Product Description Like, YIKES! Track down the spookiest cases ever unravelled by Scooby and the Mystery, Inc. gang in these 4 frightfully entertaining episodes! The supernatural sleuthing begins when the gang sails into an unearthly encounter with spirit of Redbeard the Pirate in "Go Away Ghost Ship!" Then, there's more sea-going intrigue when a mystery ship leads our heroes to a fog-bound island where a buried pirate treasure causes a hair-raising "Hassle in the Castle." Next, a road trip to a rock concert strikes a chilling chord for Mystery, Inc. as they face the eerie apparitions of "The Haunted House Hang-Up." And, when Scooby and the gang try to cash in on a million-dollar inheritance by sleeping in a ghost-filled mansion they quickly find that "A Night of Fright Is No Delight!" So join the fun if you dare -- as SCOOBY DOO'S CREEPIEST CAPERS serves up more spook-busting action than you can shake a Scooby snack at! .com This compilation from the '70s TV series finds the crime-solving fivesome (two girls, two boys, and a dog) nabbing many criminally minded adults masquerading as ghosts. But that should be a surprise only to them, because viewers old and new of this cartoon with a laugh track are as familiar with the group's M.O as they are with Shaggy's elevated sandwiches. In "Go Away Ghost Ship," the team tries to intercept a marauding apparition of a vessel only to be sunk and shanghaied to a "dead" pirate's hideaway. "A Night of Fright Is No Delight" finds Scooby-Doo named as one of five possible heirs to an eccentric millionaire's fortune. The catch? The inheritors must survive the night in the deceased's haunted home. The crew are boating again in "Hassle in the Castle" when engine trouble lands them on the shores of Haunted Isle. Daphne falls through a trap door, and Fred must devise a way to catch the phantom and save his pals. Finally, the gang's car radiator overheats, landing them in "The Haunted House Hang-up." Shaggy and Scooby-Doo's quest for well water for the car quickly lands the entire group in spooky pursuit of a headless phantom. These four 22-minute episodes are harmless enough to be viewed by all ages, but will be most enjoyed by children ages 4 and older, and their nostalgic parents. --Kimberly Heinrichs

Essential Scooby!
If you don't buy this video tape today, don't call yourself a fan of Scooby Doo. This contains 4 of Scooby's best episodes! The FIRST episode contains creepy story of a ghost ship. The story starts normal, and gradually lets us into the tale of terror. The scenery is spooky and well done. The seperation of the gang on the ghost ship builds suspense. Daphne and Velmah take a crack at some comical one liners. (Kind of intrude on Shaggy's territory!) Well, moving on, there is a hilarious moment when Scooby and Shaggy have to buy time by cooking an unusual pirate stew! Later, clues start appearing, and we discover that this so called ghost ship may actually be linked to some human criminal activity. Shaggy's guess at the password is well done. 'Yum, yum, yum, and a liverwurst alamode. Wow! What a password!' We also get to see how brave Scooby and Shaggy can be with a few Scooby snacks! The SECOND episode is also really good. It's the old inheritance story, but with a Scooby twist. Scooby may inherit a fortune, but will he survive through the night? It has a nice creepy beginning, but they don't forget to put the laughs in. The gradual transition from normal to creepy is also well done. There is also the interesting guest star. (Cousin Slicker) Shaggy's one liners are ofcourse there: 'I gotta be brave. I gotta be brave. I gotta be brave. I gotta...I gotta be some kind of nut!' The THIRD episode is flat out hilarious. The gang lands on an island, and soon find themselves in a spooky castle. There is a hilarious scene where Velmah must carry Shaggy, Fred, and Scooby in a panic. The disappearance of Daphne creates suspense. Good! Shaggy's great one liners are ofcourse there. GHOST: "I warned you to leave. Now you must all pay." SHAGGY: "I'll pay! I'll pay! How about 4 bits?" The villain is an unusually good loser in this episode, and he even offers a bit of charm. The FINAL episode keeps with the strength of this tape. The gang gets lost and finds themselves by a haunted mansion with ghosts. There is a great deal of suspense as they face the possible danger of a headless ghost. Shaggy's one liners are ofcourse there. When asked if he and Scooby are curious as to what is going on he boldly says: "NOT IN THE LEAST!" The scenery is plausible, but yet carries a spooky charm. I don't want to ruin the ending, but there is a charming deviation from the normal routine as far as the typical unmasking ceremony goes. These are 4 of Scooby's best episodes. Don't miss them! SIDE NOTE: If you buy this Scooby tape, you don't need: "The Haunted House Hangup." Because both episodes on this tape are present on "Scooby's Creepiest Capers."

Disappointing
I echo the sentiments of the last reviewer - my 2 1/2 year old daughter adores Scooby Doo (as did I as a child) but when are we going to see the 6 or 7 original episodes come out that have never been released on VHS, DVD, or anything? It seems like the same old episodes (no matter how great they are) keep getting recycled on different tapes and I find that very disappointing. Bring on the unreleased episodes - whoever does it will surely profit from the many Scooby fans who would snatch it up ASAP.

Buyer Beware - a re-release - very disappointing
We pre-ordered this when there was no description of it's content. We thought the cartoon network was releasing a new set of original episodes. To our great disappointment, the tape came today and all four epesodes are ones we already have. Besure to check the description before you buy.
