“Hotel Transylvania 5” (2025) brings back the beloved cast of monsters for another hilarious and heartwarming adventure, filled with spooky fun and family dynamics. In this latest installment, Dracula, Mavis, Johnny, and the rest of the monster gang face an all-new challenge that takes them beyond the walls of the iconic hotel and into the hidden corners of the monster world.

The story begins with Hotel Transylvania thriving under Mavis and Johnny’s management. The hotel has become a popular destination for monsters and humans alike, as they’ve successfully bridged the gap between the two worlds. However, Dracula, now semi-retired, feels a sense of restlessness. With his daughter and son-in-law running things smoothly, Drac begins to wonder if his best days are behind him. He misses the excitement of being in charge and longs for a new adventure.

Meanwhile, an ancient invitation arrives at the hotel, summoning all the great monster leaders to a legendary, secret Monster Summit that takes place only once every century. The summit is said to be a gathering where the most powerful monsters meet to discuss the future of the monster world. Curious and eager for a new thrill, Drac decides to attend, bringing along his family and friends — including the always-hilarious Frankenstein, Wayne the werewolf, Murray the mummy, and Griffin the invisible man.

However, the summit turns out to be far more dangerous than expected. A mysterious villain known only as “The Phantom” emerges, with a plan to turn all monsters back into humans. The Phantom’s goal is to make monsters forget their heritage and power, erasing the legacy of creatures like Dracula and his friends.As the group works together to stop this new threat, they must also rediscover what it means to be monsters and why their unique identities are worth preserving. Along the way, Dracula learns that his most important role is no longer as the hotel’s ruler, but as the head of his beloved family.With its trademark humor, vibrant animation, and touching family moments, “Hotel Transylvania 5” promises to be a fun-filled adventure for audiences, filled with laughs, frights, and a powerful message about embracing who you truly are.
