#Scooby-Doo and the Reluctant Werewolf

[brokehorrorfan]

Three classic Scooby-Doo movies are coming to Blu-ray on February 20 via Warner Archive: 1987's Scooby-Doo Meets the Boo Brothers, 1988's Scooby-Doo and the Ghoul School, and 1988's Scooby-Doo and the Reluctant Werewolf.

All three films star Don Messick as Scooby-Doo and Scrappy-Doo and Casey Kasem as Shaggy. The voice casts also include Sorrell Book, William Callaway, Victoria Carroll, B.J. Ward, Hamilton Camp, Jim Cummings, Susan Blu, and Remy Auberjonois.

The Reluctant Werewolf comes with the 1979 special Scooby Goes Hollywood in high definition as an extra. No other special features are included.

When Shaggy takes Scooby and Scrappy-Doo to the Southern plantation he's inherited from his Uncle Beauregard, they find a creepy manservant, a collection of ghostly tenants, and a fortune in family jewels hidden somewhere on the estate! Terrified, Scooby and Shaggy call in the services of the Boo Brothers - Freako, Streako and Meako - a team of barely scary ghosts. But as ghosts chase ghosts, they all chase Scooby, Scrappy and Shaggy from one end of the estate to the other, through trap doors and secret tunnels, onto runaway contraptions and into dangerous booby traps, with hairbreadth escapes at every turn!

Pre-order Scooby-Doo Meets the Boo Brothers.

When Scooby, Scrappy and Shaggy are hired as coaches at Miss Grimwood's Finishing School, they soon discover to their horror that they're not teaching at a girls' school… they're teaching at a ghouls' school-home to the daughters of rich and famous monsters, like Winnie the Werewolf, Elsa Frankenteen, Sibella Dracula and the Mummy's daughter. But the Scooby gang doesn't let a few monsters stop them from their task. They train the ghouls for a big sports tournament against the boys at a nearby military academy. And the ghouls win! But danger strikes at a Halloween celebration and it's Scooby and pals to the rescue!

Pre-order Scooby-Doo and the Ghoul School.

When Dracula's venerable old werewolf retires to Florida, the vampire decides Shaggy will make the perfect replacement. Dracula locks Scooby, Scrappy, Shaggy and Shaggy's girlfriend, Googie, in his scary castle, where they are forced to dine on everything from frog fudge to spider souffle. And Shaggy becomes shaggier than ever when Dracula turns him into a werewolf! To become his old self, Shaggy must win the Monster Rally car race. But obstacles lurk around every bend: dangerous cliffs, lava pits, even vampire bees! And it will take everything Scooby and the gang can do to help Shaggy win.

[movie review] scooby-doo and the reluctant werewolf (1988)

even a himbo who loves his dog & smokes his weed may become a wolf when the wacky race is monster-themed and the vampire’s plan is incredibly convoluted.

this is apparently scrappy’s last appearance in animated scooby-doo, and his role is so far scaled down compared to the previous outing that he was actually kinda almost tolerable? this is clearly the role he should’ve been slotted into all along, and it’s too little too late, but oh well.

i… didn’t expect this whole thing to be about racing? but it is? and that’s… something, i guess!

but like, the setting is so cool and dracula is such an over-the-top villain. this is “bad” in all the ways i want something like this to be “bad” in. and shaggy is an adorable werewolf omg, why did they have to change him back???

unlike the previous misfire, this is exactly the experience i wanted out of these. it feels the way i imagine eating all those halloween-themed cereals would be if i had any nostalgia for them.

My sisters and I watched the Reluctant Werewolf last night, as per tradition.

Everybody give it up for more cleaned up sketches!! This time it's characters that I have simply been thinking about recently that are not the main gang, yes I did get distracted while cleaning up my Shaphne sketches, yes this is the result now I must return to the caves to finish them.

Heck yeah she is! Credit to @velmautism for the bad Scooby doo theories and hcs generator, which you can find here

[scoobydoo-confessions]

I wish Shaggy had stayed a werewolf after Reluctant Werewolf I think it would have added a fun dynamic to the franchise and explained his already dog coded behavior & personality

So, Reluctant Werewolf was on last night.

And I notice Frankenstein is married to someone called Repulsa.

Which, naturally, reminded me of Revolta from Ghoul School. (in name and, slightly, appearance)

And I got an idea.

Head canon, naturally.

They aren’t the same person, but they are the same species.

So, Mr. Frankenteen and Frankenstein could be related.

And Repulsa and Revolta could be, distantly, related.

Supposing there was a messy divorce or somebody prevented a relationship existing…

That could, possibly, explain Revolta’s beef with the Universal-esque monsters.

Because she want’s power, but she deliberately goes about it by targeting the children of said monsters.

Just a little food for thought, and

a little observational humor.

As we got a sequel movie to Scooby Doo and the 13 ghost can we have a sequel to Reluctant Werewolf and Ghoul School?

Both would be great if they followed the same idea as the 13 Ghosts film.

So for Reluctant Werewolf Shaggy has to take part in another race for Dracula but make it more interesting if either Velma, Daphne or Fred also turns into a monster and bring back Googie!

Then for Ghoul School just have a reunion party so the girls can see their teachers again and the rest of gang like 'you lived here?!?!'

Scooby retrieves the magic book that can turn shaggy back into a human. Read: scooby retrieves medical information to give to Googie to help with shaggy’s new diagnosis (werewolf).

Vannapira and her New Baby Boy.

A piece with Vannapira and a baby Drak Jr. based on this Barbie doll I came across last week. The design I went with for her here is a mixture of her canon look and that more vampiric look I came up with for her a couple years back for those who remember when I drew her last.

Decided to include a second version of this piece with the outfit + colors from the original doll as well.

Top 5 Animated Scooby Doo Movies 

Scooby-Doo On Zombie Island

What happens when the monsters are real? The Scooby-verse is flipped on its head in this one, as we discover exactly that. And what an amazing soundtrack! Seriously, “It’s Terror Time Again” is an absolute banger! 

2. Scooby-Doo! and the Witch's Ghost

Three Words…The Hex Girls! This is the debut of the all female, goth rock group we all know and love! So for that alone, it’s a MUST for me. But I also really love the story of Sarah Ravencroft and the Autumn theme. It’s a delightfully witchy good time! And let’s be real, Ben Ravencroft is totally Stephen King inspired! 

3. Scooby-Doo and the Cyber Chase

Full disclosure, this one is probably only one of my most favorites because of nostalgia. It is the Scooby film that my family and I watched religiously. I recall when it was coming out, and how excited we were .Scooby was (is) kind of a big deal in my family. This one is a fun, cyber filled adventure where the gang has to progress through a computer game in order to defeat a phantom virus. It’s complete with cool Scooby Gang cyber versions, and an eventual face-to-face. 

4. Scooby-Doo and the Ghoul School / Scooby-Doo! and the Reluctant Werewolf

I put both of these together because I love them both for the same reason…their inclusion of the classic movie monsters! The Wolfman, Dracula, The Mummy, The Frankenstein’s Monster, etc. Or in the case of Ghoul School ,their daughters (with small appearances from them). I’m Dracula obsessed, and to see the character in the Scooby Doo franchise makes me so happy! Ghoul School has its moments. Any time it focuses on the ghouls, it’s fantastic. I just think it has a pretty wonky, all over the place plot. As for the Reluctant Werewolf, I love the Wacky Racers-esque story. And shaggy himself becomes a werewolf! How cool is that! 

5. Scooby-Doo and the Alien Invaders

Shaggy and Scooby get abducted by aliens! And they both fall in love with a hippy girl and her golden retriever (who turn out to be the aliens). It’s just really fun to see how this all plays out, and how those two handle it. As well as how Velma, the brains of the group, copes with the idea of alien life existing. 

(I moved one of these around as I was typing this, because I realized as I reread it that maybe I liked some others just a bit more. Either way, these are still my most favs from my childhood!)
