special weekend, Dracula has invited some of his best friends
– Frankenstein and his wife, the Mummy, the Invisible Man,
the Werewolf family, and more – to celebrate his beloved
daughter Mavis’s 118th birthday. For Drac, catering to all of

change for the overprotective dad when one ordinary guy stumbles on
the hotel and takes a shine to Mavis.
Featuring a wide variety of locations, puzzles, and boss battles
galore, the game creates an imaginative and fun way to interact
with the movie characters.
