Dracula's castle turned into a hotel
``Monster Hotel'' brings together all the famous classic monsters that come to mind. The original title is ``Hotel Transylvania,'' and the story is set in the vampire Count Dracula's castle in Transylvania, Eastern Europe, which has been turned into a luxury hotel for monsters. The original title has a twist and is cool, but I think ``Monster Hotel'' is also straightforward and easy to understand.
At the end of the 19th century, Count Dracula, who lost his wife to persecution by humans, builds a hotel as a safe place for his young only daughter Meredith and his fellow monsters to protect them. Time passes and it's Meredith's 118th birthday. A large number of monsters are invited to the hotel for the celebration, and the Count is happy to be reunited with his friends, but things are a bit dire when Johnny, a young backpacker who happens to get lost in the mountains and ends up at the hotel, shows up.
For a hotel that is supposed to be a paradise for monsters, where humans are not allowed, if it becomes known that humans are allowed in, it will affect the hotel's credibility. The Count desperately hides the fact that Johnny is human and pretends to be a monster, and tries to get rid of him, but Meredith, who develops a curiosity about the outside world (especially the human world), Ha) He falls in love with Johnny, who is the same age as him, and Count Dracula ends up feeling jealous as a father...
Although the story itself is slapstick, it is full of love for classic monsters, and the modeling and parodies are fun. Johnny, the young man who wanders into the hotel, is actually named Jonathan, but this is probably a quote from Jonathan Harker, the original narrator of `` Dracula the Vampire .''
Jonathan Harker is a solicitor who is sent to an old castle in Transylvania at the request of Count Dracula, who wants to buy a mansion in London.While staying at the castle, he learns the horrifying identity of the owner. Jonathan, a solicitor, is weakened by the fear of vampires, while Johnny, a backpacker, not only panics the Count, but also evades Dracula's hypnosis using Contact lenses.
Dracula, busy with the hotel and his daughter's important matters, is the most charming and even cute of all the Dracula parodies to date. His appearance is extremely simple and classic Bela Lugosi style (flattened black hair, pointy nose, black ballgown), and at first glance it feels ordinary due to the lack of twist, but this easy-to-understand design is the character of Dracula in this work. I think it makes it stand out. In fact, it's undeniable that most of Dracula's characters, especially his facial expressions, have a certain quality to them. It seems that there were some completely different and unique Dracula images in the design proposal, but I think they made the right decision to create a look that anyone who saw it could instantly recognize as Dracula.
