The gang solves another mystery. The sewer adventure is too much for most of the team and Velma decides that everybody needs a vacation. She takes them to a town in the bayou founded by a Van Helsing. It's Vampire Palooza. The girls are eager to meet the author of Silverlight. Vincent Van Helsing's old fashion vampire book is not selling. Fangenschanz is a vampire themed performers. A seemingly real vampire is on the loose which attracts media attention and helps liven up the failing festival.

The new animation style is fine although the colors are a bit too glossy. The greens are radioactive. I like the opening adventure in the sewers. I like the new adventure setup. A couple of plot elements do annoy me. I don't like Daphne as the damsel in distress. Daphne should be more than the girlie girl of the group. Along with being scared of roaches, it gets too stereotypical. I would also the group to have more time together solving the mystery. It's the best part of the group's chemistry. That's why I like the opening so much. Overall, this is pretty good but it's not a classic.

I don't know what it is about this film but it's amazing! Whenever I watch it and here the Bayou Breeze playing in the background, the nostalgia just comes back. It gives me chills just hearing it. Speaking of songs, the music was great. I found nothing wrong with any of the voices. It brought the movie to life. The plot was terrific along with the voice acting. The characters added such a nice touch to the movie and the movie just flows well. The main vampire was terrifying yet fun. Also, there were many times where I found myself laughing more than any other Scooby movie. Especially with Scooby and Shaggy. Overall, this movie is unforgettable and honestly the best one out of them all.

The whole concept of going to a Vampire Festival to get a break form monsters only to find monsters is classic Scooby Doo thinking.

Need a vacation from all the scary monster stuff? Then go to a monster festival, makes total sense...and fits brilliantly into the philosophy of the Scooby gang....sometimes you wonder if they don't do things like this just to torture Shaggy and Scooby.

It fits extremely well into the Scooby world, even down to the humor involved.

And the parody of the vampire story fad, is, of course, the only reason this installment was made. It brings the movies back to the Rice/King parodies in Zombie Island and Witch's Ghost...

...and the twist is fun...unfortunately that's where it dies and continues just long enough to turn what was potential into yet another lackluster conclusion.

It came VERY close to being one of the most solid Scooby Doo movies in the catalogue though. Certainly worth a purchase.
