Notes[]
- The name "Catrine DeMew" is based on "Catherine Deneuve", a French actress whose oeuvre contains a role in the 1983 horror movie The Hunger.[1]
- Her bio picture profile on the old version of the Monster High website had said that originally said that her age was 415. In reality, this is Rochelle Goyle's age, and Catrine is 17. There is a similar mistake with Heath Burns's profile written with his "Least Favorite School Subject" as Holt Hyde's least favorite school subject.
