Monster High, Movie #10

Monster High: Freaky Fusion

by Keith Wagner, directed by William Lau

Release: 16 September 2014
Format: Animated Feature Film
Genre: Fantasy
Audience: Children
Content: Definite Time Travel
Original Language: English

The animated gang of teen monsters travel centuries into the past to the first day ever at Monster High, but when they return they have each merged with another in the group creating freaky hybrid monsters all around. I’m not sure, but I’m betting that Mattel used this DVD release as an opportunity to also sell freaky hybrid fashion dolls.

— Michael Main

It’s 1814: They’ve never seen fashion styles like ours before.
