Let's take a look at which upcoming/cancelled project people are most hoping to see from last week's poll! The majority of people think the biggest treat WB could give us would be Trick or Treat, which won the poll with 48 votes! Scoob! Holiday Haunt came in second, with 24 votes. Krypto Too! was a close third with 22 votes, while Velma came in fourth with a surprising 19 votes! It was no mystery that Mystery Pups wasn't going to win the poll, though, as it only got a single vote.

Lots of good choices. Here's my top 5
5) Swamp Witch - A good episode.
4) Reluctant Werewolf - Fun.
3) To Switch a Witch - Arlene is great.
2)Which is Witch - There are some hilarious, bizarre moments in this one.
1) Excalibur Scooby - Excellent. One very minor flaw with the disguise gag. Fantastic ending!

Great list! I would say Ghoul School rises to the top for me.

This is just a rumor mind you and this should be taken with a grain of salt but according to twitter this is what Warner Bros. Discovery plans to do with Cartoon Network.

Cartoon Network Studios and Hanna-Barbera Studios Europe are being absorbed into Warner Bros. Animation, which will become WBD's only TV animation studio.
Cartoon Network (the brand) will remain as it is now/
Cartoon Network (the channel) will be divided into two blocks: one for preschoolers (Cartoonito), one for their regular demographic of kids.
Adult Swim programming is being divided up between Turner's adult channels (TNT/TBS) and the incoming WBD streaming service/
WBD is giving priority to producing content based on already famous franchises (Looney Tunes) and from well-known creators (Genndy Tartakovsky). Original projects from new/unknown creators will only be greenlit if they are "very good."
Bugs Bunny will have a big presence on Cartoon Network going forward, WBD wants the character to become as iconic as Mickey/
Animated series for kids will only be greenlit for Cartoon Network from now on. Those shows will also stream on the new WBD service. But they will not be greenlighting kids cartoons exclusively for the streaming service that don't play on CN.

Doesn't sound that bad

WildwindVampire link

8/21/2022 06:41:28 pm

That actually sounds somewhat decent, like Becker said. I'll be interested to see if it's true. Thanks for the info!

Matt

I am halfway satisfied with this. I would absolutely adore if they put more focus back on the older franchises like Looney Tunes and Scooby Doo, at the same time though, I hope new creators don’t get screwed in the process

WildwindVampire link

8/21/2022 09:43:13 pm

I'm worried about new creators getting screwed over too under this new model. I could see them just sticking with the bare minimum if they only want already created franchises. It won't affect Scooby which is good, but it's still sad for anyone who was looking to introduce new content.

I’m going for Rock and Roll Mystery. I still can’t get over how awesome of a villain the Crimson Witch was. She had a cool design, cool powers and was pretty menacing.

WildwindVampire link

8/21/2022 10:07:14 pm

I liked the Crimson Witch as a villain too!

A bit of a random question, but I may or may not be doing the fan spotlights again like I have in past years coming up, and I was wondering if you would be interested in being one of the fan spotlights? No worries if not, just thought I'd ask in case you were interested!

Shadowscooby

8/22/2022 07:02:18 am

Yah I would love to be one of the fan spotlights. Thanks for asking.

WildwindVampire link

8/22/2022 11:11:06 am

Awesome! Do you have an email you'd be comfortable with me sending the fan spotlight questions to? (If you don't want to post it publicly, you can either send me a message through the contact form, or just make a comment and include it in the "Email (not published)" field when you're making your comment).

Matt

I COULD rank a lot more of these then I will but because there are so many, I will not only not rank the ones I haven’t seen, but also ones I could use a refresher on that would have anything besides “Oh, this is a typical episode of this series” or something

So I will not rank:
Swamp Witch
Scooby’s Desert Dilemma
Scooby’s Trip to Ahz
Excalibur Scoob
Tragic Magic
Curse of the Lake Monster
Kiss Rock and Roll Mystery (I have still completely avoided this one lol)
Halloween (I almost could rank this one but I’d need a refresher and there is already enough to rank
Wedding Witch of Wainsly Hall
Sword and the Scoob (Have been meaning to check this one out though)

So that leaves

16. Wizards and Warlocks- Very boring beyond that one pretty good joke regarding Scooby’s accent

15. Cursed Cabinet of Professor Madds Markson- This one actually interested me more than the typical episode of this series. Only at the bottom because the ones I’d rank below it are not being ranked this time beyond that one exception

14. When You Witch Upon a Star- It gets some hate, but I like it okay

13. Scoobra Kadoobra- I can honestly barely rank this one because its been so long, but I am pretty sure this was one of the best of that series but not for sure, so it is here

12. Warlock of Wimbledon- First half of this episode was awesome. That’s it though

11. House of the Nightmare Witch- Pretty good!

10. Sorcerer Snacks Scare- Not as good as Wanted Cheddar Alive, but I like the unique story of Scooby Snacks

9. Reluctant Werewolf- I like this movie a lot. Clearly not as much as most other people do as shown by this ranking, but yeah… some good stuff coming up

8. The Ozark Witch Switch- VERY good episode, mostly thanks to the atmosphere and setting. I felt the mystery was weaker and less fleshed out than the rest of this season, but I mean, it is a Scooby Doo Show season 2 episode, of course it is still great

7. The Dragon’s Secret- A highlight of SDMI season 1 in my eyes. Fascinating episode

6. The Sorcerer’s a Menace- I might be the only person who would put this ahead of Ozark Witch Switch, but I don’t know, this episode has become one of the ones I return to the most out of the entire Scrappy era, and has become one of my favorites of that first Scrappy season

5. Ghoul School- I don’t even like this movie as much as many others do… and it is still top 5 with tough competition here. That scenario says more than I ever could

4. Scared A Lot in Camelot- A ton of fun. A classic through and through

3. To Switch a Witch- The best episode of Scooby Doo Show season 3, this episode was an absolute delight with high stakes

2. Which Witch is Which- It is kinda hard, but not really to rank the top 2. This is a favorite of all of Where Are You for me, but it can’t compare to…

1. Witch’s Ghost- This was completely unfair. It was hard to not put Which Witch is Which at number one, but honestly, there was no way this wouldn’t be number one

Matt

8/21/2022 07:02:13 pm

Update: Web of the Dreamweaver would be between Reluctant Werewolf and Sorcerer Snacks Scare, and Riva Ras Regas between Ghoul School and The Sorcerers a Menace

WildwindVampire link

8/22/2022 12:28:07 pm

Update: Goblin King would be placed between "To Switch a Witch" and "The Ozark Switch Witch." It's an delightfully wacky movie that always gets me in the Halloween spirit.

Matt

8/22/2022 01:41:56 pm

Unfortunately, I think I am going to have to place Goblin King between Cursed Cabinet and Wizards and Warlocks. Not my cup of tea

WildwindVampire link

8/22/2022 02:13:11 pm

That's fair, it's definitely a very zany movie haha.

WildwindVampire link

8/21/2022 09:41:47 pm

I didn't realize there were so many options, wow! Alright, here we go:

28. Tragic Magic - not a great episode.

27. Scooby's Desert Dilemma - not a huge fan of the shenanigan-focused episodes.

26. Excalibur Scooby - decent plot, but too short

25. Swamp Witch - same as #26

24. Curse of the Lake Monster - This movie was somewhat decent, but I would say Mystery Begins is far superior. Too much of the romantic stuff was copied from SDMI

23. Kiss: Rock and Roll Mystery - enjoyed some aspects of it, some aspects get a bit too weird for me. Liked the villain though.

22. Wizards and Warlocks - same as #25 and #26

21. Scooby's Trip to Ahz - Although it is low, this is definitely a standout among the Richie Rich shorts to me. This was a pretty creative interpretation of Wizard of Oz for a seven-minute short.

20. When You Witch Upon a Star - I don't hate this one, although the Brewski Sisters do get a bit annoying with constantly singing their song after a while. Would have been a better episode if it was more in the tone of the Vincent/Marcella interactions. Those were genuinely some dark stuff.

19. Cursed Cabinet of Professor Madds Markson - Good episode. Liked both the villains!

18. The Sorcerer's a Menace - enjoyed this, one of my favorites of its respective series. Goes to show how many solid options there were in this poll!

17. The Warlock of Wimbledon - First half was great, second half went off the rails a bit haha.

16. The Dragon's Secret - Wouldn't say this was particularly a highlight of SDMI for me, but I did quite enjoy this episode.

15. Sword and the Scoob - Good movie with an interesting plot.

14. Wedding Witch of Wainsly Hall - loved how dark the tone of this episode was. Jeff was a good guest star.

13. Scoobra Kadoobra - I have a soft spot for this episode. Love Maldor and the castle setting.

12. Riva Ras Regas - classic WNSD episode. Lindsay fit really well in the episode, and I enjoyed the villain.

11. House of the Nightmare Witch - great SDMI episode! Love how Baba Yaga's house is also a villain.

10. Sorcerer Snacks Scare - Solid top 10 here. Wonderful BCSD episode with some great humor. Like the villain. Unpopular opinion, but I might like this better than Wanted Cheddar Alive.

9. Halloween - Another classic BCSD episode with some great humor. Liked this take on Baba Yaga.

8. Web of the Dreamweaver - Love the villain and the incorporation of Dungeons and Dragons. Definitely a standout of SDMI.

7. To Switch a Witch - agreed this is the best TSDS season 3 episodes. Super engaging plot and extremely high stakes (literally speaking, if you consider that it's about witches getting burned at the stake).

6. The Ozark Switch Witch - incredible dark atmosphere in this episode with some great villains, although that's not a surprise given The Scooby-Doo Show season 2 really delivers on both these aspects.

5. Which Witch Is Which? - A bit surprising this came out so low, but just goes to show how great the other four episodes are. This is a real classic though.

4. Scared a Lot in Camelot - such a classic Scooby-Doo episode with some great humor and villains (particularly Merlin was excellent).

3. Reluctant Werewolf - one of my favorite Scooby movies of all time. Incredibly unique and engaging plot. I love pretty much all Scooby episodes/movies with the Universal monsters and castles, and that was just an added bonus for this already amazing film.

2. Witch's Ghost - This is iconic and I would say even placing it at #2 is extremely low, but that's only because of...

1. Ghoul School - my favorite Scooby movie of all time.

Where’s Riva Ras Regas and Web of The Dreamweaver?

WildwindVampire link

8/21/2022 06:58:42 pm

Thank you for pointing out I was missing those. I just added them.

Becker

8/22/2022 11:39:25 am

I never really connected the dots that magician episodes are technically sorcery. But makes sense when I think about it. I guess kinda explains why I'm not high on Riva and Dreamweaver either from those options lol.

Wait, wouldn't Goblin King count for the poll too? That movie I actually love about as much as Witch's Ghost honestly (unpopular). How I didn't even realize that sooner when it's literally THE fantasy film of Scooby I have no idea lol.

WildwindVampire link

8/22/2022 12:24:17 pm

Actually you're right, I hadn't thought about magic episodes counting for sorcery either but I will add that option. Thanks!

Mr Neither

8/21/2022 11:41:27 am

Where is a sorcerer in Reluctant Werewolf. Anyway, really way to many options here so I pulled out the old random number generator, it gave me the number 1 so I guess I'm going for Which Witch is Witch.

WildwindVampire link

8/21/2022 06:56:43 pm

The two witch sisters are sorcerers.

Mr Neither

8/22/2022 01:19:27 pm

Oh yeah my bad.

Becker

8/21/2022 01:48:09 pm

Definitely Scared a Lot in Camelot! I adore that episode, one of the best things in the whole franchise, top 10 material. As soon as I saw that picture up top, I knew what my choice would be.
That being said, The Ozark Witch Switch and To Switch a Witch are also awesome, The Scooby-Doo Show REALLY nailed the sorcery episodes in every single season. Warlock of Wimbledon almost undoes that, but I still like it lol.
I've said before that Witch's Ghost is actually my least favorite of the Innes films, but that doesn't mean I don't love it, cuz I do still love it anyway. So that fun fact shouldn't mean too much considering the high quality of all 4 of those films. It's amazing enough to dethrone my number 1 choice though.
Maybe even hotter take: Which Witch is Witch is one of the lesser SDWAY episodes, it's not anywhere near the best of that series imo. It's still good though, but it's never been one that stands out to me.
The 13GOSD episodes are pretty good, with Scoobra Kadoobra above When You Witch Upon a Star. Obviously Ghoul School and especially Reluctant Werewolf are great, but I don't usually think of them as sorcery films for some reason, even though those elements are quite noticeable.
I don't even feel like talking about the others honestly, not memorable enough. That's partly because sorcery/witchcraft episodes aren't some of my favorite types of plots/monsters by a long shot personally, so the fact that TSDS somehow managed to smash it not once but three times for me (more so than even Witch's Ghost tbh), and that is a huge achievement for me. Just another footnote in the pantheon of reasons why TSDS is the best show.

Becker

8/21/2022 01:57:40 pm

Oops, meant to say Witch's Ghost is NOT amazing enough to dethrone*, lmfao

WildwindVampire link

8/21/2022 10:06:23 pm

"Scared a Lot in Camelot" is definitely my favorite of the episodes here too. Honestly, I felt like almost all of the sorcery episodes in the series are really good. When I just typed up my rankings a minute ago, there honestly wasn't any episode I disliked other than a few of the shorts.

I personally find "Which Witch Is Which?" to be a standout from Where Are You, so I can't agree with you there haha.

I don't really think of Reluctant Werewolf or Ghoul School as sorcery films either. It gets a little tougher to know what to include as options, because I know some people consider anything that could possibly fit under the theme, so I just tend to go broad with polls like this and include the option in case anybody wants to choose them.

Interesting, I would say I tend to gravitate towards the sorcery/witchcraft episodes personally. All of these options were solid.

This is a very random question, but I may or may not be doing the fan spotlights again here coming up, and I was wondering if you would be interested in doing one? No worries if not, just thought I'd ask in case you were interested!

Becker

8/22/2022 05:16:32 am

I'm sure it's because of my indifference to these types of monsters/plots that I'm not as high on Which Witch Is Witch and Witch's Ghost (and almost any other option). However I can't really explain why specifically the TSDS episodes work so well for me compared to the other ones, especially considering all of the TSDS take a different approach to the concept from each other (maybe they're just that damn great lol).
While I enjoy the September fan spotlights, I'm not the kind of person that is comfortable sharing personal information of sorts, so I'll sit it out. Hope it turns out well though!

WildwindVampire link

8/22/2022 11:03:41 am

IMO all of The Scooby-Doo Show sorcery episodes are among the best of the season for me. I don't know if they just put more effort into those or what, but yeah, I agree that TSDS had some of the best sorcery episodes of the franchise.

Completely understood and no worries. Thanks!

Matt

8/22/2022 01:56:47 pm

I'm not sure I would say they put more effort into Scared A Lot and Ozark Witch Switch, as I felt with maybe one exception or two, ALL of the episodes in the first two seasons went all out and had a bunch of effort put into them. I'll agree with To Switch a Witch though because that one really did feel like it had way more effort put into it than the rest of season 3

I guess for me, even if I did prefer Ghoul School or Reluctant Werewolf to Witch's Ghost, I would still vote Witch's Ghost because to me, that is just THE movie of sorcery in Scooby Doo

And yeah, Which Witch is Which is a top 10 episode of Where Are You for me

WildwindVampire link

8/22/2022 02:30:31 pm

Fair point on The Scooby-Doo Show. With some of these polls it's always hard for me to choose as to whether to go with my favorite or the best film to fit the theme. If it were the latter for this poll, I'd definitely pick Witch's Ghost because I agree that's my go-to Scooby movie when I think of sorcery, but Ghoul School is my favorite film in general.

Becker

8/22/2022 04:53:52 pm

@Wildwind, I usually take the latter approach with these polls. Even if Ghoul School was my favorite thing overall of the choices here, I wouldn't pick it anyway because of the specific sorcery theme of the poll.

Matt

8/22/2022 05:15:17 pm

I admit I flip flop as well, so I can’t say I have a consistent measure of anything like that either. I usually try and combine the two I guess. My favorite where I would actually think of the episode or film fitting the category

Like, High Rise Hair Raiser is by far my favorite episode of all time, but I wouldn’t choose it over What the Hex Going On, Nowhere To Hyde, Haunted House Hang Up, A Night of Fright is No Delight, The Loch Ness Mess… (the list goes on and on) for a poll on my favorite haunted house episode. Because while it is technically applicable with Crabbe’s house, I just don’t think of the episode as a haunted house episode

This would be one where admittedly, I would lean toward the latter if it wasn’t the same as my favorite. I mean, between the Hex Girls, Sarah Ravencroft, Ben Ravencroft, a whole witch based setting, it would just HAVE to be the choice for me

WildwindVampire link

8/22/2022 08:38:51 pm

@Becker and Matt That's actually a really insightful philosophy and probably the approach I'll take with doing my rankings for these from now on. In that case, Witch's Ghost would be my choice for this poll as while I love Ghoul School, it doesn't really scream "sorcery" to me.

Which Witch is Which:
This was good episode. The Witch and the Zombie were really creepy villains. The scene where the Witch summoned the Zombie was spooky. The voodoo dolls were creepy. Scooby using the needle on the Shaggy doll, he said ow and Fred said that he just backed in a fork was funny haha. The jumping been scene was also funny.

It always bothered me that Velma referring that Zeke was the witch when it was actually Zeb. The ending was cute with Scooby catching a fish in a bucket.

WildwindVampire link

8/22/2022 11:08:50 am

This is one of my favorite SDWAY episodes. I agree the summoning scene and the voodoo dolls were really creepy. Yeah, that bugged me too that Velma messed up their names. Strange that nobody working on the episode caught that before sending it to the network to air.

Shadowscooby

8/22/2022 05:07:08 am

Scared A Lot In Camelot:
I liked this episode. The Ghost of Merlin and The Black Knight were great villains. I also liked the Ghost of the Round Table.

Shaggy asked for a drink of water and it said all right. That’s a callback to Hassle in The Castle when Shaggy asked for a sandwich and mustard. The skull in the same episode said all right.

Merlin turning Shaggy and Scooby into his slaves was funny. They were grooming him haha. It was also funny when they tried to get Velma then acted all nice when she turned around.

I liked Uncle Shagworthy he looked and acted just Shaggy. Even Velma said “like uncle like nephew”.

Zarkos being Clarence was surprising.

WildwindVampire link

8/22/2022 11:06:25 am

The Ghost of Merlin was an amazing villain, and I liked the Black Knight and the Ghosts of the Round Table too. Yeah, there were a lot of great comedy moments in this episode. It was cool to meet Uncle Shagworthy. I was surprised by the twist at the end too!

Matt

8/22/2022 05:08:33 pm

I just watched this episode earlier today, and I was wondering: Was it ever clarified how Merlin and Clarence were both at the beginning together, and how a magic trick was used for the black knight to carry Clarence through the wall?

WildwindVampire link

8/22/2022 08:37:19 pm

It's been a while since I've seen the episode, but I don't think it was. That's a plot hole I hadn't noticed before!

Becker

8/23/2022 08:09:49 am

Maybe Clarence, Merlin and Black Knight were all projections, which would obviously be very elaborate and complicated to do back then, but Scooby oftentimes suspends disbelief a bit.

WildwindVampire link

8/23/2022 12:16:53 pm

That certainly could be!

The Ozark Witch Switch:
I really liked this episode for how dark it was. The Ghost of Witch McCoy was a very creepy villain. I liked that she could supposedly turn into a cat. I also liked that idea of her turning people into frogs.

I liked that the gang pretended to be ghosts of the Hatfields to capture the witch and the zombie. Shaggy really did a good job with the rhymes and Scooby laugh was pretty convincing.

The ending was funny with Shaggy and Scooby trying to eat the food but the farm animals kept getting in their way and ate everything.

This episode is somewhat similar to Which Witch is Which with both episodes having a witch and zombie as villains and them trying to find money.

WildwindVampire link

8/22/2022 11:07:48 am

This was a super dark episode with some great villains. The unique trap at the end definitely stood out to me too. I wonder how much the original "Which Witch Is Which?" inspired them including a witch and zombie (as well as the similar mysteries) in this episode.

Shadowscooby

8/22/2022 05:08:17 am

The Sorcerer’s A Meance:
I enjoyed this episode. I liked the Ghost of the Great Haldane as a villain. He was pretty creepy. He also kind of looked like the Ghost of Bigfoot. The mystery itself was interesting. It was pretty obvious that Morgan The Magician was the culprit.

WildwindVampire link

8/22/2022 11:04:50 am

The Ghost of the Great Haldane was a super creepy villain, especially since it looks like he has no pupils. I agree he looks sort of like the Ghost of Bigfoot. Yeah, the culprit was super obvious. I liked the mystery, though.

Swamp Witch:
This was decent enough episode. I liked the swamp witch as a villain. The plot of her turning Shaggy into a frog to have for her dinner was a silly plot.

Scooby’s Trip to Ahz:
I liked that this episode parodied The Wizard of Oz. Shaggy was the scarecrow, Scooby was the lion, Scrappy was the tin man. There was a yellow brick toad, the actual wizard of oz, wicked flying with of the North by Southwest, and one flying blue monkey.

WildwindVampire link

8/23/2022 02:35:28 pm

Definitely one of the better shorts. I liked that this episode took such a creative direction with parodying The Wizard of Oz. The singular flying monkey was interesting, given in the film there's tons of them.

Shadowscooby

8/23/2022 04:15:27 am

Excalibur Scooby:
The plot of this episode was interesting. The wizard needed two toenails from one big doll ( Scooby), one small dog (Scrappy), and the hair of one so tall ( Shaggy) to remove a sword from a stone.

Wizards & Warlocks:
I liked that this episode is a parody of Dungeons and Dragons.

Scoobra Kadoobra:
I liked this episode. Mandor the Maveloant was a really great villain. He was also somewhat scary. Especially, when his eyes turned red. The Tree Monsters were great villains. The Bush Monster was good too. The rabbit turned into the dragon was cool.

Funny stuff happening to Shaggy and Scooby when they are doing the soup like Scooby’s face turns into different animals and the elephant comes out of the soup.

Scrappy crying and telling Daphne to wake up that was very touching. Shaggy and Flim Flam were devastated as well.

Scooby came to the rescue by dressing up as a prince and kissing Daphne and the Princess.
It was funny that the princess who’s a dog went after Scooby as he ran away from her.

I really like this episode because of Maldor and the castle setting. Maldor is one of my favorites of the thirteen ghosts. The Tree Monsters, Bush Monsters and the Rabbit-Dragon were interesting villains too. The scenes with Daphne being put into the Sleep of the Centuries was definitely very emotional. The ending was super creative with Scooby being a Great Danish prince haha. I also wasn't expecting Princess Esmeralda to be a Great Dane.

When You Witch Upon A Star:
I enjoyed this episode. The Brewski sisters are like the female versions of The Three Stooges. Wanda resemble Mo, Ernestine resembles Larry, and Hilda resembles Curly Joe. The witches dance thing was wacky.

Marcella was creepy especially when she was in most form. I liked the they fooled the witches into sending her back to the chest of demons.

This was a good episode, but the constant repetition of the Brewski Sisters' song was a bit much for me. I agree Marcella was super creepy and I wish the whole episode would have had the tone of Vincent's encounters with Marcella.

Riva Ras Regas:
I liked this episode. The Ghost of Rufus Raucous was a pretty cool and creepy villain. I liked that he can shoot fire balls. I liked Rufus Raucous as a character. His magic tricks were cool and he made the second half of the episode interesting.

Lindsay Pagano was a good guest star. She blended in well with the gang. It’s also cool that three of her songs were in this episode.

I thought it was funny that Fred didn’t know what was a joke and what wasn’t a joke from Del stone.

Phylidia Flanders as the culprit wasn’t really surprising. As the assistant of Rufous, she would know all his tricks.

I liked the ending with Lindsay performing one of her songs and the gang dancing to it and Shaggy and Scooby in the fruit heads.

I agree this was a great episode! The villain was awesome and I liked Rufus Raucous's character as well. Lindsay fit in really well with the gang and it didn't feel forced at all. Fred's Elvis impersonation was fun. The culprit was pretty easy to guess as you said.

Scooby Doo: Curse of The Lake Monster:
I really enjoyed this movie. The beginning of the movie where Fred, Daphne, Shaggy and Scooby were chasing that mysterious figure and they were all gasping to who it was had me interesting to watch the rest and see where it all began.

The opening was funny with Shaggy and Scooby Doo thinking they are at a luau after school. I actually thought it was for real giving that it was the last day of school. How did Shaggy have sand in his feet.

This movie copied the gang’s relationships from Mystery Incorporated. Fred and Daphne dating then making each other jealous by hanging out with other people. Shaggy having a crush on Velma then Scooby becomes jealous and ruins their date.

The Lake Monsters of Eerie Pointe were great villains. It was cool how they could hop, stick out their tongues.

Elmer Uggins I liked him as a character. He was dressing up as a lake monster to make a quick buck but the costume was super fake. That stuff he poured out looked super disgusting.

I liked that the Silvery Moon song was used in the movie and that there was a rock n roll version of it.

The Ghost of Wanda Grubwort was a really creepy villain. The backstory of her creating the lake monster and it going around terrorizing the town was pretty dark. As was her getting burned at the stake.

Fred and Daphne dressing up in their original clothing pretending to be mannequins was a good reference. Fred looking in the mirror with the blonde wig say “hey not bad” haha.

The scene where Fred, Daphne, and Shaggy found Velma on the beach and thought she was dead was very emotional.

Velma being possessed by the Ghost of Wanda Grubwort was an interesting idea. The clues were all right there when she first picked up that blue stone, the warts on her hands, Shaggy lighting a fire and she freaked out after being burned at the stake, and her shorting out the security console because to prevent them from showing her face.

Scooby painting a passage way and using it to trick the Lake Monsters reminds me of how him and Shaggy painting a door to fool the Wax Phantom.

With the help of Shaggy, Velma was able to brake free from the control of Wanda Grubwort’s ghost. Scooby broke the staff with the blue stones and she disappeared and the lake monsters turned back into frogs.

Fred and Daphne made up, Shaggy and Velma shared a kiss. It was nice that they all decided to remain friends.

The ending was nice of them saving the country club, Uncle Thorny giving them 10,000.00 dollar check and them going by mystery incorporated and they all hugged. Shaggy and Scooby making up at the end was sweet.

I enjoyed the I Can Be Scared music scene at then end where the gang dressed up in 70s clothing, dancing in suits and we see classic villains. Ghost Clown, Hawaiian Witch Doctor, Werewolf Ghost. They even did a rap music video and they referred back to 1969. Shaggy and Scooby pulling off that pot cover and there’s a monster head is just like When they did it in Pirates Ahoy.

Overall, an enjoyable movie but I liked Mystery Begins better.

This was a decent movie, but I also enjoyed Mystery Begins better. I didn't like that the movie just copied the relationships from Scooby-Doo! Mystery Incorporated. I liked the villains though. The Ghost of Wanda Grubwort and the legend behind her was super creepy. The reference to Fred having blond hair was funny haha. I know a lot of people didn't like that Fred wasn't a blond in these two films, but I've never minded that personally. The gang thinking Velma was dead, and then them realizing she had been possessed by the Ghost of Wanda Grubwort was very intense. It was sweet how Shaggy reminded Velma of who she was to break free of Wanda's possession. The ending was also sweet.

The Dragon’s Secret:
This was a pretty good episode. The opening was intense with that guy coming in the shop and electrocuting Ray.

It was nice that we got to see Chen again and that he has more of a role in this episode.

Both the Red Wizard and White Wizard were really cool. Like seriously, Kung fu wizards that’s really creative. It’s also cool that they both had electro kinetic powers and the battle scene between them was nice.

It was pretty obvious that Chen was the Red Wizard because the Red Wizard talks just like him. As Scooby sarcasticly said “big surprise” it was pretty obvious that Mr. Wang was the White Wizard.

To bad Mei Le turned out to be evil. I really liked her and her and Shaggy were cute together.

Haha Barty Blake “Fred Jones you bafoon.

Yeah, the opening was definitely intense! I really liked this episode too! It was cool we got to see Chen again. The wizards as villains were awesome! I agree it was very easy to figure out who the wizards were. I never noticed that both episodes related to China had characters with the same initials ML, but that's neat!

Shadowscooby

8/24/2022 05:56:28 am

This episode is kind of like Block Long Hong Kong Terror. Both are Chinese related. Shaggy has interactions with Chinese girls, Mei Ling, Mei Le. Both have the same initials ML. In both episodes, the culprits were after rings.

House of the Nightmare Witch:
I liked this episode. I liked the idea of Hot Dog Water being a stand in for Daphne. We also learned that her real name is Marcie. She really helped the gang out a lot. Velma working for Mr. E was surprising. Scooby was heart broken when he found out and Fred and Shaggy were at shock as well. You can’t really blame her. They left her after the events of All Fear The Freak.

Baba Yaga was a really creepy villain. The creepiest scene is when Velma opened the door and she was just standing there and laughing. Her house with chicken legs coming to life was pretty cool and creepy.

It was nice of Daphne in helping the gang with the mystery. Fred expressing his feelings for Daphne was very sweet.

WildwindVampire link

8/24/2022 09:13:20 am

I agree this was a great episode! I was surprised to see Velma working for Mr. E too. I loved Baba Yaga as a villain, and it's cool that her chicken leg house was a villain too! Yeah, that scene with Fred was really sweet.

Web of The Dreamweaver:
I liked this episode. The Dreamweaver was a really great villain and had a really cool design. It was pretty cool that he can take over the dreams of other people and they end up having disastrous results. I liked the running gag of the victims saying they love their things more than their own children.

I like that this episode parodied the popular board game Dungeons and Dragons. It was nice seeing Sheriff Stone, Francille Jackson, Melvin Kiesterbom, and Hobert Fiest as kids playing the game Crypts and Creatures. Seeing Shaggy playing the game and acting it out was funny.

I liked the how the gang and Sheriff Stone defeated the Dreamweaver with the pulling of the masks and then telling him to confess. The motive was really silly. Hobert did all that just because his friends took his board game character.

Fred parents, Brad and Judy came back in this episode. He looks so shocked.

8/24/2022 09:16:38 am

This was a great episode! The Dreamweaver was arguably one of the creepiest villains of the series. I liked the D&D parody as well and interesting to see citizens of the town being into it as kids. The trap at the end was really cool. Yeah, the motive was pretty silly haha. The ending with Brad and Judy coming back was very dramatic.

The Curse Cabinet of Professor Madds Markson:
This was an amazing episode. I liked Penn and Teller as guest stars and enjoyed their magic tricks. The one with the sandwich hand was funny haha. Penn was giving Teller a hard time of being bored by his tricks. They also reminded me of Laurel and Hardy.

This episode had a very spooky atmospheric feel to it. The Ghost of Professor Madds Markson was a really creepy villain saying get out over and over again. The Madds Markson Monster was good too but it was pretty much just a copy of the mutant rabbit from BCSD episode Fright of Hand.

Hugh Hauser was a really creepy character. He kind of reminded me of Mr. Grizzly from Don’t Fool With A Phantom. The idea of the gang and the magic duo spending one night in the old Savannah Hotel for one night and he gives them $1 million dollars reminds me of them staying in the house for 5,000 dollars from A Night of Fright Is No Delight.

Its also cool that we see a picture of the Indian Witch Doctor from Decoy for a Dognapper. Daphne saying she speaks mime is a call back to BCSD episode There Wolf.

Penn was all devastated when he thought Teller was dead. Teller being the culprit the whole time was really surprising. He was the Madds Markson Monster, he operated the Ghost of Professor Madds Markson puppet and dressed up as Hugh Hauser. He did all of it to pull of a big magic trick to impress his associate Penn. Penn loved every minute of it then gave Teller and the gang a big hug.

WildwindVampire link

8/24/2022 05:14:12 pm

I enjoyed Penn and Teller as guest stars too. They didn't personally remind me of Laurel and Hardy, but I can see why it would remind somebody of that. I like Hugh Hauser as a character! There's definitely a lot of similarities to "A Night of Fright Is No Delight," at least with the first part of the episode. I liked how they called back to Daphne speaking mime. The twist at the end with thinking Teller died was really shocking, as was him being the culprit. The ending was cute.

The Wedding Witch of Wainsly Hall:
I must say this episode was pretty well done. It felt like one of the older episodes because of the creepy, spooky and dark setting and tone it had.

The Wedding Witch of Wainsly Hall was a really great, creepy and spooky villain. She acted pretty crazy and was always laughing and telling the gang they would never leave her home. How she came out of that picture frame was creepy. Her pretending to be a dress was creepy. It was also cool that she had telekinesis powers. I liked how she slowly backed into the kitchen cabinet.

Her baking a pie that can make people have weird dreams was interesting. The dream of Shaggy getting married to her, Jeff doing the dearly beloved thing and Scooby throwing flowers was funny. It got creepy when she turned everything back to normal.

Jeff Foxworthy was a good guest star. I say he blended in well with the gang. His interactions with Shaggy and Scooby were good. The county boy thing did get old pretty fast.

I say this is my favorite door gag scene of the series. Like it worked perfectly with the spooky setting of the episode. Shaggy and Scooby eating the old buffet food was disgusting like how they are the 70 old burger from Fastest Food Fiend.

WildwindVampire link

8/24/2022 10:27:48 pm

This episode really stood out to me for it's dark tone. The Wedding Witch of Wainsly Hall was such a creepy villain; in fact, I'd say she's one of my favorites in Guess Who. Her mannerisms and hiding in things were super spooky. The weird dream pie was another really creepy touch. I liked Jeff Foxworthy as a guest star. He fit in well with the gang, especially Shaggy and Scooby, but I agree with you that the "country boy" thing was said too much.

I liked the door gag in this one too. Yeah, Shaggy and Scooby eating food that was hundreds of years old was really gross.

Shadowscooby

8/24/2022 10:36:08 pm

I saw some connections between old Scooby episodes. The creepy setting of Wainsly Hall was like the creepy setting of Moody Manor. The Wedding Witch pushes the statue and it also at hits the gang then we see her on top of the mansion laughing. I think of that to The Ghost of Bigfoot pushing the rock almost hitting Laurel and Hardy then we see him on top of the mountain laughing. The shower scene reminds me of the shower scene from Curse of the Collar.

WildwindVampire link

8/24/2022 10:56:04 pm

That shower scene really reminded me of "Curse of the Collar" too, which was cool because I've always found that scene quite creepy.
