Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

Blending excellent reporting and strong storytelling, this is a disturbing film truly stranger than fiction

Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.

A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.

The Ghoul School was the movie I grew up w/ so it holds meaning to me more then the others...my brother & I always liked the van Shaggy, Scooby & Scrappy were driving during the opening credits w/ the workout equipment in the back. I thought this film was funny w/ pretty good characters throughout & of course Matches who is a pet, little fire-breathing green dragon. It also had a good, slightly creepy feel to it that I also identify w/ in other 80's cartoons. The private boys school next door to the ghoul school was funny & seemed like a perfect scenario for our Scooby trio...good beginning & good ending. Loved it.

Parental Warning: This film contains scenes of Scrappy-Doo.It should be rated XXX just for that, shouldn't it? But, honestly, this was one of the "easing off of Scrappy" films, so, like in the Werewolf one, he isn't nearly as annoying as he is in his involvement with the rest of the franchise.Really the bad taste that comes in your mouth is the premise. Shaggy and Scooby go to an all girls school to become gym teachers.First, that sounds like a teenage sex comedy. Second,how on earth did Shaggey get a job as a PE teacher? What does that say about the school that hired him? Gym teachers like him are the reason that American Education has taken a nose dive and we have a problem with obesity in this country.Anyway, all jokes aside, it's still a girls school, but the girls are Ghouls and their parents come...hilarity ensues...despite the premise.It's actually not that bad and has better moments than the reluctant Werewolf, which is in the same era of Scooby Movies and really oddly made all things considered.Ghoul School feels better, it looks better, and it has better laughs...despite Scrappy's involvement.

I picked this up for $5 at Wal-mart, expecting another fun full-length Scooby feature in the vein of "Camp Scare" or "Witch's Ghost." Wrong.There are so many things that make this film painful to watch. First of all, it doesn't even make sense. Scooby, Shaggy and Scrappy are headed to teach P.E. (huh?) to an all-girls school (huh?) where the students are also the daughters of the world's scariest monsters (huh?) who are REAL monsters, not men in masks (huh?) as they're gearing up for a volleyball tournament with boys from a local military school (huh?) outside their creepy mansion.Secondly...there's no Mystery, Inc., no Mystery van and...NO MYSTERY. Shaggy and Scooby are great characters, but the movie feels empty and foreign without the rest of the gang.Thirdly...THE CHARACTERS!! Okay some people think Scrappy is bad, but he's actually a likable character compared to the rest. Revolta is simply fugly, and a weak villain at that. The monsters are ridiculous. And the girls...they might just be the most annoying cartoon characters I've seen in a long time. The phantom daughter is screechy and squealy, the werewolf's daughter sounds constipated and howls constantly, Frankenstein's daughter sounds like they were trying to make fun of mentally handicapped people and walks around calling her dad "dada" even though she looks at least a teenager. The only one that was semi-cute was the mummy's daughter, but her voice was still a bit irritating. Miss Grimwood was the only one with a pleasant voice, and I thought the little dragon/dog was pretty cute.Possibly the WORST thing about this movie was the dialogue. There's literally a really REALLY bad pun every 30 seconds. They start out as a bit eye-rolling, but it gets cringe-worthy and, about 30 minutes into it, downright torturous. There's one in about every other line, and some of them are recycled multiple times throughout the film. (Just count how many times Dracula's daughter says "Fang-tastic" for starters) Finally...there's no real plot. It's incredibly boring and at 1 hr. 33 minutes it lasts longer than some non-children's movies, which makes it even more drawn out and lame.Seriously, avoid this at all costs. It doesn't feel like a Scooby Doo movie...at best, it feels like a really bad spin off. Like if Luna and Neville from Harry Potter moved to America and started bakery in New York City. That's about how this film fits in with traditional Scooby repertoire. Don't waste your time and, especially, your money!!

Personally speaking I love Ghoul School, it's not as good as Reluctant Werewolf or Boo Brothers (my personal favourite) but I enjoy it a lot more than Scooby Doo goes Hollywood. I used to watch it all the time when I was a kid I only stopped watching it so I could prevent the video from completely wearing out.I'm not really a fan of the newer movies like witches ghost or zombie island, it's not that I think their bad I just prefer the cell animation that I watched when I was growing up.Any kid who loves Scooby Doo will probably enjoy watching this film, there are some cheesy puns in it but I don't think that will bother them.
