Inspired by Hanna-Barbera's popular cartoon series, which premiered in 1969, Scooby-Doo stars in his second full-length film (made in 1988). Shaggy has accepted a job as a gym teacher at Miss Grimwood's Finishing School for Ghouls, a gothic girls' school that instructs the daughters of frightfully famous monsters such as Dracula, Werewolf, Mummy, and Frankenstein. Once Shaggy, Scooby, and Scrappy get over their spooky welcome, they settle into academic and athletic routines (like scarobic exercises) and enjoy an other-worldly relationship with the delightful Miss Grimwood and her gals. Shaggy prepares his students for a big volleyball tournament against the boys' military academy next door, a setup for all sorts of ghoulish gimmicks. And, of course, there's Back to School Night, where the girls' parents attend an enjoyable Who's Who event of monstrous proportions. Meanwhile, amid all the happy hauntings, Revolta, the Witch of the Web, is scheming to be "the most feared name in the monster world" and to make the girls' school "part of her evil team forever." In a final showdown, it takes a joint effort of the boys and girls to defeat the evil Revolta and her spider-bat flunkies. This predictable modern-day cartoon is a disappointing departure from Scooby's classic 1970s episodes, those campy detective romps full of lunacy and quirky humor and sprinkled with slapstick suspense. Scooby-Doo fans will also miss his wacky cohorts Freddy, Daphne, and Velma, as well as their invincible Mystery Machine. At least the original voices remain the same, namely Don Messick as Scooby and Casey Kasem as Shaggy. (Ages 5 to 10) --Lynn Gibson

Product Description

Scooby, Scrappy and Shaggy find the students at Miss Grimwood's school aren't girls-- they're ghouls, and their jobs as coaches take on new meaning.

5.0 out of 5 stars the Best Scooby Doo movie, October 25, 2008

By	K. Rousseau "Kai" - See all my reviews

This review is from: Scooby-Doo and the Ghoul School (DVD)

I first saw this movie when I was 5 and luckily taped it so that I have been able to watch it since. I disagree with many of the other reviewers who think that this movie is the worst Scooby Doo movie ever. While I agree in that I hate Scrappy Doo, I don't think that his involvement in the film ruins it. Though this movie is a departure from previous Scooby Doo story lines in that there isn't a true mystery to solve, there is still a definite plot that involves more than just the upcoming volleyball game between the two schools. Also, the new characters in this film are rather endearing and the film has many funny moments. Now, almost 15 years after first seeing this movie, it is still one of my favorite animated movies of all time. If you don't mind a Scooby Doo movie that doesn't revolve around solving a mystery but instead deals with defeating a monster, then you would most likely enjoy this film.

5.0 out of 5 stars Scooby Dooby Doo!, April 14, 2003

By	Hearse Queen "grimrides" (northern california, usa) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Scooby Doo & Ghoul School [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Scooby-Doo, Shaggy and Scrappy-Doo find themselves mixed up in a mess of monsters when they accept jobs as gym teachers at a girls finishing school.

When Scoobyand the gang arrive at Miss Grimwood's Finishing School For Girls they meet the students, they're all daughters of famous monsters.

The evil Revolta watns to kidnap the girls and use them as an evil army to help her rule the world. She sends out her hordes of spider bats and her henchman, the Grim Creeper to brainwash the girls and bring them back to her castle.

Shaggy, Scooby and Scrappy must rescue the girls and return them safely to Miss Grimwood!

1.0 out of 5 stars I'm sick of this movie, October 10, 2003

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Scooby-Doo and the Ghoul School [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This movie might seem funny and amusing the first time you watch it. I am not a very big scooby doo fan, and I have to put up with my parents making me watch this movie with my sister in order to stop her tantrums about five times a week.
The plot is extremely boring--you might expect more twists and originality in the plot in most scooby doo movies, and the characters were so.... I can't find a word to describe it.
What I mean to say is, if you have younger siblings who are mad about scooby doo and 'trying' films that have originality whatsoever, this is not the video to get.
