2* In the first movie, Drac said garlic makes his throat swell, but come Summer Vacation it shows that him eating garlic actually causes flatulence. Why is this? Because he lied! It's embarrassing, so he came up with a believable lie to cover the truth.
3** It was also garlic oil that caused the problem. For all we know, straight up garlic ''does'' make his throat swell.
4** Equally possible, if he had a bad reaction to it hundreds of years ago he's unlikely to have any again. It's common lore that as vampires age they become more powerful, and even in humans allergies can change overtime; perhaps what used to make his throat swell just gives him bad gas now.
5* As mentioned under ArtisticLicenseLinguistics, Transylvania's official language is Romanian, which belongs to the ''romance'' languages. So even if he ''had'' spoken in his native language to Ericka and not just GibberishOfLove, it still would have been appropriate.
6* Jonathan using his DJ skills to countermand Van Helsing's hypnotic music may be an effective tactic, but it does have its down side: it means that, once temporarily freed, the Kraken ''can't just leave'' and move out of range of the mind-control music, as it's too caught up in listening to Johnny's tunes. That's why the DJ-battle finale ''had'' to go a few rounds, not just one.

9* The immortality issue from the [[WesternAnimation/HotelTransylvania previous]] [[WesternAnimation/HotelTransylvania2 movies]] is also at play here: Dracula, as a vampire, will probably outlive his second wife ''again,'' and Ericka will be stuck seeing her husband remain exactly as he is while she grows old and dies.
10** Not necessarily. Abraham Van Helsing has proved in this film that a human living longer than normal is certainly possible in this universe. Granted, emulating his technique in doing so is probably not ideal, but between scientific advancements and monster magic, finding another method for Ericka and Johnny to live longer with their vampire spouses is plausible.
