10 Horror Movies With Scooby Doo Plots
7. Thir13en Ghosts
In The 13 Ghosts of Scooby Doo, the opening of the Chest of Demons caused an unlucky number of spirits to escape before Scooby, Shaggy and Daphne attempted to recapture them with the assistance of a cute kid named Flim Flam and Vincent Van Ghoul, a warlock voiced by Vincent Price.
In Thir13en Ghosts, twelve ghosts held in twelve cages in the basement of an isolated mansion are unwittingly released, causing The Damsel In Distress, The Cute Kid and The Comic Relief to run around screaming for the rest of the movie. And before you ask, yes, they do decide to split up inside the haunted house. It’s that lame.
In place of the warlock, there’s Matthew Lillard, who even though he’s psychic doesn’t realize that F Murray Abraham faked his own death in the opening scenes or that Embeth Davidtz’s ghostbuster isn’t all that she seems. Lillard also voices Shaggy in the Scooby Doo Mystery Incorporated TV series, where one of the recurring characters is….Vincent Van Ghoul. He’s also done Shakespeare.
