#The 13 Ghost of Scooby-Doo

Scooby-Doo Halloween Monster/Ghost/Ghoul Countdown #13

We’ve come to the end of my Halloween countdown of my thirteen favorite Scooby-Doo Monster/Ghost/Ghouls. Taking the thirteen spot is not one, not two but the thirteen foulest specters and ghouls on Earth. That’s right. The Thirteen Ghost of the Chest of Demon.

The Thirteen Ghosts appeared in “The Thirteen Ghost of Scooby-Doo!”

According to legend, the Thirteen Ghost were the most terrifying ghosts whoever existed on the face of the Earth. They were eventually captured and sealed away in the Chest of Demons until the ghosts Bogel and Weerd were able to trick Scooby and Shaggy into opening the chest, unleashing the ghost. Scooby and Shaggy were informed by sorcerer Vincent Van Ghoul that as they had been the ones to release the demons, only they could return the demons to the Chest of Demons. Along with Dalphe, Scrappy and new friend Flimflam, Scooby and the team set out to capture the Thirteen Ghost aided by Vincent and his magic.

The Thirteen Ghost varied in appearance. Some like Queen Morbidia, Nekara and Professor Phantazmo looked human. Zomba, Demondo, Rankor and Zimbulu and Asmodeus looked like demons. Captain Ferguson and the Refelctor Spector were ghosts. Maldor, Marcella and Time Slime looked ghoulish.

Each were capable of using and casting dark magic and some like Captain Ferguson, Phantazmo and Nekara were able to conceal their true form from humans. All thirteen were able to speak and despite being locked away for hundreds of years had no issue interacting within the modern world after their release.

All of the Thirteen Ghost were dangerous and were not willing to let Scooby and the gang stand in their way. Each employed their dark powers and other monsters and ghouls to try to stop Scooby and crew and retrieve the Chest of Demons. Zombra employed several monsters in her takeover of the local TV station. Phantazmo had a circus of ghouls under his control. Captain Ferguson had a whole cruise boat of ghosts and ghouls. Marcella employed the Bromski Sisters, three witch sisters to do her biding. Throughout the series Bogel and Weerd aide several of the ghosts in their schemes. The actions of the Thirteen Ghosts were so bad that it did real harm to Scooby’s psyche to the point where he even left the team for a time.

“The Thirteen Ghost of Scooby-Doo!” while a nice break from the traditional Scooby-Doo formula of bad guys in masks, it wasn’t able to escape the traditional of stories filles with plot holes. The biggest one is that the series only ran for thirteen episodes but only twelve of the Thirteen Ghosts were shown. The series was canceled in order to make room for the new series ‘’A Pup Named Scooby-Doo’’ so we never got to see the final ghost. This lose thread wouldn’t be addresses until the movie, “The Thirteenth Ghost of Scooby-Doo’’ which sadly did more harm than good to the legacy of “The Thirteen Ghost of Scooby-Doo!” It was also never clearly stated which ghost in "Ship of Ghouls" was meant to one of the Thirteen Ghost. I go along with Captain Ferguson being the Chest of Demons ghost and not the Cyclone Demon.

Another plot hole is that while they’re called the Thirteen Ghost, the majority of them don’t look like ghosts. They’re described as being both ghosts and demos by different characters throughout the series. We also never learn how Bogel and Weerd came to be associated with the Chest of Demons and the ghosts. No true origins are given to the Thirteen Ghost, and we never learn how they had originally been captured or what truly made them the thirteen foulest specters and ghouls on Earth the thirteen foulest specters and ghouls on Earth. I think it would have been better had the series lasted longer so we could have seen the ghosts interact with Scooby and the gang more before they were captured. They could have had their backstories explained and that would have helped flesh them out a little bit more.

Still, the Thirteen Ghost are among the best and delightfully wicked ghosts, ghouls and monsters in the classic Scooby-Doo franchise.

Day 11 🔮 Vincent Van Ghoul - The 13 Ghosts of Scooby-Doo! 👻

[scoobypineapple]

Okay so I’ve seen so much Scooby Doo fnaf art (all of it is AMAZING) but when it comes to the timeline or what not, the chances are this is the gang who’d be investigating Freddy Fazbear’s pizzeria.

[pigeon3gg]

I'm continuing to add to my "Groovy Scooby AU." Of course I have the main character himself: Scooby! Although I also decided to add Scrappy and Flim Flam! Two, often forgotten, members of the Gang.

See the other four members here

For fun facts about my AU...

Scooby

Service Dog trained for alerting to changes in blood sugar levels, and is a 5 star culinary chef. (he was an overachiever and took extra classes.) He loves to cook for the Gang.

He drools constantly but no one mentions it so they don't embarrass him. You have to pretend you didn't see some dribble into the food!

Ears were cropped before Shaggy got him. Shaggy finds the practice cruel and is more sad about the situation than Scooby is.

Eyes are in a closed/droopy expression unless he is afraid or alert.

Selective ability to speak but is not never acknowledged directly.

Sometimes uses his big bark in hopes of protecting others. However, is actually a huge chicken and would never even hurt a fly.

Flim Flam

Adopted by Daphne and Shaggy after a mystery in the Himalayan Mountains. Where he tagged along and they later found out he was an orphan.

"Flim Flam" is only a nickname, with his real name being Fanindranath.

Has major issues when it comes to lying and pick-pocketing. The Gang is aware this most likely stems from trauma related to survival. Their gentle-parenting approach to the situation is yielding mixed results.

Incredibly creative and loves to tell stories and play pretend. Him and Velma bond by making short picture books together.

24/7 dog babysitter. A position given to him by himself. Insists on being the one to walk and feed them.

Has attachment issues that manifest in a multitude of ways. Wandering off or showing a lack of empathy being most common.

Scrappy

Was found as a mangy stray during a mystery in Mexico. The Gang intended to nurse him back to health and find him a proper home, but ended up falling in love with him.

Started out as Velma's dog but became more attached to Flim Flam once he joined the group. Velma's name is still on all the vet documents and microchip.

A very naughty puppy who is prone to tearing things up or running head-first into trouble. The Gang sometimes wonders if he was born without fear.

Unlike Scooby, Scrappy can't speak. Although Scooby is able to understand him and sometimes translates.

Scrappy is a mixed breed dog with no clear indication on what he is. He's officially labeled as a "terrier mix" but the Gang just calls him a "scruffa."

Running gag related to him constantly trying to run after things but getting wiped around a full 180 due to his front-hook harness.
