Adam Sandler's Spookiest Movie Is Streaming For Free (GIANT FREAKIN ROBOT)

Adam Sandler has had one of the most successful post-SNL careers ever, and this streaming spooky movie shows why.

Although “Adam Sandler as a cartoon vampire” feels like it is the kind of idea that would come from a Sony Pictures executive waking out of a sweaty fever dream, it was actually created by comedian and screenwriter Todd Durham. The idea was developed as a franchise from the start, which was prescient. The real plot kicks in when a human hiker named Jonathan “Johnny” Loughran (Andy Samberg) accidentally stumbles across the titular Hotel Transylvania and hijinks ensue, Mavis and Johnny fall in love, Adam Sandler is against it and then he is for it, he realizes he cannot keep his daughter from the world forever and that humans no longer hate monsters (debatable, but okay), and there is even a classic frantic run to the airport for the sake of love. Granted, it is an animated children’s movie starring family-friendly versions of the classic Universal Monsters, but still, horror is in its DNA. It is also currently streaming for free (with ads) on Amazon Prime Video’s FreeVee service.

James Caan almost took Adam Sandler's role in Uncut Gems (The Digital Fix)

The role of Howard Ratner may be Adam Sandler's best performance to date, but the Safdie Brothers nearly gave the part to James Caan.

After sandler first rejected us our instinct was to cast James Caan as Howard. Obvs it was always sandman’s part, but in the air somewhere is a version with jimmy caan… as seen here in 2011.. As expected, there was a mass swell of love and adoration shared to social media from fans and those who shared filmmaking experiences with him.
