History Fridge / HotelTransylvania

* When Drac asks Johnny if he's sure "everyone" will accept monsters if they came out in the open. That look of horror isn't just because of having just learned what happened to Martha. It's that humans have a track record of being horrible to humans who look or act diffrently. He can't promise that monsters won't be treated poorly by bigots.
* When Drac returned with Johnny at the ending at the Hotel, we see Mavis severely depressed, sit and crying in silence. But she had the window opened with all the sunlight. She wasn't in her bed, but in a shore of ther room, dangerously close to the sunlight. We see that in this universe the sunlight can hurt vampires and probably kill them after a time. [[DrivenToSuicide It's quite possible that she intended to end her life...]]

*** Also they hate humans because of how they treat monsters not because of bigotry so Quasimoto and the Invisible Man probably were accepted due to not treating monsters badly and being in the same boat as monsters as they were rejected by humans just as the other monsters did.

* Mavis, like all vampires, is immortal, and Johnny is just an ordinary human. Johnny will have to see his eternally youthful wife outlive him, while Mavis will have to watch her husband grow older and older until he dies, something that she's most likely never experienced first-hand since all of her monster acquaintances seem to be immortals themselves (eg. the patchwork corpse Frank, the mummy, etc).

* Wanda's pregnancy becomes ''terrifying'' when you realize the fact she's a werewolf and she isn't adding just one baby to her already enormous pack - she's having a ''litter''. Now is when you understand why Wayne always look so bitter and stressed everytime we see him with his family.

* While not immortal, vampires clearly have ''reeeeeally'' long lifespans, and Johnny is just an ordinary human. Johnny will have to see his eternally youthful wife outlive him, while Mavis will have to watch her husband grow older and older until he dies, something that she's most likely never experienced first-hand since her mother wasn't in her life and all of her monster acquaintances seem to have similarly long lifestyles.

** Making this worse is that

** Even if they were human back then, they would have been r[[HumansAreTheRealMonsters ejected by society at a large and be considered monsters anyways.]]

* "You only zing once!" Is the reason why Dracula finally goes after Johnny. Fridge Horror kicks in when you realise that since he already zinged, and presumably lives forever, he's doomed to a literal eternity of loneliness. Explains a lot about both his hatred of humans and his rabid protectiveness of Mavis. That's not even considering how vampires apparently are completely capable of losing out on the only person they're meant to be with, unlike humans who can have a SecondLove. The movie also doesn't explain if people who zing can grow incompatible (specifically if one of them is the type who can age at all, like Johnny.)
** Averted as of Film/HotelTransylvania3.

* It's a little odd that Dracula and Quasimodo are the only ones with accents, and never lost them from exposure to the monsters who work in the modern world. And yet Mavis, who supposedly had the same amount of exposure and spent most of her growing life with her father, has no accent.
** She would have been around them from a young age, while Quasimodo and her father were already adults.

* OK, so how did the book Martha wrote survive both the fire and 118 years of existence? (No acid-free paper back then.) Both are answered simply that it was locked in a safe. Martha locked it away, intending to open the safe and retrieve the book from the airtight safe when Mavis reached her 118th birthday. After the fire, Dracula went back to see if there was anything salvageable and found the safe with the book inside. Either vampires have a magic that allows them to unlock things or he just knew the combination.
** The book might have been made out of cotton rag paper, wood pulp paper with acid appeared only in the late 19th century.
** Thousands of books have survived from that time. It's fairly common.
** The oldest intact book seems to be the gospel of St. Cuthbert, at 1,315 years. Not bad for a book that was buried with the saint in question. That said, keep in mind that most important books were recorded on vellum -- they're basically written on leather, which holds up far better over the years than paper.
* [[{{Film/Blade}} This isn't the first time Dracula is more resistant to sunlight than other vampires.]]

Fridge Horror kicks in when you realise that since he already zinged, and presumably lives forever, he's doomed to a literal eternity of loneliness.

** On the concept of zinging, what if you zing with someone who turns out to be a horrible person?
*** Since zinging is based on the person you are supposed to be with, you can't zing with somebody who you won't like. However, there's still the possibility of changing over the years, or missing out on the person for one reason or another.
* You know what this troper just realized? What almost broke my brain? Mavis is 118 years old. Johnny is presumably around 20-something. Even though, Mavis looks and acts like a normal human teenager, it's still a bit [[{{Squick}} squicky]] for him to be dating someone who is old enough to be his ''great-great grandmother''.
** On that note, it is basically implied at two or three points through out the film that Johnny is going to become a vampire in order to stay with Mavis, this may be a case of getting crap past the radar....
** The mental-but-not-physical age gap is part of almost all vampire stories involving romance (or even those just involving sex, or allure or whatever). It's just we're used to seeing it played with the vampire male and the human female. It doesn't make it less squicky but it's no ''more'' squicky than central romances in Literature/{{Twilight}}, Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer, WebVideo/CarmillaTheSeries, Series/TheVampireDiaries...

* The guests at the hotel hate humans and freak out over the appearance of one. So what is The Hunchback of Notre Dame or the Invisible Man doing there?
** Odds are Griffin and Quasi are just as ostracized by normal people as the monsters are, and are thus exceptions to the rule.
** Alternatively, "Monsters" could be a catch-all term for anyone or any''thing'' who can't live in human society.
** While Griffin is still somewhat supernatural creature, Quasimodo is human all right. I always considered it as a subtle HumansAreTheRealMonsters hint, which fits with story theme.
** Quasimodo might have been a human back in fifteenth century (we are not given any information about the origins of monsters), but since he is alive in 2012, he is obviously not one anymore.
** Humans generally can't have conversations with mice.
* Why do contact lenses block hypnotism but windshields don't?
** Possibly because contact lenses directly touch the eyes whereas windshields don't.
** Actually, it's probably because contact lenses are corrective lenses, they refract and change light to correct poor vision. The hypnosis probably uses light to work so it gets messed up by the contacts. Glasses might have a similar issue.
* Why are Dracula and Quasimodo the only ones with accents?
** Isolation, most likely. Dracula has shut himself off from the outside world after his wife's death, and Quasimdo never got out much anyway. They simply never had the opportunity to lose their accents through exposure to other speech patterns, while other monsters worked in the modern world and Mavis learned from them.
** Heck, the book version of Quasimodo was deaf from those noisy bells, anyway...
