10 Horror Movies With Scooby Doo Plots

When someone starts killing the students at “Pendleton University” using urban legends, who you gonna call? How about tall, slender redhead Alicia Witt and handsome, square-jawed Jared Leto, who even when they’re not being surprised by a Weird Janitor, chased by a Hooded Figure or investigating suspects that have ‘Red Herring’ written all over them, will remind you more of Daphne and Fred than Sarah Michelle Gellar and Freddie Prinze Jr did.

Before another pinhead can be whacked, though, Professor Robert Englund (gee, do you think he’ll be a suspect?) reminds us of the title with a folklore class where he disproves the commonly held belief that mixing Pepsi and Pop Rocks will cause your intestines to explode. If you actually tried this as a kid, then you’re way ahead of this group, who react with sheer terror when the class clown pretends to go into convulsions, leading to the immortal line: “He’s gonna explode - somebody call 911!”

The culprit turns out to be loony Rebecca Gayheart, who’s been using urban legends to take revenge on those responsible for her boyfriend’s death (plus a few innocents besides). Come the finale, she’s shot twice, thrown through a window, sent through a windshield at high speed and drowned, yet still manages to return for a “Scooby Dooby Dooooo” moment – with her hair perfectly intact.
