    The new scaremester is well underway as a mystery fills the halls and the students prepare for the Howlidays!

    Students have gone missing, and un-life at Monster High gets more complicated with each passing day. Everyone is on edge, causing cat fights between even the beast of fiends. But none feel the burden as heavily as the school’s new protector. Only Wydowna Spider and all six of her hands could count Draculaura’s obligations. Between her new position as director of the school board, fearleading practice, ghoulwork, student disembody council, and Ra knows what else, she’s found herself at D’Eath’s door…literally. Plus, questions swirl when the school board dusts off the Monster Claws and begins to enforce them after centuries of being lax about monster-normie relations. Who created the Claws? Why reinstate them now? What is their true purpose?

    Then, Halloween is coming! Headmaster Frankenstein and Draculaura are throwing a carnival for the real monsters guaranteed to genuinely send chills down their spines, and Monster High is packed with booths: whack-a-molar, pin the wing on the dragon, spiderweb candy, and even a maze of frightmares. Plus, blankets of snow have settled over Monster High, which can only mean that the Howliday Ball is around the coroner. There’s nothing quite like a school dance to scare up some defrightful drama.

    Volume 2 collects issues #5–7 and the Halloween Special and Howliday Haunt one-shots.
