3The special that started it all: this documents Frankie's first school week as a monster teen (and first week ever), all spent at Monster High. It formally introduces [[AlphaBitch Cleo]] [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold De Nile]], [[AwesomeAussie Lagoona Blue]], [[GadgeteerGenius Ghoulia]] [[OnlySaneWoman Yelps]], [[TheDitz Draculaura]], and [[TheFashionista Clawdeen Wolf]].
4
5!!Tropes:
6* AnAesop: Along with BeYourself, there's also "don't believe everything you read".
7* BeYourself: Central message of the film, which sets it up for the franchise.
8* ContinuityCameo: The lab rats from the Harrison books make an appearance, still covered in glitter.
9* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: Enough that this is [[CanonDiscontinuity no longer canon]] to Gen I, most of its important points retold within season one of the webisodes. The lab rats from the books get a ContinuityCameo, Lagoona is apparently a cheerleader, zombies can speak English (which isn't seen again until Generation II, being a hard series reboot), Heath already goes to Monster High instead of transferring in later, the Dawn of the Dance dresses show up even though they're dug up from Draculaura's closet in season ''three'', and Draculaura mentions having two parents when her mom's been dead for centuries.
10* GroupPictureEnding: The special ends with Frankie and her ghoul friends onstage getting their picture taken for the fearbook.
11* ImagineSpot: Frankie has one of these, where she gets to sing to a crowd--at the time, this is the dream-her.
12* LoveTriangle: Deuce, Cleo, Frankie. Subverted, in that Frankie didn't really want Deuce.
13* LuckyCharmsTitle: Want to be Hip and Cool with the youth? Just replace words with characters![[note]]If you're wondering, it's read as ''New Ghoul At School''.[[/note]]
14* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: [[Music/JustinBieber Justin Biter]] concert, anyone? Said character doesn't really bear a resemblance to him, though.
