Notes[]
References[]
- "Talon Show" is a pun on "talent show".
Continuity[]
- The sign mentions the Talon Show to be the "1361st Annual Charity Fashion Show", pointing at Monster High being a very old school. The school would later be implied to be approximately 2000 years old in "Totally Busted" and even later approximately 3000 years old in "Playing the Boos". As per 2014's TV special Freaky Fusion, this canon has been overwritten in favor of Monster High being only 200 years old.
Milestones[]
- Iris Clops makes her cartoon debut.
Errors[]
- Even though it's supposed to be a talent show, the sign reads "Fashion Show".
- When Draculaura says "She's awesome!", she has Frankie's voice.
- Cleo's reflection depicts her cheek-gem on the wrong cheek.
- When Clawdeen says, "That was wild! Did they ask you for an encore?" to Cleo, she has a different voice, and she lost her Brooklyn dialect.
