No, no, no, no, no. I didn't mean to

startle you, my little baby. Sh.

Papa's going to bite the [singing] head

of a bird.

I want to kiss your to

[crying]

Nice. But maybe a little more square

footage. I want a lot of monsters here.

>> I'm going to get you little babies. I'm

going to get you

>> right out there.

>> Oh, we never go out there ever.

And then the monsters ran away and were

forced into hiding. But Harry the human

found them and jumped out from under

their bed.

>> I'm scared.

>> And burned their clothes and bit their

toes and took their candy.

>> Don't take my candy.

>> Baby Claus, you don't need to be

frightened. I promised your mommy I

would protect you forever.

My beautiful [music] baby, [singing]

let me wipe all your poop away.

Those [music] humans are nasty.

[singing]

So with daddy, you will

[singing and music] stay.

And if a human tries to harm

[music and singing] you, I'll simply say

because you're daddy's girl. Daddy's

[singing] girl, I'm your

>> Just bend the legs and push off. Trust

me, mouse.

>> Look at you.

>> Faster, baby. Faster. You got it, my

little voodoo doll.

[laughter]

>> Excuse me, sir.

>> What? What?

>> Ow. I'm okay. It's ready.

>> Looks good. Only monsters can get in.

>> Oh, absolutely. It's hidden real nicely.

You've got 400 acres of haunted forest

in front of you. You've got the land of

the undead on the perimeters. Any humans

daring to even look over there will run

away real quick.

[music]

But of course, be smart. No bonfires, no

firework shows.

>> Yeah. Yeah. No, no, no fire. I get it. I

get it.

It's time, my darling Martha. The place

we always talked about for Mavis.

No one will ever harm her here.

[music] Heat.

[music]

Heat.

>> [screaming]

>> Huh? Yeah, it's a mess back there.

[groaning and screaming]

[screaming]

>> Welcome to Hotel Transylvania.

Human grief [singing] since 1898. Your

safest destination. Take an itinerary. I

have personally designed a spectacular

schedule of events all leading to my

daughter's birthday extravaganza

tomorrow.

>> We always look forward to coming every

year. Count, we enjoy the safety so

much.

>> Of course. That's why we build it. Yes.

Good evening. [screaming]

>> Thank you, Marty. You look pale as well.

>> Sir, sir, sir, we have an urgent

plumbing issue.

>> Plumbing on it, Mr. Guligan.

>> There is a clogged toilet in room 348.

It's okay. We all get stomach aches, Mr.

Bigfoot.

[screaming]

>> Hey kids, reel it in. You're only

supposed to make mom and dad miserable.

>> Now, now, is that any way to behave?

This is a hotel, not a cemetery.

>> Hi, Uncle Drax.

>> Dra, how are you?

>> Wayne, my old friend.

>> Couldn't wait for this weekend. Always

great to be out of the shadows for a

couple days.

>> The family looks beautiful. Let me just

clean up their filth. Housekeeping.

[snorts]

[crying]

>> Frankie, my boy. Look at you. Still

traveling by mail, Mr. Chipo. Huh?

>> It's not a money thing. I have a plane

phobia. Okay. I mean, at any moment,

those engines could catch

>> fire. Yeah. Yeah. Fire. Bad.

>> We know.

>> Adjust this part. Ted, come on. DOES

THAT LOOK LIKE FRANKENSTEIN'S HEAD?

>> HEY, DRE. BUDDY, what's going on with

your cape there?

>> What do you mean?

>> Who pitched me?

>> Guilty. You're irresistible.

>> Yes. Very amusing, invisible man. Hello.

Great to see you. [laughter]

Ah, never gets old.

>> Missed me. Miss me. Miss me. Miss me.

>> Okay, you win. Hold this bacon. Why am I

holding B? Ah, [laughter]

no. Get them all out.

Here comes the party.

Hello, Murray. [screaming]

>> Drake, what's up, buddy?

>> The sand. Murray. The sand. Always with

the sand.

Wolfie Wanda Frank.

[groaning]

[screaming]

>> I love this guy. You're always bringing

at full tilt. You're looking skinny,

too, now that you're just ahead.

>> Okay, you'll pay for that.

>> So, what's up, Dra? The hotel is looking

off the hook.

>> Hey, guys, watch this.

>> By the way, you were right about those

directions.

>> Oh, good. Good.

>> Yeah. I took the tigers through the Nile

and there was absolutely no traffic.

>> You're kidding me. Right in my lobby.

>> Jack, I swear, man. I I don't run like

that

housekeeping.

I was not the cause of that. [laughter]

We're ready.

>> If only Martha were here to see this.

>> She's always here, Wonder. Okay,

friends. I am so glad you are here to

celebrate another birthday for my sweet

little Mavis and another successful year

of refuge FROM THEM.

THESE ARE recent human images our

surveillance has uncovered. They are

getting fatter so as to overpower us.

And they are wearing less clothing,

allowing more movement to strangle us or

cut open our heads and put candy in

them. But they will never find us here.

Evil villain, YOU WILL NEVER WIN. OKIE

DO. The fun starts in 30 minutes. Right

now, I have to see my little girl. She's

not SO LITTLE ANYMORE.

>> YES, SHE IS.

What's going on out there? Are we at the

hotel?

>> Frank, did you book us for a tandem

massage? Did you get us a table at

Hunchbacks? Did you do anything?

>> You're welcome.

>> What's going on,

>> Dad? You said that when I turned 118, I

could go out into the world like every

other adult that gets to come and

[music] go from this hotel. But maybe

wavy, it's not safe. Blah blah blah.

Dad, 30 years ago, you promised. I

remember we were both eating mice and

you specifically said that you gave me

your work.
