Girl vs. Monster is a Disney Channel Original Movie that premiered on October 12, 2012. The film stars Olivia Holt as Skylar, a teenage girl who is incapable of feeling fear. The plot kicks off with Skylar and her friends preparing for the ultimate Halloween Party, where she is supposed to sing with a local rock band headed by Love Interest Ryan Dean. Unfortunately, that plan gets derailed when her parents tell her she isn't allowed out on Halloween. When Skylar decides to sneakout anyway, she unknowingly unleashes her own personal monster, discovers that she's a fifth generation monster hunter, and experiences fear for the first time.

comment
Oblivious to Love: At the beginning of the movie, Skylar is completely blind to the fact that Ryan is in love with her, as well as to the fact that he's scared to ask her out. The second one is at least justified, since she has no understanding of fear at all.

Emotion Eater: Monsters are born from and embody the fears of people and feed off of them. Immortal monsters such as Deimata outlive their hosts and bond themselves to new ones. If a monster is captured, the fear they embody can be suppressed.

Sealed Evil in a Can: Deimata. This is the reason Skylar was fearless for fifteen years, as Deimata was the physical embodiment of her fear.

Fearless Fool
 Girl vs. Monster / int_55a28534
comment
Fearless Fool: Skylar seems to be this beginning, like when she's willing to do a dangerous gymnastics stunt in order to straighten a banner, something most people would be discouraged from. note There was explicitly a ladder available, but she chose to do it this way instead. It only works because she's had six-and-a-half years of gymnastics training.

comment
Don't Try This at Home: Skylar's gymnastics stunt to fix a crooked banner is lampshaded as a "don't try this at home" moment by Henry. When Myra later attempts the same stunt, in order to avoid asking Skylar for help (and ignoring Ryan's warning), she breaks her neck.

Fear Is the Appropriate Response: Skylar delivers An Aesop to this effect in the movie's closing narration. How much weight it carries coming from someone whose fear has been sealed away again (temporarily anyway) is up to the individual viewer.

Establishing Character Moment

Establishing Character Moment: Skylar's method of fixing the banner in her first scene aptly demonstrates her fearlesness. Inverted in that she spends most of the film after that suffering from crippling terror.

Eldritch Abomination: A minor example. We don't directly see it, but Deimata follows up on her threat of scaring Skylar's parents to death. It involves tentacle things sprouting from her face... and her parents' response is 'That's the best you could come up with?'

Shout-Out: When Deimata meets up with her henchmen after being released, she asks whether Stephen King is still writing books. She then asks if kids still go to see horror movies only to be told that whilst vampires are popular right now, it is the romantic type of vampire. Deimata is disgusted.
