9 Spooky Movies to Watch With Your Kids This Month – Lifehacker

Holy adorable, Batman. Hotel Transylvania is the story of Dracula (voiced by Adam Sandler, in his most perfect role), who runs a hotel for monsters. The hotel is a sanctuary because, historically, monsters have been hunted by humans. However, when a young man accidentally gets through all the hotels protections and zings with Dracs daughter, Dracs left to wonder if things havent changed over the last 118 years. (To zing with another, in monster-speak, is to fall in love at first sight.)

The monsters here are cuddly and silly, like the wry Steve Bushemi-voiced werewolf who has, like, 300 pups that are more cyclone than wolf; and the utterly silent Blobby, who just sort of blobbles about, bouncing with the flow (#teamblobby).

On the scary meter, this ranks at approximately a 0.5, and thats only because, when vampires get angry or want to frighten, their eyes flash all red and they glare as menacing music fills the soundtrack.

This is an especially great flick because, taken at face value, its entertaining and sweet. But theres a wonderful message of acceptance and Were not so different after all, too. (There are two equally fun sequels.)

How to watch: Stream on Freeform and Sling TV, available for rent on Amazon Prime and at Redbox
