A big thank you to Shadowscooby for coming up with our Halloween poll this year! I really debated including Ghoul School since there is a brief scene where the Grimwood Girls celebrate Halloween with their fathers. I chose to leave it out so that the movies that were completely centered around Halloween could get the focus. In addition, I know Warner Brothers marketed Scooby-Doo! FrankenCreepy as a Halloween movie, but the movie does not make mention of Halloween, so I did not include that here either.

It seems like last week's results were pretty spread out, but there was one option that took a clear lead!
What is your favorite episode / film set in a castle?
Hassle in the Castle - 17
Scooby-Doo! FrankenCreepy  - 5
Scooby-Doo! The Sword and the Scoob - 5
Scooby-Doo and the Ghoul School - 4
A Gaggle of Galloping Ghosts - 4
Scooby-Doo and the Loch Ness Monster - 4
The Haunted Horseman of Hagglethorn Hall - 3
The Vampire Strikes Back - 3
Large Dragon at Large - 3
Scooby-Doo! Abracadabra Doo - 3
Scared a Lot in Camelot - 2
A Halloween Hassle at Dracula's Castle - 2
That's Monstertainment - 2
Scooby-Doo and the Reluctant Werewolf - 2
Scooby-Doo and the Goblin King - 2
Giant Problems - 2
A Highland Fling with a Monstrous Thing - 1
Scoobra Kadoobra - 1
How to Train Your Coward - 1
The Feast of Dr. Frankenfooder - 1

0 votes: Sir Scooby and the Black Knight, Moonlight Madness, Scooby and the Beanstalk, Who's Minding the Monster?, Me and My Shadow Demon, Party Like It's 1899, and LEGO Scooby-Doo: Knight Time Terror

Obviously Goblin King with it's unique concept. It's one I really didn't like. But the amount of monsters, the fact that the film focusses mostly on Shaggy and Scooby and that hilarious pumpkin.

Curiously though how exactly is Scooby-Doo & KISS: Rock and Roll Mystery considered to be a halloween movie per-say?

Great rankings! The KISS movie is the only one of this group I don't rewatch every Halloween, but I included since it's about KISS doing a Halloween concert.

I am a bad Scooby Doo fan. I have yet to see three of these, with the only one I have seen being Goblin King, which I do not like.

So here's what I'm going to try to do. I saw Trick or Treat is now on HBO Max, so I am going to try and watch that one sometime this week, and then compare from there

I am weird with the fact that I like to have a certain amount of Scooby stuff I haven't seen so I can have it just in case I get a feeling that I want to watch something new.

But, I do have a Halloween schedule, where I watch one episode or movie a day for the entire month of October, but they are all things I am familiar with. Partly because often times I am busy and it needs to be background noise. None of these movies are on my Scoobtober schedule lol

Aww, that doesn't make you a bad Scooby-Doo fan lol. I'd recommend watching Happy Halloween and Trick or Treat if you can, although I don't really like the KISS movie all that much, so I wouldn't necessarily recommend that one.

I've got a Halloween schedule of things to watch too haha. Mostly Scooby stuff, but I've also been watching some other Halloween films and doing my yearly rewatch of all the Simpsons Treehouse of Horror episodes (which gets bigger every year given there are 33 episodes, and there'll be 34 as of tonight lol).

So Goblin King would currently be your de facto winner here lol. Who would've thought.
Try to watch Happy Halloween too. You can skip Kiss unless you wanna know what an acid trip is.

I have not yet seen Trick or Treat in its entirety yet but based on the numerous clips I have seen, I am pretty sure it would actually be in my top 5 Scooby Doo films. I should be getting the Trick or Treat DVD in the mail in the next couple days. I will watch it and then do my rankings!

Yeah, I remember you didn't really care for Happy Halloween's second half all that much due to the car chase. It didn't really bother me personally, but I can definitely understand why it would annoy others. Great to see the love for Goblin King!

4. Scooby-Doo & KISS: Rock and Roll Mystery - This movie was okay, but it got extremely weird at times, and not necessarily in a fun way like Goblin King lol.

3. Happy Halloween, Scooby-Doo! - a big step up from KISS. I know it bothered some people that most of this movie was a car chase, but I really enjoyed this film. It had a very Halloween-y vibe to it and I liked the Jackal-Lanterns as villains. Bill Nye fit well and didn't feel out of place. I liked him a lot better in this one as compared to "Space Station Scooby," where he felt a little flat IMO.

2. Trick or Treat, Scooby-Doo! - very wacky film (especially the last 20 minutes) but I thought this film was amazing. The Misery Company were great villains, and the weirdness of the film actually worked quite well for it. This was a breath of fresh air after so many crossover DTVs.

1. Scooby-Doo and the Goblin King - super weird but I love it. I watch this every single Halloween, and it's one of those movies that never fails to get me in the Halloween spirit.

Yeah, I can agree that Kiss: Rock & Roll Mystery does get weird at times, especially with the whole kissteria dimension scene, but it is still a fun movie to revisit now and then.

WildwindVampire link
10/23/2022 07:32:17 pm

Yeah, the Kissteria Dimension was the super weird part for me. I'll maybe have to rewatch it one of these days as tbh, I haven't seen the movie since it first came out.

I may have to say Trick or Treat Scooby-Doo! for this one. I haven’t seen Goblin King, or really any of the What’s New era movies, in years (although that is the final movie that I ever watched with my grandfather, so it is still important to me) so I don’t have a fully formed opinion on it anymore. I’m not a particular fan of the KISS movie and while I do like Happy Halloween’s trick-or-treat vibes probably the best, having just tonight finally watched Trick or Treat Scooby-Doo! I can definitely say that that movie is a funny and loving tribute to the franchise. Imperfect, but something that really did a lot of things that I have always wanted to see out of a Scooby-Doo movie! So for now, it is getting my vote. If Happy Halloween hadn’t been mostly driving I would have maybe picked it, and maybe upon rewatches my thoughts will change.

Absolutely agreed about Trick or Treat being a great tribute to the franchise! There were a few things that could have been developed more and done better IMO, like Daphne's subplot of not knowing her role within the gang, but I still thought the movie was amazing. The driving in Happy Halloween didn't bother me as much as it did others, but I agree that it brings it a bit below Trick or Treat's quality.

4)Rock N Roll Mystery: This wasn't a bad movie but really messy in a meh way. I am a kiss fan but i didn't find their portrayals in this film interesting at all (Paul Stanley and Daphne crushing on each other was very weird to me considering the age difference btw)

3)Trick Or Treat: It was a wacky movie. At some points wackier than i could handle but it was a good film

2)Happy Halloween: I enjoyed that film a lot. It was a nice halloween adventure

1)Goblin King: The third movie i ever owned. So much nostalgia, i liked the weird plot, i liked everything about it

Couldn't agree more with all your opinions. The only thing I'd personally switch around in my own rankings is Trick or Treat would be second and Happy Halloween would be third, but otherwise I agree with everything you said.

I haven't seen trick or treat yet (and that would probably be my fav, just from what I've seen).

I love the Goblin King, very nostalgic to me.

I love KISS and enjoyed the movie very much from a fan's perspective (all the easter eggs most people didn't catch).

I didn't like Happy Halloween. It felt like it was about to start the whole way through.... I found it very boring.

Just watched Trick or Treat, Scooby Doo today! Time for my rankings!
4) Goblin King - Just not my thing.
3) Happy Halloween, Scooby Doo - Fun pumpkins. Daphne in action mode.
2) Rock n Roll - Nice music scenes.
1) Trick or Treat, Scooby Doo - A very good movie with very expressive animation. I prefer this look compared to the bland, generic dtv look of the past 10 years. Each member of the gang has their own subplot but only Shaggy and Scooby's is well fleshed out. Velma's is done too basic, Fred's isn't given enough time to fester and truly permeate the narrative, and Daphne's subplot is completely underutilized. Throughput the movie, a big bunch of emphasis is put on Shaggy and Scooby's plans with a great payoff at the end.
I love the utilization of the wishing well, both early on and at the end. The detention remark was interesting.
Shaggy being in disguise as the client is a very clever move.
I love that Coco's cat says No in a deep voice at the end.
Another thing that didn't really work for me was all of the forced "nostalgia.' We get it, Space Kook, Captain Cutler, hahaha, so clever.
Also having all the villains escape from prison and having the gang recapture them so easily, not only felt like a copout, but also like something that they would do on a "movie of the week."
Most of the animation choices benefitted the film but some did not such as the character design for the warden.
Lastly, I would like to speak on the film's soundtrack. It is amazing! Change is in my top 10 ( non tv theme) Songs in the franchise. In fact, it is one of the better songs I've heard period. The other three songs are really good as well.
P.S. Not quite as high as I thought but I thought it might be interesting to show where it ranks in my list of top 10 Scooby Doo movies.
My Top 10 Scooby Doo Movies
10) Cyber Chase
9)Chill Out
8) Zombie Island
7) Reluctant Werewolf
6) Trick or Treat
5) Legend of the Vampire
4) Alien Invaders
3) Arabian Nights
2) Boo Brothers
1) Scooby Goes Hollywood

I like how expressive the animation of Trick or Treat was too! Agreed that Daphne's subplot was underdeveloped, but Velma and Fred's worked for me personally. I like Shaggy and Scooby's subplot the best. The wishing well scene, especially at the end, was absolutely incredible. I loved Esteban's deep voice at the end too haha. The randomness towards the end of this film was great lol. Tbh, I've complained a lot about forced nostalgia in the past few years, but the nostalgia worked for me here. It felt like they actually tied it into the plot for once, instead of just having Captain Cutler or Space Kook show up for no reason like in the couple Guess Who episodes they were in and the countless cameos in recent DTVs. The villains being recaptured easily didn't bother me too much either. Overall, I have no complaints about the movie other than I thought Daphne's subplot felt rushed and forced in, and the snot jokes weren't great either. I agree with you the character design of the warden wasn't the best. I loved the soundtrack too! All of the songs in the film sounded amazing. I won't share my movie rankings yet since I am actually writing up a post with my movie rankings now, but I will say it's in my top 20. I love your movie rankings! I don't think I've ever seen Arabian Nights so high in someone's rankings, but I appreciate that it's so high. The movie is a bit overhated in my opinion. I don't feel there's anything wrong with Arabian Nights beyond that it was advertised as a Scooby movie when Scooby's only in about 20% of it, but I'm a Hanna-Barbera fan as well so I enjoyed the Yogi and Magilla plots.

it will be dissappointing if goblin king doesn't win in a landslide, it's the only one that didn't feel insulting. kiss would've been great if they didn't mess up the ending. Happy halloween, while not bad is damaged because it tries to focus on velma who at this point is more annoying then scrappy. Trick or treat is just nostalgia bait, Coco is way too animated and them saying Daphne is the actual leader and making fred dim-witted when guess who was trying to make him somewhat intelligent again rubs me the wrong way.

I explained why I personally found those three insulting. I will say kiss maybe would be better to saying the ending is disappointing but both of the others to me are insulting. Happy Halloween is really one I could do a whole rant video on YouTube that is 20 minutes or long.

Matt

I understand why you dislike the movies, but I think insulting might be the wrong term with what you said up there. With “insulting”, it is an attack at YOU personally, or saying something to belittle you or the audience in general or something. Which is different than just not liking the product given to you, which would be disliking it or just thinking it is bad

WildwindVampire link

I personally thought Velma was better in Happy Halloween, in the sense that they gave her a reason for being so profusely logic. While the Velma in that movie still isn’t perfect, I didn’t think she was obnoxious or overbearing like in the previous two.

I’m also curious about the question Matt asked, since I agree with you the KISS DTV is not a great movie, but I don’t know what you mean by “insulting.”

4. Scooby Doo Kiss Rock and Roll Mystery: I did enjoy the movie. The Kissteria Realm was the craziest part about the movie because it was a direction I didn’t think the movie would go, especially in a movie with KISS. And Velma deduced that the realm was caused by a Mass Hallucination was her top 3 worst explanations along with Swamp Gas from Return to Zombie Island and Himalayan Hallucinations from the 13th Ghost movie.

3. Happy Halloween Scooby Doo!: A step up from Return to Zombie Island and Curse of the 13th Ghost that came before it. It even had a quirky Daphne, which was refreshing for her classic design. The car chase is where the movie kinda slowed down for me. It went on longer than it should have.

?? Scooby Doo and the Goblin King & Trick or Treat Scooby Doo: I’m gonna be honest, I have no idea which one is number 1 for me.
Goblin King went in a mystical magical direction that was a nice change of pace for the franchise. Jack was a great villain! But I Honestly wished that Fred, Daphne and Velma weren’t left out of the adventure. I always loved it when they’re all together, so that way they balance each other out.

Trick or Treat Scooby Doo was really funny and I loved it from start to finish. I love comedy so I’m glad this movie went in that direction. I also liked the animation, which suited the movie well, to the point that I want another movie animated like this again with the same level of comedy. I love how some parts felt random, especially the last part of the movie when the criminals escaped prison. Anyone else notice that the Sheriff was sitting at a desk playing Solitaire both times he came on the scene. He even brought his desk when they caught Warden Collins! He must love Solitaire lol!

So I don’t know. I might have to Rock Paper Scissors lol.
I do enjoy these polls. They make me go back and watch the episodes or movies they give. Sometimes I don’t even answer the poll question cause I still haven’t finished watching the choices. I want to give an honest assessment!

It's been so long since I've seen the film that I forgot Velma said it was a mass hallucination! *facepalm*

Completely agreed on Happy Halloween. I enjoyed the return of quirky Daphne. The car chase went on a little long but it didn't bother me.

I didn't really mind that Fred, Daphne and Velma weren't in the adventure this one time, but I think it would have bothered me if they would have made it a normal thing.

I loved Trick or Treat too. The comedy and animation were both great. I didn't notice that about the sheriff, but that's really funny lol.

I'm glad you enjoy the polls so much! :)
