Dracula’s gang, who have been highlights of the previous films, spend most of their screen time just running jokes in their human forms, taking away even more of the monster screen time, which is the selling point of the franchise. When the rest of the gang, including Dracula’s daughter Mavis (Selena Gomez) and his new wife Ericka (Kathryn Hahn), finds out about the species-changing shenanigans, they head right after them.
