https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=caqQxDoySzs What if there really was a group that drove around in a van solving mysteries, just like Mystery Incorporated in Scooby Doo? Would the police threaten to arrest them for wasting their time? What would happen if they encountered flesh-eating children in a supposedly haunted house? Thats the premise of Saturday Morning Mystery, which does something unique: after starting out as a parody, it ratchets up the scares and turns into a balls-to-the-wall horror film. Usually, particularly in this era of sequels and reboots, its the other way around. In a fair world, Spencer Parsons movie wouldve won some awards, launched the careers of its stars and made Parsons a man to watch, but instead the movie disappeared into the ether and got lost among a million and one other titles. Its worth singling out, especially if youve ever wanted to see Fred and Daphne do the nasty in a haunted house.
