Monster Family 2 (2021)
Nobody's perfect.
To free Baba Yaga and Renfield from the clutches of Monster Hunter Mila Starr, the Wishbone Family once more transforms into a Vampire, Frankenstein's Monster, a Mummy and a Werewolf but when aided by their three pet bats, the Monster Family zooms around the world again to save their friends, make new monstrous acquaintances.
In Monster Family 2, consciousness is carried by monsters and creatures — a plane of “monster‑hunting family adventure”. The story fights on E8/E9 of the E0–E14 reality ladder, compressing family, identity, transformation.
