Mattel's Monster High is beloved by people around the world, and while the multi-media super-franchise may seem like a simple toy line for the uninitiated, it's far more. Monster High may have begun as a toy line and animated webtoon back in 2010, but the demand for the spooktacular characters and their stories caused an expansion sooner than expected.
In just a decade, Monster High fans have been treated to comics, video games, movies, music, and even long-form movie content that have been evolving alongside the toys themselves. Now that has evolved even further into a whole new look with Monster High: The Movie as the "Ghoulfriends" are finally brought to the live-action world.
Before the advancements in the mega-franchise, many super-fans were only able to experience watching Monster High as a webtoon. Even animated films weren't even close to the thrill of a live-action adaptation.
Paramount+ took to social media in order to give a first look at what to expect from this upcoming live-action version that ghoulish fans haven't seen before. Take a look at what's in store with the teaser below.
"Some secrets are too eerie-sistable to keep quiet", the teaser states while calling it a "bob-dead musical", so clearly there is a lot to unfold in what's to come. While announcing the upcoming live-action Netflix film, however, neither the streaming platform, Matel, Paramount+, or Nickelodeon has revealed yet when it will be available to watch.
The characters that have been teased are Cleo: The Undead Diva, Clawdeen: The Leader of the Pack, Komos: The Creature Teacher, Draculaura: The Fangtastic Sorceress, Deuce: The Guy with Killer Looks, Heath: The Hothead, Frankie: The Live Wire, Lagoona: The Bestie with Bite, and Bloodgood, The Head of the School.
Thanks to Collider, we have some imagery to showcase the upcoming toyline come-to-life and the characters that inhabit the monster and human worlds. Check out the following line-up including posters for the main characters and their pun-tastic names.
