Working on this for awhile,but I wanted to imagine what would of happened to the other Hanna-barbera mystery shows if they were updated as much as scooby doo was.so, I choose to modernize/redesign the funky phantom and crew,modernizing the art-style a little while keeping its traits and updating the wardrobe. I had gotten this idea when I had first saw that the funky phantom was supposed to be In the scoob movie and even made it as far as an animatic of Mudsy haunting a house.So, in my modern take of how the funky phantom crew meet, skip, April,augie, and Elmo of course find the haunted house trying to get away front the rain that’s home to the grandfather clock that Mudsy and boo got stuck in.
The ghosts that’s fabled to haunt the house starts chasing and terrorizing them through the place and causing supernatural illusions of the whole house till they notice that the grandfather clock has been left alone, and that the time on it was wrong.They race to the clock,fixing the time, and the terrifying ghosts chasing them are pulled back into the now shaking grandfather clock.It rings for midnight and out comes flying the regular forms Mudsy and boo as they are flung out into the middle of the floor.acid shenanigans and confusion for the teens and dog as the ghosts that have been chasing them for the last couple of hours, are now running in terror from them.
After getting the two to calm down, Mudsy introduces themselves and explains that him and boo were chased into the clock during the revolutionary war, being chased by what they thought were redcoats but thinking about it,what chased them was much to large to be what was normal for a human, only they had meant to hide in it and were instead trapped inside,the clock becoming their final resting place.They don’t remember much else,their time as ghosts haunting the house over the years being very hazy,or why they acted in such a way.
Cue the teens having their first long running mystery of helping Mudsy and boo find out what happened to them,what chased them into that clock so many years ago, where did the grandfather clock came from that seemed connected to why they acted like stereotypical ghost over the years as inspecting the clock came to the realization it was missing pieces to be able to ring at midnight in the first place,and whose house was this in the first place as Mudsy explains it was abandoned even in their time. So Mudsy and Boo join the others and the group help solve mysteries along the way of finding out the own mystery behind their new ghostly companions.
this fandom may be made up of five people and a tin can but
@muddlemore and I still made a discord for it :3
