The 13 Ghosts of Scooby-Doo! was a 1985 ABC TV series based on the original Hanna-Barbera Saturday-morning cartoon Scooby-Doo. In this series, Scooby, Shaggy, Daphne, and Scooby's nephew Scrappy are headed for a vacation in Hawaii when a miscalculation lands them in the mountains of Tibet, where they meet preadolescent con artist Flim Flam and warlock Vincent Van Ghoul (a parody of Vincent Price who's voiced by Vincent Price). Scooby and Shaggy have the misfortune of opening a chest of demons that releases 13 dangerous ghosts that only they can recapture. Thus begins a quest that takes the newly formed gang around the world under the direction of Vincent Van Ghoul and his crystal ball. Never far behind are two bumbling ghosts, Weerd and Bogel, whose mission is to foil the gang's every move. From Maldor the Malevolent and his forest-come-to-life to the trance-of-love-wielding gaze of Nicara, the time-speeding Time Slime, and the calliope-playing Professor Fantasmo, each of the ghosts and demons poses their own special challenge for Scooby and his friends, but somehow the gang always manages to work together and contain their target. The characters have a bit of a 1980s look and it does seem a bit strange to be missing Fred and Velma, but Flim Flam adds a different dimension with his crazy schemes that seem destined to backfire, and Vincent Van Ghoul brings a whole new sense of spookiness. Naturally, humor abounds and Shaggy and Scooby can be counted on for their fraidy-cat nerves and their penchant for Scooby snacks. Of special note is the "That's Monstertainment" episode, which parallels the classic movie Frankenstein with Scooby and Shaggy in the leading roles. Bonus features include the "Don't Feed the Animals" episode from the Shaggy and Scooby-Doo Get a Clue series and a preview for the Scooby-Doo First Frights video game.

Product Description

In The 13 Ghosts of Scooby-Doo, mystery and mayhem prevail when Scooby-Doo and Shaggy accidentally set free a pack of troublemaking spooks. On a trip to Honolulu, Daphne's plane winds up landing in Tibet. While visiting a temple, Scooby and Shaggy are tricked into opening the Chest of Demons, which houses 13 of the most-frightening ghosts and ghouls to ever haunt the earth. The ghosts however, can only be returned to the chest by those who originally released them. To prevent them from wreaking havoc upon the world, the gang embarks on a global quest to recapture them. Scooby-Doo's nephew, Scrappy-Doo, a mischievous boy named Flim-Flam, and warlock Vincent Van Ghoul join the team throughout the season, as they set out to trap the escaped specters.

4.0 out of 5 stars How has it held up over the years?, June 29, 2010

This review is from: The 13 Ghosts of Scooby Doo: The Complete Series (DVD)

When I was a kid, I loved to watch Scooby Doo in syndication. There was nothing better than sitting down with a bowl of cocoa puffs and waiting for that crazy dog to grace my tv screen. My favorite series? The 13 Ghost of Scooby Doo of course! It was something rare to see Cartoon Network play this particular series much though, considering there were atleast 5 other incarnations of Scooby to choose from, but when they would show it, I was ecstatic!

How has it held up over the years? Wonderfully! I just finished watching my set earlier this morning, and nostalgia has set in, and I am in awe. Let's do an episode run down.

1x01 - To All the Ghouls I've Loved Before - Scooby and his pals crash in the a creepy town where 2 ghost await their arrival.

1x02 - Scoobra Kaboobra - In this episode, the gang must face an evil warlock who is bent on discovering a magical wand to give him infinite magic.

1x03 - Me and My Shadow Demon - This particular episode is one of my favorites. Queen Morbidia is throwing a party, and of course she wants the chest, so why not trap the gang in an infinite maze?

1x04 - Reflections in a Ghoulish Eye - The gang must travel to an Arabian villiage to expel a demon from a haunted mirror.

1x05 - That's Monstertainment - Zomba the red fleshed demon decides that she'll trap the gang in an old black and white movie to obtain the chest.

1x06 - Ship of Ghouls - Poor Scooby is so scared now, that the gang decided to take him on a cruise. Unbeknownst to them, the cruise is ran by ghosts, and they're heading to the Bermuda triangle!

1x07 - A Spooky Little Ghoul Like You - Vincent Van Ghoul has won the most coveted Warlock award known, but a certain Demonstress wants his magic, so she puts him in a love trance. Cant the gang save him in time?

1x08 - When You Witch Upon a Star - Marcella, a demon wind wants to be flesh again, so she recruits 3 idiot witches to help her, the gang can outsmart the 3, but can they outsmart Marcella?

1x09 - It's A Wonderful Scoob - How will the team fare against a ghost who can control time? What would life be like if Scooby quit the team? Watch and see!

1x10 - Scooby in KwackyLand - Yet another demon is after the chest, but how will the gang save it if they're trapped in a comic strip?

1x11 - Coast to Ghost - Ol' Vince is turning to stone, how can the gang save him? By teaming up with Bogel and Weird to get half way across the US to obtain a special mask!

1x12 - The Ghouliest Show on Earth - Scooby and the gang need a break, so they head back to Scooby's home town, little do they know, an evil circus has risen!

1x13 - Horror-scope Scoob - The finale! How can the gang stop the most powerful demon from stealing the chest? They may not!

Characters

Scooby - Our hungry hero who unexpectedly opens the chest releasing the spirits.
Shaggy - Scooby's owner, who is almost as dimwitted as Scooby!
Scrappy - Scooby's nephew, the mean bulldog stuck inside a pup's body! He's itchin to start a fight!
Daphne - The only sane person of the core 4, and the only female to boot.
FlimFlam - The fast talking, pint sized con artist.
Vincent Van Ghoul - Voiced by Vincent Price, he's the warlock that helps the team (Ala Charlie from Charlie's Angels)
Bogel and Weird - 2 idiot ghosts that try to foil the plans of the team.

DVD Set

The set is a nice one, the episodes, although grainy are in great shape. They have included subtitles and other languages also. The biggest problem that I have with the set? Every episode had a small segment before the opening credits that usually showed the featured ghost. Well, with the set, some of the episodes play the credits before the short opening, while other's keep the original order. These episodes are also uncut. The only features included are a video game preview, and an episode of one of the new incarnations of Scooby doo.

All in all, its a great set, so dont pass up on it.

3.0 out of 5 stars Very interesting, yet very Incomplete, August 23, 2010

By 

Poetic T "PoeticT" (El Monte, CA USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The 13 Ghosts of Scooby Doo: The Complete Series (DVD)

I was happy to get this as part of my collection. I found it interesting, yet incomplete.


Pros:
+Trying to capture the thirteen ghost of a Demon Chest was a very fascinating storyline.
+Scrappy didn't seem to try to steal the spotlight from his uncle. In fact, I didn't find him annoying at ALL.
+Scooby's parents.
+Vincent was an excellent addition to the season. I loved his episode narrations.
+Same classic humor from the original series. I did enjoy them dressing up for certain situations.
+Scooby snacks seemed to have a different effect on Scooby then usual.



Cons:
-I felt that the season was incomplete. They didn't capture all thirteen ghosts. It appeared to be only eleven of them. I felt as if the season should have ran fifteen or sixteen episodes.
-Flim Flam did gain my appeal with his sales pitches, however, trying to overpower the season really made me dislike him. He had too many plot contrivances.
-I hated the makeover of the Mystery Machine.
-Most of the episodes were weak with villians that weren't even a challenge to defeat. Funny because the gang spent most of their time running.
-They made Daphne virtually invisible. She didn't add much to the season at all.
-Weerd and Bogul were able to do some things, yet not be able to do other things. Didn't make any sense.
-I really missed Fred and Velma. They were really the smarter half of the gang.


Episodes:
1) I found Lotsa Luck Joy Juice being too convenient. Uck! I found it farfetched that Shaggy was their pilot. Discarding those two plotlines, I found this to be an intriguing episode that set the premise for the entire season. 4.5/5
2) Maldor in my opinion was the most challenging ghost that they had to capture. To me, it was an exciting episode which still had me anticipating what was next. Scooby being close to a Danish prince was cool. The scenes when they were trying to wake up Daphne was touching. Best episode of the season. 5/5
3) It was a cool twist that the shadow wasn't one of the ghosts that they had to capture. 4/5
4) By this point, being four times in a row, I got tired of Flim Flam catching the ghosts. Not only that, but the season was starting to focus too much on him. The trophy and song scene really was too much. 2.5/5
5) The villian was laughable in this somewhat fun episode. 3/5
6) Technically, from my understanding, the ghost that they captured was a combination of the ghosts that were already in their possesion. Flim Flam was beginning to be more and more of a show stealer. 3/5
7) One of my least favorite episodes so far. It's not explained how someone that Vincent knew from the past was one of the thirteen ghosts. 1/5
8) Yet another situation where they could not have won without Vincent's help. He was the leader of this task force. 2.5/5
9) Slime Time was a really good villian in a really weak episode. The thought of them replacing Scooby was insulting. How could the future that Vincent had shown Scooby exist if they were supposed to be killed by the guy in the armor? 1/5
10) Finally, another episode that I really liked, but why couldn't Daphne or Shaggy be the one holding the chest when Scooby threw the comic section into it? 4/5
11) It would have been more appropriate for Shaggy to be holding the chest in this episode instead of Scrappy and Flim Flam for the second time in a row. Ghost proof Handcuffs. Yeah, right! 2.5/5
12) Another episodefocused on Flim Flam. Ugh! However, I did enjoy this one. 4.5/5
13) Finally, Daphne was actually portrayed as one of the smarter characters, however, it was too little too late. Very weak episode for a season finale. It left me with a very unsatisfying feeling. 2.5/5


Overall ratings: 3/5


I couldn't imagine not having this as part of my collection, but it was an unfinished season. I hope that this review was helpful.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Release of A Pretty Good Show!, April 5, 2010

Amazon Verified Purchase

This review is from: The 13 Ghosts of Scooby Doo: The Complete Series (DVD)

Even though the 13 Ghosts of Scooby Doo maybe have not been my favorite Scooby Doo show it definetly deserved a DVD release and I'm glad to see to make it to DVD. Although this show doesn't have Velma or Fred they also got new characters along with the well known Scooby Doo, Shaggy, Scrappy, and Daphne. The new characters consists of Flim Flam and Vincent Van Ghoul who helped the gang with what the main plot consisted of.
The main plot was that they were trying to put the 13 ghosts that they had released from the Chest of Demons by accident. While trying to do this two not so intelligent ghosts Weerd and Bogel get in the way and always tried to stop the gang but never really succeeded.

There were thirteen episodes produced and are listed below.

1. To All the Ghouls I've Loved Before
2. Scoobra Kadoobra
3. Me and My Shadow Demon
4. Reflections in a Ghoulish Eye
5. That's Monstertainment
6. Ship of Ghouls
7. A Spooky Little Ghoul Like You
8. When You Witch Upon A Star
9. It's A Wonderful Scoob
10. Scooby in Kwackyland
11. Coast to Ghost
12. The Ghouliest Show on Earth
13. Horror-Scope Scoob

So I'm very excited to see what else will be coming out on DVD soon. From the looks of it Saturday Morning Cartoons: 1980s, Vol. 1will be put on DVD and Super Friends!: Season One, Vol. Two will also be coming on DVD soon.



UPDATE:

I just recieved my copy of the DVD on July 16th 2010 and I was so excited. As soon as I had a chance I popped the disc out and watched the first episode. I really enjoyed it and really liked how Hanna Barbera made a sort of introduction episode to show how it all begins unlike some other shows.

The DVD itselve, I think looks good. Although it's a small thing and doesn't have any special features that actually talk about the show it still really good. I think as long as all the episodes are here then you should be happy. I really think Warner should do more DVD s like this for the shows that the don't want to spend lots of money on for a DVD release because of their worries that they won't sell good and even if they weren't the most popular shows it would still be good for the people who really enjoy then today. So yes I like the DVD and I'm happy to get to own these episodes for myself. So trust me if your having your doubts about the DVD in my opinion you should buy it.

Ok I hope my review is helpful. Oh and I'm excited to see that Johnny Bravo: Season One is now available. Also I'm excited to see Dexter's Laboratory: Season One to come out soon and also Scooby's All Star Laff-A-Lympics 2 (Full) coming out soon too.
