#monster high frightmares

In honor of my Monster Ball Twyla post from last year (almost) reaching 1000 notes 🥳

I was gonna wait until it did but being 3 notes away from posting this has been driving me insane

A hypothetical Twyla doll inspired by real-life fashion, luna moths, and one of my personal favorite niche Monster High lines

Monster High Monster Mash! Round 3: Frightmares

This is a poll in the Monster High Monster Mash! All other polls in can be found here.

Got some things at a flea market! I found a Frightmare (the only MH thing I could find lol), this Ariel, and a few sets of doll clothes!

I talked the lady down to $5 for Ariel, and the Frightmare was a couple bucks. I found the perfect dress for my grey werewolf at least! I just wish the seller had MH clothing so it would fit better lol. I also found a cute knit top and bottoms for Lagoona

I don’t usually get dolls besides MH dolls, but I saw this Ariel and it unlocked a memory. I had her when I was really small ^^

Mini Review of Issue 2 and the Halloween Special IDW Comic

Since I STILL have not had any time to actually make my usual deep dive reviews: I still wanted to get out my quick thoughts on the newest MH comic issues.

Issue 2:

the artwork is still really good (just under the lovely artwork from “I Put a Spell on You”), and done by the same artist from the first issue. There are some great cameos:

Moanica D’Kay is mentioned as wanting to try out for the Cheer Squad, but didn’t show (which was such a let down- she would definitely add something to this series).

Seth Ptolemy (but he’s supposedly dating Nefera…?)

Cleo’s mom is actually alive and around her family MUCH earlier than what “Cleo De Nile and the Creeperific Mummy Makeover” book implied).

Honey Swamp (I don’t believe she was attending Monster High, unless she is a new transfer student there). Catrine, Rochelle, Invisi Billy, Sarah, Cleo’s G1 Vanity, Twyla, Skelita, Robecca, Venus, Heath, LOTHAR(?!?!), Deuce, Jackson, Nefera, Catty, Jinafire, Wydowna, Gil, Lagoona, Jane Boolittle, Eyera, Valentine, Spelldon, CA Cupid, Iris, Lorna, Bonita, Sirena, Holt, Operetta, Spectra are al background characters that show up in this (which is fun to see). The writing is still….not hitting for me personally. Maybe if this was someone’s first entry to G1 Monster High, or if they are much younger than I am. It hasn’t completely turned me off from reading it, so I’ll probably pick up the third issue too. But I am still getting hints of Riverdale in my Monster High (or Lisi Harrison’s Monster High).

Basically, Cleo is upset that Deuce is not groveling at her feet to get her back (she broke it off in the book). BECAUSE Clawdeen “flirted and is still flirting with Deuce.” AND I HATE THIS SO MUCH IN SO MANY WAYS. They have already done the break up multiple times, and Clawdeen and Deuce are literally just looking at each other or just talking. She literally doesn’t have any chemistry with G1 Deuce (Operetta or ROCHELLE as a love “rival” would have been much more interesting to explore with if they wanted to bring this up….again).

Frankie is just wanting the ghouls to patch things up with everyone and is super excited for the cheer try outs.

Frankie’s dad is still the new headmaster; he is drowning in headmaster duties, is super tired, still kinda ignoring Frankie’s interests, and tells her to not go out after sun-up (which was never an issue in any of the other G1 canon….but whatever). And his face IS STILL IN SHADOW.

Draculaura is still stressed out. Clawdeen is here. Toralei is still angry at Clawdeen for some reason, the were twins are still only fanging out with Cleo, Ghoulia is being left behind/taken for granted by Cleo (again, don’t like that they have basically gotten rid of all of Cleo characterization and put her back to season 1 of the webseries) and looks like the “people in the cloaks” are going to start targeting her.…oh joy…

The cheer try outs are successful and Sarah, Iris, Frankie, Cleo, Clawdeen, Draculaura are all under Toralei’s cheer squad this scaremester.

Cleo is still not happy and goes to cry in the library, where Ghoulia is also hiding out.

Okay, now for the Halloween Special (I was expecting a better pun title, but oh well):

Also! There is only ONE story in this comic: “Maze of Frightmares” (not unevenly split between two stories like the Pride Issue). I liked this aspect.

The artwork is different than any of the other comics. It’s much rougher and sketchy, the colors are dingier, but I really like it (probably third favorite after I Put a Spell on You and Issue 1-2). I think Frankie’s dad looks the best here. Also, it looks like the third issue of Monster High has been moved to next month, instead of releasing this month as well.

The cameos are non-existence (there might be Gigi Grant in one panel, but all the backgrounders are new). Elvira is giving out costume prizes. There are fun some references: Ghoulia as Deadfast and Clawdeen as her Scarily Ever After doll.

The other costumes are either a pun: Manny as a “cowboy” and Clawd is “a wolf in sheep’s clothing.” Deuce is a Roman gladiator, Cleo is Bastet/a black cat, Frankie is a detective, Slo Mo is a hockey player, Draculaura is princess? Vampire queen? Victorian lady??, and Toralei is an 80’s hair metal/rock star.

Again, I’m not a fan of the story, despite it being nice that the story is the whole issue. It feels like it jumps around a bit or some of the ideas/jokes are not fully fleshed out or just dumped. Draculaura and Headmaster Frankenstein decide to throw a Halloween Carnival for all the ghouls to keep them occupied during this “boring normie holiday.” ….i remember it being time to be afraid of Normies and then after a party at Monster High did it end up being a fun party celebrating their scaritage….but okay, let’s see what happens here. They also mostly call Normies: Humans. Also, I miss the crazy amount of puns that “Summer Fangout” and G1 in general uses.

Clawdeen is afraid that all of the costumes she designed are actually bad (she also designed something for Lagoona, but she never shows up). Cleo is trying to get Deuce to notice her (the werecat twins are there, but only speak off panel). Draculaura is worried people are not going to like all the activities (apparently she is afraid of fair rides and mazes too..?)

Ghoulia, Clawd, Frankie and Deuce are there. Slo Mo is also (sometimes) present.

Manny is suddenly super quiet and self conscious (he is still really bad at mazes). He reminds me more of the G3 version. They all decide to run through the maze to see who can get through it the fastest and they all end up living their frightmares (because Headmaster Frankenstein designed it that way…somehow…he also designed a bunch of the games and prizes including x-ray glasses that NEVER COME INTO PLAY besides confirming Slo Mo and any other students in the maze have dispersed). Cleo becomes invisible, Frankie and Manny start talking a lot to one another (and I thought Frankie was just trying to be her encouraging self) BUT CLAWDEEN SAYS THAT THEY ARE FLIRTING AND PUSHES HER TO DO IT MORE (?!?!??!). It is thankfully interrupted by Frankie falling apart (I don’t know why that is Frankie’s worse nightmare, she’s always falling apart and has often used it to her advantage…maybe it’s in front of a guy she wants to impress and I can think of FOUR OTHER GUYS IN CANON THAY FIT THAT BILL: Jackson, Holt, Andy, and Neighthan). Then the flirting is never brought up again…except them hugging at the end. Clawdeen thinks she overhears/sees Toralei calling her fashion sense terrible and Frankie tells her that they are “fine.” Draculaura sees HER DEAD FATHER and he pushes her away and says she is not doing 100% on everything (he brings up Halloween as a day where normies wreck havoc on monsters). Those are the only ones that have frightmares and it’s solved when Dracualaura turns into a bat and flies up to lead them out (in a very unclear two page spread).

Toralei complements Clawdeen’s talent and doesn’t seem to have a chip on her shoulder like in the main issues (and in G1 canon in general). Headmaster Frankenstein congratulates everyone and then freaks out that students are missing.

Elvira gives Ghoulia third place (apparently Clawdeen made her outfit, not Ghoulia herself), Cleo second, and Frankie Stein is first (I smell NEPOTISM).

It ends with Ghoulia freaking out where her boyfriend is, students missing, Headmaster Frankenstein having a meltdown, and Cleo saying that she guesses she won’t sneak out (there was a bet on who would get out of the maze last would have to sneak out to a Normie Party). womp womp….so many meh feelings

So far my personal rankings for the Comics:

I Put a Spell on You (from The Pride Issue)

Issue 1

Issue 2

Free Comic Book Issue: https://www.tumblr.com/taybatwo2/754406016295321600/monster-high-idw-comics-review-part-13-the-fcbd?source=share

Halloween Special

Summer Fangout (from the Pride Issue)

They are still firmly in their own G1 canon continuity (with the Once Bitten Book - see my Free Comic Book Issue Review to see how I have tried to sort out the mess that is G1 canon), and it’s definitely not my favorite G1 “series.”

I rank the different books/animated series:

1. The Doll Diaries/Diary Book Series/UK’s Figure Mini Diaries

2. The 13 CGI movies

3. The Webseries

4. The two original Graphic Novels

5. The Ghoulfriend’s Book Series

6. The IDW Comics

7. The Lisi Harrison Books

I have not read the Once Bitten book yet (but I’m going to guess it would be towards the bottom).

Well, what are your guys’ thoughts?? Are you/will you read them?? Are you just going to wait for my longer reviews or the collected edition?? Am I completely off my mark on these comics??

✨Golden tears✨

Meet Rhoswen! Her name means ‘white rose’, and she’s inspired by medieval tapestries of unicorns fighting/being hunted. I wanted to kind of go back to the traditional concept of unicorns which is pretty dark. Her arms, legs, and torso are completely resculpted and i also shrunk her head to make it more proportional. I really love her thick white lashes and all her fluff!!! I’m submitting her to my school’s art show but after that she’ll be on my Etsy, ThisOneWinter.

Headcanon: G3 Manny secretly watches My Little Fright-Mares: Frighting is Magic show and his favorite fright-mare is Frets Quartzmane

[random-monster-high-lore]

Fright-Mares are a centaur type of monster that inhabit the Dream Pastures, manifested through a rain of stars when a monster has a dream that collides with a nightmare.

There were twelve that we know of, including:

Pyxis Prepstockings - pegasus

Frets Quartzmane - gargoyle

Bay Tidechaser - sea monster

Aery Evenfall - skeleton

Fawntine Fallowhart - deer

Skyra Bouncegait - ghost

Penepole Steamtail - butterfly

Flara Blaze - phoenix/fire elemental

Caprice Whimcanter - dragonfly

Olympia Wingfield - vampire/bat

Merry Trotabout - carousel horse

Meadoe Flurry - yeti

There were two more planned to be created (one griffon-based and one dragon-based), but were cancelled due to the reboot.

Journal Entry

Cenna - The Traveling Pygmy Faun

“You giants drop so many interesting things, Like this… actually what is this?

 ~Cenna - Traveling Pygmy Faun

                                                                 Little Big Adventures

“After the Giant had fallen asleep, she quietly moved from the treeline and made her way into their camp. Rummaging through their satchel, she found so many curios objects, surely one of them could help her village."

                                                      ==========================

The Pygmy Faun are a very rare species of faun, they are no larger than a coin purse and are almost never seen due to their small stature and wariness of giants “Humans”.

Cenna is one of the brave few of her kind that voluntarily leave the safety of their hidden village to travel the world in search of items that could benefit her tribe. Being so small, this is often a perilous undertaking, especially when the giants are said to guard the most valuable items. But what if one was to befriend a giant…
