Content

School spirit meter

School spirit meter is a Florence Flask with a color changing liquid and floating eyeballs. It is boosted by watching videos, playing games, and completing other MH activities so you can win a special prize or code.

Games

The Games section of the website has a series of interactive games featuring different character-related themes, such as Draculaura avoiding the sun with her umbrella, or Lagoona helping her froggy friends.

All of the Monster High web games are mini-games. However, in 2012, more complex platform games were released that in theme and date coincided with the TV specials. For those, see the Catacombs section.

Videos

The Videos section of the Monster High website is a mirror of the Monster High YouTube channel. While the YouTube channel is updated with a new webisode each Thursday, the website is updated each Friday. In theory, both places have all webisodes uploaded, but in practice it has happened that the update on the website was forgotten about or was a different one from the YouTube update.

In contrast to the YouTube channel, the Monster High website used to upload the TV specials too. However, shortly after the release of "Why Do Ghouls Fall in Love?" on the website on February 19, 2012, both that TV special and "Fright On!" were removed. No new TV specials have been uploaded since. The one TV special remaining on the website is thus "New Ghoul @ School", which is also available on the YouTube channel.

Books

The Books section is not mentioned on the website itself, but still accessible through the page address and regularly updated. It contains a list of all books released in the Monster High franchise along with short descripions of their content.

Students

The Students section was a distinct area of the website from May 05, 2010 to October 23, 2013. It contained the primary official profiles, which were also published on the back of the characters' first deluxe doll releases and in the magazine. Originally, the section's hub was displayed as a groupshot of all the characters. The characters could be clicked to reach their respective profiles. On January 10, 2012, however, the two new profiles uploaded brought the whole to 17~18 characters. The groupshot display became no longer efficient, and was replaced with a Class Roster scroll. It showed only icons in rows of two against a parchment background, saving a lot of space. But at 30~31 characters, even the new layout lost its appeal due to the scroll length. On top of that, with the addition of Headless Headmistress Bloodgood and the future addition of the Frights, Camera, Action! - Hauntlywood characters, the terms "student" and "class roster" no longer sufficed. As such, October 23, 2013 saw another update—this one much bigger. The Students section was removed in favor of a horizontal bar capable of displaying six characters at a time that is directly accessible from anywhere on the website. The visual presentation of the profiles was also changed, adding quotes and pins. The update also got rid of two things: C.A. Cupid's profile, as she had switched franchises to Ever After High, and the alternative profile versions that previously were accessible if the page didn't load properly.

The Explore Monster High section has a selection of images (taken from the webisodes) and 10 "Fast Facts" about Monster High.

2. MH has exchange monsters from 40 different countries and 5 dimensions.
3. Make sure you study for your S.A.T. (Scary Aptitude Test).
4. Watch out for piranhas in the school swimming pool.

8. Avoid the horrors of homework: write in your decomposition books every day and keep the moaning to a minimum.
9. Village Mob fire drills are done regularly. Please be prepared.
10. Being turned to stone by Deuce Gorgon is not a legitimate excuse for missing class.
