10 Things You Didn't Know About Scooby Doo
4. One Of The Show's Writers Also Made Monster Nudie Films
Donald F Glut, who wrote episodes of Transformers and X-Men as well as The Scooby Doo Show (for which he created the 10,000 Volt Ghost), has the kind of resume best described as “varied.” In the late 90s, he segued into directing monster nudie films with the ultra-cheap, shot-in-a-field likes of Dinosaur Valley Girls (1996), The Erotic Rites Of Countess Dracula (2001), The Mummy’s Kiss (2003), Countess Dracula’s Orgy Of Blood (2004) and The Mummy’s Kiss: 2nd Dynasty (2006).
Weirdest of the lot (no mean feat) is Blood Scarab (2008), a senseless hodgepodge of new scenes and randomly inserted footage from Glut’s earlier movies, which if nothing else answers the age-old question: “Did Egyptian women have silicone implants?”
There are no masked villains or talking dogs here, but there’s a mummy, a group of vampires and a wisecracking Renfield who looks like Brad Dourif. There’s slapstick for the little kids, raunchy gags for the older ones, plus oiled handmaidens for dad, which makes it the greatest family movie ever.
