Monster High: Halloween Special

by Keryl Brown Ahmed, Naomi Franq (artist)

In the words of some famous old manster, “Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.” Well, no offense to that boo, but...I disagree. I mean, each Hallow’s Eve normies wrap themselves in toilet paper and bedsheets and call themselves monsters? As if their flannel rags could touch our Clawdeen Wolf booriginal designs... Ghouls, there is nothing scarier than a bad costume. Luckily, Headmaster Frankenstein and Draculaura are throwing a carnival for the real monsters guaranteed to genuinely send chills down their spines. Monster High is packed with whack-a-molar, pin the wing on the dragon, spiderweb candy, and even a maze of frightmares. Halloween may be a boring normie howliday, but you never know what, or who, might be lurking around the coroner. Happy Halloween, ghouls. —XOXO CryptCrier

Really cute Halloween special, though I prefer the main issues to this one. The costumes were adorable.

3.5

This was a very interesting read. I'm really curious where they are taking this comic series, and this just makes me even more curious.

For future readers: this comic released after Monster High: New Scaremester #2 but before issue 3. I know sometimes it is hard to find out where in a story things like Halloween specials happen a few years after initial publication so I'll note it here.

It is Halloween and the ghouls are having a great (and later terrifying) time at the carnival! I just LOVED this volume so much and I had fun following many characters as they celebrated Halloween. With fun costumes. Great art style. Spooky riddles. And oh yes, a maze that seems simple... but who will make it out? EEP!

4.5 stars! This is the first monster high comic I've ever read, and it was really cute!!! I wish the ending was a bit less abrupt, but overall I enjoyed this release!

Little Dead Riding Wolf, my beloved. ❤️💜🐺

Also nobody told me Elvira was in this one?! 😂 Only for a single page, but she's there and looking fashionably fierce!

2.5/5💫
El arte como siempre 💯. Sin embargo, en la historia, como en los anteriores volúmenes, tuvo sus fallos. En este caso, para mí pudo haber sido más profunda y extensa, partiendo del punto que el mismo cómic plantea; pero bueno le temieron al éxito ✌️.

Igualmente, espero los demás con ansias porque cómo así que mis besties de Monster High desde que tengo 7 están desapareciendo???!!! 😮
