Monster High: Fright On!

The second Monster High film is still in classic 2D, just like the first film and the first six seasons of the series. What is interesting is the extended runtime. Gradually, a cast of entertaining side characters is added, and the main theme really isn't bad at all either. While the individual scenes are dominated by little things like glimpses into the main characters' individual rooms (later known as the Dead Tired game sets), we meet Abbey Bominable and her excellent Russian accent for the first time, and the brilliant Operetta (who actually lives in the catacombs beneath the school and in many ways resembles her father, the Phantom of the Opera). Van Helsing transformed into Van Hellscream and with him came the conflict between vampires and werewolves... Unadulterated suspense until the last moment. (22/11/2011)
