A fun atmospheric cartoon.
In this short, Shaggy (along with Scooby and Scrappy) visits his ancestorial home of Moonlight Castle. There the creepy butler puts a medallion on him that turns him into a werewolf.
There is a lot to enjoy about this short. Moonlight Castle has a wonderfully creepy atmospheric feel to it. The background art and use of lighting and muted colors give this cartoon a great creepy feel to it, similar to that of the original Scooby-Doo Where Are You episodes. The storyline is quite clever and perfect for these characters, and the cartoon has a strong ending.
The only real problem with this cartoon is that it is never that funny. There is a charm to some of the jokes but it still never really made me laugh.
Shaggy would later turn into a werewolf again in the feature length movie, Scooby-Doo! and the Reluctant Werewolf (1988).
This is a fun little cartoon.
