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?!

I hate how they have to tone down deeper and darker storylines and made it family-friendly to target towards younger kids and...yes Karens

Love how the community ignores the reboot, it makes me very happy haha

holy shit i did not expect cleo de nile's extremely traumatic backstory

A GENDERBEND VENUS FLYTRAP?! 😳🌱

The original freaky fusion sounds so much better than what we got

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!!!!!

the youngest student is frankie, she is 15 days old lol

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.

“Talk is cheap. No unlike Toralei’s earrings” SHE REALLY DID THAT

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!

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.

the fact that draculaura is adopted makes me like her even more because so am i, so now i see her on another level

Draculaura is adopted !?! , Casta is the daughter of cersei !?! And freaky fusion was gana be in the 50s ?!? MY LIFE IS A LIEEE

Valentine’s and Casta’s brother’s plot would’ve been so good! 😭

I'm a little disappointed that the 3rd gorgon sister didn't get a monster high child and manny and iris are also inspired by greek mythology

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.

Honestly, I would have loved to see freaky fusion set in the 50's because of the fact that we get to see more parents of the monsters.

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.

The original basic Draculaura doll was an aesthetic. She was so beautiful!

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.

Not gonna lie, the thought of Ghoulia being a zombie toddler is adorable! I need that to be a doll now!

Why is the concept of "Freaky Fusion" so much like the movie Back to the Future?🤔

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.

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 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

Cleo's backstory is so tragic! She probably lost her mom out there. It's really sad :(

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

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...

Cleo is iconic. Periodt 😌🤚

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

I love how clawdeena knows all of these facts and theories

This list left us with "if only.."

Lili Martinez should be praised for designing the monster high gang

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’m not surprised about ghoulia being born a zombie tbh bc of the way she speaks

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!

if clawdeena likes my comment, i'm gonna die of happiness

Woah - Cleo and Draculaura's backstories are so interesting yet traumatic! I feel so bad for those ghouls.

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.

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..

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!!!!

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

AHHHHGGG I LOVE CLAWDEENA SPEAKING SPANISH. P.D: My Slowmo has the wolf hands, I thought it was normal LoL

I love how Clawdeena's doll is always dressed up more as a baddie then Clawdeena herself

I did not expect Cleo's backstory to feature anything that intense. That is very interesting and I hope they do stuff like that in the new release.

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

So Frankie is technically a teen mom.. interesting

Casta Fierce reminds me of lady Gaga and catty Catty Noir reminds me of Ariana Grande-

Yes I love ur Channel! You always spill the tea!!! I love monster high and ever after high!!!

Literally I just want the diaries 😭 they are so sad

10:13 the prototypes look weird.. I'm glad they changed them

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. 💖💖💖💖

wow! i wished they talked more about cleo’s experience before she died in mh. itd be so interesting

I'm so happy that Monster high is still being talked about!

"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

@1:51 *Ryu:* Talk is cheap! *Cleo* *de* *Nile:* Not unlike Toralei's earings! *Ryu:* Huh?

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."

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 🥰

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.

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)

I would’ve loved that freak fusion idea, it seems way more interesting and bit more like they could relate

I can't believe that Draculaura is adopted! I always thought Dracula was her biological dad! ;-;

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 ❤💜

YESSSS keep up the amazing content gurl! This is amazing

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.

Incredible facts, and such an Amazing video as usual .🧛🏻‍♀️ Clawdeena never disappoints , 🖤 Thank you for Sharing! ⛓🥀

I love this video. Make a part 2.

Thank you so much for always being clawsome!!! You were my fav KZfaqr since 2016 and this year I’m starting a KZfaq channel because you inspired me!!!!

Frankie is the youngest..... she’s announced 16 DAYS old

I love Monster high 🥺❤️

“The reboot *NEVER* happened” I agree with that statement on a very VERY high level.

This was amazing, always happy to see such informative videos of yours. I love the monster high ones especially!🖤💖

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 :)

You're right we will play like that reboot never happened.

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!

Hi clawdeena!! I love your vids and I love the fact that you are unapologetically yourself! I hope that you continue to make videos because they are the highlight of my day! - a fan❤️

The fact valentine was gay OMG for some reason I find that cute

Could you go over spectras backstory in more depth she’s one of my favorite characters

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! 💞

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!❤️

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 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.)

I loved it when you talked about el dia de muertos, you sound so lovely ;w;

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!

WAIT A MINUTE...If Draculaura knew she was adopted, why did she believe she was the queen of vampires ?

Love this type of videos. Also love you too Clawdeena9, you rock! ❤️

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 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.😂

Hi clawdeena, who was Your first Monster high doll ?💖

Ooh i love frankie’s greaser dad concept!

luv ya clawdeena luv ya rainbow high tea vids

And I thought I was an og and I didn’t even know my favorite ghoul was adopted. Probably because I never read the diaries

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

I’ve been binge watching all your videos! SO ENTERTAINING 🧛‍♀️

This was soo good! I watch tons of MH stuff and there are still things I didn't know
