The Hotel Transylvania franchise was created by Todd Durham, and Genndy Tartakovsky (Samurai Jack, Star Wars: Clone Wars, Primal) directed the first three movies in the series — Hotel Transylvania in 2012, Hotel Transylvania 2 in 2015, and Hotel Transylvania 3: Summer Vacation in 2018. The voice of Dracula was provided by Adam Sandler (Happy Gilmore, Uncut Gems) for the first three films, but Brian Hull will be giving life to the character for the fourth and final film of the series, just as he did for the Hotel Transylvania short subject Monster Pets. The script for the new film is written by Tartakovsky, while Jennifer Kluska and Derek Drymon take over directing duties.
The Hotel Transylvania series follows the lives of famous monsters who live in the hotel named in the movie’s title, designed to be a place where monsters can unwind away from humans’ prying and often prejudiced eyes. The characters are loosely based on the classic stable of monsters from Universal’s monster movies.
In the new film, Professor Van Helsing invents a ray that converts humans in to monsters, and monsters into humans. It’s like Freaky Friday – except on a Tuesday.

The first Hotel Transylvania movie opened to solid reviews and earned $358 million at the global box office. As is frequently the case with fantasy and animated films, the reviewers hated it, but the box office soared. Despite a rotten score on Rotten Tomatoes, Hotel Transylvania 2 was released in 2015 grossed $475 million during its run in theaters. Hotel Transylvania 3: Summer Vacation had an even lower Rotten Tomatoes score but earned $528 million worldwide.
So much for Rotten Tomatoes.
