The Hotel Transylvania franchise, a fun and spooky animated series created by Genndy Tartakovsky, centers around Count Dracula, his daughter Mavis, and a host of other monsters living in a hotel hidden from humans. Known for its humor, heartwarming moments, and impressive voice cast (including Adam Sandler as Dracula in the first three films), Hotel Transylvania has become a beloved series for families.
If you’re wondering how to watch all Hotel Transylvania movies in order, here’s a breakdown to stream them online in both chronological and release order.
How to watch the Hotel Transylvania movies in chronological order
Interestingly, the Hotel Transylvania movies follow a linear narrative, so the chronological and release order is the same. You can easily follow the progression of characters and events as they were released.
- Hotel Transylvania: The TV Series (2017-2020)
- Hotel Transylvania (2012)
- Hotel Transylvania 2 (2015)
- Hotel Transylvania 3: Summer Vacation (2018)
- Hotel Transylvania: Transformania (2022)
Even though Hotel Transylvania: The TV Series was released a few years after the original movie, it serves as a prequel that focuses on the teenage years of Mavis and her friends at the hotel. It’s a fun addition to the franchise, though not essential to understanding the films.
To dive in straight to the first movie, this 2012 fan favorite introduces Dracula, who runs the titular hotel as a sanctuary for monsters. Things change when a human named Jonathan stumbles upon the hotel and falls for Dracula's daughter, Mavis, setting off a comedic series of events as Dracula tries to keep them apart.
The second installment sees Dracula adjusting to his new grandson, Dennis, who shows no signs of being a vampire. Much of the plot revolves around Dracula's efforts to bring out the monster in Dennis, all while his daughter Mavis considers moving to the human world.
In the third movie, Dracula, Mavis, and their monster friends go on a cruise. Dracula falls for the ship’s captain, who turns out to be the great-granddaughter of his arch-nemesis, Abraham Van Helsing, setting up a fun twist and adventurous vacation.
The fourth and final film (so far) takes a new spin as Dracula and his monster friends are accidentally turned into humans, while Johnny becomes a monster. The movie follows their race to reverse the transformations before they become permanent.
