In my opinion, the Hotel Transylvania films were underwhelming, cliché and too juvenile, they simply weren't for me. I didn't find the characters that interesting and so I didn't care about their relationships, the character I liked most was Ericka because of her potential as a goofy villain.

While I know it's a kid's movie, I dislike when vampires can opt out of drinking blood using blood substitutes. Its my opinion that vampires should be scary, and if they don't have to feed from living things then what's the point?

Do you like vampire-themed media in general, and do you like any mature vampire-media? I'm currently into Vampire: The masquerade which is an rpg taking place in a dark, gothic-punk version of the real world where supernatural beings live in secrecy.

I think they were good films, especially HT and HT3. They had alot of untapped potential I think. Transformania in particular did NOT measure up to what it could have been, and HT2 had it's problems too. But I liked the cartoony Addams Family approach and family dynamics. I wouldn't necessarily call them "Juvenile," particularly since there's a tendency to brush off animation - particularly cartoon animation, as being for kids and somehow not as valuable a medium. (You're also talking about something made by a person who was used to doing family cartoons like Dexter's Lab and Samurai Jack, and loved cartoony animation. So it's not surprising it takes a more family friendly spin on monsters.) Along with Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs, it helped bring cartoony stylization back to modern animation, which it deserves respect for.

I'd say there's something for everybody in the films. Heartfelt moments, funny moments, angst, surpeising depth at times, even some adult humor. But they're definitely not for those that believe vampires should be scary or evil as the big point is the "Monsters are just like us" racism/discrimination allegory. Then again, particularly as a queer neurodivergent and someone brought up on films like Iron Giant, Monsters Inc, Megamind, Shrek etc. I've always liked films that humanize characters we're expected to hate and be scared of and show them in a different light. And I personally found the introduction of blood substitutes and animals as vampire food sources an interesting way of doing that. Particularly now I know how vampire mythos can intersect with blood libel and the HT Drac fam's jewish coding.

(Here's another read more:)

Now, I DO agree Ericka is one of the best characters, and has been at the center of my obsession. Not only is she a fun goofy villain, but she's genuinely an interesting, loveable character too with an interesting backstory who deserves FAR more love than she got. A beautiful mix of feral chaos and charming elegance, who can be just as nuts as the guys, and definitely not the norm for a woman character. Particularly a love interest. And like many in the fandom, I feel she would have made a BEAUTIFUL vampire. But characters like Johnny, Mavis, Dennis, Drac etc are also fun to watch and play with for me.

In terms of other vampire media, I actually have gotten into some of them, particularly with my recent HT obsession! Dracula Dead and Loving it is a recent watch I liked. It has the tongue-in-cheek humor of HT but being more like the book and other Dracula adaptations, it's darker and more adult. Rocky Horror Picture Show's vampire adjacent and is pretty fun, particularly the music. As is Little Shop of Horrors (both versions of the musical film AND the OG black and white one.) And I've been meaning to watch the Van Helsing film. I've also read Dracula Daily and plan to do so again this year. While not exactly SUPER mature depending on how you define that, I've also played some of the Monster Prom, Camp, Roadtrip series which includes vampire characters. Alot of my "horror" stuff tends to be more like Nightmare before Christmas, Ghostbusters, Monster House, Corpse Bride, Gremlins, Addams Family (both Live action films and the TV series, plus I plan to watch the animated film some point,) Blithe Spirit, Bendy and the like. More family friendly type stuff.

Coraline (and Laika in general,) Bendy, Poltergeist (OG), The Twilight Zone (OG and one of the new series') and sometimes Doctor Who are probably the most hard horror things I've really gotten into. I've kind of dipped into FNAF on occasion, Quite a few of my friends are into Undertale, and have meant to watch Supernatural as well. But never fully got to watching either of those.

Just watched Hotel Transylvania: Transformania (2022). Totally loved it (I love all movies!) but mostly because since Johnny turns into a monster, it felt like he is completely free. All these time, his dork side is always interrupted or tamed somehow but now he is JUST so FREE and even friendlier.

Although he is still better of as himself (human) as the ending approaches! </3

i loved hotel transylvania 4. even though i do think that is is maybe the weakest one, its still good. it wraps up the franchise nicely.

but what i would LOVE to see is some kind of series. a cartoon, focusing on mavis and johnny figuring out how to run the hotel and stuff. it would be so awesome.

I recently realized that the wolf character Wayne in Hotel Transylvania is a /werewolf/ and not just like an anthropomorphized wolf...and now I'm wondering why/how the other characters have never seen him in human form and why it was such a shock in Hotel Transylvania 4.

I know this is a ridiculous thing to be fixated on but wtf man 🤨😤

Hotel Transylvania: Transformania

Films of Hotel Transylvania have a good name. Began greatly and continued awesome, but what about the finish? If it is finished. There still can be plenty of content to publish. Maybe we could see another part in shorter episodes. Drac goes retired and wants to leave a hotel for Mavis. But crazy Johnny could not wait and ran to Drac and blew surprise up. After three movies, it is simple to…

The Drac Pack is out of whack! REVAMPED

I had a feeling that my first set of redesigns for these guys' human forms in HT4 from way back in January 2022 were long overdue for a redo, especially since I've come a long way with my digital art skills since then.

Also, even though it's August, it's NEVER too late or early for some Halloween themed art IMO.

Some Drac and Johnny fun somewhat inspired by a scene in Transformania. I imagine Johnny's now-slimy body having healing properties would be...kinda awkward for Drac. XD Not because he doesn't like Johnny but...I'm sure putting part of Johnny on his face would get weird fast.

All the "issues" that happen in the beginning of Hotel Transylvania: Transformania could have been solved by the fact that vampires can turn humans into vampires.

Johnny isn't a monster? Mavis can bite him.

Dracula got turned into a human? Mavis can bite him.

Everyone stopped being a monster? Mavis can bite them.

Literally, Mavis can bite everyone and solve everything.

Redesign of the horrendous Transformia Movie. Murray got the worst of it in my opinion so it fixed it.

I have a design for Griff I'm just a big baby. 🙃

I made this fanart of Dracula and Wayne in their monster and human versions. I had a lot of fun making them, and the hardest part was making Wayne a werewolf and putting on Dracula's human costume. I hope you like this fanart.
