Sex & Nudity
Violence & Gore
-
- Johnny asks Dracula if it is true that a wooden stake to the heart would kill a vampire, and he responds "Well, sure. I mean, who wouldn't that kill?"
- Dracula decides not to kill Johnny because "it would set monsters back hundreds of years."
- Wayne the werewolf quickly eats several sheep blocking the path of the hearse. This is offscreen but he burps out some wool and other monsters' reactions to it can be seen. Wayne remarks "You eat lamb chops. It's the same thing" making it very clear what he was doing.
- Johnny wonders if his hand would disappear if he stuck it in the Invisible Man's mouth, and in a later scene the Invisible Man says he tried doing it, but the action itself is not seen.
- At one point, Frankenstein's monster belly flops off a kraken's tentacle and his body slowly comes apart after he lands. No blood. Played comedically.
- The violence are cartoony and slapstick.
- Recurring gag of a fly monster coughing up slime and rubbing his hands in it.
- Comic 3D animated cartoon violence.
- An armored guard (which appears to be hollow) is kicked in the groin and feels pain.
- There is a lot of dark humor based on the fact that monsters cannot be harmed by injuries that would kill a real person. This includes heads and limbs falling off, while the charactes are still moving around and not experiencing any pain, and particularly involves Frankenstein's monster and zombies.
Profanity
-
- God is said once.
Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking
-
- Monsters sometimes drink cocktails
Frightening & Intense Scenes
-
- Quasimodo ties up Johnny and attempts to cook him on a spit, but Dracula saves him.
- A few jumpscares on the beginning of the movie.
- Moderate for neurodivergent viewers.
- Periodically throughout the film Dracula becomes angry and roars loudly as his eyes glow red. Edited to elicit a jump scare reaction. Played for laughs.
- Some of the monsters are intended to be comedic.
- The scene where Mavis is visiting the human village may be frightening to some, as it has a few "jump scares."
- Dracula's fanged, red-eyed roar of disapproval (that is used for comedic effect) is done in an unexpected jump-scare-mode, using extreme close-ups and an eerie reddish hue. And it is repeated on multiple instances. But he makes it plain that he could never actually cause Johnny harm.
- The scene when Dracula tells the story of his wife's and Mavis's mom's death (with flashbacks) is a bit of a tearjerker. It is revealed that humans were responsible which is why Dracula worked so hard to offer refuge to monsters.
- The story of Mavis' mom's death at the hands of rampaging humans is told with a bit more serious tone; we see a burning building and men with torches. We also see Dracula telling her to get somewhere safe and her hand falling.
- Johnny breaks up with Mavis, acting like a jerk, but he does it to spare her feelings, since Dracula told him that a human and a vampire can't have a romantic relationship.
Spoilers
Violence & Gore
- After failing to erase Johnny's memory, Dracula threatens to suck all the blood out of him if he tells any other humans about the monster hotel.
- At the climax Dracula is forced to fly into sunlight, something said to be life-threatening for vampires. As he flies his bat body is badly burned and releases smoke but he ultimately survives with some mild burns, and if you look closely you can see his body is healing itself.
- In one scene where Mavis visits a human village, several torch-carrying, pitchfork-wielding people surround her and yell at her. They threaten her with things dangerous to vampires (fire, garlic bread, etc.) and she becomes frightened. One of the people accidentally stabs another one in the head with his pitchfork; the stabbed man falls to the ground, dropping his torch and setting the group on fire, as Mavis flies away frightened. After she leaves, it is revealed that the "human village" was a set-up by her father to scare her into staying away from humans. The "humans" are all zombies employed by her father, and are revealed to be unharmed. At one point a zombie's head falls off and laughs before Dracula quickly screws it back on before Mavis sees.
