If Vlad had the power to change the guy in the costume into an actual monster and Drac can change him back, then why couldn't Drac change Johnathan into a real monster during the first movie? Would have saved him all the problems.

He implied it. After he told Johnny about his wife, he commented how Johnny would make a good vampire. This was him considering it, but Johnny didn't get the implication and turned it into a joke. Besides, that'd probably be traumatizing for a 5 year old. Besides, as Johnny stated in the 2nd movie, he was proud of his human family. Why give it up being human unnecessarily? Besides, being a vampire has its drawbacks too. Can't go out in the sun, need to drink blood, allergic to garlic, no reflection, won't appear in pictures, etc. Enjoy being human while you can.
shareI am talking from the first movie where Johnny gets dressed up and pretend to be a monster. If Drac has the power to change someone to really look like a monster why not do that to Johnny instead of playing dress up?

Too risky. Suddenly recruiting a "natural enemy" into a world he doesn't know. Besides, people would come looking for him if he went missing. Besides, he didn't trust or like humans back then, and he thought Johnny was a threat.
shareWell the guy on stage was changed to a monster and back to a human with little effort in the 2nd movie so the same could have been done to Johnny. So Drac could have changed Johnny just long enough to get him out. If Johnny did something that was an actual threat as a monster he could change him back to human within seconds.
This is also fun nitpicking and still enjoy both movies for their stories and acting.

There's no going back once turned (although in some media you can go back if you kill the vampire that killed you).
shareI am talking about the scene in the sequel where Vlad changes a human in a costume into an actual monster and Drac changes him back with no effort. So it does show that you can go back and forth. So Drac could have done the same thing to Jonathan. This means that he wouldn't have to worry about people finding out there is a human in the hotel because he is now a monster.
I know we wouldn't get all the cute and funny scenes if he did that but the sequel does show that he could have made the change.

Hmm, you make a good point there. I don't think it was quite the same though. That was more like shapeshifting and hypnosis, not really a turning, but whatever.
shareLike I said, it was just some fun nitpicking but overall enjoyed both movies.

I like nitpicking ^_^
shareIt's a kids movie (yeah, about monsters), but transitioning someone from human to monster wasn't a concept they wanted to approach. most of the adults in the room understand that dracula could just bite johnny and get it over with, but that's just not something we need to present to our kids. over protective, but it is what it is.

Go away, or I shall taunt you a second time!
But they do actually show a transition of going from a guy in a costume to a monster that wanted to eat children. Because Vlad wanted to scare his great grandson. They also show a transition of what you think is a human boy to getting his vampire teeth and going all vampire on the bad guys.

The human changing into a monster and back again may have been something that was added for the second film because, plot point. The writers of the first film probably didn't actually conceive this idea during the making of the first film and therefore didn't address it.
"Here you go, a mirror for your birthday!"
"You do know I'm blind, don't you?"
That is what I figured. Wouldn't be the first time that happened with sequels. Odds are will not be the last.

Well, they celebrated Mavis's 119th birthday in the first one, and Johnny was 21.
