Plot summary
Mavis and Johnny are married, and their son Dennis is nearly five. The boy has not grown fangs, and Dracula fears his half-human grandson may never pick up vampire powers. Mavis, who thinks Transylvania is no place for a normal childhood, considers a move to Johnny's California hometown, and Dracula objects. Johnny wants to stay at the hotel too, so he agrees to take Mavis to visit his parents and keep her from settling in there. Left to watch Dennis, Dracula becomes convinced the boy is a late fanger and recruits his friends Frank, Murray, Wayne and Griffin for lessons meant to bring out the vampire in him.
