Great Halloween pic for the kids or people of all ages! Even my grandma watched it! The episodes are a wide range goup of scooby episodes, and they include an appearance by Scooby-dum!

Zoinks!

This Dvd features 4 classic Scooby Doo Where Are You episodes + 1 bonus halloween day classic episode.

3 of the episodes are the 1969 season for me the best and the two other are from 1976 season where the show is called the Scooby Doo Show and features a new character Scooby Dum brother of Scooby Doo.

It contains the mexican spanish dubbing as they broadcast in Spain.

A classic for any Scub fan.

Scooby Doooooo!!!!

I've seen the other reviews. I did not purchase this video for me, I purchased it for my 3 year old little boy! And Scooby-Dum or not, he loves it! Episode after Episode - any video that has 3 or 4 movie flicks is GREAT for me AND my little guy! These movies are part of the original Scooby-Doo's - not too scary and not too mature for little ones. I've seen the new Scooby-Doo movies and they're NOT Appropriate for children under 5! If you've got a little one- this video is GREAT!

As with "Scooby Doo's Original Mysteries" this DVD will feature more episodes of the classic first season (1969) of "Scooby Doo Where Are You?" The first season of the show was by far the best and these episodes are great. My favorite of this group is "That's Snow Ghost" but the others are great too. I'm glad to see these episodes being released on DVD and hope they continue to release more of these DVDs. These episodes were made before they started adding characters like Scooby Dumb and Scrappy Doo, which I personally feel led to the demise of the show. I'm glad to see that Scooby Doo has made a comeback over the last few years.

There are many Scooby-Doo dvds you can buy but overall this one had the best mix of episodes if you were not going to buy the more expensive seasons that are out now. These is a great dvd for Halloween as it has some of the "spookiest tales" done for Scooby-Doo. "Vampires,Bats, And Scaredy Cats" is really good and features great Shaggy One Liners like when he see's the vampire and says "Look, it's gramps the vamp" and "I already gave at the bloodbank." You also have "Witch Witch Is Which" with it's Zombie and Witch characters with an old boat and swamp for a more scary effect.
"A Gaggle Of Galloping Ghosts" is on here as well as "That's Snow Ghost." These are good but I would probably have put another on here besides "That's Snow Ghost" as it fit's better on the dvd "Winter Wonderdog." But the main reason to get this dvd is for the episode "Headless Horseman Of Halloween." This has everything from a costume Hallowen party,Graveyard,a butler and of course, many one-liners from Shaggy.
Overall this is the best value for a great mix of episodes. The "Headless Horseman Of Halloween" is only on the dvd and not the VHS version be sure to get the dvd for this bonus.

Episodes include:That's snow ghost,Vampires,bats and scaredy cats ,A gaggle of galloping ghosts,Which witch is which?, and a bonus special feature episode,The headless horseman of halloween.The episodes are great and some of Scooby's funniest. The running time is approximately 110 mins. , including the time of the bonus episode.Has some very interesting special features too.Not rated/2001.

Don't get me wrong, I LOVE Scooby-Doo! However, in my humble opinion, the original "Scooby-Doo Where Are You?" series is, far and away, the best that Scooby has to offer. So, why on earth did Cartoon Network/Warner Bros. choose to include 2 later episodes featuring Scooby-Dumb? (well, at least it's not Scrappy...) I had high hopes for Scooby on dvd with the appearance of "Greatest Mysteries". Now I'm not sure that I trust Warner Bros. to do Scooby justice in his dvd releases... This dvd is not bad, but a true fan of Scooby-Doo will most likely find themselves skipping over the later episodes, and wishing they had gotten their money's worth.

As other reviewers point out, the case does not say anything about Scooby-Dum being in 2 of these episodes, but he is and that ruins them. They could have been great episodes without him but with him, they are only mediocre. Smart decision by the manufacturers and producers not to mention this fact as I would not have purchased this DVD if I had known. Hopefully they won't do this in the future with Scrappy. As a HUGH S-D fan, I feel Scooby-Dum and Scrappy were the demise of the show. What were the producers thinking? Which Witch is Which? and That's Snow Ghost are excellent episodes and are among my favorites. If you are as big a fan as I am, then these episodes alone are worth the price and should be in your DVD collection. The episodes on this DVD are not the "spookiest" as the title would have you believe. (Neither are they the funniest or best but they will get you through until the next compilation comes out.) Now, can they release the episodes with guest stars???...Batman & Robin, Jonathan Winters, Phyllis Diller, Mama Cass, Davy Jones, Don Notts, the Globetrotters, et. el.

I will probably always see "Scooby Doo On Zombie Island" as the ultimate Scooby flick. But this video tape is absolutely essential for anyone who is a fan of Scooby Doo. (FIRST EPISODE) This witch and zombie tale nails down the formula for most of Scooby's episodes. There is a normal start, but yet a creepy setting as well. We meet one of the 'supernatural characters.' Then we are exposed to the possible (or to be more accurate) the official story that supposedly explains the presence of the supernatural. (Granted, we know it probably isn't.) But there are some scenes that allow us for at least a moment or two to accept the possibility of the supernatural. (When the witch travels down the raft with the zombie, the witch's house, etc.) The disappearance of Daphne creates some suspense. Then some clues begin to appear that the supposed supernatural is really linked to some very human criminal activity. (SECOND EPISODE) The scenery allows for a normal start, but still provides a creepy setting. The 1st sighting of the ghost is comical, and Velmah carries the whole gang. (Not unlike her moment in 'Hassle In the Castle.') Shaggy has a memorable one liner here and there: 'This ski trip has turned into a real scare trip.' Scooby's sudden separation from Shaggy and Velmah creates some suspense. Scooby has a very heroic moment. The recluse is an interesting guest star, and the flashback is well done. (THIRD EPISODE) The story starts normal enough with an adventure trip. Daphne's disappearance creates some suspense. We also have the luxury of being haunted by several monsters in this episode. Scooby and Shaggy come off a little braver than usual, and we get to see their reaction to a bad menu. Scooby and Shaggy also get lost, and we get to see them pass the time. There is even some irony when Scooby and Shaggy unknowingly give the bad guy what he is looking for. Alright. The bad guy's slip seems a little fake, but that's alright seeing what a great episode this is. (FINAL EPISODE) We have the guest star of Scooby Dum which adds some charm. We are given time to wonder what the bad guy's motives are. As in good horror, we are made nervous around characters who aren't really a threat and relaxed around those who we probably should worry about. Without giving away the ending, they nail down a true aspect of horror. (Horror comes not from a bad guy being unmasked, but from realizing that we were betrayed by someone we really thought we could trust.) These 4 episodes show some of Scooby's strongest moments. DO NOT let this video tape get away!

I freaked when the first five episodes were released on dvd, then here is another dvd with the classics on it. Man, I cant wait to get this one. I have all these on video, but dvd is a far more superior format. I just hope they release more of these classic shows on dvd in the near future. You cant go wrong with classic Scooby Doo....
