       This popular cartoon features a variety of fictional characters that have been created into dolls. The female characters are classified as 'ghouls' and the male characters are classified as 'mansters'. The characters are the sons and daughters, or related to monsters that have been popularized in classic gothic horror novels, musical theater, stage plays, vintage fright films, and folk legends. Below are the characters from the Monster High doll series that are among our doll collection thus far:
