What's New Scooby-Doo?: Toy Scary Boo (2002)

 



A really fun episode. 

In this episode, toys seem to come to life an wreak havoc in a toy store in the middle of the night. 

What makes this episode stand out is the idea of having a group of toys instead of one monster or ghost. This gives the episode a very unique feel, which makes it really stand out. It also helps that the toys feel like a real threat. While their designs are not creepy, the toys prove to be quite dangerous. In one scene they nearly kill the gang, when they are in an elevator. This gives the episode a very effective sense of suspense. The mystery is also very well handled here, with some great misdirection used throughout. 

My only real complaint about this episode is that the humor often falls flat with little of it being that funny here. 

This is a delight for Scooby fans.
