Horror High is a Web Original Horror work by the Tumblr user 1 Percent Charge
. It depicts the children of traditional slasher movie characters in a cartoony and fashion-conscious way similar to how Monster High depicts the children of Universal Horror monsters and mythological figures. The six initial characters were:
- Billie, daughter of Ghostface
- Hallie, daughter of Michael Myers
- Crystal, daughter of Jason Voorhees
- Frederica, daughter of Freddy Kruger
- Seesaw, daughter of John Kramer
- Candy, daughter of Seth Brundle
The second set of characters was:
- Bee, daughter of Daniel Robitaille
- Audrey III, daughter of Audrey II
- Cary, son of Carrie White
- Starlet Slaughter, daughter of horror movie victims
- Fin, son of a Final Girl
- Allie Ive, daughter of a final guy
Later additions included:
- Noel, daughter of Billy Lenz
- Barbie, daughter of Bubba Sawyer
- Valentine, daughter of Harry Warden
- Joy, daughter of Orin Scrivello
- Cam, daughter of Mark Lewis
- Whitney, daughter of Patrick Bateman
- December Looney, daughter of Lloyd the Bartender
- Augusta Gray, daughter of Pennywise the Clown
- Ruth Vale, daughter of a scanner
- Tawny, daughter of an alien
- Meg, who has DNA from a megalodon
- Jay Doe, a horror movie victim (who somehow always survives)
Other users on Tumblr got into the fun and added their own characters to the Horror High universe. Some notable examples include Vidia Drome, daughter of Videodrome, and Rachel J. MacReady, daughter of The Thing.
This series contains examples of:
- Badass Adorable: Despite being drawn in the bright, cartoony style of Monster High, the author has noted on her Tumblr that most of these characters kill people on a regular basis.
- Conditioned to Accept Horror: The non-monstrous characters (Starlet, Fin, Allie, and Jay) are shown as this. One comic even has Starlet note that everyone's at least a little crazy, so she's not too fussed about going to school with the children of serial and spree killers (including the child of the person who killed her parents).
- Dating What Daddy Hates: Fin and Frederica are attracted to each other, which is a problem, since Fin's mom hates slasher villains and despises Freddy Kruger (and his family) in particular for the horrors he put her through.
- Depraved Dentist: Joy, just like her father.
- Healing Factor: Jay Doe has one.
- One-Winged Angel: Frederica's dream form is much more monstrous than her usual one.
- Punny Name: Several characters have them, most notably Allie Ive ("alive"), daughter of a sole survivor of a horror movie incident.
- Training from Hell: Fin's mom sent Fin to Horror high deliberately, thinking that having to fend for himself amidst the children of notorious slasher villains would toughen him up and make him able to fight actual slasher villains himself should he run into any later on.
