Relationships
The special includes continuity callbacks to prior Monster High webisodes and specials involving characters like Heath Burns.
- Heath previously made the exact same mistake of insulting a Wolf girl by questioning her athletic abilities in the Volume 1 webisode "Fur Will Fly". Then, his target was Clawdeen Wolf.
- Heath also earlier played the part of dunk-dummy in Fright On!.
- Manny's dislike of mazes will be brought up again in Ghouls Rule.
- In Fright On!, Abbey could not speak Zombie and needed someone to translate Ghoulia for her. She can understand Ghoulia just fine in "Escape From Skull Shores", meaning she's mastered the language in the meantime.
- Four Screamers was previously mentioned in "Witch Trials", in which Cleo also compared her temporary cabin residence to it.
- Frankie tells Andy how she, during fearleading tryouts, lost her leg and hit the captain in the face. This is a simplified version of an event in New Ghoul @ School.
Notes & Trivia
"Escape from Skull Shores" draws inspiration from classic films and tales, with noted milestones, production errors, and cultural references.
- "Escape From Skull Shores" is based on the late 19th century/early 20th century exotic expedition fiction, particularly the 1933 movie King Kong. The scene in which Andy climbs one of the towers of Monster High with Frankie in his hand mimics the icon scene in King Kong in which Kong climbs the Empire State Building with Ann Darrow in his hand.
- "Escape From Skull Shores" also uses elements from the fairy tale Beauty and the Beast, such as Andy's changing from handsome young man to a beast. The scene in which Andy shows horrible table manners at Monster High appears inspired by Disney's movie adaption of the fairy tale.
- The carnival cutout Lagoona and Gil use for a photo is based on the painting American Gothic.
- Four Screamers is likely a play on Four Seasons.
- Rochelle is one of the students almost run over by Nightmare. According to "Friday Night Frights", she shouldn't be a student at Monster High yet.
- Just before Lagoona tells Gil that she'll take him with her to the Great Scarrier Reef to meet her parents, her flower sits on the right side of her head instead of the left.
- Deuce Gorgon was petrified by Bartleby's reflection, but when Bartleby gets covered with ink, he was unpetrified, when it happened just like 10-15 minutes ago.
