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.

It surprised me how Scooby-Doo had never done a Phantom of the Opera based movie before this one. Stage Fright (SF) is pretty good. It's based in Chicago (GO BEARS!), which is pretty scary on it's own. Once upon a time, there was a ghost in the 80s who hated hippies, so he haunted the theatre and shut it down. Only for the theatre to re-open 30 years later. That means that the ghost is back 😨. I like the side characters, like the short guy, the magician guy and the scary lady singer. I wish the movie dedicated more time to them and dedicated less time to the STUPID VIOLIN GIRL. (Violin is not impressive). Think they could've dedicated more time the mystery instead of Daphne and Fred aswell. Good atmosphere, lots of spooky moments and plenty of twists and turns. (No Bean deducts a few points) GO HORNETS!
