This is a warning to all living mortals that whosoever opens this chest of demons... 

[disgruntleddemon]

decided to do an adult scrappy design! he gets to be quadrupedal now. we're not having another dixie or doobie doo situation on our hands lol.

i gave him a red collar after the red shirt shaggy movies, and Scoob's red collar in cyberchase. his tag is too small and a different color since it's his old puppy tag! he kept it out of nostolgia <33

his scars are more from general accidents rather than getting into fights or anything. he's just a rough and tumble guy. while he definitely chilled out as he grew up, he's still adventurous and energetic. impulsive at times too. also, while i think he still loves and respects scooby, he's much more teasing of him now lol

i thought about it a bit, and i think i like the idea of him becoming Flim Flam and VanGhoul's dog! him and Flim Flam are like their own version of shaggy and scooby. just really well matched. i also already hced Flim Flam as Vincent's apprentice/adoptive son, so this goes along w that.

Scrappy becomes a lot less wary of the supernatural as he grows up, and is really fascinated by it. he gets plenty of time to learn about it living in Vincent's castle lmao.

anyways, that's most of my thoughts for now! he is simply a sily lil guy, even when he's much bigger <33

all these people have been 'part of the gang' for at least one series. there ARE wrong answers

[plague-vulture]

Vincent VanGhoul movies are the kind of thing people would hate when they came out but then they develop a massive cult following of beautiful beautiful women and men with long hair and awful music taste

Scooby-Doo! and the Curse of the 13th Ghost - USA, 2019

Scooby-Doo! and the Curse of the 13th Ghost – USA, 2019

Scooby-Doo! and the Curse of the 13th Ghost  is a 2019 American animated comedy horror feature film directed by Cecilia Aranovich Hamilton from a screenplay by Tim Sheridan. The movie features the voices of Frank Welker, Grey Griffin, Matthew Lillard, Kate Micucci, and Maurice LaMarche as Vincent VanGhoul.

Warner Bros. Home Entertainment will release Scooby-Doo! and the Curse of the 13th Ghoston…

[wackology]

Look, HB, I get it. Ya needed some quick one time villians to make up your bad guy team for your crossover olympics au fanfic. Ya also needed bad guys that wouldn't provoke the merciless rage of copyright lawyers so you took two bad guys and shuffled them up a bit to make new characters. The least you could have done was not make the artstyles contrast so much, it makes the scoob movie look like an absolute masterpiece.

Also, there are two mustache dudes (3 counting the creepy dude). You can't overdo the staches.

“SCOOBY-DOO! AND THE CURSE OF THE 13TH GHOST” - MY SPOILER REVIEW

SPOILERS AHEAD -- I was so so SO excited for the "Scooby-Doo! And the Curse of the 13th Ghost" movie that came out on DVD and digital yesterday. I picked it up after work and went home to watch it almost immediately. My excitement and nostalgia for this movie was something I hadn't felt for a Scooby-Doo movie in a while. And...I finished it disappointed on a few levels... The entire concept for this movie was phenomenal: Let's take a 34-year old plot hole created from an obscure era of Scooby-Doo and resolve it with an awesome DTV movie in the 50th year of the franchise's life. But instead what we got was: Let's take a 34-year old plot hole created from an obscure era of Scooby-Doo and attempt to resolve it by writing out characters, rationalizing the supernatural aspects of the story, and creating even MORE plot holes. 

The movie had a great set-up and was going well for probably the first half of the movie. I'll discuss real quick what I personally like about this movie before going into what I didn't: 1) I thoroughly enjoyed the backstory of the Chest of Demons (COD) and learning about how Vincent VanGhoul himself had to capture the 13 ghosts (I'm going to refer to them as The 13 from this point forward) before Scooby and Shaggy ever released them in the original series. I think that's great character development, storytelling, and additional information that was lacking in the original series. I always had a hunch that Vincent was responsible for creating the COD and capturing The 13 in the first place, when really he didn't actually create the COD but rather discovered it and made the same mistake Scooby and Shaggy made. 2) I think that the design of Asmodeus (the 13th ghost that was never captured) was fantastic. His head shape is reminiscent of the COD itself as well as the collective entity of The 13 that we see escape in the first episode of "The 13 Ghosts of Scooby-Doo". I *think* Asmodeus is supposed to be considered the first being to ever enter the COD, and him supposedly being the most powerful of The 13 makes him an interesting antagonist for the group. Especially when it's learned that he is actually Vincent VanGhoul's ancestor, adding to the world-building and justifying further Vincent's self-appointed responsibility to recapture The 13. His name is also interesting since “Asmodeus” is actually a being believed to be the “king of demons” as he is also stated to be in this movie. Just an interesting tie-in to real mythology that the other twelve ghosts of the chest lack. 

3) Based on elements of the original series, I enjoyed the movie's occasional call-backs. I think bringing Flim-Flam back was a good choice and having him grow up a little but maintain the same personality was delightful (despite him not being a favorite character of mine AT ALL). The return of the Red Mystery Machine was great too. The COD was modernized in style (as was the Red Mystery Machine) but it still looked menacing. 4) The humor was for the most-part great. I think the joke of older people being scared of teenagers was great, especially when it suddenly and unexpectedly was said again by a different character. Other instances of humor I enjoyed were when Scooby and Shaggy were roleplaying as flight attendants/plane pilots or when Flim-Flam commented on Daphne's hair and Shaggy's green shirt (for those who don't know, Shaggy wore a red shirt in the original series).

Now for the things I took issues with... 1) I DESPISE how the lore and threat of Asmodeus was undone by the character we see throughout the movie just being a man in a costume. The whole point of this movie was to revive the supernatural storyline of "The 13 Ghosts of Scooby-Doo" and finally finish the gang's quest. The ghost turning out to be a man in a mask ruined the story and I think this should be borderline false-advertising (not really but still!). I really wanted to see the characters struggle to face off with the most powerful ghost among The 13, who again are the most powerful supernatural entities the world has ever known! I would have LOVED to see them be brutally scared and terrified of this ghost because of who he is, and I also wanted to see someone maybe be forced or hypnotized or tricked into opening the COD again. If the real COD had been opened again it could've made the whole situation more dire. This would've made the ending of the movie really dramatic; watching the gang and Vincent and Flim-Flam work together to recapture the twelve ghosts inside the COD as well as the most powerful of The 13 as a whole would have been fantastic. I can only imagine the explosive scene and visuals we would've gotten if this were the case. I know I can't fault the movie for not going this route too much, but the fact it didn't and further downplayed the supernatural characteristics of the original show and Asmodeus left a bad taste in my mouth. 2) The absence of Scrappy-Doo was a debated topic for this movie since it was initially announced. Everyone speculated if he would make an appearance, be referenced to, or the movie just not acknowledge his existence at all. I'll admit, the "What's a Scrappy?" joke from Velma did get a laugh out of me but I almost would've rather had the movie ignore the problem altogether. My IDEAL outcome of this dilemma would just be for Warner Bros. to swallow their pride and include Scrappy in the movie. He was a prominent and regular character of "The 13 Ghosts of Scooby-Doo" so reviving the storyline for a movie doesn't make sense without him there. I don't know if the joke was supposed to satirize the franchise's willingness to ignore the existence of this character but it just doesn't make sense story-wise. It skews continuity (which is my next point) and confuses fans of the series. Scrappy isn't an entirely untouchable or irredeemable character either; he has become a prominent and likable character in the "Scooby Apocalypse" comic book series. In fact he's one of the better characters in that comic series because of his character development and instilled morals. Why couldn't Warner Bros. just put in the work and make the character a functional and non-detrimental element of this movie? People hated Flim-Flam a lot more than they hated Scrappy, and even he got to come back. (But I also acknowledge they didn’t bring back Weerd and Bogel either). 

3) This movie presents so many issues in terms of continuity. It's not the movie's sole fault; I don't think Scooby-Doo and continuity are compatible to begin with. But here's a couple issues with continuity I think need to be addressed if this movie is supposed to be a continuation of the original series:   a) The Sheriff at the beginning of the movie says that the gang "is almost 18 now" which means that they are still teenagers. I'm pretty sure that Daphne and Shaggy were supposed to be portrayed as older versions of themselves (maybe early 20's) in "The 13 Ghosts of Scooby-Doo”. They were flying planes and traveling all over the world. And if time has truly passed between "The 13 Ghosts of Scooby-Doo" and this movie, that would mean Daphne and Shaggy were probably like, 15 or 16, when they went in search of The 13 in the first place. I wish they would stop calling them teenagers in stories where it doesn't make sense AT ALL for them to be teenagers. Kids are able to enjoy Scooby-Doo just as much regardless of the gang's age because they just want to watch a talking dog be scared by ghosts and monsters. They're not watching because they personally identify with the gang since the gang are teenagers. The only time their age was maybe at all important was in "A Pup Named Scooby-Doo" because the very premise was that the gang were kids. Why do they have to be teenagers in this movie? The answer is, there is no reason. WB just insists they're still teenagers.   b) Before I say this, I just want to acknowledge that "Scooby-Doo! Mystery Incorporated" is supposed to be an alternate universe to the "main continuity" (if that even exists) of Scooby-Doo. So it's interesting to see that both that series and this movie make reference to "The 13 Ghosts of Scooby-Doo", yet "Scooby-Doo! Mystery Incorporated" actually acknowledged the existence of Scrappy along with Flim-Flam. The same excuse was used that Fred wasn't in the original cartoon because he was at summer camp, however Flim-Flam in the "Scooby-Doo! Mystery Incorporated" timeline is apparently serving 25 years to life for his con-artistry. This isn't something I'm mad about for this movie, just thought it was something that should be said since the movie decided to write-out Scrappy. 

    c) Just...don’t get me started on the continuity dumpster-fire that is the garage sale scene...it’s nostalgic but just...please don’t...

   d) After the gang discovers the crystal ball in the garage sale, Daphne explains a lot of the backstory to Fred and Velma in her bedroom. At one point, she throws an outfit on Fred, and when we see it land on Fred we can ALSO see a picture frame on her nightstand showing the whole gang unmasking the Moat Monster. For those who may not remember, the Moat Monster is the green villain in the flashback at the beginning of "Scooby-Doo on Zombie Island". I'm not saying that this case couldn't have been solved between the events of "The 13 Ghosts of Scooby-Doo" and this movie; the case was a flashback in "Scooby-Doo on Zombie Island". But if this movie is trying to say that it takes place in the same continuity as "Scooby-Doo on Zombie Island", how can the gang be so baffled by the existence of real zombies and cat creatures when they, or at least Scooby, Shaggy, and Daphne, have encountered THE 13 MOST TERRIFYING GHOSTS ON THE FACE OF THE EARTH??? You could say that the events of "Zombie Island" don't ultimately happen in this timeline, which is fine, but then why reference that movie at all? 

4) Velma and Fred are very frustrating characters in this movie. I'll start with Fred here though. While I like the group-dynamic shifting with Daphne taking on leadership in their mission and making Fred step-aside, I don't like that they focused Fred's story-arc on him trying to find his place in the group. It's like the movie is trying to make us feel sorry for a man because a woman is stepping up for once. I liked watching Daphne take charge and show Fred that she, as well as Scooby and Shaggy, are able to handle things without his leadership. I have no sympathy for Fred in this movie, and when he reveals he actually went to cheerleading camp when he was gone in the original series? He instantly becomes 100% more frustrating than he already has been, Velma on the other hand becomes exhausting. After the crystal ball is discovered, EVERY SINGLE LINE OF DIALOGUE she has is devoted to her denial or skepticism in the supernatural. Yes, Velma would be the one to question the existence of real ghosts between her and Fred (this was central to her story-arc in "Scooby-Doo! Frankencreepy"). But when that's literally the only thing she has going on, Velma just becomes a flat, uninteresting, and annoying character. Especially when we, the viewer, know for a fact that the ghosts in the original show were real. And then her rationalization of the other twelve ghosts being hallucinations that Shaggy, Scooby, and Daphne experienced at the high-altitude of the Himalayas was maddening. I don't know if Warner Bros. was trying to undo the existence of the supernatural in this timeline of Scooby-Doo or not, but it doesn't make sense anyway because in the show, the gang wasn't in the Himalayas the whole time. They opened the COD in the temple and then traveled all over the world to pursue them. So Velma's explanation of this is ultimately as weak as wet toilet paper. And then her rationale is undermined by her reluctance to open the COD when they are boarding the plane at the end of the movie. All around Velma is my LEAST favorite thing about this movie. 

5) People have mentioned that there were potentially only 11 ghosts captured in the original series since one episode they didn't explicitly capture a new ghost but rather recaptured the four ghosts they had already captured. I just want to believe the Cyclone Ghost that appeared in that episode (which to some is actually an amalgamation of those four ghosts) is really just another one of The 13. That way we don't end up needing a "Scooby-Doo! And the Curse of the 12th Ghost". But I'm personally very fine with it if you disagree with me on this.   6) I don't know if it was or not, but I'm unsure if Scooby and Shaggy's gag with Asmodeus in the temple pretending to be meditating monks(?) was appropriate. Just a minor comment I wanted to throw out there since they decided to somewhat identify a specific culture in the setting of this movie. 7) This movie doesn't explain the ending well whatsoever. The lack of clarity I had after Asmodeus was unmasked was painful. And the plot-holes I found and questions I have are endless. Where has Mortifer been this whole time since he disappeared when he and Vincent finished capturing The 13 the first time? Is he immortal like Vincent or did he become immortal when the ghosts attacked him? What is his motivation to reopen the COD? Why would he want to reopen the COD when he's SIMULTANEOUSLY trying to sell it on the black market for being a priceless supernatural artifact? The COD is supposed to be an obscure and low-key artifact, so why would it even have value on the black market and how much would it even be worth? Would it's worth vary if it still contained The 13? If Asmodeus was really a disguise and not a real ghost, why couldn't Vincent use his magic powers? Why is there a secret FBI agent in this movie? Why does the FBI know anything about the COD? How could the FBI have even known that the gang might have the COD at the beginning of the movie? Did Velma actually misread the Sanskrit in the book, and did the REAL Asmodeus actually move on from the mortal realm? Is it even safe for Asmodeus to still be allowed out of the COD? What was the real Asmodeus protecting Vincent from this whole time, was it Mortifer? How was the real Asmodeus able to conceal himself from Vincent's and the gang's radar in the original show if he was apparently watching over Vincent in an attempt to "protect him"? Why was Daphne, Shaggy, and Scooby so okay with just abandoning the mission when they went back to school that year? Did they ever try to check up with Vincent to see if he managed to capture the 13th ghost? How did the gang just not know at all that Daphne had the Red Mystery Machine just chilling in the garage? Why does she have it if she evidently never drives it? Did Mortifer have actual magical powers or was he just a silly illusionist? If he isn't actually magical, then how was he able to drive that ghost car throughout the movie without being inside it? WHAT EVEN WAS THE CURSE OF THE 13TH GHOST?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?! --- I could probably go on and on about my thoughts on this movie but these are what I wanted to talk about and mention since this movie was highly anticipated. I think it fails to satisfy what fans wanted out of its attempt to bring closure to "The 13 Ghosts of Scooby-Doo". "The 13 Ghosts of Scooby-Doo" is an obscure and borderline black sheep of the Scooby-Doo franchise so it was going to be really cool to see an "attempt" at resolving the unfinished story. I just think this movie could've done better and ultimately leaves a lot to be desired. I’m giving this movie a neutral 5/10.

(Understand this review is independent of That Groovy Scoobcast)

What are your thoughts? Do you agree with my opinions or disagree? Did you have other questions that I didn't mention already? Or any plot holes I overlooked? I’d love to hear what you have to say.

              A CLUE FOR YOU –––– after launching the blake for all foundation and the success of her first skincare launch, I imagine Dawn hounding Daphne for chances to model for her upcoming makeup line ‘Just Like Other Girls’, and while Daph is reluctant at first, this allows them to grow closer. However, Daphne’s launch is interrupted by the death/murder of their parents, and it’s after the launch goes live and sells out that Daphne’s investigation begins to go off the rails a bit, timeline wise. 

EDIT: Daphne eventually also puts out a collab Vincent Vanghoul and the Hex Girls, individually. And then, when the mystery machine has to be retired, she’s inspired to put out a collection inspired by the mystery gang’s adventures.  With Vincent Vanghoul, she invests in a small special fx makeup collection, and a special “UNMASKER” aka heavy-strength but skin-friendly makeup remover. And with the Hex Girls, they launch a vault collection of multipurpose lipsticks.

Scrappy Doo: The curse remains.... by SilverZeo

Yeah... Scooby Doo and The Curse of the 13th Ghost was a total bust. Basically: It tries to link the 13 Ghosts of Scooby Doo to the "main" time line of the franchise, all the while trying to make it seem like everything in the show didn't happen... .... .... No. Really. That's how they have it explained in the movie. They tight rope the concept of ghosting being real and being fake and it makes this movie rather pointless. Infact. NONE of the pass ghosts/demons show up in this movie! Speaking of not showing up, they did something surprising but not really in this: Scrappy is not in this... as well as the show itself. No, really. The opening credits that is a montage of the show actually seem to have everyone but Scrappy (and those 2 hench-ghosts as well, but still), When FLim-Flam teams up with the whole gang, he asks where Scrappy, and the Fred and Velma just seem confuse to what a "Scrappy" is. It is NEVER brought up  again, or expand upon. It was just a throwaway line. So Scrappy went from being "not to be spoken" of by the gang; to be "completely wipe away from their memory" by the gang. He wasn't a villain, nor was a he a joke. He just didn't exist outside from Flim-Flam in just one line... Flim-Flam and Vincent VanGhoul got their send offs from the franchise now...   while I think the only way Scrappy will make an animated return if DC Comics try to adapt their Scooby Apocalypse into a movie... but even then, it won't be the REAL Scrappy Doo... And since me and so many other fans who think Scrappy got enough trash dump on him, this movie was our last hope for the pint-size power-punching-pup... this was a HUGE disappointment. Even more for Scrappy himself. As I see it: All that Scrappy wants now, after his stardom has faded so long ago, is a little sign of love and affection from his closest friends... his family... which did not happened. And since this was THE chance for him to given another shot... and they just retcon him out of it. So with a heavy sigh, he takes off his collar, takes one last look at the picture of the gang in the tag-locket.. and leaves it behind as Scrappy moves on with life. He can't wait for his Uncle Scooby too come back for him.... This year marks Scrappy's 40th birthday... lets try to make it the best year for Scrappy. FLood the site and social media with fanart of him to give him some just and respect... to at least prove that hating a character is a waste of time, especially to one that help save a show and didn't deserve this disrespect...

Cartoon Review: Scooby-Doo! And The Curse Of The 13th Ghost   Wikipedia: Scooby-Doo! and the Curse of the 13th Ghost is a 2019 American animated direct-to-video supernatural comedy mystery film produced by Warner Bros. Animation and distributed by Warner Bros. Home Entertainment, and the thirty-second entry in the direct-to-video series of Scooby-Doo films. The film is based on The 13 Ghosts of Scooby-Doo and serves as a series finale to that incarnation, tying up hanging plot threads. The film was released on DVD and digital on February 5, 2019 Special Features: Fine. 2 episodes of The 13 Ghosts of Scooby Doo and a total of 4 trailers. Episodes: S01E01 To All the Ghouls I've Loved Before (First Episode) S01E13 Horror-Scope Scoob (Last Episode) Trailers: DVD Player Load Trailer: Daphne & Velma (2018 Live Action Movie) Special Features Trailers: Scooby-Doo! and the Gourmet Ghost (2018), The Lego Movie 2: The Second Part (2019), Shazam! (2019) Characters: Scooby-Doo, Shaggy Rogers, Daphne Blake, Velma Dinkley, Fred Jones, Vincent VanGhoul, Flim Flam Conspicuously Absent Characters: Scrappy Doo, Weerd, Bogel Review: This movie is awesome. It’s great to get Vincent VanGhoul and Flim Flam back, even for just this movie. In the 1985 series, Fred and Velma were absent from Mystery Inc. So when this adventure starts, Daphne takes charge and Fred feels lost. This is an interesting character arch for the movie. Several of the characters have their own journeys to go through in this movie. There is also the fun of the mystery and adventure. This movie has the feel and tone of the recent string of Scooby Doo animated films. And as such, Weerd & Bogel, the comedic relief ghosts of the 13 Ghost series, as well as Scrappy Doo, don’t really fit, and were not added. But they did work in the Rubber Duckie.   #scoobydoo #scoobydooandthe13thghost #the13ghostsofscoobydoo #vincentvanghoul #shaggyrogers #fredjones #daphneblake #velmadinkley #flimflam #vincentvanghoul #scrappydoo #weerdandbogel #dvdreview #cartoons #cartooncharacters #hannabarbera #vincentprice #MauriceLaMarche #KateMicucci #FrankWelker #GreyGriffin #MatthewLillard #NoshirDalal (at Portland, Oregon) https://www.instagram.com/p/BthXcW2AVop/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=m2oru2hyf3jc

vincent vanghoul is literally the gothest goth to ever goth what the fuck i love him

[suspendersofdisbelief]

Will Heckle, Jeckle, Flim Flam, Sloppy Moe, Sluggo, Tubby Thompson, Star Wars, Lippy the Lion and/or Hardy Har Har, any of the “xXx: Return of Xander Cage” characters, Duckworth, Michel Souris, The Flaming Carrot or Super Duck: The Cock-Eyed Wonder appear in the new DuckTales? If not, why on earth!?

I'm going to ignore the rest of your question to point out that Flim Flam (and by extension, Vincent VanGhoul) are amazing and "The 13 Ghosts of Scooby Doo" would make an AMAZING reboot miniseries.
