Welcome to Hotel Transylvania, Dracula’s lavish five-stake resort, where monsters and their families can live it up and no humans are allowed. One special weekend, Dracula (Adam Sandler) has invited all his best friends – Frankenstein and his wife, the Mummy, the Invisible Man, the Werewolf family, and more – to celebrate his beloved daughter Mavis’s (Selena Gomez) 118th birthday.

Ronald McDonald gives me the creeps; I’d rather spend the afternoon with Hamburglar! When I was tiny, I would close my eyes when The Incredible Hulk was on as I was scared of when his eyes turned green.

Jaws was bad (I made my mum go in the loo with a bead knife for weeks afterwards every time I needed a pee), the clown from Stephen King’s IT scarred me for life (no more circus for me, not even Madagascar 3) and the Child Catcher from Chitty Chitty Bang Bang just petrified me….infact, it’s a wonder I’m as sane as I am!

I don’t really get scared by film characters on the whole, but as a child Cruella de Vil freaked me out big time. Not so much because she looked scary, more on account of her character … anyone, animated or otherwise, who can intentionally harm animals is pretty scary!
