Monster High Clawesome Double Feature: Fright On!/Escape from Skull Shores

The ghoulishly glamorous gals of Monster High are back in this double-feature compilation. “Escape from Skull Shores” follows the gang on a spring break trip to the Great Barrier Reef to visit sea monster's daughter Lagoona's folks. As a freshwater-creature himself, boyfriend Gil is naturally stressed about meeting Lagoona's saltwater parents, but that storyline is sidetracked after a shipwreck leaves the entire group stranded and at the mercy of a villainous traveling freak show owner named Farnum, who sees dollar signs when he looks at the creepy teens. In “Fright On!,” Headmistress Bloodgood announces that the school will expand to include students from the “vamposeurs” Belfry Prep and lupine Crescent Moon High. The teens have some difficulty warming up to each other, which is only made worse when a clandestine outside party uses doppelgangers and tricks to drive them further apart. Sure to be popular, this two-fer from the tongue-in-cheek series is recommended. Aud: P. (J. Williams-Wood)
