll get growly.
[growls]
From the shadows, the totally average teen
watched the injustice.
He wanted to be brave like Hydro-Monster,
but what could he do?
Romulus, bully Barkimedes again
and you'll be the one in the doghouse.
-Now, do your own homework. -[sighs]
And once again, all was well in Monster High.
No heroics necessary.
How does it look?
Ah! Whoa!
[groans]
Well, not exactly ultramarine.
-More cobalt. -What?
Cobalt. It's a shade of blue.
Skelita, I'm supposed to be Hydro-Monster.
Don't start with the waterworks.
I'll have it ready in time.
Thanks. Lagoona, Ghoulia, and I
have been dying to cosplay at Nekrokon.
I don't know how to repay you.
Don't even think about it, Gil.
You've helped us all so many times with swim lessons,
being pool party lifeguard, and you always
make sure we're hydrated.
Hmm.
But it's missing the cape.
Let me see what I can dig up.
While I'm gone, you see if you can
get that costume on.
[grunting]
Almost.
[dog barking]
No, term-paper-inator.
I didn't install a villain chip in you.
Whoa!
Hey, you, superhero monster.
A little help stopping that robot from getting my Watzie?
Me? Oh, yeah.
Halt, term-paper-nator.
Your term is up.
Here you go, fr--
I mean, stranger.
Thank you. Aw.
But who are you?
I'm Cobalt Kid.
Cobalt Kid.
Ah! Ugh!
H-2-Oh my ghoulness, I'm a superhero.
Cobalt Kid to the rescue.
Ooh!
[yells]
Somebody help me!
It's dark in here, and I can't read.
-I'll save you. -Yeah.
[together] Yeah! Whoo-hoo!
[yells]
Ugh!
[camera clicks]
-[cat meows] -I'll save you.
Um, Cobalt Kid, sir?
-Ugh! -[cheers and applause]
Thank you. That was so brave.
I know.
[all] Cobalt Kid,
Cobalt Kid, Cobalt Kid!
Gil?
Cobalt Kid is boo-riffic.
Some kind of spooktacular superhero called Cobolt Kid.
I hear he's 10 feet tall and eats bullies for breakfast.
I don't get it. I mean, I'm super grateful Cobalt Kid saved Watzie,
but kids are saved from mortal danger every other day here.
This is true, but the most fantastic part
is that he is a real-life superhero.
He has a costume and a mask.
Yeah, it's so dramatic.
It's so ghoul, like having our own
Dead Fast or Goblin Girl.
I have drawn fan art. See?
[sneaky music playing]
Please don't tell anyone it's me.
No, of course not if it's a secret.
But why is it a secret?
Something about being Cobalt Kid
just makes it easier to do stuff,
stuff I was too scared to do before.
I'm all about clothes that help you feel confident.
Just don't be a numskull and get too carried away.
- [PA chimes] -[woman on PA] Hello, students.
It seems Monster High
has its very own superhero.
Now, I'm usually against vigilante justice,
but Superintendent Sludgerson is looking for ways we might
decrease our rule-breaking school-wide,
and this Cobbler Kid is better than nothing.
I've tried nothing. It didn't work.
So I am giving Cuddle Kid complete authority
to escort any rule-breakers to detention.
Hmm. That's a lot of responsibility.
I'm certain knowing a real hero is watching
will keep the rest of you in line.
Well, Cooper Kid, you have your mission.
I won't let Headmistress Bloodgood down.
I have a job to do.
Uh, that's my locker, and my costume's inside.
Whoa, this is dangerous.
Someone could get hurt.
[crash]
Sorry, pal, but this goo's got to go to detention.
What? Me?
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
School charter rule 17.2345A
states no skating in the halls.
Come with me, please.
Wait, wait. I can't go to detention.
I'm supposed to feed the garbage goblins.
They get very bite-y if they don't get fed.
Aah!
You've really dropped the books
and the ball on your job
as junior librarian. To detention.
What? Trust me, no one feels worse
about dropping books than I do.
[woman over PA] Thanks to the brave Cold Heart Kid,
we have a 100% increase in students
facing the consequences of their actions in detention.
Keep up the good work.
Selling baked goods without a license?
No one will be wolfing these down today.
To detention.
[giggles]
No, my candy!
Grand theft candy bar.
Detention.
But I thought you were ghoul.
To detention.
Littering is a crime against us all.
You're all washed up, Lagoona.
But I'm your biggest fan.
That was a drawing of you.
Less talking, more walking to detention.
[PA chimes]
Cronut Kid has smashed Mrs. O'Shriek's record
for the most kids put in detention in one day.
The creepateria?
Yeah, detention is already full, so this is the overflow.
Tater tyke?
I'm getting seriously chompy.
That Cobalt Kid has an unhealthy amount of power
and no accountability.
That super zero wouldn't be this pushy
if we knew who they were.
Yeah. Who is hiding
behind that mask and very specific pseudonym?
Is it you, Skelita?
I bet you know what color cobalt is.
I do but I am not the vigilante.
Or was it you, Barkimedes?
Uh, I don't think so?
Wait, why would Cobalt Kid put themselves in detention?
Are they that devious?
-[panting] -[screaming]
Get away.
What is the meaning of this?
Headmistress Bloodgood, I'm a little scared to tell you this,
but I can't keep doing what you asked.
Didn't Ghoulia feed you?
She's usually so responsible.
Ghoulia? Oh, no. This is my fault.
Help!
Anyone!
Coldcut Kid!
No time to get my costume.
Can I help as just me?
Stay away!
This is one headmistress you won't be gobbling.
Time to take out the trash.
[garbage goblins clattering]
Oh. Oh, dear.
I nearly lost my head.
Oh, there it goes.
Gil, you did that without the costume.
See? No bones about it.
You don't need a disguise to be brave.
Whew, I hope not.
'Cause it's going to take real courage to tell
everyone I'm Cobalt Kid.
I believe in you, Super Gil.
Do I look Cobalt Kid-sized to you?
It has to be someone.
I will be writing a strongly worded
post about this on Eektok.
Hey, everybody, can I get your attention?
I have something to say.
Uh, wow, that's a lot of attention.
I need to tell you that I'm Cobalt Kid.
-[all gasping] -Ugh, that's rough.
No part of me understands this.
I knew it. Didn't I say that?
You absolutely did not say that.
Look, you can all go now.
No more detention. I just--
I wanted to be brave enough to help people.
But I guess the power went to my head,
and I got a little carried away.
-A little? -A lot carried away.
You made me miss feeding the garbage goblins.
Not ghoul.
I know. I-I'm really sorry.
I was trying to do what Headmistress Bloodgood asked,
but that's no excuse.
I take full responsibility.
Oh, my ghoulness. Not full responsibility.
I was trying to do what Sludgerson asked,
but no one should just follow orders without question.
Sometimes, you have to be brave enough--
and as your headmistress, I can't believe I'm saying this--
to say no, even to me.
My apologies to all of you.
-Ugh. -Sorry. Sorry, everybody.
-Sure. It's okay. -Sorry.
[girl] We'll talk about this later.
Sorry. Sorry.
Apology accepted, but take it from someone made up of different parts.
Nobody is all good or all bad.
You did good things, too, saving Watzie,
helping Manny, Cleo, and Toralei.
Hmm, maybe.
I mean, costume or not, that was you
under there the whole time.
Thanks, Frankie.
Well, Coconut Kid, I think we have some cleaning to do.
I eat a lot more than you, so I should get your lunch money
and a snack tax.
Leave him alone.
[growls]
Fine. Whatever.
Aah!
[growls]
Thanks, Gil.
You got it, Barkimedes.
As our hero walked off into the moonlight,
he knew he had protected the fair citizens
of Monster High for another day.
Hey, where are you going, young man?
We still have trash to clean.
Oh, right.
Goodwill Gil to clean this spill.
[spooky music playing] his spill.
