"Fearbook" is a doll line exclusive to Target with a yearbook theme, featuring dolls dressed in outfits inspired by extracurricular activities. This line features the characters Draculaura, Toralei Stripe, and Twyla Boogeyman. Draculaura's club is the Drama Club (or Movie Making), Toralei's is for the Hissfits (or Monster Music), and Twyla's is the Board Games Club (or Ghoulish Gamers).
In the US, the line was officially released on July 14, 2024, in Target stores. Prior, it was made available to purchase on Amazon in numerous territories in late-June 2024.
Name[]
The official name of this line is Fearbook, a pun on the word "yearbook", and was trademarked sometime in 2023.
Characteristics[]
Alongside their main outfit, each doll comes with a varsity jacket, a fearbook, and additional accessories themed around their respective extra curricular activity. A notable accessory is a sheet of paper that has different details for each doll; Draculaura's is a movie script, Toralei's is a music sheet, and Twyla's is board game instructions. Draculaura and Toralei comes with additional jackets that are a part of their main outfits.
Fiction[]
The characters do not actually wear the Fearbook outfits in the TV series. Draculaura indirectly does but in a different context; in "Fangs for the Memories", it's shown that she wore an outfit very similar to her Fearbook one as a child. Said series still contains references to their extracurricular activities.
The Drama Club, referred to as "Movie Making" on the box packaging, is a club that Draculaura actively and passionately participates in, especially since her father is a famous movie star; the club also makes films on occassion.[1] While the script the Draculaura doll comes with is for an original film titled "The Cursed Bat", the script is actually just the events of the episode "Nightmare Nightmore".
Likewise, the "Monster Music" club likely refers to the Monster High band from "License to Rock". However, Frankie Stein, Clawd Wolf, and Finnegan Wake do not appear in Toralei's fearbook; only the Hissfits do instead. Further showing that the Hissfits may be the only ones attending the club is Toralei's music sheet displaying their song Cool Cat, which appeared in "Earworm". However, the Toralei doll still comes with a tail tambourine, which is seen in former mentioned episode.
The Puzzle-ology study group from "Witchful Thinking" has a similar theme to "Ghoulish Gamers". The board game the Twyla doll comes with, Humans in High School, debuted in the episode of the same name, where she used her boogeymonster powers to allow Lagoona Blue, Manny Taur, Barkimedes, and Buddy to play the game in a dream world recreation.

"The Cursed Bat" transcription[]
HEATH: Allow me.
With a step, Heath hits a BOOBY TRAP trigger and ICICLES FLY OUT OF THE FIREPLACE! A barrage of icicles lodge themselves into one of the paintings right behind Heath. Heath touches his forehead and lowers his hand to see droplets of WATER (he reacts as if it's blood!).
HEATH: I've been hit! I'm melting!
FRANKIE LOOKS AROUND, EXCITED.
FRANKIE: Neat. Are all Nightmore parties haunted?
DRACULAURA: No, Frankie. No Nightmore party is haunted, including this one.
