31 Days of Horror 2025 Day 03 Hotel Translyvania


TITLE-Hotel Translyvania
SOURCE-Blu Ray

Yea I had heard of this franchise. Seen pieces here and there. But until last year in October I had never seen it. Found it cheap at a junkstore.

Dracula is about to celebrate his daughters 118th birthday. She wants to go out see the world. And he is trying to prevent that. While also running the famous hotel for monsters.

All is going ok,Dracula lets Mavis go to a nearby village. That is a facade on the level of the fake town in Blazing Saddles. The villagers are just hotel zombies in masks. 

A human male makes it to the hotel. And the rest of the film is Dracula hiding that this guy is human,claiming him to be a cousin of the Frannkensteins. And Mavis falling in love with the human.

Well animated. Fairly quickly paced and funny,Hotel Translyvania is one of those kids films that the adults forced to watch it will enjoy.

The voice cast is pretty good. Got Adam Sandler as Dracula. Selena Gomez as Mavis. Normally I'm pretty good at figuring out celebrity voices. In this I was horrible. With only Sandler and then the great Steve Buscemi as the werewolf being ones I figured out before the ending credits.

Blu ray looks and sounds good. Got a bunch of extras including a original short with Bigfoot.

Worth grabbing and watching.

Hotel Translyvania gets a B.
