A hapless young backpacker (voiced by Andy Samberg) stumbles upon an Eastern European resort and falls for the owner’s daughter (Selena Gomez), unaware that he’s discovered a hotel for monsters and that his prospective father-in-law is Dracula himself. Adam Sandler leads the stellar comedic voice cast as the Count, with Kevin James as Frankenstein’s monster, Fran Drescher as his bride, Steve Buscemi as a werewolf, and David Spade as the Invisible Man. Director Genndy Tartakovsky’s inventive visuals are an ideal match for the script’s winning mixture of humor and sentiment. The film would spawn three sequels and a TV series.

A vampire hunter known as Blade (Wesley Snipes) uses his superhuman abilities to protect humanity from neck-biting undead under the guidance of mentor Abraham Whistler (Kris Kristofferson). The half-undead, half-human daywalker also seeks revenge for his mother’s murder at the hands of a vampire during her pregnancy. Based on the comic book series of the same name, Blade was the first film produced by Marvel Studios. An unexpected box-office success, the film helped pave the way for the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Snipes’s undeniable charisma as the leather-clad slayer and his decades of training in martial arts helped cement the character’s place in pop culture.
