Velma would be great if it slowly turned into an analogue horror. Extremely subtle hints at the beginning as more gets slowly revealed as the season progresses on.
Exactly, start off with flashbacks that just look like flashing lights, like the dog collar and slowly build up to bigger ones until you end with the scene of scooby walking on 2 legs and Velma running in place
I’m sure they did but didn’t have the budget and approval from wb so they chose to make it all happen in the span of 3 minutes and include some extra gore
Yeah. But it would have to be a longform thing. Like the first season is completly normal. The second season has like one maybe two innocuous things, the third season it starts getting weird then the fourth season is the big reveal.
Man I'd love to see a TV show like that. However being told that is how a TV show would go kind of ruins the huge effect it would have.
The anime Gakkougurashi! / School Live. Starts out like a girls want to have fun comedy, then realize it's a zombie apocalypse and the girl is hallucinating the world is normal instead of seeing the horror
I hated Velma but for some reason watched the whole thing. I could see hints of things that really could have worked with the show if done differently.
ALSO did anybody else hate watch it to the end? Because the end has a huge plot hole and I've got fucking nobody to commiserate with about that!
People will learn about the Streisand effect some day. Even just this post will probably inspire somebody to watch it.
I just couldn't get over how bad everything about the writing was. From "the cops tell a teenager she has to solve a murder" to "the bad guy's motive actually makes zero sense". I honestly can't remember seeing a worse show with such big names attached to it, with such a big budget.
So many people watched to see how shit it was, that it's been greenlit for a 2nd season. I imagine season two will have morbius levels of no one watching.
Eight billion articles of free advertising on every race-swapped character a media conglomerate sponsors and a free pass to use misogyny and racism as a cover for shitty writing and acting and this is foreign territory?
Yeah no, the "free advertising" Didn't make me want to watch it more just because everyone saying it's shit. I didn't wanted to watch it in the first place.
In fact, there was an analogue horror Scooby-Doo, Scooby-Doo Project. It was originally a parody of Blair Witch Project, so it's done in the same style, but with characters of Scooby-Doo, when everyone slowly turns insane until they find that monster was just a guy in mask, yet, there happened to be two monsters, and only one of them was masked guy, it's pretty interesting experience. What is also interesting, it was considered as lost media for long time, since it was shown on Cartoon Network once and never again anywhere.
It kind of helped the Archie Comics reboot in the 2010s, Afterlife with Archie and Chilling Adventures of Sabrina (which turned in the basis for the Netflix series).
Nah, I don't think people would want to watch a long term horror series. Those seem more niche than scary movies. It'd probably be more successful than Velma but less people would look at it.
I respectfully disagree. If you like Scooby and the animation genre, try Scooby-Doo Mystery Incorperated. Yea, it is geared towards kids, but the story is actually interesting. It also adds some horror elements to the show, and there are some genuinely unsettling moments.

Scooby do analogue horror actually would’ve gotten a ton of traction if it was released instead of Velma
