What's New Scooby-Doo?: Lights Camera Mayhem (2003)

 




A delightful episode. 

In this episode the gang visits a movie studio. However, they soon find that an action film's production is being hampered by a ghost who is demanding that they stop filming immediately. The gang gets jobs as stunt doubles so that they can solve the mystery. 

There is a lot to enjoy about this episode. The ghost's design and voice are fantastic. There is a real creepy feel to this character that reminds one of the monsters in Scooby-Doo! Where Are You? The ghost also feels like a real threat to our heroes as he actually puts them in real danger rather than just scaring them. The humor in this episode also works very well. There are quite a few great jokes. The idea of cartoon characters being stunt doubles is a standard cartoon story, but this episode still manages to get some very good laughs out of it. The scene with Velma doing her stunt is especially funny. The mystery is also very well done. The reveal of who it is makes perfect sense, yet it is not who you might automatically guess. 

This is a sheer delight for Scooby fans.
