Hotel Transylvania movie billboards...

Nowadays animated movies seem over-populated with cute and cuddly critters, like zoo escapees, martial arts mammals and prehistoric animals, so it's nice to see a film sporting some more monstrous characters for a change.

Welcome to Hotel Transylvania, a five-star resort where the world's monsters go to get away from it all.

Run by the vampiric 'Count Dracula', you'll also find other famous supernatural guests like werewolves, mummies, invisible men and even Frankenstein's monster.

In addition to the recognisable creepy creatures you'll also find they also sport some fairly recognisable voices from the likes of Adam Sandler, Steve Buscemi, Selena Gomez, Molly Shannon, CeeLo Green and more besides.

These fun billboards for the computer-animated comedy were snapped around the streets of Los Angeles and New York City.

The giant-sized Count Dracula version was spied along Beverly Boulevard on the side of L.A.'s Sofitel Hotel on August 23.

The creative featuring the classic monsters arriving at Hotel Transylvania was spotted at Hollywood's Sunset & Vine on August and also near SoHo in Manhattan on August 28, 2012.

The version featuring the character head-shots was also snapped in New York near the infamous Times Square.

Arriving just in time for the run up to Halloween, let's hope this new movie is monstrously funny and not a frightful disappointment.
