Characters

Main

• Jeffrey Morrison/Howler (voiced by Charlie Schlatter in his human form and Kevin Michael Richardson in his werewolf form) - a shy and well-meaning young adult who can turn into a werewolf at full moon, being out to revert his state while he fights threats whenever he has to.

Supporting

• Bella Stoker (voiced by Jennifer Hale) - a generally kind vampire who is Howler's love interest, often aiding him.
• The Ghost Twins, consisting of:
  • George (voiced by Jeff Bennett) - a ghost boy who is usually happy and likes to goof off.
  • Georgia (voiced by Kat Cressida) - a ghost girl who, unlike George, is more serious and more mature. However, even so, she still cares about her brother.
• Frank N. Stein (voiced by John DiMaggio) - a frankenstein monster who is unintelligent. Despite that, however, he gets random bursts of intelligence. It is later explained by Bella Stoker that he has "multi-intelligence disorder", making him smart at times and stupid at other times.
• Greg (voiced by Doug Lawrence) - a gargoyle who is immature and is usually a narcissist.
• Lex the Lynx (vocal effects by Dee Bradley Baker) - a dimwitted lynx who acts like a cat and loves to play. He was rescued by George when a grizzly bear tried to eat him once.
