Ameriatch One of the best films i have seen

StyleSk8r At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

Melanie Bouvet The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.

Myron Clemons A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.

OllieSuave-007 After many ghost-unmasking mysteries in the dozens of Scooby-Doo episodes, this series incarnation of the Great Dane features real ghosts - 13 of them, inadvertently released from an old red chest. As a result, it is up to the Mystery, Inc. gang to do their clue-finding and mystery solving acts to bust these demons.Best friends Scooby and Shaggy continue their wise-cracking, slapstick comic relief in their food-loving characteristics and in their humorous ways in case solving. Daphne and Scrappy returns - the more serious and go-get'em of the bunch, now joined by new character Film Flam. He's an OK character some of the time, but he can be an overly assertive, a blabbermouth and too overzealous. Also, another new character, Vincent Van Ghoul, serves as a nice addition to the cast - instructing and helping the Mystery, Inc. gang out in catching the demons and lending his magic when need be.With real ghosts in this series, the stories are more daring and creepy, and still keeping up the entertainment, laughs, jokes and fun adventures. The haunting and foreboding theme music in the opening and end credits remind you that the Scooby-Doo series has taken a new turn.Still missing the flavor of the original Mystery, Inc. gang and the episodes overall are entertaining, but not as great as the shows with the original crew. Grade B

ikrani Seriously, compared to his role as Egghead in the Adam West Batman series and what he would later describe as his favorite role as Ratigan in the Great Mouse Detective, Vincent Price doesn't sound like he's trying.This show has an equal amount of good and bad. On one hand, we have an all-new premise that involves Scooby, Shaggy, Daphne, and a really downplayed Scrappy Doo teaming up with an insufferably street con name Film Flam and Vincent van Ghoul, who is a parody of every single role Vincent Price had played to date. Said premise is that Scooby accidentally releases "13 of the world's most horrifying ghosts" upon humanity and, since he was the one who let them out, only he can put them back in their demonic-looking chest.On the other hand, we have Film Flam. I didn't find him annoying as a kid, but in rewatching a few episodes I found his arrogant attitude to be insufferable. Scrappy Doo didn't help matters, but thankfully the creators realized how annoying he was and toned it down a bit.This series also suffers from plot holes, especially in the episode involving a time-traveling ghost. Not only that, but Vincent Price really sounds like he's having regrets about signing on to this show. I'd cite his age as a factor (the man WAS 74 when he worked on this), but he did so well in The Great Mouse Detective, which came out a year later. Seriously, if you're a fan of Vincent Price's slightly over-the-top performances as creepy types who murder people, you might find this show to be unsettling.It's not the most enjoyable of the Scooby-Doo franchise, but I've seen far worse.

Oddark123 The Scooby Doo franchise went through a lot of changes over the years and IMO only really went downhill as of late, and the 13 Ghosts clearly was not one of them. This is truly one of the short-lived greats of it's time.Considering this is a typical Hanna Barbera affair everyone coming in should know what to expect, limited animation, great voices, and jokes that never get old.The 13 Ghosts of Scooby Doo takes a new twist on the Scooby franchise by introducing a demon chest, although the show is entitled the 13 ghosts, out of the 11 featured characters, the word demons seems more appropriate than ghosts, but the show clearly uses the words interchangeably. And while previous incarnations of Scooby featured real monsters, for the first time the monsters are real and also an actual threat to the world.The demons themselves vary and even though we only saw 11 of the 13, several of the ones shown were amazingly great. Maldor the Malevalent's magic spells and lines are easily memorable. Demondo leader of the comics, Nicara the enchantress and Professor Phantasmo who's calliope that disguises an army full on monsters, monsters, monsters!! are all present and great, even down to Time Slime the lord of time, who manages to lead the take over the entire world when Scooby retires.The gang itself is changed for this incarnation. Scooby and Shaggy clearly return, as do Daphne and Scrappy who were present in the previous incarnation. We also see the addition of the con-man child Film Flam and the epic Vincent Van Ghoul (voiced by the amazing Vincent Price) as the gang's overseer on this quest. The show also has recurring hilarious ghosts in Bogel and Weerd.This is a show that sadly was never completed, but it was a great memory. I can quote so much of this show from memory and it's a true great series you can watch all in one day and role with the laughter. I recommend this great show to anyone to enjoy

TheLittleSongbird I actually like this show, it was much better than expected and than I remembered. The animation considering when it was made was not that bad, and the theme tune and incidental music were great too. I don't think it is as good as Scooby Doo Where Are You? but it is not bad at all, and does have a great idea. Yes, the villains weren't quite as memorable as they could have been, Zomba and Maldor excepted, Film Flam is annoying and some of the writing wasn't as inventive as it had potential to have with Film Flam's goofy sayings not always working. Bogal and Weerd I can take and leave. Still the voice acting is fantastic, Casey Kasem and Don Messick never fail to bring a smile to my face as Shaggy and Scooby, and hold no equal as the lovable characters I have come to know and love. But my favourite character is Vincent VanGhoul, magnificently voiced by the wonderful Vincent Price and even looks like him. He had the best lines of the whole show especially the prologues at the start of each episode, and Price's delivery was flawless. And I loved the story lines of Maldor, Zomba(the best one), Vincent falling in love and the Shadow Demon. All in all, not the best our favourite canine has to offer as it did finish on a rather incomplete note, but not at all bad, better than the appalling Shaggy and Scooby Doo:Get a Clue at any rate. 7.5/10 Bethany Cox
