Monster High is a school for creatures of all kinds. Headmistress Bloodgood hopes that normies will attend Monster High in the future. She and many other students/staff want peace among all living (and undead) beings. Maybe one day, Monster High will have more than monsters walking the halls and bring unity between all individuals. After all, the students did bring arch enemies, Werewolves and Vampires, together. Who knows who they will bring together next...

The behind-the-screams video was also made available for viewing.
Monster High has also had several TV specials on Nickelodeon, including New Ghoul @ School, Fright On!, Why Do Ghouls Fall in Love, and Escape from Skull Shores.
Dolls[]
The dolls are 24 cm (11 inches for the male dolls) tall and have slightly oversized heads, doe eyes, and small noses. Their bodies are made from ABS plastic, while their heads are made from soft PVC. They have various skin tones (blue, green, pink, etc.) and each character has a unique head mold. Their hair is made of saran or kanekalon fibers, though the male dolls occasionally have molded plastic hair. The doll bodies are fully articulated, with removable forearms and hands.
Aside from physical attributes, the dolls are quite different in the characterization of their clothes. All of them have various attributes of the monsters they are related to (i.e. fangs, stitches, wolf ears, fins, bandages, etc.).
