Monster High: Welcome to Monster High

Normal is relative.

Normal is about how you feel,

not about how you look or what you do.

Normal is different for everyone.

Okay, so it may seem weird to you

that a bunch of swamp monsters, poltergeists, vampires and mummies

are all going to school together.

But for me, that's normal.

Welcome to Monster High!

Perhaps, I should start at the beginning.

...top of the world...

For those of you tuning in for the first time,

I'm Draculaura.

I'm not like other people.

But then again, who is?

...amazing...

Draculaura?

Come on, Draculaura.

- Are you ready? - Hey, Dad!

Oh. Right. It's tonight.

I can do this.

Why don't we try this some other time?

When you're more comfortable.

I'm perfectly comfortable now, Dad.

I'm just saying.

Now remember, you can never be too cautious.

The outside world is a scary place,

filled with

humans!

Oh no! Not the humans!

This is no laughing matter!

They may look innocent enough,

but humans are one of the most dangerous species on Earth.

Dangerous?

More dangerous than a swarm of killer robot bees?

I was about to make a very critical point.

"Stay away from humans."

Stay away from humans!

It's essential that you never let one see you.

They're just not ready to accept us.

At least not yet.

Promise me. Vamp's honor.

I promise!

Now, if you don't mind...

Not all vampires get the bat transformation on their first try.

Two times the charm.

Ah!

That's my ghoul!

- Oh. - Ah!

I'm all right!

I got this!

So close!

Maybe not!

I can't do this. It's impossible.

Not impossible. Just challenging.

Come on, let's try it together.

One, two...

I did it!

That's my ghoul.

Tash!

Drac. Drac.

- Oh, are you all right? - Yes, fine, I think.

One must never get distracted whilst flying.

What were you thinking?

Pop, um, can I ask you something?

Okay, there's this amazing girl, Tash.

She's such a big star. All the normal girls my age are obsessed with her.

Normal girls? You mean human girls.

Tash is totally, undeniably creeptastic!

Cut to the chase.

Can I go to her concert?

It's only, like, three towns over, and I'll be super-careful!

Please? Pretty, pretty please, with cobwebs on top!

Drac, no, I'm sorry.

- It's just too dangerous. - I just...

Monsters do not belong in the human world.

Then where do we belong?

Wait! Drac! Come back!

"The human world is too dangerous, Draculaura."

Well, I'm in danger of losing my mind.

Drac! Draculaura, where are you?

Here.

What were you thinking? Someone could have seen you.

I mean, I'm almost 1,600 years old.

I'm extremely responsible, I do all my chores,

maintain every single cobweb in this house, and...

And I'll always be stuck here, hiding in the attic,

hidden from the world.

But at least I have you guys. My trusty Vampology Vlog followers.

Well, if any of my fellow weirdos are out there listening,

have a good evening.

I'm off to bed.

Oh. Uh...

Yeah, I was just, um...

How about I make us a nice pot of bat tea?

Someone's at the door?

Nobody's rung that bell for 150 years!

Hey, I know you're in there.

No one saw you, right?

Of course not. I was...

I saw you today. I saw you turn into a bat.

Oops.

You can open up. I'm one of you.

No, what are you doing!

She's one of us!

- Bat tea? - Thanks, Mr. D.

It's really lovely of you to have me stay here.

She can share my bedroom.

Oh, whoa, whoa!

Let's just pump the proverbial brakes here for a minute.

I haven't seen another monster in decades.

We still don't know who she is or where she came from. Hmm?

Like I said, I'm Frankie.

My pops is Frankenstein.

After the great monster Fright Flight, he went into hiding like all other monsters.

Things get a bit boring when you're hiding out all by yourself.

Tell me about it.

Come on. You can't send her back.

I never had a real friend before.

You have Webby.

He's a spider, Dad!

Please?

My answer is final.

That's not going to work with me.

I'm telling you, you're wasting your time.

Enough! Okay! She can stay!

Favorite color?

Mmm... Electric blue. You?

Black. Definitely black. Oh, but also pink.

Oh, oh, and sunlight.

You're a vampire, don't you burn in sunlight?

No, silly. That's only in the movies.

Favorite song?

That's a no-brainer. Flawless. It's Tash's new hit single.

Who's Tash?

Who's Tash?

Have you been hiding under a rock your whole life?

Tash is the most coolest, most awesome, amazing, beautiful, amazing rocker.

I have all of her albums, and I've seen all of her videos,

even the super-obscure one that she shot secretly in Tokyo.

Oh. She's a Normie.

What's that?

Normie, normal. A human.

Okay, big deal. So, she's a Normie.

Don't you think it's a bit unfair that humans are the only ones who get to be normal?

I mean, who decided that turning into a bat

and sleeping in a coffin was weird?

Tell me about it.

Just because I need a few stitches to stay together, I'm still a person.

Do you ever wonder what it would be like to be normal?

I don't know.

Being normal never really vibed with me.

But it would be nice to do some normal things.

Like have friends.

Oh! And throw parties.

And hang at a coffee shop and order elaborate-sounding drinks.

It could be a coffin shop!

I love it!

And it could be right in the center of our little monster village,

where monsters of all kinds could come to live together.

And go to school together.

A real school.

Oh! We could call it Draculaura's Academy for Guys and Ghouls!

And beasties.

And others.

Yeah, no, bad idea.

What about School for the Scary, Strange and...

And Generally Unwelcome!

Or we could just call it

Monster High.

Monster High!

So simple and yet so perfect.

If only we could.

But it's impossible.

Not impossible. Just challenging.

We can't have Monster High without

students.

I say let's go find us some monsters.

Hello? Anybody out there?

Here, little monster-monsters.

This is hopeless.

Wait. I think I see something.

There!

Mmm.

Forget it, it's just a mouse.

Wait, what about over there?

The moors?

Nobody goes out there.

Exactly!

The perfect hiding place for a monster.

Maybe we should turn back.

Um, hello?

You're a vampire. You can't be afraid of the dark.

I'm not afraid of the dark. That's ridiculous.

Hey! Stop it! No! That tickles!

Oh! There's a whole pack of little pups.

Oh, aren't you just a little cutie-pootie?

On the count of three, run.

One, two...

Wait! Look at that, around her neck.
