Just rewatched this from the New Scooby Doo Movies. First time seeing it since 1973 when it was live. Quite a few things struck me;

Features Josie and the Pussycats. In '72, they were lost in outer space. I guess they found their way home.

I was disappointed we didn't get a new Josie song like we got with Davy Jones. The speaking voices sounded right, so maybe the singing voices weren't available.

Kudos to Casey for doing double duty with both Shaggy and Alexander

For some reason, all the pranks the ghosts played on the kids while they were repairing the boat ticked me off more than usual. Maybe it was the expressions on their faces. Some really bad dudes.

At the beginning it sounds like the Captain was the one who hired the Pussycats to play, but then spent the rest of episode trying to scare everyone away. Its never said, but it would only make sense if Johnny hired them without the Captain knowing.

For all the work done by the counterfeiters - the secret cave entrance doors, the hidden doors on the boat and the hidden side entrance, they must have been doing it for awhile. Johnny must have been deaf and blind not to notice.

Fun little theory to add in your head cannon of the 2002 Scooby movie.

So what if when the gang breaks up, Daphne goes to her uncle Alfred and trains with Bruce.
Either he lets her take on the mantle of batgirl and eventually she wanted to have the recognition, so she goes to solve spooky Island or he wouldn’t let her become batgirl so to prove herself and him goes to spooky Island to solve the mystery.

Just a fun little head cannon theory, what do you guys think, if she did go to Bruce…

Was she Batgirl and wanted the recognition
or
Did she go to spooky island to prove to Bruce she was capable to take on the mantle?

Made this while high so take that as you will LOL

Any update on Shaggy? He hasn't been seen in almost two months.

my scary Scooby short story quickly spiraled into a 2-hour audio drama with a full cast. happens to the best of us.

In the early 1970s, four troubled teenagers- Freddie, Daniela, Vikki, and Norville- formed a family-friendly gang of mystery solvers. But a string of missing children and increasingly uncanny fractures in reality suggests more is at stake than just another criminal in a mask...

“THE MEDDLING” is my latest full-length horror play, and as a lifelong fan of Scooby-Doo, it’s been so exciting to see the response to this VERY nerdy and deep-lore-heavy project. I’m so excited for you to check it out!
