    It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

    The 13 Ghosts of Scooby-Doo, despite the amount of glowing reviews on this site, is not a very good series, and I think this is evidenced by the fact that it was cancelled before it even finished.Let's start off with the positive aspects of this show. I liked the idea of an overarching storyline. Plus we get Daphne and the character of Vincent Van Ghoul voiced by Vincent Price. Also some of the monsters were pretty creative. All in all, it's not as if the show was entirely unwatchable.Having said this, I can now get to what I don't like about this series. First and foremost, the absence of Fred and Velma. For me, a Scooby series should always have the Mystery Inc. gang consisting of Fred, Daphne, Velma, Shaggy and Scooby-Doo. Yes Daphne is here, and I am thankful it's not solely the unholy trinity of Shaggy/Scooby/Scrappy, but then we get to Flim Flam. And I must say, the scene in the Mystery Incorporated episode "The Siren's Song" perfectly encapsulates my attitude towards Scrappy and Flim Flam. These two are just as bad as each other. Way too annoying. Full stop. Like I said earlier, I appreciate the attempt to introduce an overarching story, but what is the point when it never gets a conclusion. Not to spoil anthing, but it's fair to say there are many questions left unanswered. Scooby-Doo! Mystery Incorporated handled this concept of an overarching story much, much better. In MI, the mystery had much more depth, with many shocking revelations and twists throughout. It was really engaging and left you wanting to see what happens next. Here, it's just plain silly. Dare I say lazy... I'm sorry, but for me it just did not work. Had it been concluded maybe it would have been a much stronger show. Overall, I would say the 13 Ghosts had potential to be a good series. The voice acting is great, and it was nice to see Daphne back again, plus the one and only Vincent Price. However, without Fred and Velma (and unfortunately with Scrappy and Flim Flam) the show just could not reach its full potential. It's entertaining to watch, but compared to the strong entries in the franchise to come afterwards such as What's New, Mystery Inc. and Be Cool, it just falls flat for me.

    I actually like this show, it was much better than expected and than I remembered. The animation considering when it was made was not that bad, and the theme tune and incidental music were great too. I don't think it is as good as Scooby Doo Where Are You? but it is not bad at all, and does have a great idea. Yes, the villains weren't quite as memorable as they could have been, Zomba and Maldor excepted, Film Flam is annoying and some of the writing wasn't as inventive as it had potential to have with Film Flam's goofy sayings not always working. Bogal and Weerd I can take and leave. Still the voice acting is fantastic, Casey Kasem and Don Messick never fail to bring a smile to my face as Shaggy and Scooby, and hold no equal as the lovable characters I have come to know and love. But my favourite character is Vincent VanGhoul, magnificently voiced by the wonderful Vincent Price and even looks like him. He had the best lines of the whole show especially the prologues at the start of each episode, and Price's delivery was flawless. And I loved the story lines of Maldor, Zomba(the best one), Vincent falling in love and the Shadow Demon. All in all, not the best our favourite canine has to offer as it did finish on a rather incomplete note, but not at all bad, better than the appalling Shaggy and Scooby Doo:Get a Clue at any rate. 7.5/10 Bethany Cox

    It was a good idea to keep the Scobby-Doo saga alive by changing the format in each show. But while the shows from the `70s were funny, entertaining, and had decent story lines. The `80s shows took a drastic turn by introducing Scappy-Doo! After two (or 3?) worthless shows Hanna-Barbera made another drastic turn by having the gang minus Fred and Velma plus Vincent and Flim Flam search for 13 ghosts. The premise was pretty decent but what hurt the show A LOT were Scrappy and Flim Flam. If this show would have just been Scobby, Shaggy, Daphne, and Vincent then it would have been a decent program.

    They can't!!! This is one of my favorite "Scooby-Doo" shows out of all of them. This show is quite a bit different from the past "Scooby" shows because in this show, Scooby, and the gang have to get 13 ghosts back into a chest that Scooby opened by accident, no guy in a costume here, these are actual ghosts (which is cool, and it was a great step for "Scooby-Doo"),and this show is more wackier than previous "Scooby-Doo" shows, which is cool. Anyways, this show also featured a new character in Flim-Flam who was OK, and Daphne, and Shaggy wore different clothes in this show as well. Vincent Price did a great job as Vincent VanGhoul, and those 2 ghosts who were always trying to stop Scooby ad the gang from getting the ghosts back into the chest were cool too. Bottom Line: A great "Scooby" show!!!
