Two lonely bats crashed in the night. They felt a zing. Love at first sight. They knew right then they would be husband and wife. Your zing will come my love cherish it. Martha was never human.

[@HorseAnimated]

The theory that she was reincarnated as Ericka makes sense and doesn't have many holes, but the theory that Martha is human has a lot of holes.

[@anordinarygurl9642]

That would actually make so much sense on why Dracula "zing-ed". It would still hold truth to "you only zing once". Honestly it would be so cool

[@HorseAnimated]

This theory maintains the mythology, if it is disproved we can consider it a plot hole

[@pink-a-palouza7888]

Honestly, this makes sense, especially since other media involving vampires always has at least one storyline about reincarnated lovers It’s usually one vampire finding that they were madly in love with the past soulmate, reincarnated, and completely different every time time

[@HorseAnimated]

This theory is the one that makes the most sense and has coherence in a certain way.

[@janizhaguntang7387]

There's a thing called soul mates. Kinda similar to Zing, so it's true you only zing once when you encounter your soul mate. So Erika could be a reincarnation of Mavis's mom

[@christineking2855]

I for one believe in reincarnation even though my family may not.

[@HorseAnimated]

True, I forgot to mention soulmates, it's an interesting subject in spirituality

[@BlastFromThePastTheGoodOldDays]

Fun theory that is unlikely: Martha might have been turned into a human an amnesic human and became Erika. there was a machine that made Johnny into a monster and dracula and his friends into humans. So maybe Martha was the test subject

[@RialVestro]

Not the same. Mavis' mother was a vampire who was killed by humans. Erika is a human. They look nothing alike. And if they were the same person Dracula would have instantly recognized her.

[@HorseAnimated]

the theory says that they are the same soul because reincarnation has occurred

[@kaleanaking5292]

the soul is what gets reincarnated, not the looks.

[@KayMagic_Cat]

I wish we knew abt Martha

[@heroesrise2149]

Well, now we know.😊

[@HorseAnimated]

The franchise should give more details about it, but I think it's too late to tell unfortunately

[@jackhero1454]

At first I was also confused about the only zing once and wondered how he can zing again, but later on after watching the movie 2 or 3 times I figured that Martha reincarnated into her but I never realized about the whole reincarnated to fix the problem between the two families that I never knew

[@HorseAnimated]

I never noticed watching it, I just questioned myself after seeing the theory

[@ViewerOnline101]

The first theory is debunked considering the book Mavis' mom left her telling her how she met Dracula "Two bats crashed together in the night. They felt a zing, love at first sight". As for turning humans, it's possible, and Drac even implied the possibility of turning Johnny in the first movie by suggesting that he would make a good vampire. As for why Mavis hasn't turned Johnny, I believe there is a "yet" in there, as she loves him the way he is, as human. The second theory is interesting, but the simpler answers is that they're just normal zombies Drac employed. The third isn't a theory, it's just a simple fact of the series. There's not really anything to support the fourth theory other than Drac zinging twice when it was believed you could only zing once. It's more likely that this was just a false belief, otherwise Erika should have zinged with Drac right away, because she more than Drac would recognize him since he's the same while she was different but he stilled zinged. On a personal note, I don't like the reincarnation idea, as it feels like it diminishes Drac and Erika's love and development by just chalking it up to his old love with Martha again. I doubt the fifth theory. More likely than not, Mavis will turn Johnny at some point, same with Erika. And Denis is a vampire even if he is half human, so he should have a vampire's lifespan.

[@doll9340]

I thought that hybrids usually have an in between life span. Longer than one parent but shorter than the other

[@HorseAnimated]

I loved your comment bringing moments that deny the theories made by fans!

[@HorseAnimated]

I still believe that

[@Designer239]

Question 🙋🏼‍♀️ How are Ericka and Mavis’s mother are the same person ??? Plus also in the first movie of this it never really specified of how her mother actually died.

[@HorseAnimated]

they would be the same soul, since Martha's soul was reincarnated in Ericka, they are the same soul but with different experiences, it would be a past life! Logically, taking theory into account, it would be like this

[@vanyaconroy7002]

A fire, she was probably stabbed by something too, since, you know, people went to drastic measures to get rid of them.

[@dakotahrednour5245]

Will Mavis be OK with Erica as her new mom?

[@HorseAnimated]

Mavis already accepts Ericka very well, if the theory is confirmed she would be even happier

[@Riki_Weasel]

I didn't think Erica could be Martha because Erica isn't old enough

[@HorseAnimated]

haha thinking about it that way, no one would notice, but it's worth remembering that it's just a theory that hasn't been confirmed by the studio

[@Ms_Mochi_Nerd]

​@@HorseAnimated I mean, there were over 100 years for her to be reincarnated after her death, so there is still a small chance.

[@sadakopilled]

she didn't have to reincarnate immidiately after her death

[@Ms_Mochi_Nerd]

@@sadakopilled That's what I'm saying🤷

[@thebook3481]

Here’s my theory on why Mavis and Johnny zinged. It wasn’t because it was fated to happen but because of a witches spell. When Johnny crashed into Mavis while being pulled by a witch’s broom that was infused with magic, you see an explosion of magic when they collide and the zing happens right after. I think this explosion of magic was the cause of this zing not that Johnny was fated to be Mavis’s future husband. She was always meant to zing with another monster but that out of control magic changed that. What I’m hopping for is in the next movie, Mavis runs into her actual true zing (doesn’t even have to be another vampire could be any monster) and everyone starts freaking out because “you can only zing once. They investigate and find out the zing that Mavis experienced with Johnny was false due to witches magic so now Mavis has to choose. It’s what I want but will probably not get.

[@thegodofslayerentertain2678]

Mavis Should Travel Back In Time To Save Her Mother

[@doll9340]

No. Never mess with time travel and past events

[@nocursewm2938]

I always thought Johnny will die unless Mavis turns him. I have a feeling that eventually she will turn him because she just can’t lose him. Zombificaton is an option but would change Johnny to a greater degree so it is a less desirable option.

[@Theundeadtripplegoodnesswitch4]

Funny coincidence because my name is actually Erika wow I Already feel sad and happy at the same time

[@benjaminthemandmsgeneral5376]

So Erika's vampire name is Martha and Mavis doesnt know its her birth mom like he didn't tell her whats going on

[@HorseAnimated]

in the belief in reincarnation, the person hardly remembers their past life, for this reason Mavis will not find out about it (if the theory is confirmed)

[@fallenangel9716]

They should just have stopped after the second movie, I genuinely hate Ericka. She has nothing to do with Martha's personality and it's ruining the movie.

[@mirandawillie24]

I don't think Martha and Ericka are the same person cause Martha is dead she was killed by humans and Mavis grew up without her mother my mom grew up without her dad it is kinda sad not knowing the parent that you lost

@@HorseAnimated did I said something to upset you or something?

[@skycooks2639]

an issue I have withthis.....martha's death to erica's birth.... I think if I want this theory to be true I would like to believe Martha was waiting a bit to reincarnate until Mavis was a older so that Drac can learn to loose with Mavis before her return also to wait for drac to not hate all humans but she didn't expect her new life was a van helsing but it was too late because her soul was already erica's soul. but at that point it turns into more fanfic than theory because I don't have evidence to back this part up. also it is common in certain media of vampires to reincarnate into humans

[@novaknight8579]

Love the first movie so much. Two lonely bats crashed into each other. No! She was a vampire. Not to mention vampires are common in Hotel Transilvania 2 camp panicaca( I think i typed that wrong.) Anyway it's a camp for vampires.

[@TheNewKombatMaster]

You should talk about Whinny's age. Because she's in the first movie, and yet she's somehow the same age as Dennis, even though she should be much older than him?

[@HorseAnimated]

I don't believe they are the same age, Winnie is at least 3 to 5 years older, it could be that the wolves' growth process is different from that of humans/vampires

It could be the Mavis can’t turn anyone into a vampire because well Dracula came from pure blooded vampires. His wife wasn’t and was bitten and transformed instead. so maybe only full-blooded pure vampires can change people through bite. Just a thought.

[@wonderwhatsgonnahappen579]

I had the same theory too. If you only zing once then its not a coincidence if it happens twice on a different person. Erica is not without a doubt Martha. But thats just a theory.

[@Holidayflowergirl]

In reincarnation, they don’t neccessarily have to retain the memories or personality when they are reborn. The person’s soul just found its way to a new vessel, losing all memories, personality, goals etc. that they had in their previous life. So assuming that this theory is true and disregard her age, Erica doesn’t remember anything that Martha experienced because they aren’t the same person literally, but they share the same soul, hence why Erica was reluctantly attracted to Drac, that might’ve been Martha’s soul seeking Drac and pulling her towards him, wanting to reunite with him, without Erica really knowing, wanting or understanding it. But that’s just my take on this theory, whether it’s true or not.

[@HorseAnimated]

Martha was reincarnated as Ericka, which means she doesn't remember her past life. She doesn't have feelings for vampires because she doesn't know what happened when her soul was on Earth years before. That's how reincarnation works.
