Lore from the Live Action Movie
- The only native snake species to Monster High’s ecosystem is a giant swamp viper but they’re 40 feet long “and tend to bite your head off if you get too close”
- Monster High was built in 1071 to be a safe place for all monsters to be their true selves.
- Frankie’s brain is made up of parts from Albert Einstein, Marie Curie, Plato, Elizabeth Feinler, and Alan Turing. Their heart is from a fisherman named Earl. Their spleen is from Shakespeare. Their thigh is from their uncle, Phil Hermiton. Their hand is from Frida Kahlo.
- There was a war in 1320, dubbed “The Great War,” which was significant enough to be studied in Monster History Class.
- There is a book called A Tale of Two Coffins, an allusion to the Charles Dickens book, A Tale of Two Cities.
- Vampires have been at war with witches for centuries.
- The Monster High mascot is the Demons.
- There were many centuries of conflict between dragons and monsters prior to 1375, when the Dragon Treaty of 1375 was created. Causes of conflict between dragons and other monsters: language barriers & no means of communication with remote dragon groups, food scarcity during the middle ages, expansion of human territories forcing dragons to leave their hunting grounds, differing hierarchal systems.
- Dracula, Selena Wolf (Clawdeen’s mom), and Eddy Hyde were all apparently friends prior to Hyde’s half-human heritage being revealed.
- There are nocturnal students who attend night classes at Monster High.
- Zombies (or, at least, Ghoulia) sleep in graveyards, in graves.
- There are students/monsters who eat limbs, like the ones taken from the Monster Biology lab.
- The school is alive. It can respond to questions about where places are, create warnings on the walls made of blood, and decorate dorm rooms for students.
- There are monster-specific snacks, available in the vending machine at Monster High. These include: Stein’s root beer (mascot is a caricature of Victor Frankenstein’s monster, aka Frankie’s dad. The tagline is “It’s electric!” and apparently it is “chunky and delicious,” according to the advertisement), Sour Boos, Sour Gnomes, Ghostitos potato chips (available in both Swamp Water and Brain (?) flavors), Banshee Bites, Stuffed Newt Eyeballs, Full Moon Pie, and Choco-claws.
- Hyde kept meticulous lab journals, all written in code and marked by his signature “clasped hands”.
- In her mortal life, Cleo studied with Heka, god of magic and medicine, and can recognize an incantation that’s in front of her.
- Terrifying Trigonometry is the name of one of the school textbooks and, presumably, the name of one of the classes.
- In the monster world, football is played with a real foot, and after the game the foot is eaten.
