The Lost Movie
In 2012, Why Do Ghouls Fall in Love? was C.A. Cupid's first appearance in a Monster High movie. Soon afterwards, the Monster High website announced that Cupid would be transferring to a new school to help more people find their "true heart's desires".

In 2013, Cupid appeared in the Ever After High webisode titled "Here Comes Cupid", confirming that she transferred to Ever After High.
The same year, another Monster High movie titled 13 Wishes was released, and many fans noticed that it contained several Ever After High Easter eggs. One of these Easter eggs was a flashback scene featuring Jiles Grimm, brother to Milton Grimm, the headmaster of Ever After High! @thesewordsofm-i-n-e has a post from the time of this movie's release that pictures said Easter eggs, linked below!

In 2016, yet another Monster High movie Boo York, Boo York provided much more than Ever After High Easter eggs. At the very end, a ghoul named Astronova is on a FaceTime call with two of her friends, telling them that all the worlds they thought were fiction are actually real. Then we see the people on call are none other than Raven Queen and Apple White.
Mattel had allegedly planned for a Monster High/Ever After High crossover movie to release in 2016, under the working title Feary Tale. However, due to Disney's feud with Mattel causing a domino effect that ultimately killed Ever After High and the first generation of Monster High, Feary Tale was never finished.
Interestingly, the Monster High YouTube channel-- which has since been renamed "Mattel Imagine"-- posted short clips of Feary Tale storyboards on May 6, 2016, and according to the Ever After High main Wikipedia page, the franchise didn't officially end until October 7, 2016. The storyboard clips are presented as part of a miniseries in which Draculaura and Clawdeen Wolf go to a cinema and watch a new Hauntlywood film titled The Lost Movie.
In 2017, Little Brown published the final Ever After High book, The Legend of Shadow High by Shannon Hale and Dean Hale. This book was essentially a replacement for The Lost Movie, except it used lore from MH: G2, which kind of accidentally dismissed all the build-up that Mattel had been putting into the Monster High movies and Ever After High webisodes. It's still a good book but it's not exactly the crossover everyone expected.
So where does this leave us now, with Ever After High having been cancelled for a decade and Monster High in its third generation? Well, Cupid's inclusion in MH: G3 has given some fans hope for a second generation of Ever After High, considering Cupid was the first one to bridge the two franchises together.
Other fans, including myself, mourn what Feary Tale could have been. But not all hope is lost, because in addition to the storyboards on YouTube, plenty of concept art has been recovered over the years.
Feary Tale would be the movie of the crossover of Mattel's Monster High and Ever After High and was to be the fourteenth TV special of Monst
With storyboards and concept art from Feary Tale, as well as The Legend of Shadow High, talented fans have already begun reconstructing The Lost Movie. For example, YouTuber @drawing4fun re-animated the entire labyrinth scene!
@crunchyorochiru has an animatic that combines plot points from The Lost Movie and The Legend of Shadow High!
And creator @butterflycolours just recently assembled a team of fan animators in hopes of re-animating the entire movie!
There are several video essays on YouTube explaining The Lost Movie in more detail than I ever could, simply because I am relatively new to both fandoms. I encourage you to do your own research, read The Legend of Shadow High, and support artists who are trying to bring this crossover back to life!
