Hotel Translyvania 3: Summer Vacation

Poor Dracula (Adam Sandler)….he’s very sad and lonely while coordinating another monster wedding. Though Dracula was very busy with his hotel business, he realizes that all of his close friends have significant others – everyone but him. He even tries online dating but decides that’s not for him. Things change when his half-human daughter, Mavis ( Selena Gomez), plans a family vacation to give her dad the break he desperately needs. So Dracula, Mavis, and the gang head to a luxury monster cruise to Atlantis for a fun getaway. Dracula finds love at first sight when he sees the human captain of the cruise, Ericka (Kathryn Hahn). The only problem is that Ericka is not as sweet as she appears to be. She is part of the Van Helsing family. This family has been trying to kill Dracula and all the monsters for hundreds of years. Sadly, that’s Erika’s plan as well. Hotel Transylvania 3: Summer Vacation is the third film in the Hotel Transylvania series.
