Hotel Transylvania: The Series

Wow, slow day huh?

Seems like we need to drum up more business, hmm?

Let me guess. You have another fang-tastic idea.

Well since you asked.

Parties.

We make Hotel Transylvania the go-to place

for after-funerals, anniver-scaries.

We create buzz...

The good kind, not the swarm-of-locusts kind.

Absolutely not. I detest parties.

Come on, how about this?

Let me throw a sample party,

to prove I can do it. Huh?

It would have to be simple.

A group of monsters sitting around, waiting for death,

you know, a party.

Of course, entertainment, maybe a cake,

definitely a cake. But that's it.

And someone's birthday is coming up,

someone who's totally unimportant in every conceivable way.

Diane?

It would get her off my back.

But entertainment?

I've found classy options for every occasion,

even the boring ones.

Octavio the Awesome?

Is he still doing the tedious old magic act?

Yes! And he's totally available,

surprisingly so.

I did my research.

Well then, throw your test party, with Octavio.

If you fail, you can scrape the fungus off Bigfoot's toes

for the next year.

How do you do always come up with the worst punishment?

It's a gift.

But it's not one of your disgusting party gifts.

Right this way, front row seats for the Beak of Honor.

So excited!

Festive decorations, Mavis.

Yeah, they really make me look forward to my funeral.

Exactly! Enjoy the show!

I highly doubt it.

Thank you!

I'm your host, Pedro.

And this is Diane: A Night of Celebration.

How's everyone doing? Anyone here from the grave?

The warm-up acts are ready to go.

And Octavio the Awesome should arrive any second now.

It's going so well. I can practically taste the cake.

Quasi's whipping the scream cheese frosting as we speak.

Looks at him. And he says

"Sir, that's no sarcophagus. That's the toilet!"

Wonderful!

Being a doctor is tough.

Last week, patient comes in with a cough.

So, I run some tests.

Now I've got to schlep all the way to his swamp

to tell him he's got six months to live.

There go my dinner plans!

Gary? I was just talking about you!

What? I have six months to live?

Nah, I didn't want my act to be a downer.

You have two months to live!

Is there anything funnier

than a monster's impending doom?

Aww, look at Aunt Lydia.

We are going to host so many parties.

I think someone's in line for a promotion.

That's my time! Good night!

And good luck, Gary.

Wait a sec. Where's that Octavio? If he doesn't show...

Mavis! Octavio the Awesomely Late is here!

Yes! Better late than severed!

Octavio, welcome! At last!

Sorry, I had trouble with the map.

Well you're here now.

And everyone is so, so eager to see your act!

Great! I'll open with the old ear-behind-the-ear trick.

Whoops! Sorry, I get clumsy when I'm nervous.

And I'm always nervous.

And I'm starting to get

why my Aunt Lydia insisted I book you.

Thanks, Lydia.

Lydia Dracula?

Oh, she hated my act so much,

she wrote a blood letter to Entertainment Shriekly.

"Octavio the Awful", she said.

I can't go in there. I won't! You can't make me!

Wait! No!

Now what? I told everyone we'd have a magician.

And maybe we still do.

Time for some magic wagic!

Uh, forget I said that.

Magic for Beginners, chapter one.

Show time!

Good luck, Mavis!

Okay,

is this a great party or what? Whoo-hoo!

Where is Octavio the Awesome?

Uh, a magician never reveals his secrets.

Maybe he's already here. Can you feel it in the air?

You mean your impending failure?

No, I'm talking about magic time!

Oh, it's hot up here.

I'll just, uh...

Oh, uh, ta-da!

Thank you. Thank you.

For my next trick, I need a volunteer.

Me!

All right, let's hear it for Diane!

I am going to make our Beak of Honor disappear!

Okay, slippity sloppy, hoppity hey,

disappear now! Go away!

Mildly impressive.

It worked.

Uh... I mean, now to make her reappear.

Swirly, curly, the other way,

return to us right now. Okay?

Nosfarutu, nosferack, come on home now! Hurry back!

Holy rabies.

And now for a totally planned magician's intermission.

In my absence, please enjoy Hank and his famous impressions!

Velcome to my hotel!

It's Dracula! He's doing my dopey brother!

Blah, blah, blah!

I made Diane disappear!

We know. Awesome!

No, I really made her disappear!

I have to get her back before Quasi brings out the cake

or I'm going to be waist-deep in fungal toe jam!

It won't come off!

Ew. Yum.

What did you do exactly?

I just waved the wand, like this.

No! Where'd they all go?

Hello?

Hello?

What is this place?

It's not so bad,

once you get used to all the running.

Sorry, "Running"?

Ah!

Oh, my gosh, you guys, holy rabies!

That is Mavis to a "T"!

And then there's Lydia...

Uh, who is super terrifying and scary.

And let's leave it at that.

That's pretty on point, actually.

Quasi is nearly finished the cake? (GROANS)

First time I've ever dreaded dessert!

I got to find Octavio. But how?

Take me to your owner! Go to your magician!

Returnio Octavio?

Ah!

Octavio, thank darkness! I need your help!

Your wand made my friends disappear, and Diane!

Help you? You took my wand!

You dropped it!

I need my wand back!

I need my friends back, and Diane!

You want your wand? Come and get it! Whoa!

Where am I?

Wendy? Pedro?

Mavis! Run!

Give me back my wand!

First, tell me how we get out!

Fine, just reverse the swirl!

I tried that!

What? But it's the only fix I know!

Oh, your aunt's right. I'm awful.

No, come on, don't.

I just hope she hasn't caught on yet.

We're dying over here!
