Wow - we covered so many itty bitty details in todays video. You all make my channel what it is, and I'm so grateful - i want to make sure I'm making the videos you want to see so let me know which doll lines you'd like to see me make more videos about next!! What are some of your fave doll lines you feel deserve more recognition?!
My 9 year old niece loves Monster High, and she LITERALLY pointed out to me how she noticed that one of her spectra dolls had more defined cheekbones!!! Like Mattel thinks children don’t notice little details like that but they do!!!!!
Love that you shared this!! It’s so true, I remember when I was younger the reason I even got into MH was the details! It’s a big pet peeve of mine when people say “kids don’t notice that stuff” cus they definitely do.
When I was little I used to have an ballerina Ariel doll and one of the things that I most liked about her was that there little seagull in her eyes, so most of the time I played with her I would find myself staring at them
The 50s designs would've been so cool-more dolls to attend the Die-ner we got. Skelita has "Katrina" on her skull because in Mexican culture, when you put the name of someone who is important to you on a sugar skull, whether they are alive or dead, you are honoring them.
I am not adopted (as far as I know) but I love the fact Draculaura is. It’s great representation for a group that gets little to no attention from the mass media.
@@kel7470 That’s sad, and what’s even more sad is the fact that SOME idiots think because you didn’t birth the child it’s not yours, even though the adopted child and their new parent recognize each other as family and the bio parents probably didn’t want the child.
I still think they should have done a line around pre-monster characters. Like a Cleo/Nefera doll as an Egyptian princess not mummy, medieval Draculaura, Human Victorian Spectra etc.
Wait!? I read somewhere that in the books Cleo's mother does reunite with her family and that she herself became a mummy too and that she became an archeologist!
@@strudel_reviews its part of the Monster High Diaries series (not to be confused with the diaries that come with the dolls, these are short novels) though unfortunately it's never specified if these books are canon to the main line.
I was a Barbie designer from 2007-2012. The iteration of Monster High that everyone knows and loves was already nearly finished the week I started in 2007. Garrett, his brother Darren and other designers from the packaging and the ‘Apptivity’ (new technologies) teams designed an array of characters, but being that none of them were fashion or doll designers, Lily Martinez was brought in to make the dolls look more fashionable. And to Lily’s credit, the line would never have sold as it was before she djudged it up ( believe me- I saw the original sketches and you saw those prototypes)! Garrett and I were instantly friends because he recognized my illustration style from a doll line that I’d previously worked on called ‘The Hottiez’ and he told me that the proportions of the Hottiez dolls influenced Monster High’s doll bodies. Garrett himself also told me how grateful he was for Lily’s help in making the line look more fashionable when we first met. While Lily might have created Lagoona from scratch- there were prelim storylines and prelim sketches for her to reference or ignore from various other characters. The team had already laid down the groundwork- (even if the other designers’ contributions weren’t as beautiful as her own). Lily was also publicly acknowledged in a internal company-wide assembly when the line was launched in 2010, but I guess she’s feeling a certain way about Garrett’s accomplishments rather than being happy for him as I am.
I kinda hope that Mattel let's Netflix reboot Monster High to be darker like how it was originally supposed to be, like we could have the storyline of Cleo being cold to other monsters because she's scared to open up, due to how she died.
That would've been cool But Mattel has let monster High die, they don't even mention it on their page And I'm kinda scared that Netflix would've ruined this even more... Like destroying original couples and characters and stuff like that
Jazz-axy only because they change too much, if Netflix were to reboot Monster High and just have some darker episodes then I think it could revive the series.
You can actually learn more about monster high back stories in the monster high series of books. The plot across the four books is very different from the show, but in Monster High: Back and Deader than Ever, we learn about Draculaura's backstory through flashbacks.
I LOVE the MH book series - but Garrett Sander said they aren’t considered canon 😭 it’s kind of like a separate/alternate reality of the franchise, I like to think the book series is more accurate to what we’d get if they made MH a Netflix movie. More teen/adult geared
I started tearing up at Cleo’s POV story once I paused and read it. That’s just heartbreaking. She’s my favorite character in the MH series, and just- My GOD. I wanna give her a hug.
A few of these I already knew but the ones I didn’t know makes me realize there is maybe more about monster high I don’t know about. And I thought I was a true fan of this franchise😭😭
I feel you, I only found out some of these by researching for the video! You can totally be a true fan of the franchise still, the fact you're even watching MH related content is a testament to how much you support the franchise 💕 Which facts had you stumped?!
@@Clawdeena9 I already knew Draculaura was adopted but didn’t know she was human first then turned into a vampire. I thought her parents were killed by humans. I was 8 years old when Monster high came out in 2010 now I’m 18 and I still love it (not the reboot lol😂) even my 12th birthday was monster high themed. This franchise had those episodes/movies about sexism, race, family etc that we don’t see in other shows today and I miss that 💕I do feel like one day Monster high will go back to the way it use to be
I would love Valentine's official coming out, but on wiki it said that fans would be upset with a villain gay representation I kinda get why did they want to cancel it, I can almost see that drama... Almost like with Hazbin Hotel, some people were upset with Angel's representation
Yeah. Although I know people dislike gay villians (including me, depending on how they're portrayed) I think he could be redeemed and have then come out
This makes me mad. Anyone can be gay just like anyone can be evil, and thinking someone is perfectly good and flawless just because they are from a certain group is very very very dehumanizing. My only issue with this is the "gay vampire trope" lol its too obvioouuus
This was in another one of her videos, but it actually wasn't the fans. The company told Garett, the only LGBTQ person on the team, that it would be bad representation.

Angel Dust is gay & has a bad history and attitude, but he's also the character we'll most likely get the most redemption out of.
@@flynnvoid7694 Older comment, so sorry, but…) It annoys me that straight people have been doing drugs/shooting things/having sex in the media since the beginning of time, but as soon as a gay guy does it he’s a “villain”.
Idk if this was just lazy animation or what but the other day I watch frights camera action and looked at Draculaura’s family tree closer and saw a connection between Elizebat and what looked like Valentine with closer analyzing. So they could be brother and Sister or cousins but again looking around the tree there was a bit of copying and pasting the same monster in different parts but I didn’t see Valentine anywhere else on the tree so...
You got good eyes!! Love your observation 💕 I think Garrett Sander answered a question about this on his IG, if I’m not mistaken he confirmed Valentine is not related to Elizabat. That’d be kinda wild tho 😭
Kinda sad I wasn't into dolls when MH was out because I'm obsessed with their designs, but I'm kinda grateful because I would have no savings 🙃 Still, it's fun to learn about them!
Depending on Goulia's zombie type/what turned her family into zombies it makes 100% sense as to why she's aging. Some zombies aren't like a viral overload situation but rather spell casts
You know, information about Draculaura and her adopting was in monster high books by Lizzy Harrison. I've read about it in childhood,before Draculaura collector was released.
I just gotta say, I recently had to made a stopmotion for a school project, and I gotta tell you, making that 1 minute video was annoying as hell. I gotta give it to you clawdeena, making a stop motion styled video is really difficult and its incredible you make it look so good.
Props to you for making one! Always good to have a new skill up your sleeve haha - thank you so much for recognizing the dedication and effort I put into my content, it makes me feel seen 🥰💕
This was so cool! I missed getting lots of dolls because by the time I was interested in dolls it was 2015 or 2016, and before that I only got Barbie from my parents TT
Agh, I wanna do a Monster High giveaway some day on my Instagram cus I know lots of MH fans never had a chance to actually get the dolls. Hope you're able to build a clawesome collection some day! 💕
I really want to watch video about relationship between monster high students, as I have heard that Cleo and Clawd was dating, and Draculaura was dating with Deuce, but I don't have any evidence..
En el diario de Clawd sale que solía salir con Cleo, mientras que en el de Holt Hyde sale que Jackson salía con Draculaura pues Holt la recuerda en una cita donde se suponía ella iba a eatar con su contraparte humana. Al final terminan porque Jackson no se aparecía en las citas.
OOO I KNOW THIS!! basically, the whole school put Cleo and Clawd together because they were the most popular monsters in school, therefore, a powerful couple. Clawd and Cleo DID date but they were mostly chill as friends, HOWEVER Cleo and Deuce started liking each other but neither made a move because Cleo was dating Clawd, Deuce's best friend. Because Cleo and Clawd weren't happy together as a couple and they just wanted to be friends, they broke up, absoluetly no hard feelings between those two BUT because Cleo and Deuce got together soon after, Spectra started a rumor that Cleo cheated on Clawd, dumped him, and broke his heart by getting with his best friend when that DID NOT HAPPEN. this is actually really funny because this is where Clawdeen and Cleo's rivalry began, because Clawdeen listened to rumors instead of her brother. This also started everyone's distrust of Spectra because of her fabricating stories
I had to read on the De Niles’ death to get a better understanding... so like basically, the wraps they used to preserve their selves, weren’t really magically like they were intended to be? Because from what I read, it said they had no “loyal followers” left, meaning they had people out to get them and basically Sabotage them? Someone please explain it better for me? Like how exactly did they “die”?
@@elonniemarie5174 I GOT THIS TOO. the mummy wraps were enchanted to put them into an unbreakable sleep...obviously it didn't work because they woke up hundreds, maybe thousands of years later and spent a long period of time in their bunker, with preserved food, water and servants. they didn't die but the magic in the wraps are preserving them and that means the family DOES age but much much slower. That being said, if they do not even have the SMALLESt wrap of cloth on them, they become dust in the wind
I remember when I got the catty noir doll and I brought it to school to show my friends bc I did not have a phone in elementary school and I group of girls came in to my class at lunch and stole her and broke her up when I came back to find my doll I was sad bc my dad spent 100 dollars on it at the time
The 1950's freaky fusion concept was so cool, but i’m glad they went with the original one instead They should have made a separate 50's inspired doll line though that would have been so cool
even tho i know monster high since 2011 most of these facts i didnt actually know, because i was very young back then and i didnt know anything lol and PLEASE POST STUFF ABOUT EAH!!!!
Holy smokes, Circe is the last one I would expect to be represented somehow in Monster High, but that's neat. Since she's often depicted as a witch in modern media and all that
So cool to hear! Mh has so much interesting lore and facts! Idk if I knew about Honey's original name!! There's a few extra details as well! SPOILERS for Hexiciah Steam's San Diego Comic Con diary, but Cleo's mom is actually found!! It makes me so happy that some of the best MH characters get their reunions as a bookend to the series. The 50s kids who look like genderswapped versions of Abbey, Venus, and Twyla actually are new characters as well! Peach Mork, the concept artist who posted them refers to them as Skellesquatch, the Fronds, and Elvis Ghoustello respectively. Love your videos and looks! Can't wait to see more MH content. 💖💖💖💖
Actually Casta is based off of Beyonce. If you look at her designs you can see she resembles some of Beyonce looks. So she's is technically the beyonce of their world
This was so interesting! I pride myself on knowing all about Monster High but I didn’t even know Spectra had died! Thank you for such amazing videos Clawdeena you’re the best 🥰
I remember when I was in grade 2, I had these pink hair clip in things because my mum wouldn’t let me dye my hair, and when I was at school, a little girl said I looked like Draculaura because of my hair (Once I got into Monster High, Draculaura grew into be my favourite character from Monster High)
Actually, regarding the Freaky Fusion concept art, the male designs are not Venus, Abbey, or Twyla genderbent. Peach Mork, the artist who made the concept art of the 50s monsters, stated the concept characters are "The Fronds" and "Elvis Ghoustello" while the yeti boy is actually supposed to be a yeti-skeleton hybrid named "Skellsquatch."
wanna know something I realized? Frankie is 10 years old and will spend 17-18 years in high school. where as many of her friends may have long since graduated. she was put into high school 15 days after her creation. the dolls were out in July 2010. usually the average kid starts school around the age of 4 or 5 but Frankie is a very special case, being made in a laboratory and having the physical appearance of a teenager, thus skipping most grades. while I said many of her peers may have long since graduated, Frankie herself is going to graduate in June of 2028, before she turns 18.
I mean kinda makes sense we don’t really see a mother for draculaura or a gf or wife for Dracula so it’s the only logical conclusion, he has been her dad for longer than her birth parents were 💀
8:05 That's not Frankenstein. That's Frankenstein's Monster, Dr. Victor Frankenstein's in-lab creation. MH author Lisi Harrison calls him Vicktor Stien. Technically Frankie is the youngest student, at an estimated 3 human years of age by the time the franchise ended. In the reboot, we last see Alivea less than a month old.
Casta being Circe's daughter also makes sense because of her turning other students into animals with magic when she sings can be a resemblance to Circe turning all men that step in her island into animals, so that's a great detail too. Also when you mentioned the characters that are based off of Greek Mythology, I'd like to add; Widowna Spider being th daughter of Arachne, Quill Talytino being the daughter of Harpies, and Avea trotter being half Centaur and half Harpy, which are both creatures from Greek Mythology!!
Fingers crossed, that a monster high reboot can include some of these amazing story lines!!! I’m hoping that Mattel will make the line, 13 and up so they’re not so concerned about it being too mature.
I like Honey Swamp, but now I'm lowkey mad they never made a character called "Allie Gator". She could've the daughter if like a sewer monster or something.😂
Thank you so much for always being clawsome!!! You were my fav RUclipsr since 2016 and this year I’m starting a RUclips channel because you inspired me!!!!
I feel like, technically Frankie is the youngest student... since, by the time Howleen starts at Monster High, Frankie's what? About a year old? (Edit: Howleen's name, my keyboard autocorrected to, "Howlett," for... some reason.)
@@Midnight_May474 Frankie was 16 days old when she started high school. So by the time Howleen starts at Monster High, Frankie's gotta be roughly a year old, since it was the next school year that Howleen started as a Monster High student.
Great video! I think they made Casta daughter of Circe to avoid people assuming she's the daughter of the Wicked Witch of the West as the green skinned wicked Witch of the west is not public domain. It's also why she's more of a pale green than the witch from the wizard of Oz.
10:43 Shout out to my boi, Valentine! I knew from the moment that boy swaggered in that there was no way he could be straight. I wish he'd been able to come out during the series' run. :/ ValxSpelldon ❤💜
You got a great question here - Draculaura, Cleo & Deuce were all my first. I bought them all at once (technically Draculaura was for my niece, but I really just used her as an excuse to buy dolls 😂💕) Hbu?! Who was ur first?
This video was amazing!! The facts are so intriguing and interesting...Like, Cleo's backstory?! And I think I prefer Clawdeena9 instead of Howleena9 😛💖
I didn’t even know they had back stories of how they died. I thought all the Monster High characters were just monsters their whole life. wow I wanna hear more about their back stories now and how they died.
Love these videos! When monster high was hot and fresh, I was simply too young to remember a lot, I now being in my teens have started to go back to Monster High! I wanted to a few years ago but I didn't want to be teased by my family or anything, now Idgaf if people think it's strange Monster High is amazing! I'm really sad I never got a chance to get any of the dolls, I hope someday they make the dolls like they used to. I also love the stop motion of your character! Very cute and clean!
I love Draculara even more because I was adopted by my dad. But my biological mother is still alive and I love her for what she did for my brother and I
Genderbend Venus and Twyla probably weren’t genderbent. It’s probably their dad’s since the Boogyman is typically seen as a male figure and (I’m pretty sure) Venus and, in turn, her dad were based off of Audrey 2 from Little Shop of Horrors, who’s a male man-eating plant.

That’s cool
Katrina is a cultural icon of the Day of the Dead, the name Katrina is jut a reference to that
So I wonder who Skelita is honoring.
Katrina was also the doll’s original name before she officially became Skelita so the designers wanted a subtle nod to that 😊

@@flynnvoid7694 Yeah. I feel like he'd also be used as a marketing ploy
@@flynnvoid7694 Older comment, so sorry, but…) It annoys me that straight people have been doing drugs/shooting things/having sex in the media since the beginning of time, but as soon as a gay guy does it he’s a “villain”.
Lili Martinez should be praised for designing the monster high gang
I love how clawdeena knows all of these facts and theories
What can I say, I’m ✨obsessed✨
i love how it's more attention-grabbing that manny and slo mo are dancing than howleen making out with an eyeball in the back lmaoo
I know! That’s all I can look at, it that funny!
Lmao fr 😂😂😂
Idk if this was just lazy animation or what but the other day I watch frights camera action and looked at Draculaura’s family tree closer and saw a connection between Elizebat and what looked like Valentine with closer analyzing. So they could be brother and Sister or cousins but again looking around the tree there was a bit of copying and pasting the same monster in different parts but I didn’t see Valentine anywhere else on the tree so...
You got good eyes!! Love your observation 💕 I think Garrett Sander answered a question about this on his IG, if I’m not mistaken he confirmed Valentine is not related to Elizabat. That’d be kinda wild tho 😭
I saw that too! I was wondering if that's an easter egg
Them being related would be so epic and dramatic 👀❤️❤️
Cleo is iconic. Periodt 😌🤚
I don’t know about that. I barely remember her
Kinda sad I wasn't into dolls when MH was out because I'm obsessed with their designs, but I'm kinda grateful because I would have no savings 🙃 Still, it's fun to learn about them!
Depending on Goulia's zombie type/what turned her family into zombies it makes 100% sense as to why she's aging. Some zombies aren't like a viral overload situation but rather spell casts
You know, information about Draculaura and her adopting was in monster high books by Lizzy Harrison. I've read about it in childhood,before Draculaura collector was released.
Yeah but those books aren’t canon
@@waterlemonandfriends I know, and it's a reason why it's really interesting fact
Woah - Cleo and Draculaura's backstories are so interesting yet traumatic! I feel so bad for those ghouls.
if clawdeena likes my comment, i'm gonna die of happiness
Don't die but omg 🥺💕
She’s died X👄X
@@Clawdeena9 sxylviaa cant come to the phone right now... why? oh! Cause shes dead!
Are you dead?
Sxylviaa are you ok? 🥺💕
This list left us with "if only.."
I love how Clawdeena's doll is always dressed up more as a baddie then Clawdeena herself
I’m not surprised about ghoulia being born a zombie tbh bc of the way she speaks
I just gotta say, I recently had to made a stopmotion for a school project, and I gotta tell you, making that 1 minute video was annoying as hell. I gotta give it to you clawdeena, making a stop motion styled video is really difficult and its incredible you make it look so good.
Props to you for making one! Always good to have a new skill up your sleeve haha - thank you so much for recognizing the dedication and effort I put into my content, it makes me feel seen 🥰💕
Yes I love ur Channel! You always spill the tea!!! I love monster high and ever after high!!!
Thank you so much!! Should i make more ever after high videos too?! 🥺💕 I feel like they deserve some more love
@@Clawdeena9 Please! I need the EAH tea ☕️
OmG LYRIC! Hiiiiii. I also love clawdeenaaa
@@Clawdeena9 Yes! You couldn't be more right!
Yessssssss more ever after high!!!! We need tea for them!
This was so cool! I missed getting lots of dolls because by the time I was interested in dolls it was 2015 or 2016, and before that I only got Barbie from my parents TT
Agh, I wanna do a Monster High giveaway some day on my Instagram cus I know lots of MH fans never had a chance to actually get the dolls. Hope you're able to build a clawesome collection some day! 💕
clawdeena9 I hope so too! A collection would be amazing.
I really want to watch video about relationship between monster high students, as I have heard that Cleo and Clawd was dating, and Draculaura was dating with Deuce, but I don't have any evidence..
En el diario de Clawd sale que solía salir con Cleo, mientras que en el de Holt Hyde sale que Jackson salía con Draculaura pues Holt la recuerda en una cita donde se suponía ella iba a eatar con su contraparte humana. Al final terminan porque Jackson no se aparecía en las citas.
OOO I KNOW THIS!!
basically, the whole school put Cleo and Clawd together because they were the most popular monsters in school, therefore, a powerful couple. Clawd and Cleo DID date but they were mostly chill as friends, HOWEVER Cleo and Deuce started liking each other but neither made a move because Cleo was dating Clawd, Deuce's best friend.
Because Cleo and Clawd weren't happy together as a couple and they just wanted to be friends, they broke up, absoluetly no hard feelings between those two BUT because Cleo and Deuce got together soon after, Spectra started a rumor that Cleo cheated on Clawd, dumped him, and broke his heart by getting with his best friend when that DID NOT HAPPEN.
this is actually really funny because this is where Clawdeen and Cleo's rivalry began, because Clawdeen listened to rumors instead of her brother. This also started everyone's distrust of Spectra because of her fabricating stories
I had to read on the De Niles’ death to get a better understanding... so like basically, the wraps they used to preserve their selves, weren’t really magically like they were intended to be? Because from what I read, it said they had no “loyal followers” left, meaning they had people out to get them and basically Sabotage them? Someone please explain it better for me? Like how exactly did they “die”?
@@elonniemarie5174 I GOT THIS TOO. the mummy wraps were enchanted to put them into an unbreakable sleep...obviously it didn't work because they woke up hundreds, maybe thousands of years later and spent a long period of time in their bunker, with preserved food, water and servants. they didn't die but the magic in the wraps are preserving them and that means the family DOES age but much much slower. That being said, if they do not even have the SMALLESt wrap of cloth on them, they become dust in the wind
AHHHHGGG I LOVE CLAWDEENA SPEAKING SPANISH.
P.D: My Slowmo has the wolf hands, I thought it was normal LoL
I remember when I got the catty noir doll and I brought it to school to show my friends bc I did not have a phone in elementary school and I group of girls came in to my class at lunch and stole her and broke her up when I came back to find my doll I was sad bc my dad spent 100 dollars on it at the time
That's so horrible, I'm so sorry! What horrible kids
The 1950's freaky fusion concept was so cool, but i’m glad they went with the original one instead
They should have made a separate 50's inspired doll line though that would have been so cool
even tho i know monster high since 2011 most of these facts i didnt actually know, because i was very young back then and i didnt know anything lol and PLEASE POST STUFF ABOUT EAH!!!!
I was into them back in 2010
Holy smokes, Circe is the last one I would expect to be represented somehow in Monster High, but that's neat. Since she's often depicted as a witch in modern media and all that
So Frankie is technically a teen mom.. interesting
So cool to hear! Mh has so much interesting lore and facts! Idk if I knew about Honey's original name!! There's a few extra details as well! SPOILERS for Hexiciah Steam's San Diego Comic Con diary, but Cleo's mom is actually found!! It makes me so happy that some of the best MH characters get their reunions as a bookend to the series. The 50s kids who look like genderswapped versions of Abbey, Venus, and Twyla actually are new characters as well! Peach Mork, the concept artist who posted them refers to them as Skellesquatch, the Fronds, and Elvis Ghoustello respectively. Love your videos and looks! Can't wait to see more MH content. 💖💖💖💖
wow! i wished they talked more about cleo’s experience before she died in mh. itd be so interesting
Literally I just want the diaries 😭 they are so sad
the monster high wiki has them!
@@nemashan3701 I know but I want them in person 😭😭😭
@@HeyOrpheus IKKK PAIN
@1:51
*Ryu:* Talk is cheap!
*Cleo* *de* *Nile:* Not unlike Toralei's earings!
*Ryu:* Huh?
Casta Fierce reminds me of lady Gaga and catty Catty Noir reminds me of Ariana Grande-
Actually Casta is based off of Beyonce. If you look at her designs you can see she resembles some of Beyonce looks. So she's is technically the beyonce of their world
@@chinyereudeh3405 Yeah that makes a lot of sense now! Also, we already have a zombie gaga Ha
@@chinyereudeh3405 ahh I can see the resemblance lol
This was so interesting! I pride myself on knowing all about Monster High but I didn’t even know Spectra had died! Thank you for such amazing videos Clawdeena you’re the best 🥰
"That website you used in middle school because you thought you'd make money off of taking surveys"
YES, BUT HOW DARE YOU CALL ME OUT LIKE THIS
I remember when I was in grade 2, I had these pink hair clip in things because my mum wouldn’t let me dye my hair, and when I was at school, a little girl said I looked like Draculaura because of my hair
(Once I got into Monster High, Draculaura grew into be my favourite character from Monster High)
10:13 the prototypes look weird.. I'm glad they changed them
Actually, regarding the Freaky Fusion concept art, the male designs are not Venus, Abbey, or Twyla genderbent. Peach Mork, the artist who made the concept art of the 50s monsters, stated the concept characters are "The Fronds" and "Elvis Ghoustello" while the yeti boy is actually supposed to be a yeti-skeleton hybrid named "Skellsquatch."
I would’ve loved that freak fusion idea, it seems way more interesting and bit more like they could relate
wanna know something I realized? Frankie is 10 years old and will spend 17-18 years in high school. where as many of her friends may have long since graduated.
she was put into high school 15 days after her creation. the dolls were out in July 2010. usually the average kid starts school around the age of 4 or 5 but Frankie is a very special case, being made in a laboratory and having the physical appearance of a teenager, thus skipping most grades.
while I said many of her peers may have long since graduated, Frankie herself is going to graduate in June of 2028, before she turns 18.
I'm so happy that Monster high is still being talked about!
I can't believe that Draculaura is adopted! I always thought Dracula was her biological dad! ;-;
I mean kinda makes sense we don’t really see a mother for draculaura or a gf or wife for Dracula so it’s the only logical conclusion, he has been her dad for longer than her birth parents were 💀
YESSSS keep up the amazing content gurl! This is amazing
8:05 That's not Frankenstein. That's Frankenstein's Monster, Dr. Victor Frankenstein's in-lab creation. MH author Lisi Harrison calls him Vicktor Stien.
Technically Frankie is the youngest student, at an estimated 3 human years of age by the time the franchise ended. In the reboot, we last see Alivea less than a month old.
proud to say i knew a lot of these 😌 whenever i make my ‘redesigns’ i look all over their wiki pages and learned a lot of this cool info.
Casta being Circe's daughter also makes sense because of her turning other students into animals with magic when she sings can be a resemblance to Circe turning all men that step in her island into animals, so that's a great detail too.
Also when you mentioned the characters that are based off of Greek Mythology, I'd like to add; Widowna Spider being th daughter of Arachne, Quill Talytino being the daughter of Harpies, and Avea trotter being half Centaur and half Harpy, which are both creatures from Greek Mythology!!
Incredible facts, and such an Amazing video as usual .🧛🏻♀️ Clawdeena never disappoints , 🖤 Thank you for Sharing! ⛓🥀
Fingers crossed, that a monster high reboot can include some of these amazing story lines!!! I’m hoping that Mattel will make the line, 13 and up so they’re not so concerned about it being too mature.
I love this video. Make a part 2.
I cannot watch these videos fast enough!!! Totally obsessed with this channel!
I am forever happy that my favorite doll has shared my name on her head :)
I love the dark backstories adults can find out and will go way over kids heads. I love dark story lines, so this is so cool!
“The reboot *NEVER* happened” I agree with that statement on a very VERY high level.
I loved it when you talked about el dia de muertos, you sound so lovely ;w;
I like Honey Swamp, but now I'm lowkey mad they never made a character called "Allie Gator". She could've the daughter if like a sewer monster or something.😂
Thank you so much for always being clawsome!!! You were my fav RUclipsr since 2016 and this year I’m starting a RUclips channel because you inspired me!!!!
Frankie is the youngest..... she’s announced 16 DAYS old
I think now her age is “ how many days has it been again? “ 🤣 but yes, you’re correct - Frankie is the youngest 😬 my bad
Ooh i love frankie’s greaser dad concept!
The fact valentine was gay OMG for some reason I find that cute
The grim reapers daughter?
Oh there is more than one honey, there are like 30 from diffrent households in the sims
I feel like, technically Frankie is the youngest student... since, by the time Howleen starts at Monster High, Frankie's what? About a year old?
(Edit: Howleen's name, my keyboard autocorrected to, "Howlett," for... some reason.)
She was 15 days old😭
@@Midnight_May474 Frankie was 16 days old when she started high school. So by the time Howleen starts at Monster High, Frankie's gotta be roughly a year old, since it was the next school year that Howleen started as a Monster High student.
@@Lillyluvsanime oh yeah you right lol
Isn’t it Voodooo since Frankie made him
@@NoName-dx1no I guess so. Sometimes I forget that Hoodude Voodoo counts as a student.
luv ya clawdeena luv ya rainbow high tea vids
Could you go over spectras backstory in more depth she’s one of my favorite characters
Great video! I think they made Casta daughter of Circe to avoid people assuming she's the daughter of the Wicked Witch of the West as the green skinned wicked Witch of the west is not public domain. It's also why she's more of a pale green than the witch from the wizard of Oz.
10:43 Shout out to my boi, Valentine! I knew from the moment that boy swaggered in that there was no way he could be straight. I wish he'd been able to come out during the series' run. :/ ValxSpelldon ❤💜
Squee! This came out on my birthday and I’m so happy you made a monster high video! Im a big fan of the franchise so thank you so so much!❤️
WAIT A MINUTE...If Draculaura knew she was adopted, why did she believe she was the queen of vampires ?
Becuase they forgot about that
These girls have so much character dev, most are revealed in movies, but the details in their character development.
Hi clawdeena, who was Your first Monster high doll ?💖
You got a great question here - Draculaura, Cleo & Deuce were all my first. I bought them all at once (technically Draculaura was for my niece, but I really just used her as an excuse to buy dolls 😂💕) Hbu?! Who was ur first?
@@Clawdeena9 mine was 13 wishes Gigi grant,i got her in 2014 for my birthday🌟💖
This video was amazing!! The facts are so intriguing and interesting...Like, Cleo's backstory?! And I think I prefer Clawdeena9 instead of Howleena9 😛💖
You're right we will play like that reboot never happened.
I didn’t even know they had back stories of how they died. I thought all the Monster High characters were just monsters their whole life. wow I wanna hear more about their back stories now and how they died.
I love Monster high 🥺❤️
AMAZING! I never new any of the thing at all!
Love these videos! When monster high was hot and fresh, I was simply too young to remember a lot, I now being in my teens have started to go back to Monster High! I wanted to a few years ago but I didn't want to be teased by my family or anything, now Idgaf if people think it's strange Monster High is amazing! I'm really sad I never got a chance to get any of the dolls, I hope someday they make the dolls like they used to. I also love the stop motion of your character! Very cute and clean!
Clawdeena! Hii! I'm new to the channel and I just wanted to say I Love your channel Ghoul! Definitly one of my top 3 channels of all time! 💞
I love Draculara even more because I was adopted by my dad. But my biological mother is still alive and I love her for what she did for my brother and I
Genderbend Venus and Twyla probably weren’t genderbent. It’s probably their dad’s since the Boogyman is typically seen as a male figure and (I’m pretty sure) Venus and, in turn, her dad were based off of Audrey 2 from Little Shop of Horrors, who’s a male man-eating plant.
