The accompanying music video portrays McClain in a haunted house dancing with different types of monsters.

The video features McClain's sisters, Lauryn and Sierra, in its beginning and end.

"Calling All the Monsters" is the second single released from the soundtrack A.N.T. Farm (2011), for the television series of the same name on Disney Channel. It was first heard on the series's first-season Halloween-themed episode, "mutANT farm", which premiered on October 7, 2011 in North America, more than two weeks after the single's release. The song was performed by McClain in the episode. The episode featured an alternate universe where the A.N.T.s were monsters and controlled the school over the humans. After learning of the rule against mutants attending the Halloween dance, which they helped set up, Chyna Parks (McClain), fantasized as a Medusa, concocts a potion that changes the A.N.T.s into human form. Parks later gets up on the stage and performs the song as everyone in the audience is dancing, with the newly transformed A.N.T.s reversed backed to their ghoulish form.
