Which Scooby-Doo Movies to Watch

When considering a watch sequence for these films, there are essentially two approaches. If you prefer a chronological approach, start with “Scooby-Doo Meets the Boo Brothers” (1987), the very first full-length movie produced for the Scooby-Doo series, where you’ll find Shaggy, Scooby, and Scrappy investigating a haunted mansion inhabited by three ghostly brothers mimicking the Three Stooges. This would be followed by “Scooby-Doo and the Alien Invaders” (2000s), which marked the beginning of the franchise in the new millennium.

The animated movie titled “Scooby-Doo and the Alien Invaders” represents the third direct-to-video production within the series, following the commencement of a fresh era initiated by “Scooby-Doo on Zombie Island“. Now available for streaming with Max just in time for Halloween, this movie series has given the Scooby-Doo gang a modern makeover, portraying them as more realistic characters. These updated versions of the Mystery Machine crew confronted mysteries that were more down-to-earth compared to their previous encounters with ghosts and monsters. However, as the story unfolded in these films, they found that the threats they faced were far more genuine than any supernatural beings they had encountered before.

Why Watch Scooby-Doo for Halloween?

After that, you’d move on to “Scooby-Doo and the Loch Ness Monster” as the title indicates, a movie where Scooby and the gang encounter the legendary Loch Ness monster for the first time. This film was released in 2004, followed by “Scooby-Doo and the Legend of the Vampire” and “Scooby-Doo! Frankencreepy,” which debuted in 2013 and 2014 respectively. Given that it’s been a while since these films have come out, they seem perfectly timed for fans to revisit now.

Scooby-Doo is an ideal show to watch during the eerie Halloween season since the gang encounters various creepy creatures while solving mysteries. However, it never delves too deep into genuine terror, maintaining a family-friendly atmosphere. This longstanding franchise has been cherished by fans for years due to its ability to walk that line between spookiness and fun without crossing it excessively. In essence, Scooby-Doo offers an enjoyable mix of the chilling and amusing, which is exactly what one looks for during Halloween.
