Monster High (Location)

## Background

Monster High is a monster school located in Salem, Oregon where all the teenage sons and daughters of famous monsters attend. Unlike other schools, it is known and respected for its monster diversity that includes species from all walks of life.

The school was founded more than 2000 years ago on the "thirteenth day of the thirteenth month" thanks to the efforts of thirteen families who left their traditional schools to establish what we know as Monster High. Due to her reputation as an excellent teacher, Nora Bloodgood was elected as the headmistress of this establishment and gladly accepted the role despite being shunned by several colleagues she once considered friends who did not agree with her vision. Now, Monster High is one of the most infamous schools in the monster world and continued to expand as more monsters from around the world began attending the school. In honor of the school's establishment there is a celebration on Friday the 13 (known as 13-13 Anniversary) to commemorate the day Monster High was formed.

### Reboot (Generation 2)

In the Monster High reboot (2016) the school's origins are vastly different than its predecessor. In the beginning, Draculaura had always wanted to live like a normal teenager despite being a monster in hiding from the human population. On the balcony of her room she and her new Frankie had thought of mad idea; wouldn't it be great to have a high school for all the teenage kids of monsters? That is when Draculaura and Frankie decided to create Monster High and gather as many young monsters as they could to attend the school from all walks of life. They put their heads together, turning Dracula's house into boarding school and convincing Dracula, Draculaura's father, to be the principal of the school, with the girls as the founding co-presidents of the school.

### Reboot (Generation 3)

In the Monster High reboot (2022) for Nickelodeon the school is a Monster High school that strictly forbids humans. Headless Headmistriss Bloodgood is the headmistress of the school and she runs the school rather strictly to protect the students from outsiders.

## School Festivities

### 13-13 Anniversary

One ceremony even included an acknowledgment party with the students of the thirteen original families there.

### Spring-Break Fair

The Spring Fair of Monster High where children play monster versions of fair games and ride on spooky rides such as the skull-designed Ferris Wheel.

### Crack And Shield Day

An entire day of outdoor activities where students can compete in games such as cry jumping (high jumping), blood curdling hurdling, and the fifty-eater sprint (fifty-meter sprint).

### Mid Evil Faire

A renaissance fair held at Monster High where students dress in costumes, buy food such as slime and kidney Pie, and engage in other medieval inspired activities. (This Faire is only mentioned in The Lost Movie).

### Home-Groaning/Homecarnage

The monster High Homecoming celebration, which like the American Homecoming, starts with a Foot Ball game (or Graveball game) and is followed by a Home "Groaning" dance. One year for Home "Groaning" the Monster High students were able to invite the Gaundice Brothers (Based on The Jonas Brothers) to perform. In the My Monster Life annual, this occasion is called a Homecarnage. The theme one year was "Screams Come True" and they wanted to transform the entire space into a graveyard.

### Prom 2014: A Night In Scaridise

The annual Monster High prom that takes place in the catacombs. Like American Proms, it involves asking someone to attend with you, dressing up fancy, and dancing the night away. The decoration theme in 2014 was Starry Nights and the food was Creepes Suzette to be served at prom as voted by Monster High fans. Catty Noir, Operetta, and Holt Hyde were all voted the entertainment that night as well. As customary at Prom, ghouls and mansters (girls and boys) are often voted for the title of Prom King or Prom Queen. Heath and Abbey were voted Prom King and Queen in 2014.

### Fraidy Hawkins Day

It is a Monster High version of the Sadie-Hawkins dance, popular in the United States on February 29 (Leap day). As customary, the girls usually ask the boys out to this dance instead of the other way around.

## Teams At Monster High

### Foot Ball (Or Grave Ball) Team

The Monster High team sport that plays similarly to American Football. This sport is said to be played with an actual foot, although this varies depending on media.

List Of Named Team Members: Clawd Wolf (Captain), Gil Webber, Manny Taur, Deuce Gorgon, Neighthon Rot, Heath Burns, Don Of The Dead

### Casketball Team

This Monster High team sport plays similarly to basketball.

List Of Named Team Members: Clawd Wolf (Captain), Deuce Gorgon, Jackson Jekyll, Heath Burns, Simon Clops, Manny Taur, Sloman "Slo Mo" Mortivitch

### Skultimate Roller Maze (SKRM) Team

SKRM is a roller derby that involves navigating a dangerous maze of obstacles to reach the finish line before the other team. A set of rules were set for the teams that compete in SKRM according to the Gory Gazette on Tumblr: "Teams consist of six players- three active and three on reserve. Teams begin the race from opposite sides of the labyrinth. Monsters must use their skates to navigate the labyrinth and all its obstacles during the race. Removal of skates by team members at any time during the race will result in an automatic forfeit. No phasing through, burrowing under, flying, climbing, or jumping over labyrinth walls.Only one team monsters must reach the center of the labyrinth to win a contest. They do not have to all reach the center at the same time. Injured team monsters may be replaced, but the replacement monster must start at the beginning of the labyrinth. Labyrinth obstacles are randomly generated by the maze itself, after each team has announced their three-monster line up. Obstacles may be physical or mental in nature. Each team will be required to overcome the same sets of obstacles. Monsters who have the ability to transform may do so as long as the transformation does not result in non-skating locomotion. Referees will be strategically placed throughout the labyrinth as well as in the center to assure teams follow the rules.

List Of Team Named Members: Frankie (temporary), Abbey Bominable, Ghoulia Yelps, Lagoona Blue, Operetta, Draculaura (temporary) and Clawdeen Wolf (Temporary), Clawd Wolf, Deuce Gorgon, Manny Taur, Heath Burns, Gil Webber. In the 2013 Monster High Fearbook, it is also mentioned that Holt Hyde is on the team in his bio.

### Batball (Or Monster Baseball) Team

This Monster High team sport plays similar to Baseball. According to Clawdeen's *Physical Deaducation* notebook the field is coffin shaped rather than diamond shaped. Because the field is narrower at the bottom than at the top, there are three infielders and four outfielders. Bats are made from unbreakable dragon bone.

Originally balls were made from the shells of hatched roc eggs and chimera scales but the balls became expensive, since gathering the materials was difficult. They were then rubbed with mud from the banks of the River Styx creating a "dead ball" that didn't fly as far and was easily retrievable. Modern balls are made from synthetic materials.

List Of Named Team Members: Clawdeen Wolf

### Monster Soccer Team

This Monster high team plays similar to regular American Soccer (or International Football). According to Toralei's Ghoul Sports notebook, the original version of monster soccer was not played on a smooth grass surface, but rather through the forests of the "old country". Modern monster soccer is no longer played in the forest, because it is too difficult for spectators to follow the action. You can, however, hear the influence of the old game in the terminology and slang that is still in use today. The following phrases are used during the game.

"Leaf Ripper" - A hard shot that flies over the goal.

"Lost in the Woods" - A player that looks confused on the pitch.

"Bark Duster" - A point blank shot that bounces off another player.

"Meadow Lark" - A player that doesn't like contact.

13 players on each side

Field is 200 yards long and 150 yards wide.

The ball is made from dragon leather and is virtually indestructible.

Matches last for 60 minutes with no halftime.

If a game ends in a tie, a second, red colored ball is put into play. First team to score with either ball wins.

List Of Named Team Members: Clawdeen Wolf, Toralei Stripe

### Monster Tennis Team

Monster tennis is played very similarly to regular tennis. The major differences is the way the sports equipment is made. For example, the tennis net is spun by a giant spider that remains there during the match to repair any damage that might occur from a ball striking the web. If the spider is hit, it's considered a "dead ball". Also the Rackets are made of graphfright and strung with Chupacabra hair. The balls are made from a super elastic ectoplasmic material, so that each time the ball is struck its speed doubles. Of course, there are other game rules in the game that are monster specific. The first player to reach 13 points wins a game. 5 sets are played with 6 games in each set. It is also mentioned that players with multiple arms can only use one racket.

List Of Named Team Members: Spectra Vondergeist

### Monster Debate Team

This Debate team are competitors of Monster High who are offered various topics of argument and are required to give adequate rebuttals in order to win.

List Of Named Team Members: Ghoulia Yelps, Sloman "Slo Mo" Mortivich, Don Of The Dead, Mr. Where (coach)

### Monster Swim Team

The monster swim team involves competing in a swim match against other teams by winning a swim race or routine.

List Of Named Team Members: Lagoona Blue, Gillington "Gil" Webber.

### Monster Surf Team

According to the *Monster High Character Encyclopedia,* Lagoona Blue is the captain of the surf team at Monster High. Not much else is known about this team, but one can assume that they compete against other schools in surf competitions (considering it's a team rather than a club).

List Of Named Team Members: Lagoona Blue.

### The Fear Squad

The Fear squad is very similar to an American Cheer Squad. Activities include cheering on other Monster High teams as well as competing in their own cheer competitions where they compete for the Spirit Staff, a sort of trophy for the best cheer (or in their case fear) routine at the "Mashional" (national) Championship competition. Traditionally, the Fear Squad often trains at the Fearleading Academy which is a training resort off of Gloom Beach. One year, Scary Murphy was their coach and gave them a harsh training session involving doing endless chores for other teams and Scary Murphy herself. Of course, this routine made them better fearleaders as a result.

List Of Named Team Members: Cleo De Nile (Captain), Clawdeen, Draculaura, Frankie Stein, Scarah Screams, Venus McFlytrap, Lagoona (former), Ghoulia Yelps, Torlei Stripte, Meowlody, Purrsephone, Nefera De Nile (former Captain).

### Dodgeskull Team

On the Monster High Dodgeskull team it is played similarly to Dodgeball.

It is usually played one team against another, in which each team must throw the ball and hit a member of the other team. Whichever team can hit all the players out first wins the game. There some rule differences between Dodgeskull and Dodgeball. For example, in Dodgeball, opponents can only be eliminated if the ball hasn't touched the floor before hitting them. In Dodgskull, however, it appears this rule doesn't matter as long as opponents are hit.

List Of Named Team Members: Ghoulia Yelps (Captain), Heath Burns, Manny Taur, Simon Clops, Romulus, Jackson/Holt, Slow Mo, Don of the Dead

### Track Team

The track team is a competitive team that involves foot racing. As mentioned in the 2013 Fearbook, the Monster High track team is divided by gender. Heath is mentioned as being a star of the boys' track team while Clawdeen is the captain of the girls' team. In a challenge, Clawdeen Wolf raced against Heath Burns and won.
