Hi. I'm Scrappy-Doo.

[eerie music]

[screeching]

(male #1) And in the, uh, ahem, category of best actor in a horror film..

...our panel of judges has chosen

Judson Carr for his performance

in "The Transylvanian Terror".

[audience applauds]

And now the moment you've all been waiting for

our special preview of next year's horror hit

"The Curse Of The Shadow Creature."

Just as soon as I start the projector.

[eerie music]

[audience gasps]

No, my friends, something's wrong

with your ceremony.

Ha-ha-ha-ha.

[audience gasps]

You've glorified make-believe horror too long.

Now you'll see what it's like to really face

the powers of darkness.

[audience gasps]

This will be the last time your panel of judges

gives an award for anything!

[clamoring]

Ha-ha-ha-ha.

(Velma) 'Jinkies! I'm sure glad we could get tickets'

for tonight's Batty Awards.

Maybe we'll get to meet some of our

favorite movie monsters.

(both) Monsters!

Oh, boy, monsters are our kind of people

right, Uncle Scooby?

Uncle Scoob?

You're not gonna find any monsters

under that rug, Uncle Scooby.

We're not even there yet.

He-he-he-he.

It's a long drive to Brandon Davies' estate.

We may be a little late.

Oh, well, Fred, better late than never.

In this case, Daphne

like, better never than late.

(Fred) 'Here we are, everybody. Hillside manor.'

And just in time for something. Look!

[clamoring]

Ruff and double ruff!

Monsters. Millions of 'em. Let's go, guys.

Scrappy, wait!

Okay, you monsters, put up your claws.

I'll take you on one at a time.

Alright, we'll be fair. Groups of ten.

Hey. Uncle Scoob..

I almost had 'em.

thud

crash

Wait! Oh, come back!

There's got to be an explanation.

An explanation for what, Mr. Davies?

For the shadow creature that appeared

during the ceremony, i-it seemed to come

'right out of the movie I was showing'

'and frightened all my guests away.'

[gasps] This could ruin the Batty Awards for good.

- Can we take a look around? - Oh, sure. Come with me.

I had just started the projector

and was on my way back downstairs

when the film broke and the shadow creature appeared.

Then maybe we'd better start in the projection room.

And we'll start somewhere else

like, anywhere else.

Here's the projection room, but I don't know

what you expect to find.

Neither do we, Mr. Davies.

- But this wasn't it. - Oh, no! Film!

It's been cut to pieces.

- Who would do such a thing? - I don't know.

The producer lent me his only copy of the movie

for the preview. Oh, he'll be furious.

Hm. I guess we'll have to look for clues.

(Shaggy) There ought to be a light switch around here somewhere.

(Scrappy) Aw, Shaggy, the best place to look

for a shadow creature is in the dark.

Like, why do you think I'm looking for the lights?

- Right. - Never mind. Here he is now.

Alright, you shadow creature, prepare to see light.

Ta-da-ta-da-ta-da! Puppy power!

I got him, Uncle Scoob! I got him!

- Yikes! - Don't I got him?

Let go of me, you little fool.

cuckoo cuckoo

Gotcha!

[hisses]

[instrumental music]

(male #2) 'I've got you now.'

It looks like he's right, Scoob. We're goners! Ohh!

- Yeah, goners! - Who are you?

Like, we'd like to ask you the same question

except I think we already know. Oh ho ho!

That's right. He's Creighton Ames.

Oh. He-he-he. Uh, who?

Jeepers, the famous actor!

Apparently not famous enough for Mr. Davies there.

'He's given the Batty Award for best actor'

to somebody else for three years in a row.

I'm warning you, Davies

you haven't seen the last of me.

Mr. Ames sure seemed mad.

Uh, well, uh, don't worry about him, he's just a sore loser.

Uh, go ahead and look around, kids, but I've got to try

to explain this to the newspapers.

Then we'd better get back to looking for clues.

Right, Velma, and Scoob and I

know just the place, the kitchen.

[slurping] Yeah, right. Yum.

Oh, I get it. No, I don't get it.

But my Uncle Scooby always gets his shadow creature.

Wow!

Hey, how about that?

A full-page ad for the awards in the "Times."

That's very impressive.

Not nearly as impressive as what will happen to you

unless you leave here at once!

We'll see about that.

So you shall!

Ah-ha-ha-ha-ha!

[wind gusting]

Phew!

The shadow creature

'it's disappeared!'

(Daphne) And this room's a mess.

The wind even tore this ad off the poster.

Or almost off. Look at this, guys.

"Priceless first-day covers stolen."

Gee, that's too bad.

But who'd wanna steal a bunch of covers?

Come on, Uncle Scooby, that shadow creature's

'gotta be around here somewhere.'

Hey, what's this?

It's stuck.

[grunting]

A full moon, Uncle Scoob.

Just the thing for hunting monsters.

'Especially shadow creatures and werewolves.'

Werewolves? Uh hoo hoo. Ooh.

- Grr. - Shaggy?

Shaggy! Oh, no! The full moon!

Hey, Uncle Scoob, did you find the shadow creature?

Not yet!

Hey, a wolf-man. That's even better!

Oh, no!

Hey, Scoob, look at this.

The Film Fan's yearbook has a section

on the Batty Awards.

[growling]

Zoinks! Like, take it. It's yours.

And so is this and this and this! Ooh-ho-ho-ho.

Ruff and double ruff ruff.

We got you this time.

[growls]

Hey, what's all the commotion?

(Daphne) 'It's Shaggy, the dogs, and the wolf-man.'

(Velma) Somehow I'm not surprised.

(Shaggy and Scooby) 'Whoa!'

(Shaggy) Somebody get the number of that truck.

Well, I guess we took care of that wolf-man.

Right, Uncle Scoob?

And speaking of the wolf-man..

It's Harrison Stone.

(Shaggy) 'Like, he was one of the founders of the Batty Awards'

but formed a competing group

after a disagreement with Brandon Davies.

- Heh. It says so right here. - That's true.

I came back here tonight to patch things up

with my old partner.

Sneaking around behind a secret panel

seems like a funny way to patch up a quarrel.

If you'd seen that shadow creature in action

you'd be careful, too.

Uh, Mr. Davies is in his office upstairs.

Thanks. But I can find my own way around.

Uh, like, when you see him, could you give him his mail?

Uhh.

Let me take a look at those letters.

That's odd.

None of these envelopes is addressed to Mr. Davies.

And that's not all.

I think you'd better hang on to these, Shaggy.

[shadow creature whispering] 'But not for long. Heh-heh-heh-heh.'

Hey, a king-sized kitchen.

Just the place to fix a king-sized snack.

- Right, Scoob? - Right, Shaggy.

Hey, what about the shadow creature?

- Let him fix his own snack. - 'I found him.'

(Scrappy) 'I found the shadow creature, Uncle Scooby.'

Right, Scrappy. Who is it this time?

- 'Another innocent bystander?' - Ruff, ruff, ruff.

You doubt me, you, you fool?

[rumbling]

Ruff! Ruff!

(Shaggy) Oh, no, sir, not me.

Like, you're the realest shadow creature

I ever seen. Ooh-ooh-ooh-hoo.

Come on, Scooby.

- Uh-oh. - Alright, shadow creature.

We've got you now.

Ha-ha-ha-ha.

I'll teach you to meddle in my affairs.

Quick, Scoob, do something!

I'm trying! I'm trying!

Gee, Uncle Scoob, if you wanna open a door

all you gotta do is push.

Yeow-w-w!

thud

Alright, shadow creature

you're dealing with Scrappy-Doo now.

Prepare to splat!

Aargh!

Like, come on, Scrappy!

Run now! Splat later!

Head for the door, Scoob! He's right behind us!

- Oh, maybe he's not! - Yikes!

[growls]

[growls]

- Yeow! - Whoa!

(Scrappy) Whee! Whoo-hoo!

Wup! Wup! Wup! Wup! Wup! Whee!

Wup! Wup! Wup! Wup! Wup! Whoo-hoo-hoo!

Ruff ruff!

Okay, everybody off.

Off? Uh-uh.

You mean, like, jump?

crash

Hey, what's going on in here?

That's what we'd like to know.

We're gonna get us a shadow creature, that's what.

That must be him now.

Ta-da-ta-da-ta-da! Puppy power!

[rustling]

It looks like he's got him!

Alright, you, your lurking days are over.

(Fred) 'It's Creighton Ames!'

Well, he said we hadn't seen the last of him.

Davies is selling the best actor awards.

I'm certain of it.

You mean people are paying to win?

Yes. Otherwise, I'd have won myself.

- I came back to look for proof. - That's nonsense.

If I was so broke I had to sell the awards

do you think I could afford to live in this house?

[laughs] Come on, Ames

this time I'll make sure you leave.

Let's check out the elevator for clues.

Right, since it's the last place anyone saw the shadow creature.

Like, that's a terrific reason for us to look somewhere else.

Right!

You go ahead, Uncle Scooby.

This looks like a great place to set up a Scrappy trap.

If you catch anything, be sure not to let us know.

- Yikes! - Yikes!

Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha.

Ha. It's just a dummy mummy. Ha-ha-ha.

[gulps] Right, Shaggy.

Hee-hee-hee-hee.

Come on.

There's nobody here but us and a bunch of wax figures. Ha.

[instrumental music]

[hisses]

(both) Yikes!

Ah-ooh-ah ah-choo!

There you are.

Come back here.

(Shaggy) Like, what would your husband say?

(Shaggy and Scooby) Help!

Hey, look out for my..

(both) Yikes!

(Scrappy) '...Scrappy trap!'

Now, I've got you!

Alright, lady monster, listen and listen tight.

My Uncle Scooby's busy inspecting my Scrappy trap

so I'm gonna splat you for him!

Ta-da-ta-da-ta-da!

Puppy power!

Oops!

- Missed my monster. - That's no monster.

She's Dolores Hanfield.

A real estate developer.

I had to put on this silly outfit

just to get into the house tonight.

She's been haunting me to sell this place

so she can put up a-a shopping center.

If you'll remember, Mr. Davies

it was you who originally approached me.

[chuckles] I told you I'm not interested anymore.

Let me show you out.

Jeepers, for all the monsters we've met

we're not any closer to solving this mystery

than when we arrived.

Hm. I'm not so sure about that, Daphne.

This looks like a piece of the film

the shadow creature destroyed

up in the projection room.

What's it doing down here?

Maybe a better look at this film will give us a clue.

Come on.

Oh, like, if you're following the shadow creature that way..

[gulps] Ha ha, we're going this way.

Going outside is a super idea, Uncle Scooby.

We'll lure that old shadow creature out into the open

and then we'll pounce on him.

[gulps] Uh, right. Uh, rounce.

And there's the perfect place for the shadow creature to hide.

A maze.

Like, I think he's right, Scoob.

Then what are we waiting for?

♪ Doop doon doon doon doon doon ♪♪

(Scooby) No!

(Shaggy) Hey, Scrappy, can't we, like

talk this over?

Gee, Uncle Scoob, I think we're lost.

'Uh, what do we do now?'

I don't know. Hee-hee-hee-hee.

Uh, we'll stay right here.

If we don't even know where we are

the shadow creature will never find us.

(Scooby) 'Yeah. Hee-hee-hee-hee.'

There, that should do it.

It's a scene from the movie alright.

(Velma) 'A location scene.'

'And isn't that Brandon Davies in the background?'

Gee, I didn't know he was an actor.

"Philatelist?" Jinkies! I've got it!

We've got to find Shaggy and those envelopes

before the shadow creature does. Come on!

Uh, Scoob, why do I get the feeling we're not alone?

'Cause you're not.

I didn't ask you-you-you-y-y-y-you!

(both) Yikes!

[instrumental music]

thud

Well, Scoob, I guess we lost him.

That's okay, Uncle Scoob. I found him for you.

Scrappy!

Argh!

[panting]

Like, if that monster sneaks up on us once more

I'll scre-e-e-am!

(Shadow monster) Come back here, you!

[muffled mumbling]

Whoa!

Ta-da-ta-da-ta-da!

Puppy power!

We got him, Uncle Scoob!

Don't we got him?

You got him alright, Scrappy

right behind the eight ball.

But with all those monsters from the Batty Awards

loose in the house, who is it?

That's easy to figure out once you know

what's really been going on here tonight.

The first clue was the newspaper story

about the priceless first-day covers.

(Fred) 'Right, they're not blankets at all'

'but a special and very valuable kind of stamp.'

You mean, like, the ones I found in that old book?

I mean exactly the ones you found.

Then the shadow creature wasn't trying to break up

the Batty Awards, he was after the stamps.

Wrong. He already had the stamps.

He was after the film.

- Huh? - But why?

Because one of its scenes accidentally showed the thief

leaving the stamp shop after the robbery.

Brandon Davies impersonated the shadow creature

so it would be blamed when he destroyed the film.

But why would a rich man like Mr. Davies

have to steal stamps?

Because I'm not a rich man, not anymore.

I needed the money to keep this house

and continue the Batty Awards.

He used the mansion's secret passages to walk into a room

just after the shadow creature went out.

And his magic with the doors and floating furniture

was all done with wires he'd rigged up earlier.

Oh, well, like, as long as we're here, let's take a look

at some of these great old movies.

Right, Shaggy.

- Oops! - 'Hey, Uncle Scooby.'

Maybe this will help.

Help!

Scooby-dooby-doo-o-o!

And Scrappy-dappy-doo, too-o-o!
