Die 13 Geister von Scooby-Doo

this show is really good but a lot of people have forgotten about it. they don't even show it on TV anymore except on boomerang, and thats only of you have that digital cable thing thats expensive. they should definitely make it into a DVD collection if they don't want people to forget it. i mean this is a really good show that shouldn't be forgotten and should be made into a did set so it can be added to scooby-doo show fans like me. i haven't even seen every episode. i know the TV company got rid of it because it got too 'boring' which i don't think so. i mean if you watch it over and over again maybe but this is one of the best shows who cares if its old Hanna Barbara can't just put the old shows on the shelfs if it gets old. they need to warn people that they aren't airing on TV and make it into dvds or VHS so people can still watch this show.

Honestly, the 13 Ghosts is one of the better Scooby Doo shows, and is a high 7. I really love the establishment of an overarching story arc, which allows characters to actually develop and for a grander sense of uncertainty and large scale to unfold. It also set the precedent for Mystery Incorporated to do it, which is just an unbelievably great show. I quite liked the script, with lots of clever wordplay and amusing, absurd segments (especially the episode 2 dragon interview comes to mind, but also things like Bogel and Weerd's miscommunications or Flim-Flam's ability to put on any costume and get demons to go along with it). It was also very different in its clear self-awareness and frequent pop culture references, which I think were an interesting twist and worked given the more modern and comedic vibe of the show. Some of the premises were really good, and in particular: It's a Wonderful Scoob with Time Slime and Scooby retiring and seeing the world fall apart; the circus episode 12 with the music brainwashing people; the finale with a genuine mystery of who stole the demon chest and what people's motives were, coupled by the only actual twist in the show; and to some extent the Nicara episode with her seducing warlocks and draining their power, and the ship episode with Scooby being afraid of monsters, were great and satisfying episodes. Unfortunately, too many of the episodes were never really thought-provoking or exciting because the end result is never really in doubt and there's no mystery to solve, which is the traditional crux of each episode. The monster premises, characters and humor could carry some episodes, but didn't sustainably make the show exciting. Not having Fred and Velma did hurt, as Flim-Flam was occasionally funny due to absurdity and some societal commentary, and Van Ghoul was actually an enjoyable character to have, but Scrappy didn't add anything. I do think this show maybe did the most with Scooby himself of those I've seen, as we really see him wrestle with the trauma of catching monsters and being scared all the time. I hope the Curse of the 13th Ghost movie doesn't drop the ball (as it seems many online believe it did), because this is a solid and fun show.

what i like about 13 ghosts of scooby doo is that its twice as spooky and funnier than the other scooby cartoons. Even Vincent Price is in it. too bad it didn't make it, but it was still fun. i still watch this cartoon up to date, and its cool.

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

After three horrible shows (Or the Dark Ages as I call it) Hanna-Barbera attempted to rescue the series from ultimate destruction. The first attempt being this show FAILED.

I will agree that the premise for this show is great! It adds a sense of action and adventure that would later save the franchise. This show unlike it's predecessor relies more on adventure and spookiness then on humor. This time the ghosts are real!

The New Scooby-Doo Mysteries (Or the new Scooby and Scappy Show?) reintroduced the character of Daphne. This time Daphne had a new `80s look to her and no longer was danger prone (something else that would later save the series.) The addition of Vincent Price was very effective and added to the new mood Hanna-Barber wanted.

But with some many positive elements how did the show fail? Two names come up to mind: Scrappy-Doo and Flim Flam. If these two characters would not have been on the show it would have survived.

Scooby, Shaggy, Daphne, and Vincent alongside this new premise would have made for a terrific comeback. To bad Scrappy and Flim Flam had to ruin everything.
