We all want the best for our kids—especially when it comes to their education. Many of us parents put a lot of research into what we’re going to buy for back-to-school, but it is impossible to put as much time into it as a loving and immortal vampire dad! In prep for school and the new movie Hotel Transylvania 2, Drac is providing his goody seal of approval and why he does so—in his very own hypnotic voice, of course. Be sure to go see this dad in action, September 25 when Hotel Transylvania flies into theaters!
Essential School Supplies & Gear

Feather Pens
Ever since Mavis was a baby she loved when I sang about flying creatures, so these colorful and (as Jonathan always says) “awesome” pens with feathers on them are perfect. No biting the head of a bird required! A bonus perk? They just might be the thing to encourage my grandson, Dennis, to find his own bat wings and fly!
Shop them at Hay Mini Market
-
Maki Tack Set
As sharp as fangs but much more convenient for hanging items on the fly, these fun pushpins are a bunch of fish eggs—and raw treats have always been a favorite of mine and Mavis’. Just don't let anyone try to eat them (unless he has metal teeth, of course)!
Shop them at Urban Outfitters
-
Wreck This Journal
If your beloved pack of wolves back home ruins everything they get their paws on—a fact of life that Wayne and Wanda know all too well—you might want to buy this journal that begs to be destroyed as the school year goes on in bulk.
Shop them at MoMA Store
-
Madpax Dinosaur Spikes Backpack
Protect your little monsters’ gear with a spiky backpack that brings out their inner beast (Dennis gives it his seal of approval).
Shop them at KarmaKiss
-
PenSword Eraser
En Guarde! This pencil is mightier with this sword eraser (and another of Dennis’ top picks).
Shop them at Monkey Business
-
French Bulldog Tape Dispenser
I made sure to keep Mavis’ room protected by keeping a chatty shrunken head on the doorknob. If you don’t have one of those handy, this guard dog would be a great addition to your kids’ bedrooms, even if this one only has one head.

Gear Up Locker Mirror Pocket
Everyone who has a reflection needs a place to check and make sure there’s no lipstick on their teeth or fur in their fangs in between classes. This one does all that plus it has a useful pocket.
