What is an Into Film Club?

Synopsis

Picking up a while after the events of the first film, Mavis is now married to Johnny and has the approval of her father, Count Dracula. A year after the wedding, Mavis announces that she is pregnant and later gives birth to a baby born who they name Dennis. But with his fifth birthday approaching, Dennis has yet to grow his fangs which concerns Drac, who worries that his grandson may never gain vampire powers. Sensing that her son may struggle with Transylvania life, Mavis considers moving their family to Johnny’s hometown in California in order to provide a more ‘normal’ and stable upbringing for him. Drac is dismayed at this news and decides to recruit his friends – Frank, Wayne, Griffin, Murray, and Blobby – to help train Dennis while his parents are away visiting California in the hope that they can help him to become a monster and develop his fangs.
