OllieSuave-007 In this more contemporary Scooby Doo movie, the Mystery Inc. gang visits the the small town of Oakhaven. There, they discover the history of a witch named Sarah Ravencroft and witnesses the appearance of the Hex girls, which brings about mysterious sightings throughout the town.The animation in this movie was very colorful and the plot was somewhat suspenseful, making the story elements, especially that of the witches, actually chilling and more thrilling than the story lines of the original Scooby-Doo series. It was great seeing Fred, Daphne, Velma, Shaggy and Scooby all banding together again to solve the mystery; you can tell that the humor, jokes and dialog have a more hip and modern touch to it - to keep in line with the late 1990s and early 2000s fad. While a pretty fun and entertaining movie, it doesn't have that unique flavor of the classic Scooby-Doo series. It was interesting and noteworthy, though, to see this movie contain real supernatural forces. It's worthy to see - younger kids would enjoy this. Grade B-

topimdb The main problem with this Scooby outing is that the more recent seasons and films don't compare with the older Scooby Doo episodes of the golden years.Do you remember the glory years? The mysteries had the perfect balance of comedy and comic spookiness. The haunted castles, mansions, and murder mysteries with great setup, better vocal work, and delightful plots and jokes. Unfortunately, the series and films will never equal the glory years, but at least we will eventually be able to own them all on DVD and I'm sure they will continue to play forever on cable. Hell, they could make a Scooby Doo channel with the number of episodes out there.

DarthBill In this follow up to "Zombie Island", Velma finally gets a shot at romance when she and the gang meet Ben Ravencroft, a horror author with a shady family history - was his great, great, great grandma a witch of a wiccan? Well, someone's terrorizing his home town - is it a genuine witch or are the towns people trying to pull a scam? Do those creepy Vampire Singer girls have anything to do with it? The usual gags and calamity ensue.In addition to Velma's love story, another innocent observation is made about Fred & Daphne - namely that Fred is always pairing himself with Daphne when the gang splits up. Shaggy finally shows interest in women, which later becomes a big factor in "Alien Invaders". Shaggy also appears to be shorter here than he used to be; he was always the tallest of the bunch but now appears to be hunched over. Must be the new animation.But this is really about Velma and her long ignored need for love and affection (hinted at when she got all giggly around the rugged detective gardener at the end of "Zombie Island"). Never before has Velma ever had this kind of treatment in an animated Scooby feature, and odds are she won't get it again. And backing her up is the usual gang and good animation. Probably not for little kids though.

windows-2 I watched this movie when it came on Cartoon Network, a cable channel on October 31, 1999. I rated this movie a 10, the animation is much more realistic than the animation with Scooby Doo On Zombie Island which also was broadcasted on Cartoon Network last year on October 31. The soundtrack is really great, the music is much better too. I got bored of hearing the Zombie Island soundtrack which I recorded the whole movie on VHS cassette and a audio cassette so I put it somewhere. The two songs which I like is "The Hex Girls" and "Earth, Wind, Fire, and Air". The acting of the cast members is superb and is MUCH better than Zombie Island. Zombie Island was a great movie untill this year Hanna-Barbera released another Scooby Doo Movie. I hope next year (2000) there will be another Scooby Doo movie. I read somewhere that Hanna-Barbera is rumored to make a live action movie of Scooby Doo, possibly a live action version of Scooby Doo and the Witch's Ghost with all the cast members that they had in the animated version. I dunno about that but I like Scooby Doo and the Witch's Ghost, I think Hanna-Barbera is a great company.
