Adam Sandler leads the stellar comedic voice cast as the Count, with Kevin James as Frankenstein’s monster, Fran Drescher as his bride, Steve Buscemi as a werewolf, and David Spade as the Invisible Man. Director Genndy Tartakovsky’s inventive visuals are an ideal match for the script’s winning mixture of humor and sentiment.
