Rankings

1) Fright On - This by far the best take on discrimination and inclusivity that Monster High touches upon, the classic conflict between the vampires and werewolves plays well specially because the puts Draculaura, Clawd, Howleen and Clawdeen in such a strange place with their loyalty being tested by their respected groups more so the first three than Clawdeen. Howleen's introduction lends itself well to the conflict as Van hel Scream prays on on Howleen's insecurities in her trying to find a place to fit in and her need to not be in Clawdeen's shadow. Van Hel Scream plan to stop Monster High progression in order to keep the Monster's in a statous quo is probably most on the surface thing that imposes what Monster High's ideals is excellent. Also Abbey Saves the day like the bad bitch she is and will do 5 more times in other movies.

2) Ghouls Rule - I'm a sucker for Halloween themed focus movies, and Monster High is perfect for this. This movie is how the conflict between the monsters and humans  should be, the monsters should able to exist alongside the humans it not be a thing were they need to hide from them and humans should be able to find out for themselves if the monsters aren't any different from them, not this mob of want to destroy something they don't know. Frankie's plan to get the monsters and humans to come to a common ground like it's supposed to be while saving Holt/Jackson was excellent.

3) 13 Wishes - The progression that Howleen goes through in wanting to not be seen as Clawdeen and Clawd's little sister and Whisp praying on her insecurities and warping her into the worst version of herself just to get her closer to her goal is kinda dark and makes her one of Monster High's most serious villains. Howleen being reminded who she is and coming to terms that she doesn't need popularity and that she's fine with the ghouls that love her for who is was perfect character development.

4) Boo York, Boo York - Now here's movie it's duo of a Cleo and Catty lead movie which in itself was pretty interesting Nefera and Ramses basically trying to gaslight Cleo and Deuce in order to push themselves into power was great conflict and threat that ghouls have to stop. It also gives Cleo and Deuce's relationship much development and proves that their relationship more just a vapid popular rich girl and the cool captain of sports team stereotypical relationship, Cleo cares about Deuce regardless of what her family thinks of Deuce and all that matters what she thinks of him and Deuce just wanting the best for Cleo and just her to have the relationship she deserves ugh i love them. Catty trying to reclaim her love for music, while trying write a song about love while not her being in love and graining back her love for music as well as finding love with Pharaoh who also stands up for wanting pursue his passion despite it's not the path his his mother wants him to do. Lagoona is pretty much not exsistant in this movie, also people Toralei and Catty because of this movie and I'm like why.

5) Scaris City of Frights - Clawdeen is one of my two favorites so naturally you know I'm down for a Clawdeen focused movie. Clawdeen's need to conform to specific rules of fashion that was dictated by so this old white ghost woman kinda hits home considering she three WOC coded monsters competing to can best conform to her rules of fashion while planning on stealing their designs and pass it off her her own. Jinafire and Skelita were perfect additions to the Monster High cast roster and not to mention the diversity (while not perfect) was great on their ends. The subplot with Frankie, Rochelle, and Ghoulia trying to find out what about to Rocelle's boyfriend Garret and it ties back into the main plot was great.

6) Frights, Camera, Action - Usually draculaura focused movies are usually aren't it for me the most part but this story was kinda fun and Draculaura doing something special for vampire kind and saving Vampire Court and thus earning her full vampire powers was such a good pay off Lord Stolker is actually a good villain and I do like that Elissabat will get to rule as vampire queen under her terms and not Stolkers. Sidenote Elissabat is a dramatic as bitch and I love, also shout to the Usagi background monster.

7) Haunted - A Spectra focused movie was actually pretty good, I think listened in this movie was good one rumors are fun but it's very important that rumors harm people and that reporting the truth isn't boring and it can difference in good journalism. Also forcing people take your punishment doesn't absolve you from that bad things you've down. Principal Revenant was a perfect antagonist for Spectra and Clawdeen is once again the most loyalist monster you ever met.

8) New Ghoul at School - Perfect why to introduces the audience to the world of Monster high, the introduction of the characters was done well. Frankie was an interesting character to follow.

9) Friday Night Frights - I like this movie the ghouls standing up to not only save their school, the school's moral and against misogyny from male students and male rival Scream players from other teams. Clawd was highkey annoying in the first half but I'm glad he came around and Rocelle and Robecca's introduction was one of best characters introductions in the series. The plan to set Toralei up was genius.

10) Escape From Skull Shores - First I love the main seven ghouls and Gil going on spring break which is a nice thing, Andy deserved to be a more major character because he's and interesting character and his back story was good. the treat of the movie was great it was not only just on skull island but back at monster high which I felt was passed well. Now Gil in this movie was highkey annoying in this movie and him judging Lagoona's parents and where came from makes him sound like his racist parents and it was not it. Also Rocelle is in this movie but she's probably introduced in Friday Night Frights as she wasn't yet at Monster High oh goofs.

11) Why Do Ghouls Fall in Love? - I just thought this movie was just alright. I know it's Draculaura's birthday but I just think being a bit childish with Clawd, like i know Clawd isn't perfect but I thought he was trying and seems like Draculaura was kinda asking to much of Clawd but movie does reaform that they are my Monster High otp. The treat was pretty decent and the Ghouls coming together to save Draculaura was so presh.

12) Freaky Fusion - First let me say I like the idea's of the fusions, I like So Much Confusion that song was a bop, I like Frankie's plot of knowing about her family, and I like the hybrids. Now that said this movie was pretty meh to me, The fusions being helped by the hybrids in controlling their fusion forms never made sense to me because the hybrids are just one entity with different Monster heritages which is not the same two entities controlling one monster body, Mr. Ware was totally unfair to Frankie for assignment like wtf, also Abbey had like very little role to almost none is criminal. Also FRANKIE DIED OMFG.

13) Welcome To Monster High - Again the reboot was such a disappointment with changing established lore, changing characters, cutting characters and the switch to making Draculaura the lead over Frankie was a big mistake in my opinion because it takes away the uniqueness of being introduced to the world of Monster High along with Frankie with both the audience and Frankie coming understand the way Monster High works. With Draculaura as the lead this not only removed the interesting take Dracula had on the Monster society but it also gives Draculaura this the world revolves around me because Monster High was collective that me and my friends have. The monster and human relationship takes an unnecessary X-Men mutants must go into hiding but worse. Now there are things I like about the reboot I like Moan'ica and how her views and draculaura's views clash on how monsters should exist alongside humans is interesting. I like certain style changes like Cleo bandages are more apart of her mummy make up. Justice for Ghoulia and Abbey

14) Great Scarier Reef - Wow a film in the Original series lower than one of the reboot films, shocking I know. This movie just wasn't interesting and this wreaked of this movie is for saling mermaid theme dolls. This movie focus on Lagoona who deserved a better a better movie focus. The conflict of this movie just feels very childish and I think other movies in the series handled the bullying plot better. Purrsephone and Meowlody def talk shit about Toralei.

15) Electrified - The reboot was such a disappointment so much because of what it took away from certain characters and the lore that already existed for Monster High. As much as I do actually like Moan'ica I just thought the treat was just wasn't it. Also remember the reboot tried to make Ari the six member of their group and than they dropped her.
