An occasional mildly sexual joke does get through: the guests on their honeymoon, the skeleton who screams “Get your hand out of my wife!” and the invisible man making his hind quarters visible with the help of baby powder. Rated PG, the movie is about as scary as your neighbor’s Halloween display, the cartoony, fun neighbor, not the maniac with the scary sounds, fog machine, and axe a little too handy. The best is the Invisible Man as he does things like attempt to play charades with only his hornrimmed glasses bobbing up and down with his invisible gestures. Undead greats such as Beetoven show up in employ of the hotel. Sassy, vocal shrunken heads pay the part of “Do Not Disturb” doortags, always with an opinion on what is going on inside the room. There are some cute, creepy gags that get laughs. But humanity comes knocking in the form of a laid-back hiker dude named Jonathan (Andy Samberg). Her father thinks the world is not safe for her. Mavis wants to see the world, especially a place called Hawaii. (Really departed, not undead or semi-dead or eternally living with no soul, but gone, kaput, truly killed at the hands of humans.) Just reaching her adulthood at 118, she’s Dracula’s cherished daughter with his beloved departed wife. Add in a mummy (Cee Lo Green), assorted gremlins, and a honeymooning skeleton couple and you have a veritable who-who of the undead.īut Mavis (Selena Gomez) wants more. The Invisible Man (David Spade) lurks around, or at least we think he does. The wolfman (Steve Buscemi) has taken rooms with his fertile wolfwife (Molly Shannon) and extensive litter of little were-hooligans. Frankenstein (Kevin James) is in residence with his bride (Fran Descher). Plus, the touchy French chef Quasimodo (who knew he could cook?) and his Rataouille-esqe rat companion will whip up the best in fake blood, worm cakes, or putrid omelets. His resort offers all the amenities: zombies as bellhops to slowly meet your every need, a slime-filled pool, and activities to keep you occupied until the burning sun rises. In fact, he has created a refuge high in the Transylvania hills for monsters of all shapes, sizes, and non-shapes. Count Dracula (voice of Adam Sandler, who also executive-produced) lives in the modern age far from the judgmental and intolerant eye of human beings.
