It’s Scooby-Doo with an 18 certificate: Why the Scream franchise owes a major debt to the classic cartoon

I realize comparing these two might seem odd. Scooby-Doo and Scream are very different – one’s about a talking dog, the other features a masked killer who prefers landlines. However, they’re connected in a surprising way, going beyond the fact that Matthew Lillard played roles in both. The original Scooby-Doo series from 1969 is a perfect example of how to create fun, not-too-scary mysteries.
