The genius of replacing the Columbia Pictures torch lady with an antifreeze Jell-O mold lasted long enough for incest to set in. With daughter Mavis (Selena Gomez) of marrying age, her relationship with daddy Dracula (Adam Sandler’s out, Brian Hull’s in) has matured from electral love to borderline inbreeding. (Drac crooning “Just the Two of Us” to accompany the romantic music video running through his head is creepier than any of the paying guests.) Fortunately, Johnny (Andy Samberg), Mavis’ betrothed, is on hand to help quash any rumors. The hotel is celebrating its 125th year and Drac is looking to hang up his cape and turn the property over to Mavis and Johnny, with one catch: ownership is restricted to monsters. Rather than simply having Mavis put the bite on her beau, a spell released by Van Helsing successfully transforms Johnny into a dragon while at the same time turning all monsters into humans. An extended tour of Van Helsing’s archives makes for a delightful diversion, but all in all, this is the closest the series has come to television. This marks the first feature for SpongeBob scribe Derek Drymon and DC Super Hero Girls producer Jennifer Kluska. (2022) — Scott Marks
