Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.

I'm not sure if "Scooby-Doo On Zombie Island" was supposed to create a new Scooby-Doo continuity with the many films being direct sequels. "Zombie Island" isn't alluded to at all here. What matters is that the animation in this film is great. It does seem to be on par with "Zombie Island" which was gorgeous. This was around the time 2D theatrically released films were declining. While these movies aren't as good as the animated DC films, they're still quite good. When you have a film this short, pacing is very important and that was done quite well here.This movie does in fact feature an actual hoax but the way it builds itself after this reveal is quite interesting. While not as dark as the previous entry, it does get adult. It's funny how we get so much more serious and realistic stuff with the characters that aren't Scooby or Shaggy. It seems like all the comedy is focused on them and that works out just fine. I may not be the biggest Scooby-Doo fan, but these movies are enjoyable. Many people don't realize how many of them there are! ***

It's not the one that started it all, but it is the first one I saw, the first one that said: "Look at me, Scooby Doo is relevant again!" And it was.Everything fit beautifully with the late 90s. The Stephen King parody, the Hex Girls quasi-Goth band with an environmentalist twist and a love for Wicca. Even the New England town told the viewers that, hey, Scooby Doo is updated, it is in the 90s, and it is not taking itself too seriously.The one regret is that there are no real masked villains, but even then, when you learn the truth, when the mystery is solved, the lack of a mask works for shock appeal.It is a great entry into the world of Scooby Doo and one that set the stage for the franchise to follow.

This was a decent movie, personally I liked "Scooby-Doo on Zombie Island", but this was good too.Tim Curry does an excellent job in the role of Ben Ravencroft, which is one of the most interesting characters from all the Scooby-Doo animations.The animation style from this movie is practically the same than the one from "Scooby Doo on Zombie Island", showing also the same kind of "darker" and slightly more mature treatment for the Scooby-Doo formula which that movie had. Personally, I think that was a good thing, since this is one of the best Scooby-Doo movies, being entertaining enough to be worth-watching, even if it is not a masterpiece.

Hi all! I just bought this DVD last night, since I hadn't seen it in years. I have no idea how I stayed away from it for so long! It is one my personal favorite Scooby-Doo movies yet! The plot is great. Mystery Inc. goes with horror writer Ben Ravencroft (voiced by Tim Curry) to his hometown for the Autumn Fest. Once they hear that Ben's ancestor, who was a Wiccan but was killed because they thought she was a witch, is haunting the town, the gang goes into action. The movie is very great, and just when you think the mystery's been solved, there is a BIG surprise. The music was also great. The Hex Girls songs are just awesome, and Billy Ray Cyrus was great singing the Scooby-Doo theme! This is a must watch for any Scooby-Doo fan!
