Sony Pictures Animation’s new trailer for Hotel Transylvania 2 finds Dracula attempting to teach his grandson, Dennis, how to be a vampire so that his daughter won’t move to California. The new trailer also finds Dracula (Adam Sandler) turning to his dad, Vlad (voiced by Mel Brooks), for help in how to make Dennis into a scary monster.

Directed by Genndy Tartakovsky, the voice cast includes Sandler, Brooks, Andy Samberg, Selena Gomez, Kevin James, Fran Drescher, Steve Buscemi, Molly Shannon, David Spade, and Keegan-Michael Key.

And for those wondering about the songs featured in the trailer, “I’m in Love with a Monster” is sung by Fifth Harmony. Lady Gaga’s “Born This Way” also helps set the mood.

Hotel Transylvania 2 will open in theaters on September 25, 2015.

The Plot: Everything seems to be changing for the better at Hotel Transylvania… Dracula’s rigid monster-only hotel policy has finally relaxed, opening up its doors to human guests. But behind closed coffins, Drac is worried that his adorable half-human, half-vampire grandson, Dennis, isn’t showing signs of being a vampire. So while Mavis is busy visiting her human in-laws with Johnny – and in for a major cultural shock of her own – “Vampa” Drac enlists his friends Frank, Murray, Wayne and Griffin to put Dennis through a “monster-in-training” boot camp.

But little do they know that Drac’s grumpy and very old, old, old-school dad Vlad is about to pay a family visit to the hotel. And when Vlad finds out that his great-grandson is not a pure blood – and humans are now welcome at Hotel Transylvania – things are going to get batty!
