Scooby-Doo! Music of the Vampire

The gang solves another mystery. The sewer adventure is too much for most of the team and Velma decides that everybody needs a vacation. She takes them to a town in the bayou founded by a Van Helsing. It's Vampire Palooza. The girls are eager to meet the author of Silverlight. Vincent Van Helsing's old fashion vampire book is not selling. Fangenschanz is a vampire themed performers. A seemingly real vampire is on the loose which attracts media attention and helps liven up the failing festival.

The new animation style is fine although the colors are a bit too glossy. The greens are radioactive. I like the opening adventure in the sewers. I like the new adventure setup. A couple of plot elements do annoy me. I don't like Daphne as the damsel in distress. Daphne should be more than the girlie girl of the group. Along with being scared of roaches, it gets too stereotypical. I would also the group to have more time together solving the mystery. It's the best part of the group's chemistry. That's why I like the opening so much. Overall, this is pretty good but it's not a classic.

I don't usually like musicals. (too cliche). But I feel like even musical enjoyers wouldn't like this. The Songs are pretty bad. There are like 2 average songs and the rest are bad. And the musical theme takes away from the actual mystery. Vampire festival is a good setting but they don't do anything with it. There are the vampire performers who could've been good, but they don't do anything with them. The entrance lady was annoying. The sub-plot about the mayor guy was pointless. And the vampire looks really bad. But the worst part of the movie is...🥁🥁🥁 The fact that Shaggy and Scooby are split from the rest of the gang for like half the movie. There is NO MYSTERY, NO FUNNIES, NO THOUGHT PROCESS and NO SCOOBY SNACKS. NOT EVEN ONE! Getting on my nerves. Emoji Movie is better than this garbadge.

I don't know where Imdb got the description for this movie, because it's nowhere close to the plot. What it's really about is the gang heading to Little Bat Town for a bat-themed vacation after they get an invite from Vincent Van Helsing, a less than famous horror writer. During a performance from a vampire loving theatre troupe, it appears that the soul of a real undead bloodsucker has broken free from his coffin. With various clues and suspects lurking around it takes a while to solve this mystery. The overall plot was pretty good, but the music was a little overdone. It kind of seemed like a last-minute add-on to get people's attention and wasn't really necessary.

The whole concept of going to a Vampire Festival to get a break form monsters only to find monsters is classic Scooby Doo thinking.

Need a vacation from all the scary monster stuff? Then go to a monster festival, makes total sense...and fits brilliantly into the philosophy of the Scooby gang....sometimes you wonder if they don't do things like this just to torture Shaggy and Scooby.

It fits extremely well into the Scooby world, even down to the humor involved.

And the parody of the vampire story fad, is, of course, the only reason this installment was made. It brings the movies back to the Rice/King parodies in Zombie Island and Witch's Ghost...

...and the twist is fun...unfortunately that's where it dies and continues just long enough to turn what was potential into yet another lackluster conclusion.

It came VERY close to being one of the most solid Scooby Doo movies in the catalogue though. Certainly worth a purchase.

I have somehing with the song "Done with monsters" which has been sung by the gang while they were going to the vacation, I mean, I can't get it out of my mind anymore. That song is the thing that should NOT be. Honestly, the movie wasn't that bad, but this song was.
