Can you special summon a monster that was discarded into the graveyard?
BboyJanova
Cards which are special summon-only (ie, say 'can only be special summoned by' or 'cannot be special summoned except by') can not be simply discarded to the graveyard and summoned.
'Can only be special summoned by' monsters can be special summoned from the graveyard if they were properly summoned initially by the text on their card, before they ended up going to the graveyard. A note though, you resummon them with cards like Call of the Haunted, you can't use their own text again, that's for when they are in the hand only, unless specifically stated otherwise.
'Cannot be special summoned except by' generally cards can't be resummoned from the graveyard at all even if they were properly summoned first. There are one or two cards that can summon them, but they all specifically say they can do this - like Level Modulation - and still, the monster must have been summoned properly first.

Chaos Sorcerer must be initially summoned from hand. You cannot use his own special summon effect from any other location, like the graveyard. However, if he is properly special summoned by this method, and then destroyed, you are allowed to special summon him from the graveyard using cards like Monster Reborn. Monsters who say "can only be special summoned by..." all work like this, but ones who say "cannot be special summoned except by.." can't use any other method but their own. Lastly, if he's in the graveyard but was not properly summoned (like, his summon was negated, or he was simply discarded there) you can't use Monster Reborn on him.
