Journey back to the hotel and catch up with all your ghoulish friends in Sony Pictures Animation’s sequel Hotel Transylvania 2. View trailer below.

Everything seems to be changing for the better at Hotel Transylvania… Dracula’s (Sandler) rigid monster-only hotel policy has finally relaxed, opening up its doors to human guests. But behind closed coffins, Drac is worried that his adorable half-human, half-vampire grandson, Dennis, isn’t showing signs of being a vampire. So while Mavis (Selena Gomez) is busy visiting her human in-laws with Johnny (Andy Samberg) – and in for a major cultural shock of her own – “Vampa” Drac enlists his friends Frank (Kevin James), Murray (Keegan-Michael Key), Wayne (Steve Buscemi) and Griffin (David Spade) to put Dennis through a “monster-in-training” boot camp. But little do they know that Drac’s grumpy and very old, old, old school dad Vlad (Mel Brook) is about to pay a family visit to the hotel. And when Vlad finds out that his great-grandson is not a pure blood – and humans are now welcome at Hotel Transylvania – things are going to get batty!

I’ve seen bits and piece of the first Hotel Transylvania, but I haven’t actually seen the whole thing. While it might not have the compelling story and emotional weight of a Pixar or DreamWorks movie, both Hotel Transylvania movies look like a lot of fun with a ton of comedic lines and gags. I might actually buy (or rent it) the first one before seeing the second one.

“Hi, dad”

Pack your bags and check into the hotel when Hotel Transylvania 2 arrives in theaters on September 25^th, 2015.
