==Plot==
SPOILERS AHEAD
 
Rachel Finster is a half-werewolf half-human biracial girl, born from a human father named Arlo and a werewolf mother named Sabrina (who passed away for unknown reasons). Due to being part monster, Rachel spent her whole life in the world of humans hiding from people. On Rachel's 15th Birthday, she received an invitation to study on Enchatria High, a high school for monsters that her mother used to attend. Although reluctant, Arlo agrees to let her attend the school, but warns her that she must hide her human side, because humans are considered monster's biggest threats and only "true monster hearts" are allowed in the school.
Once arriving at Enchatria High, which is a living school, Rachel finally feels like she belongs to somewhere ("Coming Out of The World"), she befriends Wendy Wonders, a non-binary frankenmonster, who is just 15 days old with a brilliant brain and develops a crush on Keith Evans, son of Medusa and Lyra. She also meets Lori Creaser, daughter of Lenny who is pressured by her father to be a top student, Judy von Puckett, daughter of the Mummy, the school's Queen Bee and Keith's ex-girlfriend, Gina Miller, Colombian daughter of the Sea Monster and a Sea Nymph and Judy's best friend, and the Zombie Elsa McMorgan who helps her find her dormitory. The school's Headmistress Dora Goodway, invites Rachel to speak at a dinner with the Enchatria High Council on Founder’s Day to represent the students, to which she agrees.
During her time in Enchatria High, Rachel discovers that she temporarily transforms into a full human when she feels strong emotions like fear or nervousness. On her first class, her new professor Mr. Keantos teaches the students about the history of Enchatria High and how humans are hated by monsters. He tells them the story of Gregory "Greg" Keantos, a half-human half-monster former student who was expelled from the school when his human side was discovered and got killed by human hunters, which makes Rachel fears even more about getting discovered ("True Monster Heart"). She learns from Keantos that Hyde created a formula that could transform a half-human half-monster into a full-blooled monster, but he never tested it due to being expelled before he could. Rachel decides to find and drink the formula so no one will find out her secret and researches Hyde, but she starts transforming into a human even more, only to be discovered by Wendy. While briefly freaked out, Wendy doesn't shun Rachel. Instead, they help her find Hyde's secret lab, which is apparently located in the school's graveyard. Upon arriving there, they discover Lori practicing witchcraft, something since witches and vampires have been at war for centuries. Wendy and Rachel promise to keep her abilities a secret and Lori helps the two in their mission. They discover a place that apparently is the lab, but it has a lock that only a certain hand can open it ("Three of Us").
Lori discovers a spell that might unlock the opening, but one of the ingredients is ogre's bone, which is what the Headmistress' cup is made of. Rachel goes to her office to get pieces of the cup and is nearly caught by Judy, but Lori manages to transform her into Goodway so Judy would think it's the actual Goodway. Another ingredient is snake's venom, which Rachel obtains from one of Keith's snakes in his hair. of Keith's snakes in his hair. On their walk, Deuce tells Rachel how gorgons aren't always monsters to trust, making the two fall in love and bond ("Trust"). Later at night, the trio try the spell, but it doesn't work . They return to school but are caught in act by Principal Dora Goodway, Mr. Keantos and Judy, who told Goodway about Lori practicing witchcraft. Suddenly the school starts to quake and Rachel saves Judy from getting crushed by a falling gargoyle. Principal Dora Goodway realizes that the school is screaming for help because there is an "untrue monster heart" among them (probably a human) and if they don't find out who it is the whole school might fall apart.
Feeling she's putting her friends and everyone else in danger, Clawdeen leaves at night in sadness and returns to the human world ("Coming Out of The World (Reprise)"). Lori and Wendy find her the next day, claiming they are her friends and will help her no matter what. They then discover that Rachel's human hand can open the entrance of the room in the graveyard (since Hyde was also half-human) and manage to do it on the night of the Founder’s Day dinner. The place, at first, appears to be only an ogre's tomb. However, they discover a secret door and finally find Keantos's secret lab and the formula. Rachel is about to drink it but is reluctant about giving up on her ‘other half’, her father. Suddenly Mr. Keantos to find them, revealing he is half-human as well. He tells Rachel giving up on yourself isn't the answer and there's a better way. She gives him the formula. However, Mr. Keantos drinks the formula instead, revealing himself to be actually Hyde's son Gregory "Greg" Keantos, Jr. who seeks to destroy Enchatria High and the humans to avenge his father's death. The formula transforms Keantoss into a full-blooded monster with the power to absorb the monsters' powers, he takes Lori's vampire abilities, leaving her weak. After locking Keantos in the lab, Rachel tells Wendy to go live, since she doesn't know how to call people, in order to get help. Judy and Gina see the live and tells Deuce, who informs the adults, and arrives to the cemetery with Elsa, Timmy Plasience, Zee Kazaam and Abby Snowglode. The trio is able to escape using with the rest of Lori's unlocking spell.
Once the teenagers are outside, Mr. Keantos manages to escape and steals Keith's gorgon powers, transforming the former into stone. Rachel, heartbroken, transforms into a full human, much to the other teenagers' shock. Much to her surprise, they don't shun Rachel, and Judy gives her her phone to make Mr. Keantos look into his reflection on the selfie camera, transforming him into stone and, in result, returning Lori's and Deuce's powers, bringing Keith back to life in the process. Principal Dora Goodway, Lenny, and the Enchatria High Council arrive in time to discover, not only Mr. Keantos's true intentions, but Rachel's secret as well.
The next day, Arlo arrives at Enchatria High to pick up Rachel, who has transformed back into a werewolf, so they can return to the human world. To both their surprise, Principal Dora Goodway claims she's not expelling Rachel because she has shown she has a ‘true monster heart’, and Lenny states that they are doing some rewriting to the school's charter as not all humans are bad. The monsters welcome Rachel as their first official human-blooded student. Lenny allows Lori to practice witchcraft, and Deuce runs for Student Council, The three friends celebrate Rachel's stay at Enchatria High with the rest of the school, Lenny, and Arlo ("No Apologies").
In some other place, a mysterious witch is watching everything through a crystal ball, planning to get rid of the vampires as she instructs her minions to bring Lori to her.

==Production==
Before the announcement of the 2032 live-action film, there was an previous attempt at making a live-action Enchatria Girls movie made in 2030, the year the Enchatria Girls franchise was launched, Universal Pictures announced that a live-action, around-the-world adventure, ten chapter Enchatria Girls musical movie would be directed by Ari Sandel, scheduled to be released on June 5, 2026 and was listed in development, However, nothing was heard about Universal's attempt since then and is unknown if any aspects from this concept will be carried over to the 2032 version.
In 2031, Mattel announced the return of the Enchatria Girls brand, promising new content and products in 2032. Mattel Television announced a new animated series and a live-action movie based on the franchise. Both projects will air on Nickelodeon in the United States in 2032. On November 11, 2031, It was announced that the new live-action Enchatria Girls movie is being directed by Todd Holland (who directed 50 episodes of The Larry Sanders Show and 26 episodes of Malcolm in the Middle) and will star Chloe Coleman as Rachel Finster, Miya Cech as Wendy Wonders, and Jadia Grace as Lori Creaser

'Enchatria Girls' filming at the VAG A month later, on December 19, 2031, filming wrapped.

BIG thank u to every talented artist who helped create this spooky universe for us to live in. see all u specters and girls in 2032 🕸✨"
==Criticism==
The film and the reboot in general have been criticized for multiple reasons, such as Todd Holland being considered a bad choice as director because of Krippendorf's Tribe, the castings of Jy Prishkulnik, a pale Israeli woman, as Cleo, a tanned Egyptian character, and Miia Harris as Clawdeen (though the photos many people use were actually doctored to look lighter, images from Vidcon show she is the same shade as most of Clawdeen's dolls), with claims of whitewashing. There has also been criticism about racebending characters, playing into potential stereotypes, and nationalism, particularly with the casting of Nayah Damasen, a Filipina, as Draculaura, a Romanian, and Nasiv Sall, an Indian, as Abbey, a Russian, which in combination with the removal of Slavic influences and their accents (and people noticing how Deuce remains Greek, and how Lagoona, while no longer Australian, was not made American), has lead to claims of potential Americanization, anti-Russian sentiment, anti-Romanian sentiment, general anti-Slavic sentiment, and nationalism. Similar criticisms came to casting Lina Lecompte as Lagoona, and changing her from Australian to Colombian, the potential promotion of the "violent Latino" stereotype, due to her scene where she snarls and threatens to eat Deuce, with people wondering if it will be a running gag for her in future. Many disabled, non-verbal, and autistic fans have not taken nicely to making Ghoulia able to talk and getting rid of her limp. Some have also disliked Frankie being non-binary. Many of these casting choices people have mentioned could have gone to new characters, or using pre-existing Asian and Latina characters, such as Skelita Calaveras, Jinafire Long, Kiyomi Haunterly, Euna, Batsy Claro, and Marisol Coxi, with many people seeing it as lazy.
