History Recap / MonsterHighFreakyFusion

* AnAesop: Take pride in your roots, but don't let them hold you back.

* CanonDiscontinuity: Despite WordOfGod insisting it's a prequel, Recap/WelcomeToMonsterHigh completely scrubs a huge part of this movie by saying that ''Draculaura'' opened the school.

Along with Robecca, the ghouls unlock Hexiciah Steam's secret lab under the school, where they accidentally find a time travel machine that takes them back to MH circa 1814. Here, Frankie finds the past versions of Viktor "Sparky" Frankenstein (the man who made her parents and technically her grandfather) and Hexiciah Steam (Robecca's creator and one of MH's first professors). In Hexiciah's class, we learn past Viktor is extremely gung-ho and sure of himself with regards to his science, yet in his zeal forgets the emotional aspect necessary for his work--and for a while has been attempting to learn how to create life. Later, Frankie finds Viktor. Shocked by her creation, he relentlessly quizzes her on how she was made before she realizes she can't stay long. After Frankie assures him he'll know what to do, the ghouls return back through time--but the machine malfunctions and fuses them all together (save for Ghoulia). And Viktor and Hexiciah follow everyone back.

* BittersweetEnding: Frankie and Robecca learn more of their heritage, Victor and Hexiciah are inspired to create them, and the hybrid kids finally find somewhere they know they'll be accepted--but Hexiciah is still missing and Viktor is likely long dead.

* TokenHuman: Viktor, while he attended MH. He's even made fun of for this by other students (some of which bear a [[PaletteSwap striking]] [[YouAllLookFamiliar resemblance]] to Clawd).

* CanonDiscontinuity: Despite WordOfGod insisting it's a prequel, Recap/WelcomeToMonsterHigh completely scrubs a huge part of this movie by saying that **Draculaura** opened the school.

* ButterflyEffect: Acknowledged by Jinafire immediately after the ghouls go back to the past, and ignored by Toralei who the ghouls have to practically drag back through the portal (covered in past paraphernalia).

* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: The hybrid monsters are used as a pretty obvious stand-in for biracial people.

It's been 200 years since 1814, and school's Bite-Centennial anniversary! Connected to this, the ghouls are assigned to expound on their family scaritage in class. Things go well until we get to Frankie, who doesn't know if she really has a scaritage. Along with Robecca, the ghouls unlock Hexiciah Steam's secret lab under the school, where they accidentally find a time travel machine that takes them back to MH around the time of the school's construction. Here, Frankie finds the past versions of Viktor "Sparky" Frankenstein (the man who made her parents) and Hexiciah Steam. Viktor is shocked by her creation, and relentlessly quizzes her before she realizes she can't stay long. The ghouls return back through time--but the machine malfunctions and fuses them all together (save for Ghoulia).

''While attempting to help Frankie Stein learn more about her freaky cool scaritage, the fashionably fierce ghoulfriends travel back in time to the first day ever of Monster High! There, they meet Sparky, a skullastic teen with an obsession for creating life. But when Sparky follows the ghouls through a killer time portal to modern-day Monster High, the event results in eight of them fusing together into four creeperiffic hybrid Monsters. Now, they'll really have to work together to control their bodies in the big Bitecentennial Play and stop one of Sparky's experiments from destroying imperfectly perfect Monster High!''

* StableTimeLoop: Robecca leaves a note for her father while in his lab in the past. When he finds it moments after the girls leave through the portal to return to their own time, he is briefly puzzled by the note being signed "Love, your daughter", before then getting the idea to construct one.

* MadScientist: "Sparky", or the normie Frankie and the gang meet in the past. He follows them back to the present, believing he can unlock the secret to creating life by observing Frankie. [[spoiler:He learns enough to create her parents later, which makes him Frankie's grandpa.]]

* HybridMonster: The hybrids obviously, but some of the ghoulfriends end up fused as well, resulting in a dragon/sea monster, a werewolf/plant monster, a vampire/robot and a mummy/cat girl.
* MadScientist: "Sparky" the boy Frankie and the gang meet in the past who wants to learn how to create life and follows them back to the future to try and figure out how Frankie works. [[spoiler:Turns out he's actually her grandfather, Victor Frankenstein.]]

* HeroicSacrifice: Frankie uses up her life force to shut down the monster robot "Sparky" created.

* MadScientist: "Sparky" the boy Frankie and the gang meet in the past who wants to learn how to create life and follows them back to the future to try and figure out how Frankie works. [[spoiler:Turns out he's actually her grandfather, Victor Frankenstein.]]
* TwoLinesNoWaiting: The plot about Frankie's heritage and the plot about hybrid monsters/the ghouls becoming fusions could have both had enough material for a full movie, but they ended up mixed together.
