Featured review
Happy Halloween Scooby Doo
Have always loved the creepy atmosphere Halloween has and Halloween and Scooby Doo have always been a perfect combination. Of all the holidays in fact, they are the combination that fits the best (yes even better than wintery locations/Christmas, though that combination has brought out some fine episodes), because their atmosphere not only gel well but are pretty much the same. On first watch, "A Scooby Doo Halloween" did frighten me a good deal and in a good way.
"A Scooby Doo Halloween" still is a great episode and what Scooby Doo is all about. Even better now perhaps even. It also still is a creepy episode, one of the episodes of 'What's New Scooby Doo' that most fits that distinction. Everything that stood out to me on first viewing, of which this was another one of the standout episodes, still stood out on this watch and made an even bigger impression. While very true to the spirit of this show, it also has a feel of harkening back to the old days which was a very good thing indeed.
Plenty to love here. "A Scooby Doo Halloween" is one of Season 2's best looking episodes along with "Mummy Scares Best." Absolutely love the suitably dark colour pallette that evokes the Halloween spirit wonderfully and the attention to detail with the Halloween visuals couldn't be better. The music is suitably haunting while also being true in spirit to the show. Didn't find it intrusive or overdone. The theme song is still catchy.
Loved the writing, with the endearingly goofy but never forced humour gelling beautifully with the more suspenseful parts. The mystery is a strong one and more compelling and atmospheric perhaps with the show's other Halloween themed episode. It is genuinely spooky, as anything Halloween oriented should be, felt like it was harkening back to the more traditional Scooby Doo (not always the case with the show.
Furthermore, the scarecrows have genuine menace to them, reminding me of the monsters from the earlier incarnations and the location is effectively creepy. The truth isn't too obvious either. KISS' contribution is very cool and didn't feel shoe-horned in or random. The voice acting is great, though Grey Griffin overdoes it a little as Daphne.
Who is a little annoying here and comes over as too much of an idiot and over jealous (she never jumped to conclusions this much before or since too), but that is my only issue with "A Scooby Doo Halloween."
Excellent and one of the season's and show's best and creepiest. 9/10.
