Living Dead Girl :
This was my first ever Monster High movie as a kid, along with Ghouls Rule. I remember sitting on the floor, eyes transfixed seeing this for the first time โ and never being the same since (became a massive fan).
That intro had a way of making a child's brain feel like they are actually a ghoul or ghost going through the intro and being welcomed by Frankie, a way to pull you in and feeling like one of them, like you belonged as a spectator in the story.
MH had a profound impact on me as a child, where I felt empowered as a woman in any shape I took, be it hyperfeminine like Draculaura, Diva like Cleo or Clawdeen, or even more hardcore but still fabulous like Abby. It gave me a love for fashion, and cemented that you can be strong and kind at once, and to embrace who I was with all my flaws โ that flaws should be highlighted and celebrated. Being the weird girl with no friends but a love for art and stories and animals, my dietry restrictions, all my "flaws" I should be proud of because it makes me a unique individual.
The first time MH was introduced to me (coupled with Winx Club) it really changed my life and I should thank my mother for it. She says she misses those days where I was little and watched this with my dolls and she sat on the couch and sketched, watching it with me. Might be a memory I hold on to for a very, very long time.
