Scooby-Doo and the Witch's Ghost (1999) Movie Script
Is anyone there?
Early
man's struggle for survival
was a harsh one.
Threats to his existence were
everywhere.
I really must switch to decaf.
Fortunately, man had his
greater intelligence
to help him survive.
It is with the use of tools
that humans learned to overcome
their savage enemies.
Please move to the next exhibit.
'P-p-professor.'
Behind you!
Aah!
- Argh!
- Argh!
Aah!
- Yikes!
- Yikes!
Like, stay right there.
Argh!
Argh!
- Raggy!
- Now, Scoob!
Rargh!
- Yes!
- Yes!
The trap worked, Scoob!
Yeah.
Give me four!
You're the man, Scoob!
You're the man.
- Argh!
- Argh!
- Yikes!
- Yikes!
Scooby-Dooby-Doo
where are you?
We got some work to do now
Scooby-Dooby-Doo
where are you?
We need some help
from you now
Come on Scooby-Doo I see you
Pretending you got a sliver
You're not foolin' me
'cause I can see
The way you shake and shiver
You know we got a mystery
to solve
So Scooby-Dooby
ready for your act
Don't hold back
And Scooby-Doo
if you come through
You're gonna have yourself
a Scooby snack
That's a fact
Scooby-Dooby-Doo
here are you
You're ready
and you're willing
If we can count on you
Scooby-Doo
I know we'll catch that
villain
Nice going, guys.
You caught 'em.
Uh, right. No problem, Freddy.
'But, like,
we had a little help.'
Who are you?
I don't believe it.
You're Ben Ravencroft,
the famous horror writer.
That's right.
And let's see who they are.
It's Perkins.
And Griswold
disgruntled archeologists
'from the museum's Babylonian
project.'
'They were upset with you'
'for cutting their funding,
Dr. Dean.'
And we would've gotten away
with it, too
if it wasn't for this
meddling... writer!
Like, that's a twist.
Yeah. Well, at least he didn't
call us kids. I hate that.
Guess you beat us to the punch,
Mr. Ravencroft.
Sorry.
I didn't mean to upstage you.
So what were you doing here?
I was doing research
on my latest novel
when I saw the archaeologists
acting suspiciously
and decided to investigate.
Mr. Ravencroft,
I am a huge fan of your work.
I have read all your books,
which, in my opinion
are the best horror stories
ever written.
Um, thanks, Velma.
You know my name?
And Daphne's and Fred's.
And Scooby
and Shaggy, of course.
I've admired your work
unraveling supernatural
mysteries
for some time now.
I mean, basically we're
in the same business
of mystery and the occult,
right?
Oh, please.
What we do pales in comparison
with the sheer palpable fright
of your novels.
I wouldn't say that.
I mean, take "The Dead Mall" for
example.
Oh, that creepy jewelry store
owner
with an incredibly complex
character.
You're very kind.
Listen, Velma,
I'm going back to my hometown
in Massachusetts this weekend
to the house where I wrote
my early books.
I go back every year
for the fall color.
It's very peaceful and relaxing.
Why don't you and your friends
come visit?
Really? Oh, that would be great.
- Uh, uh, wouldn't it, gang?
- Yeah!
We could use a break from all
these spooky mysteries.
And Oakhaven does have
one of the best restaurants
in New England.
Like, we're sold, eh, Scoob?
Yeah.
Wow! This color is spectacular,
eh, guys?
- Amazing.
- Yeah!
'Like, don't
forget me, old buddy.'
'And that scene at the end'
where the caretaker's flesh
dissolved
was so brilliant, I...
Oh, look, we're here.
Already?
Welcome to Oakhaven.
What?
I thought you said this was a
quiet little town.
- It was.
- Wow!
'This is a pretty popular spot.'
Sure, we always get a few leaf
peepers but never like this.
This is a... circus.
Oh, there's the mayor.
He'll know what's going on.
Like, maybe he'll know a place
to eat.
Yeah.
Welcome to old Oakhaven.
Have a wonderful time!
Ha-ha-ha!
So glad you could come.
'Mayor! Mayor Corey!'
Ben, my boy!
I'm glad you could come home
to see this.
And I see you brought
some friends and their dog.
Dog? Where?
Ha-ha! Welcome!
The more the merrier.
But what is all this?
It's great, isn't it?
Business is booming!
Not like a few months ago
when it was slower
than maple syrup on a cold day.
Hey, Ben!
- Hi, Mr. McKnight.
- Welcome home.
Here. Have a T-shirt before my
store sells out.
You can wear it
to the concert tomorrow.
- Concert?
- The Hex Girls.
You've heard of them, Fred?
Just now.
'"Oakhaven Autumn Fest.'
'Featuring the Hex Girls."'
A local group. You'll like 'em.
Kinda spooky.
"I met the ghost
of Oakhaven and lived?"
- Ghost?
- Ghost?
Jinkies!
Looks like there's a ghost
in your own back yard, Ben.
Not only that,
but it's his own ancestor
the ghost of Sarah Ravencroft.
That's ridiculous!
I thought we'd gotten past
all this witch nonsense.
What can I say, Ben?
Ever since we built
our puritan village
her ghost has appeared
many times.
Don't tell me.
You disturbed her spirit
with the construction..
And now she's haunting the town.
Uh, h-how did you know?
Ghost hunting's our specialty.
Oh, I see.
Did you say Puritan village?
- Ooh!
- Ooh!
'What you're
seeing is a perfect recreation'
of what life was like back
in the 1600s
as reenacted by our locals.
'When did all this go up?'
'About six months ago.'
'This is amazing, mayor!'
Oh! Corn husk dolls!
Aren't they cute, Fred?
Yeah. Charming.
Look, Scoob,
I've been a ba-a-a-d boy.
- Wouldst thou like to churn?
- Huh?
Like, it's your
turn to churn the butter, old buddy.
Uh-huh.
Ooh!
Now all we need is the popcorn.
So you say a ghost has been
appearing here?
I, uh, that's right, young lady.
Apparently we disturbed
the spirit of Ben's ancestor
who was persecuted as a witch
way back in 1657.
Unjustly persecuted.
Sarah Ravencroft
was a medicine woman
who practiced natural healing
and was unfairly accused because
of her eccentric ways!
Just like the Salem Witch
Trials.
Many men and women
who were a bit different
or didn't conform to the codes
of the colony
'suffered the same fate.'
Sarah was a healer.
It was said
she even kept a journal
of all the patients she cured
with her herbal remedies.
Look, Raggy.
It's a perfect fit, Scoob.
Yeah.
Ooh!
Huh?
Ow! Ooh!
Grrrr!
Easy, Scoob!
Like, what you got there,
old buddy?
- I don't know.
- I wonder what this is.
Looks like you've found an old
shoe buckle, my boy.
'Probably over 400 years old!'
Cool.
There. Like, look for another
one, Scoob
so I can have a matching pair.
Okay.
I, uh, we found all sorts of
items from the old colony
when we cleared this area
for construction.
Hand-made nails, horseshoes,
farm equipment.
- How about a book?
- A book?
You know how long I've been
searching for Sarah's journal
to officially clear our family
name?
Sorry, Ben. Nothing like that.
So what makes you think
it's Sarah's ghost
haunting this place?
Because the ghost said so.
Maybe you'll see her tonight.
- Oh, boy.
- You never know, Fred.
Hey! We'd like to see
a Puritan pizza joint.
- We're starved!
- Yeah!
Ha-ha-ha! Don't worry, boys.
We've got the best restaurant
in all New England.
It's back in town.
I'll walk you there.
Do you kids want to go?
Or would you like
to see my studio?
Wow! Would we ever!
Shaggy,
we'll meet up with you later.
Mayor, tell Jack that anything
they order is on me.
Zoinks! Like, what a great guy!
Yeah, great!
Oh, you're
gonna regret that offer, Ben.
- Ahh!
- Ahh!
Jack's gonna take good care
of you boys.
'You're gonna love his cooking.'
Like, I'm sure we will,
Your Honor.
Enjoy your stay at Oakhaven.
- Thanks, your dudeness.
- Oh!
Well, boys, are you hungry?
Man, are we ever!
Come on over here to the back.
I always have a table open
for VIPs.
- Groovy! Come on, Scoob!
- Oh!
You're Mr. Ravencroft's guests
so order up anything
on the menu, boys.
I've got a nice juicy hambone
for your dog.
What do you think?
Rone? Ruck!
Scooby's allergic to bones.
We'll have whatever that great
smell is.
Well, that's our Yankeepot roast
New England clam chowder
maple-baked ham and beans
roast turkey
with chestnut stuffing
and apple cinnamon pie!
Sounds great!
Like, give us two orders of
everything.
Oh, I love
people who love to eat.
'Wow! So this
is where it all started.'
Yes. I wrote all of my early
novels here.
Now I spend most of my time
in Europe
but I come back once a year to
recharge my batteries.
'Go ahead, Velma. Sit down.'
Jinkies!
This is a dream come true.
You have some cool things here,
Ben.
I'll say!
So whose portrait is this?
This is Sarah Ravencroft.
'I think it was painted
by a grateful patient.'
Of course,
she wasn't very popular
with the town's doctors.
Sarah was untraditional
in her approach to medicine.
She was a Wiccan.
- Say what?
- I've read about them.
Wiccans were people
who were in tune with
the forces of nature
and used them
for healing purposes.
Exactly.
She believed in using herbs
and other natural elements
to draw from the Earth's
powers to heal the sick.
Sarah helped many people
who could not afford
medical treatment.
She treated her patients
under a large oak tree
which she believed to have
healing powers.
Hey, I saw a huge oak tree like
that in the town square.
I've already searched the area
around that tree
but never found anything.
That book could finally prove
Sarah's innocence
and that she was a Wiccan,
not an evil witch.
Wiccans have been misunderstood,
accused of sorcery.
In fact, the word "witch"
comes from Wicca.
I'm impressed, Velma.
You know, doing research on
Sarah and the Wiccans
led me to read almost everything
about the world of superstition.
That's how I started writing
stories to frighten people.
I've never
seen anything like this.
Are you at least
tasting my food?
Like, it's the
best food we've ever had.
Rericious!
Ooh!
So, how's the food?
Pretty darn good.
Is there anything
left in the kitchen?
I'll be right back, boys.
I've got to make a run
to the market.
It's getting dark, guys.
Let's go see if that ghost is
going to make an appearance.
- Huh?
- Huh?
Like, we'd love to
but we haven't had
our dessert yet.
Yeah, yeah.
'Okay, but after you finish'
meet us at the Puritan village.
- Ben's already gone ahead.
- Great!
Like, if the ghost gets there
first
just start screaming without us.
Hey!
Come on.
We've been waiting here an hour.
The ghost is a no show.
Maybe she'll show up
at the concert tomorrow.
Too bad.
I was hoping to have a little
chat with my ghostly ancestor.
I wanted to ask her
where she hid her journal.
Boy, Ben seems to be pretty
obsessed with that book.
I'll say.
Well, we should all leave, too.
- Let's give it a chance, Ben.
- Yeah.
It's probably a hokey bed sheet
on a wire or something.
This could be funny.
Thanks for everything, Jack.
It was great.
Especially those last 12 pies.
'Oh. Glad you liked them.'
Boy, was that good eatin',
or what, Scoob?
Yeah!
Excuse me.
Gee, looks like everybody's
leaving.
Wonder if the ghost showed up.
Like, with no one here
this place is almost spooky,
Scoob.
Ha-ha. Ha-ha-ha.
Yeah.
Raggy.
- Girls!
- Yeah, girls!
Like, hi, girls.
Hi.
- Yikes!
- Yikes!
I think we lost them, old buddy.
And I thought there was only one
ghost witch.
Yeah!
Anyway, with all that runnin'
we worked off that big meal.
But you know,
now I'm hungry again.
Me, too!
- Yikes!
- Aah!
This town shall pay
for what it did to me!
Aah!
Yeow!
Like, it's every coward for
himself, old buddy!
What's going on, guys?
- A rhost.
- A roast?
- A witch's rhost.
- You saw the witch's ghost?
Yeah!
Ohh! Ooh!
- Can you show us where?
- Why? Do we have to?
She throws fire balls, man!
Oh, can you at least get off me
first, Freddy?
Gee, I'm sorry, Daph.
Like, down this street.
'There's no one here now.'
We thought we'd gotten away from
the first three witches
when this ghost chased us from
down there.
First three witches?
Hmm. You said she threw
fireballs, right?
It was like this, Velma.
But a thousand times worse.
Is this the street
she chased you down?
'Like, don't remind us.'
Hey, check out these branches.
'They were all broken
from the tops of these trees.'
'And in a
perfectly straight line.'
This is getting interesting,
Ben.
Raggy!
Like, not again!
What is that?
Let's go see.
Yikes.
Hit it, sisters!
Zoinks!
It's the witches!
Easy, guys.
It's just the Hex Girls.
I'm gonna cast a spell
on you
You're gonna do
what I want you to
Mix it up here
in my little bowl
Say a few words and you'll
lose control
I'm a Hex Girl
And I'm gonna
put a spell on you
I'm gonna put a spell on you
I'm a Hex Girl
And I'm gonna
put a spell on you
Put a spell on you
You'll feel the fog
as I cloud your mind
You'll get dizzy
when I make the sign
You'll wake up
in the dead of night
Missing me
when I'm out of sight
I'm a Hex Girl
And I'm gonna
put a spell on you
I'm gonna put a spell on you
I'm a Hex Girl
And I'm gonna
put a spell on you
Oh yeah
With this little
cobweb potion
You'll fall into
dark devotion
If you ever lose affection
I can change your whole
direction
I'm a Hex Girl
And I'm gonna
put a spell on you
I'm gonna
put a spell on you
I'm a Hex Girl
And I'm gonna
put a spell on you
We're gonna put a spell
on all of you
boom
Bravo! Bravo!
Thanks. What are you doing here?
The concert's tomorrow.
Hey, wait a minute.
Aren't you Ben Ravencroft?
Ha-ha-ha. Why?
You're not going to bite me,
are you?
Cool.
I've always wanted to meet you.
You're like one of us.
Yeah.
You understand what we're into.
Hi.
- Hello!
- Hello!
That's quite an act, miss, uh..
Thorn. This is Dusk and Luna.
We're eco-goths.
- Eco-goths?
- Eco-goths?
And we don't need your approval.
Gee, all those explosions
at the end
were pretty mystifying,
eh, Velma?
Yeah, very mystifying.
So, where are you girls from?
Oakhaven,
but we won't be here for long.
We're close to cutting
our first CD.
Well, it's been killer meeting
you.
Same here.
But we got to get back
to our rehearsal.
Those Hex Girls
seem kind of suspicious.
I'll say.
Daph and I should keep an eye on
them.
Gee, why is it that you always
pair off with Daphne, Fred?
Uh, well...
Never mind. It's a good idea.
You two stay here.
I want to take another look at
where the guys saw that ghost.
Come on.
Hmm. Let's take a look behind
these trees.
What are all these tire tracks
doing back here?
Strange. The road's back there.
Right. Let's see where these
tracks lead.
Like, can't we follow them
tomorrow?
Like, after breakfast?
'I guess not.'
Aah.
- Ugh!
- Ooh?
Shh!
'Jinkies! It's the mayor.'
'What's he doing here?'
I don't know, but we're going to
find out what's in that barn.
Scooby and Shaggy will follow
the mayor.
- We will?
- Fine.
Then you search the barn
and we'll follow the mayor.
On second thought,
we'll take the mayor.
He'll never know we're on his
tail, eh, Scoob?
Yeah.
- Ugh!
- Oops!
- 'S-sorry, Scoob.'
- Oh!
Yee-aah.
There's got to be
another way in here.
So, Freddy,
why do you always pair us up?
Uh, well, I thought about that
for the longest time
and there's never been a good
time to tell you.
Maybe it's time that I..
Well, that I..
Hey, here they come.
I think we're going to need to
perform our ritual, girls.
Not tonight, Thorn.
My powers are weak from
rehearsing.
Mine, too.
How about tomorrow,
just before the concert?
Never mind. I'll do it myself.
See you in the morning.
Bad dreams, sisters.
- Bad dreams, sister Thorn.
- Bad dreams, sister Thorn.
Did you hear that, Daph?
Those girls have something to do
with this ghost, I'm sure of it.
'Thorn seems like
the leader. Let's follow her.'
Are you sure you're not just
stuck on Thorn, Freddy?
Ah, just a little higher.
I can't.
That's great.
Wonderful.
I'm in.
Velma, are you okay?
'Fine.'
Come on.
This mayor's one busy guy.
Yeah.
Okay, Willard,
you take it easy now.
Ah, young love.
Hmm, it's still warm, Ben.
But who would be driving it this
late at night?
That's the mystery.
What's she up to?
If I didn't know better
I'd say she was a witch.
Like, he won't
ditch us that easily, Scoob.
Shh.
Yeah. Shh.
Like, where do you think
he went, Scoob?
I don't know.
How dare you disturb my resting
place?
- Aah!
- Yike!
This town will pay!
Send them a bill,
but leave us alone!
- Aah!
- Ha-ha-ha!
- Yeow!
- Help!
No!
Oh, I can't see a thing
without my glasses.
Oh, me, either.
- Oh, sorry.
- Oh, sorry.
- Sorry.
- Sorry.
Hey, what's going on?
Ask Scooby and Shaggy.
- Where are they?
- That's no mystery.
So what happened, guys?
Like, we followed the mayor
to some warehouse
and that ghost attacked us.
He did? There goes my cherry
picker theory.
Cherry picker theory?
Wait till you hear what we saw
at Thorn's place.
Hey, like, we were reporting
first.
- Right, Scoob?
- Yeah.
The mayor's one busy guy,
picking things up..
Aah! And dropping things off.
Like what?
'What is going on here?'
What's the big idea
running over me?
As you can see, there's nothing
here except a damaged wall.
Sorry about that, mayor.
Scooby and Shaggy just lose it
when they get scared.
In fact, I'm worried that
staying in Oakhaven
might just be too frightening an
experience for them.
I think we should leave.
- Huh?
- Really?
Well, I'm sorry to hear that.
But I need to get one more clue
before the night is over.
Then I think
I can solve the mystery
of the witch's ghost before
tomorrow's autumn fest.
Oh, great.
I-I'll do anything
I can to help.
Like, I should have known
leaving wasn't an option.
What was that all about, Velma?
You've got a plan, right?
Here's what we're going to do.
Fred, you're going to go to..
Hey.
Rorry.
Like, why'd you stop, old buddy?
No one touches my keyboard.
Hoo!
Thanks for coming, girls.
We should all be home, resting
for the concert tomorrow.
We only came because
Ben asked us to.
Hey, I'm just following orders.
Well, what do you want?
- Yikes!
- Yikes!
Ha-ha, die!
The town must pay
for its foul deed!
Yow!
Help me!
I've fallen and I can't get up.
- Yikes!
- Yikes!
Now!
Yes!
You did it, guys.
Okay, let's see
who's behind all this.
Like, it's the T-shirt guy.
Mr. McKnight, the pharmacist?
Daddy?
Hello, Sally.
Your dad's the ghost?
Your name is Sally?
I don't believe this, daddy.
Why would you do something like
this?
You mean you didn't know?
The girls have nothing to do
with this.
What in the world is going on
this evening?
Is that you, McKnight?
Maybe I can explain.
I found flash powder residue
where Shag and Scoob
saw the ghost.
This is a device to throw
the fireballs
'which are just
wads of flash paper.'
'He got it from
his daughter's stage props.'
Ooh!
'Like, what's that?'
'It's the cherry
picker that made the ghost fly'
'above the trees with the use of
an extension device.'
'And there is the fan that
created the eerie wind.'
It took more than one person
to pull off this scam.
Isn't that right, Jack?
- Oh!
- Zoinks!
It would take someone
pretty strong
to hoist Mr. McKnight around.
Like, you should have been
making pot roast
instead of cooking up trouble.
That goes for all of you.
- All of you?
- 'Sure.'
'There had to be more people
involved'
'to make this hoax work.'
Well, I, for one, am totally
shocked by this deception.
'You can stop
the charade now, mayor'
because you're the one
who made me suspicious
from the beginning.
I-I..
I'm very disappointed in you,
mayor
and all of you,
for lining your pockets
'by dragging Sarah Ravencroft's
name through the mud.'
'So she was a real Wiccan?'
- That's right.
- Oh, so cool.
She's beautiful.
Yes, I think so, too.
And that's why I get upset
when people accuse her
of being a witch.
Ah, I think I owe you girls
an apology
for thinking you were, well,
uh..
Witches.
We saw you perform some kind of
ritual in your shed.
Witches?
We just pretend that stuff.
It's just a gimmick
for our band.
We're eco-goths,
kind of like Wiccans.
Just ask Thorn, she is one.
Yeah, right.
Sally McKnight, one-sixteenth
blood on my mother's side.
And that ritual you saw
was just peppermint and cloves
to soothe my vocal chords.
You think it's easy
singing this stuff?
Thorn's herbal vapor's awesome.
We all use it before
and after every show.
But what about your fangs?
My dad's a dentist.
He outfitted the band.
Rrikes!
Like, we knew it all along.
Ha-ha! Right, Scoob?
Yikes!
Oh!
Mayor?
We've been ringing your doorbell
for some time and...
Oh, sorry about that.
I've been meaning to fix that
thing for years.
What's up, mayor?
Well, Ben,
I feel real bad about everythin'
and I wanted to apologize
for using your ancestor
in our little publicity stunt.
Yeah, the tourist trade was so
slow. We were desperate.
Right, and-and you once told me
that supernatural phenomena
always attracts people.
It was just natural to use Sarah
because..
...we accidentally
dug up her grave.
What grave?
I'm sorry, Ben, but, you see,
I lied to you
when you asked me if we found
anything of Sarah's
while we were building
the Puritan village.
We did. It was her grave marker.
We found it in a bulldozed pile
of dirt and rocks.
We didn't want to upset you.
But that's all we found.
Hah, no bones.
No book?
Nothing but that grave marker.
We swear, Ben.
We don't even know
where her grave is.
It's true, it could be anywhere
between Miller's Creek
and the big tree stump.
Shaggy, do you still have that
little shoe buckle Scooby
found today?
Why, this one? Here.
Scooby, can you show me exactly
where you found this?
I think so.
There.
All these years I was searching
around the wrong oak tree.
Right.
I believe this is what's left
of the tree
where Sarah did her healing.
You never even noticed it
because it was cut down
hundreds of years ago.
You gotta dig deeper, Scooby.
Unh-uh.
How about for a Scooby snack?
Unh-uh. No way.
Two Scooby Snax?
Okay.
- Ah!
- Hey!
What did you find?
'Brocks!'
Rocks?
'A box.'
Ben, are you okay?
Just a little excited.
Looks kind of evil
to belong to a Wiccan healer.
Ben, that doesn't seem to be
a journal at all.
Because it isn't, Velma.
It's a spell book.
You see, Sarah wasn't a Wiccan.
She was indeed a witch.
A real witch?
Heavy.
And since Sarah's blood
runs in my veins
I guess that makes me a warlock.
Warlock?
The Wiccans imprisoned Sarah
in her own spell book
and you helped me find it.
You lied to me, Ben.
Well, gee, I had to.
I've been searching for years.
Then I read about your exploits.
I knew if anyone
could help me find the book
it was you and your friends.
I orchestrated
the whole mummy scheme
paying off the archaeologists
and the security guards
just to lure you to the museum
so we could meet.
Yes, Velma
I tricked you into helping me,
and it worked.
And you were in on Ben's plan,
too.
Uh, no, we're as surprised as
you are. H-honest.
'For once
he's telling the truth.'
That stupid fake ghost
was the town's idea
but it didwork to my advantage.
Why go through this
elaborate scheme?
Why not just ask us
to find the book?
I know why.
Because if we knew
what that book was
we would never have helped him.
But even you can't imagine
the real power of this book.
No mere mortal can.
You've been reading
too many of your own
horror stories, Ravencroft.
A typical mortal response
but I am descended
from a superior breed.
'I shall unlock the power'
'of the imprisoned
Sarah Ravencroft!'
Like, I don't like
the sound of this.
Me neither.
Together, we shall
reign supreme!
"Let the evil from the past
breathe again
with fiery blast."
No!
'"Let the dark
wind whip the night'
to blow away
the force of light."
Like, I know
what comes next, buddy.
Big trouble.
Yikes!
"Now I summon ancient power."
Ben, please stop!
"This is evil's finest hour!"
No!
What's the matter, Velma?
Don't you like the new,
improved Ben Ravencroft?
No, frankly, I don't.
Well, get used to it.
'Leaving so soon?'
The party's just beginning!
Let us out!
Daddy!
Oh, how deeply moving.
Hey!
Can I spin a yarn or what?
How could I have ever
liked your novels?
Now, guys, grab the book!
Huh?
- Gotcha!
- Ah!
- Where'd he go?
- I don't know.
This isn't one of your
silly little mysteries.
You can't solve me so easily.
You won't get away with this,
Ben Ravencroft.
Why? Because of you
meddling kids?
Hey, we're not kids!
But enough of this minor magic.
I want to see how powerful
I can really be.
It's time to summon
Sarah Ravencroft.
'"Dreadful darkness,
hear my cry.'
Bring back one
who cannot die."
What?
Are we ever glad to see you.
Nice going, guys.
Like, we're going, alright,
away from Witchville.
We gotta go back for the book.
Book? Can't we just wait
for the movie?
Ah!
You're the man, Scoob!
Ruh-huh.
Ah, no!
Not the gift shop!
Yuck!
Like, I think I'm starting
to get the hang of this.
Rook out!
- Phew!
- Phew!
Phew!
Well, at least
we still have one tire.
Oh..
I'll take that.
Now, where was I?
"Dreadful darkness, hear my cry.
"Bring back one who cannot die.
'"Let the witch
who perished here'
live again and reappear!"
Yah!
In my wildest dreams
I could never have imagined
such an imposing creature.
Thank thee.
Thou canst not know
what my bondage hath been like.
Who art thou?
Ben Ravencroft
your descendant
from the modern world.
Modern?
'Not much seems
to have changed.'
Please, don't hurt us!
The same pathetic peasants
groveling for their puny lives.
But..
...Sarah, I want to become
more powerful like you.
Thou jest.
But it was I who released you.
You should serve me.
I serve no one
leastwise a worm like thee.
Aye, thou hast freed me
so now I can punish the world
for my long imprisonment.
'I shall create an
era of darkness over this land.'
L-like, we're goner, Scoob.
This isn't what I envisioned.
We were supposed
to rule the world together
not destroy it.
I care not for thy whims.
Cross my path
and I shall destroy thee
along with thy world.
But I have the book
and I will return you back
into the book.
"Ancient evil, get thee hence.
Only good can recompense
all that's good.."
Thinkest thou art a Wiccan?
'Only a virtuous soul
can imprison me.'
Let me out!
I've got an idea, guys
but we still need that book.
Like, not again.
I'm sorry, guys,
but you two are the fastest.
No way.
Unh-unh.
Don't worry, we'll create
a diversion for you.
Ro way!
How about for a whole box
of Scooby Snax?
A whole box?
Good luck.
Hey, broom rider!
Over here!
Thou shall pay
for thine impudence!
Huh?
Guess snack time's over.
Yeah.
Four hundred years
hasn't helped your aim, lady!
Thine mockery shall be thy last!
Jinkies.
No! No, let me out!
- No! No! No!
- Zoinks.
Like, this is almost too easy.
The book cannot help thee.
Huh?
Do my bidding, bird!
Get them!
A turkey?
Even we're not scared of that.
Like, now we are!
Yikes!
Yikes!
Daphne!
Don't worry!
Help!
Jinkies!
Hey!
Yikes!
Gobble, gobble, gobble.
I believe thou hast
something that is mine.
Gobble, gobble, gobble.
Like, got the stuffing, Scoob?
- Rreah.
- Time to baste this bird.
I guess he didn't have
the right stuff, old buddy.
Hey! Wait for me, Scoob!
Hurry!
- Thanks.
- I am outta here.
Yeah. That witch
is the real thing.
Wait, Thorn!
We need your help.
Me? what can I do?
We need you to read that spell
to defeat Sarah Ravencroft.
Are you crazy?
I told you!
I'm not really a witch!
I can't help you against her.
But you said you were
part Wiccan, right?
Only one-sixteenth.
Doesn't matter.
You still have Wiccan blood
which means only you can
read the spell
that will send
Sarah Ravencroft back
to where she came from.
Forget it.
You don't even have the book.
No, Scooby does.
Scooby, over here!
Give me my book, meddling hound!
Round? Where?
Zoinks!
Let my buddy go,
ya creepy crumb!
What was that?
You're not melting.
Like, it worked
in "The Wizard Of Oz."
Fool!
I shall destroy thee!
Ah!
Raggy!
'Run!'
The book! The book!
I'll hold that for ya.
Yah!
Bring me the book!
Ah! Scoob!
Enough!
Ripes.
Daphne!
Ah!
Freddy!
Velma!
Here's the spell.
It's up to you, Thorn.
The book is useless
to a mere mortal!
But not to a Wiccan.
Nay!
I'll stop thee myself!
Hurry, Thorn! Read!
"Ancient evil, get thee hence
"only good can recompense
"for the misdeeds
that you've done
witch return
from whence you've come!"
Thorn, it's working.
Whoop!
Zoinks!
No!
Not again!
Yah!
No!
I won't go back alone!
No!
Ah!
No!
'Ben Ravencroft's last book'
is one the world will never buy.
Thank goodness.
But, like, it would have been
a hot best-seller.
Oh..
Daddy!
Are you okay?
You're the one
I was worried about, honey
but you did it!
I guess you area witch
after all.
A Wiccan, daddy.
A Wiccan.
This is a disaster!
No witch! No village!
What are we gonna do
for our Autumn fest?
Well, you still
have the Hex Girls.
Oh, no offense, girls
but I think we need
a bigger attraction.
Ah, mayor..

Early
man's struggle for survival
was a harsh one.
Threats to his existence were

I really must switch to decaf.
Fortunately, man had his

to help him survive.
It is with the use of tools
that humans learned to overcome
their savage enemies.
Please move to the next exhibit.

Aah!

Aah!

Like, stay right there.

Yeah.

We need some help

a Scooby snack
That's a fact
Scooby-Dooby-Doo
here are you
You're ready
and you're willing
If we can count on you
Scooby-Doo
I know we'll catch that
villain
Nice going, guys.
You caught 'em.
Uh, right. No problem, Freddy.
'But, like,
we had a little help.'
Who are you?
I don't believe it.
You're Ben Ravencroft,
the famous horror writer.
That's right.
And let's see who they are.
It's Perkins.
And Griswold
disgruntled archeologists
'from the museum's Babylonian
project.'
'They were upset with you'
'for cutting their funding,
Dr. Dean.'
And we would've gotten away
with it, too
if it wasn't for this
meddling... writer!
Like, that's a twist.
Yeah. Well, at least he didn't
call us kids. I hate that.
Guess you beat us to the punch,
Mr. Ravencroft.
Sorry.
I didn't mean to upstage you.
So what were you doing here?
I was doing research
on my latest novel
when I saw the archaeologists
acting suspiciously
and decided to investigate.
Mr. Ravencroft,
I am a huge fan of your work.
I have read all your books,
which, in my opinion
are the best horror stories
ever written.
Um, thanks, Velma.
You know my name?
And Daphne's and Fred's.
And Scooby
and Shaggy, of course.
I've admired your work
unraveling supernatural
mysteries
for some time now.
I mean, basically we're
in the same business
of mystery and the occult,
right?
Oh, please.
What we do pales in comparison
with the sheer palpable fright
of your novels.
I wouldn't say that.
I mean, take "The Dead Mall" for
example.
Oh, that creepy jewelry store
owner
with an incredibly complex
character.
You're very kind.
Listen, Velma,
I'm going back to my hometown
in Massachusetts this weekend
to the house where I wrote
my early books.
I go back every year
for the fall color.
It's very peaceful and relaxing.
Why don't you and your friends
come visit?
Really? Oh, that would be great.
- Uh, uh, wouldn't it, gang?
- Yeah!
We could use a break from all
these spooky mysteries.
And Oakhaven does have
one of the best restaurants
in New England.
Like, we're sold, eh, Scoob?
Yeah.
Wow! This color is spectacular,
eh, guys?
- Amazing.
- Yeah!
'Like, don't
forget me, old buddy.'
'And that scene at the end'
where the caretaker's flesh
dissolved
was so brilliant, I...
Oh, look, we're here.
Already?
Welcome to Oakhaven.
What?
I thought you said this was a
quiet little town.
- It was.
- Wow!
'This is a pretty popular spot.'
Sure, we always get a few leaf
peepers but never like this.
This is a... circus.
Oh, there's the mayor.
He'll know what's going on.
Like, maybe he'll know a place
to eat.
Yeah.
Welcome to old Oakhaven.
Have a wonderful time!
Ha-ha-ha!
So glad you could come.
'Mayor! Mayor Corey!'
Ben, my boy!
I'm glad you could come home
to see this.
And I see you brought
some friends and their dog.
Dog? Where?
Ha-ha! Welcome!
The more the merrier.
But what is all this?
It's great, isn't it?
Business is booming!
Not like a few months ago
when it was slower
than maple syrup on a cold day.
Hey, Ben!
- Hi, Mr. McKnight.
- Welcome home.
Here. Have a T-shirt before my
store sells out.
You can wear it
to the concert tomorrow.
- Concert?
- The Hex Girls.
You've heard of them, Fred?
Just now.
'"Oakhaven Autumn Fest.'
'Featuring the Hex Girls."'
A local group. You'll like 'em.
Kinda spooky.
"I met the ghost
of Oakhaven and lived?"
- Ghost?
- Ghost?
Jinkies!
Looks like there's a ghost
in your own back yard, Ben.
Not only that,
but it's his own ancestor
the ghost of Sarah Ravencroft.
That's ridiculous!
I thought we'd gotten past
all this witch nonsense.
What can I say, Ben?
Ever since we built
our puritan village
her ghost has appeared
many times.
Don't tell me.
You disturbed her spirit
with the construction..
And now she's haunting the town.
Uh, h-how did you know?
Ghost hunting's our specialty.
Oh, I see.
Did you say Puritan village?
- Ooh!
- Ooh!
'What you're
seeing is a perfect recreation'
of what life was like back
in the 1600s
as reenacted by our locals.
'When did all this go up?'
'About six months ago.'
'This is amazing, mayor!'
Oh! Corn husk dolls!
Aren't they cute, Fred?
Yeah. Charming.
Look, Scoob,
I've been a ba-a-a-d boy.
- Wouldst thou like to churn?
- Huh?
Like, it's your
turn to churn the butter, old buddy.
Uh-huh.
Ooh!
Now all we need is the popcorn.
So you say a ghost has been
appearing here?
I, uh, that's right, young lady.
Apparently we disturbed
the spirit of Ben's ancestor
who was persecuted as a witch
way back in 1657.
Unjustly persecuted.
Sarah Ravencroft
was a medicine woman
who practiced natural healing
and was unfairly accused because
of her eccentric ways!
Just like the Salem Witch
Trials.
Many men and women
who were a bit different
or didn't conform to the codes
of the colony
'suffered the same fate.'
Sarah was a healer.
It was said
she even kept a journal
of all the patients she cured
with her herbal remedies.
Look, Raggy.
It's a perfect fit, Scoob.
Yeah.
Ooh!
Huh?
Ow! Ooh!
Grrrr!
Easy, Scoob!
Like, what you got there,
old buddy?
- I don't know.
- I wonder what this is.
Looks like you've found an old
shoe buckle, my boy.
'Probably over 400 years old!'
Cool.
There. Like, look for another
one, Scoob
so I can have a matching pair.
Okay.
I, uh, we found all sorts of
items from the old colony
when we cleared this area
for construction.
Hand-made nails, horseshoes,
farm equipment.
- How about a book?
- A book?
You know how long I've been
searching for Sarah's journal
to officially clear our family
name?
Sorry, Ben. Nothing like that.
So what makes you think
it's Sarah's ghost
haunting this place?
Because the ghost said so.
Maybe you'll see her tonight.
- Oh, boy.
- You never know, Fred.
Hey! We'd like to see
a Puritan pizza joint.
- We're starved!
- Yeah!
Ha-ha-ha! Don't worry, boys.
We've got the best restaurant
in all New England.
It's back in town.
I'll walk you there.
Do you kids want to go?
Or would you like
to see my studio?
Wow! Would we ever!
Shaggy,
we'll meet up with you later.
Mayor, tell Jack that anything
they order is on me.
Zoinks! Like, what a great guy!
Yeah, great!
Oh, you're
gonna regret that offer, Ben.
- Ahh!
- Ahh!
Jack's gonna take good care
of you boys.
'You're gonna love his cooking.'
Like, I'm sure we will,
Your Honor.
Enjoy your stay at Oakhaven.
- Thanks, your dudeness.
- Oh!
Well, boys, are you hungry?
Man, are we ever!
Come on over here to the back.
I always have a table open
for VIPs.
- Groovy! Come on, Scoob!
- Oh!
You're Mr. Ravencroft's guests
so order up anything
on the menu, boys.
I've got a nice juicy hambone
for your dog.
What do you think?
Rone? Ruck!
Scooby's allergic to bones.
We'll have whatever that great
smell is.
Well, that's our Yankeepot roast
New England clam chowder
maple-baked ham and beans
roast turkey
with chestnut stuffing
and apple cinnamon pie!
Sounds great!
Like, give us two orders of
everything.
Oh, I love
people who love to eat.
'Wow! So this
is where it all started.'
Yes. I wrote all of my early
novels here.
Now I spend most of my time
in Europe
but I come back once a year to
recharge my batteries.
'Go ahead, Velma. Sit down.'
Jinkies!
This is a dream come true.
You have some cool things here,
Ben.
I'll say!
So whose portrait is this?
This is Sarah Ravencroft.
'I think it was painted
by a grateful patient.'
Of course,
she wasn't very popular
with the town's doctors.
Sarah was untraditional
in her approach to medicine.
She was a Wiccan.
- Say what?
- I've read about them.
Wiccans were people
who were in tune with
the forces of nature
and used them
for healing purposes.
Exactly.
She believed in using herbs
and other natural elements
to draw from the Earth's
powers to heal the sick.
Sarah helped many people
who could not afford
medical treatment.
She treated her patients
under a large oak tree
which she believed to have
healing powers.
Hey, I saw a huge oak tree like
that in the town square.
I've already searched the area
around that tree
but never found anything.
That book could finally prove
Sarah's innocence
and that she was a Wiccan,
not an evil witch.
Wiccans have been misunderstood,
accused of sorcery.
In fact, the word "witch"
comes from Wicca.
I'm impressed, Velma.
You know, doing research on
Sarah and the Wiccans
led me to read almost everything
about the world of superstition.
That's how I started writing
stories to frighten people.
I've never
seen anything like this.
Are you at least
tasting my food?
Like, it's the
best food we've ever had.
Rericious!
Ooh!
So, how's the food?
Pretty darn good.
Is there anything
left in the kitchen?
I'll be right back, boys.
I've got to make a run
to the market.
It's getting dark, guys.
Let's go see if that ghost is
going to make an appearance.
- Huh?
- Huh?
Like, we'd love to
but we haven't had
our dessert yet.
Yeah, yeah.
'Okay, but after you finish'
meet us at the Puritan village.
- Ben's already gone ahead.
- Great!
Like, if the ghost gets there
first
just start screaming without us.
Hey!
Come on.
We've been waiting here an hour.
The ghost is a no show.
Maybe she'll show up
at the concert tomorrow.
Too bad.
I was hoping to have a little
chat with my ghostly ancestor.
I wanted to ask her
where she hid her journal.
Boy, Ben seems to be pretty
obsessed with that book.
I'll say.
Well, we should all leave, too.
- Let's give it a chance, Ben.
- Yeah.
It's probably a hokey bed sheet
on a wire or something.
This could be funny.
Thanks for everything, Jack.
It was great.
Especially those last 12 pies.
'Oh. Glad you liked them.'
Boy, was that good eatin',
or what, Scoob?
Yeah!
Excuse me.
Gee, looks like everybody's
leaving.
Wonder if the ghost showed up.
Like, with no one here
this place is almost spooky,
Scoob.
Ha-ha. Ha-ha-ha.
Yeah.
Raggy.
- Girls!
- Yeah, girls!
Like, hi, girls.
Hi.
- Yikes!
- Yikes!
I think we lost them, old buddy.
And I thought there was only one
ghost witch.
Yeah!
Anyway, with all that runnin'
we worked off that big meal.
But you know,
now I'm hungry again.
Me, too!
- Yikes!
- Aah!
This town shall pay
for what it did to me!
Aah!
Yeow!
Like, it's every coward for
himself, old buddy!
What's going on, guys?
- A rhost.
- A roast?
- A witch's rhost.
- You saw the witch's ghost?
Yeah!
Ohh! Ooh!
- Can you show us where?
- Why? Do we have to?
She throws fire balls, man!
Oh, can you at least get off me
first, Freddy?
Gee, I'm sorry, Daph.
Like, down this street.
'There's no one here now.'
We thought we'd gotten away from
the first three witches
when this ghost chased us from
down there.
First three witches?
Hmm. You said she threw
fireballs, right?
It was like this, Velma.
But a thousand times worse.
Is this the street
she chased you down?
'Like, don't remind us.'
Hey, check out these branches.
'They were all broken
from the tops of these trees.'
'And in a
perfectly straight line.'
This is getting interesting,
Ben.
Raggy!
Like, not again!
What is that?
Let's go see.
Yikes.
Hit it, sisters!
Zoinks!
It's the witches!
Easy, guys.
It's just the Hex Girls.
I'm gonna cast a spell
on you
You're gonna do
what I want you to
Mix it up here
in my little bowl
Say a few words and you'll
lose control
I'm a Hex Girl
And I'm gonna
put a spell on you
I'm gonna put a spell on you
I'm a Hex Girl
And I'm gonna
put a spell on you
Put a spell on you
You'll feel the fog
as I cloud your mind
You'll get dizzy
when I make the sign
You'll wake up
in the dead of night
Missing me
when I'm out of sight
I'm a Hex Girl
And I'm gonna
put a spell on you
I'm gonna put a spell on you
I'm a Hex Girl
And I'm gonna
put a spell on you
Oh yeah
With this little
cobweb potion
You'll fall into
dark devotion
If you ever lose affection
I can change your whole
direction
I'm a Hex Girl
And I'm gonna
put a spell on you
I'm gonna
put a spell on you
I'm a Hex Girl
And I'm gonna
put a spell on you
We're gonna put a spell
on all of you
boom
Bravo! Bravo!
Thanks. What are you doing here?
The concert's tomorrow.
Hey, wait a minute.
Aren't you Ben Ravencroft?
Ha-ha-ha. Why?
You're not going to bite me,
are you?
Cool.
I've always wanted to meet you.
You're like one of us.
Yeah.
You understand what we're into.
Hi.
- Hello!
- Hello!
That's quite an act, miss, uh..
Thorn. This is Dusk and Luna.
We're eco-goths.
- Eco-goths?
- Eco-goths?
And we don't need your approval.
Gee, all those explosions
at the end
were pretty mystifying,
eh, Velma?
Yeah, very mystifying.
So, where are you girls from?
Oakhaven,
but we won't be here for long.
We're close to cutting
our first CD.
Well, it's been killer meeting
you.
Same here.
But we got to get back
to our rehearsal.
Those Hex Girls
seem kind of suspicious.
I'll say.
Daph and I should keep an eye on
them.
Gee, why is it that you always
pair off with Daphne, Fred?
Uh, well...
Never mind. It's a good idea.
You two stay here.
I want to take another look at
where the guys saw that ghost.
Come on.
Hmm. Let's take a look behind
these trees.
What are all these tire tracks
doing back here?
Strange. The road's back there.
Right. Let's see where these
tracks lead.
Like, can't we follow them
tomorrow?
Like, after breakfast?
'I guess not.'
Aah.
- Ugh!
- Ooh?
Shh!
'Jinkies! It's the mayor.'
'What's he doing here?'
I don't know, but we're going to
find out what's in that barn.
Scooby and Shaggy will follow
the mayor.
- We will?
- Fine.
Then you search the barn
and we'll follow the mayor.
On second thought,
we'll take the mayor.
He'll never know we're on his
tail, eh, Scoob?
Yeah.
- Ugh!
- Oops!
- 'S-sorry, Scoob.'
- Oh!
Yee-aah.
There's got to be
another way in here.
So, Freddy,
why do you always pair us up?
Uh, well, I thought about that
for the longest time
and there's never been a good
time to tell you.
Maybe it's time that I..
Well, that I..
Hey, here they come.
I think we're going to need to
perform our ritual, girls.
Not tonight, Thorn.
My powers are weak from
rehearsing.
Mine, too.
How about tomorrow,
just before the concert?
Never mind. I'll do it myself.
See you in the morning.
Bad dreams, sisters.
- Bad dreams, sister Thorn.
- Bad dreams, sister Thorn.
Did you hear that, Daph?
Those girls have something to do
with this ghost, I'm sure of it.
'Thorn seems like
the leader. Let's follow her.'
Are you sure you're not just
stuck on Thorn, Freddy?
Ah, just a little higher.
I can't.
That's great.
Wonderful.
I'm in.
Velma, are you okay?
'Fine.'
Come on.
This mayor's one busy guy.
Yeah.
Okay, Willard,
you take it easy now.
Ah, young love.
Hmm, it's still warm, Ben.
But who would be driving it this
late at night?
That's the mystery.
What's she up to?
If I didn't know better
I'd say she was a witch.
Like, he won't
ditch us that easily, Scoob.
Shh.
Yeah. Shh.
Like, where do you think
he went, Scoob?
I don't know.
How dare you disturb my resting
place?
- Aah!
- Yike!
This town will pay!
Send them a bill,
but leave us alone!
- Aah!
- Ha-ha-ha!
- Yeow!
- Help!
No!
Oh, I can't see a thing
without my glasses.
Oh, me, either.
- Oh, sorry.
- Oh, sorry.
- Sorry.
- Sorry.
Hey, what's going on?
Ask Scooby and Shaggy.
- Where are they?
- That's no mystery.
So what happened, guys?
Like, we followed the mayor
to some warehouse
and that ghost attacked us.
He did? There goes my cherry
picker theory.
Cherry picker theory?
Wait till you hear what we saw
at Thorn's place.
Hey, like, we were reporting
first.
- Right, Scoob?
- Yeah.
The mayor's one busy guy,
picking things up..
Aah! And dropping things off.
Like what?
'What is going on here?'
What's the big idea
running over me?
As you can see, there's nothing
here except a damaged wall.
Sorry about that, mayor.
Scooby and Shaggy just lose it
when they get scared.
In fact, I'm worried that
staying in Oakhaven
might just be too frightening an
experience for them.
I think we should leave.
- Huh?
- Really?
Well, I'm sorry to hear that.
But I need to get one more clue
before the night is over.
Then I think
I can solve the mystery
of the witch's ghost before
tomorrow's autumn fest.
Oh, great.
I-I'll do anything
I can to help.
Like, I should have known
leaving wasn't an option.
What was that all about, Velma?
You've got a plan, right?
Here's what we're going to do.
Fred, you're going to go to..
Hey.
Rorry.
Like, why'd you stop, old buddy?
No one touches my keyboard.
Hoo!
Thanks for coming, girls.
We should all be home, resting
for the concert tomorrow.
We only came because
Ben asked us to.
Hey, I'm just following orders.
Well, what do you want?
- Yikes!
- Yikes!
Ha-ha, die!
The town must pay
for its foul deed!
Yow!
Help me!
I've fallen and I can't get up.
- Yikes!
- Yikes!
Now!
Yes!
You did it, guys.
Okay, let's see
who's behind all this.
Like, it's the T-shirt guy.
Mr. McKnight, the pharmacist?
Daddy?
Hello, Sally.
Your dad's the ghost?
Your name is Sally?
I don't believe this, daddy.
Why would you do something like
this?
You mean you didn't know?
The girls have nothing to do
with this.
What in the world is going on
this evening?
Is that you, McKnight?
Maybe I can explain.
I found flash powder residue
where Shag and Scoob
saw the ghost.
This is a device to throw
the fireballs
'which are just
wads of flash paper.'
'He got it from
his daughter's stage props.'
Ooh!
'Like, what's that?'
'It's the cherry
picker that made the ghost fly'
'above the trees with the use of
an extension device.'
'And there is the fan that
created the eerie wind.'
It took more than one person
to pull off this scam.
Isn't that right, Jack?
- Oh!
- Zoinks!
It would take someone
pretty strong
to hoist Mr. McKnight around.
Like, you should have been
making pot roast
instead of cooking up trouble.
That goes for all of you.
- All of you?
- 'Sure.'
'There had to be more people
involved'
'to make this hoax work.'
Well, I, for one, am totally
shocked by this deception.
'You can stop
the charade now, mayor'
because you're the one
who made me suspicious
from the beginning.
I-I..
I'm very disappointed in you,
mayor
and all of you,
for lining your pockets
'by dragging Sarah Ravencroft's
name through the mud.'
'So she was a real Wiccan?'
- That's right.
- Oh, so cool.
She's beautiful.
Yes, I think so, too.
And that's why I get upset
when people accuse her
of being a witch.
Ah, I think I owe you girls
an apology
for thinking you were, well,
uh..
Witches.
We saw you perform some kind of
ritual in your shed.
Witches?
We just pretend that stuff.
It's just a gimmick
for our band.
We're eco-goths,
kind of like Wiccans.
Just ask Thorn, she is one.
Yeah, right.
Sally McKnight, one-sixteenth
blood on my mother's side.
And that ritual you saw
was just peppermint and cloves
to soothe my vocal chords.
You think it's easy
singing this stuff?
Thorn's herbal vapor's awesome.
We all use it before
and after every show.
But what about your fangs?
My dad's a dentist.
He outfitted the band.
Rrikes!
Like, we knew it all along.
Ha-ha! Right, Scoob?
Yikes!
Oh!
Mayor?
We've been ringing your doorbell
for some time and...
Oh, sorry about that.
I've been meaning to fix that
thing for years.
What's up, mayor?
Well, Ben,
I feel real bad about everythin'
and I wanted to apologize
for using your ancestor
in our little publicity stunt.
Yeah, the tourist trade was so
slow. We were desperate.
Right, and-and you once told me
that supernatural phenomena
always attracts people.
It was just natural to use Sarah
because..
...we accidentally
dug up her grave.
What grave?
I'm sorry, Ben, but, you see,
I lied to you
when you asked me if we found
anything of Sarah's
while we were building
the Puritan village.
We did. It was her grave marker.
We found it in a bulldozed pile
of dirt and rocks.
We didn't want to upset you.
But that's all we found.
Hah, no bones.
No book?
Nothing but that grave marker.
We swear, Ben.
We don't even know
where her grave is.
It's true, it could be anywhere
between Miller's Creek
and the big tree stump.
Shaggy, do you still have that
little shoe buckle Scooby
found today?
Why, this one? Here.
Scooby, can you show me exactly
where you found this?
I think so.
There.
All these years I was searching
around the wrong oak tree.
Right.
I believe this is what's left
of the tree
where Sarah did her healing.
You never even noticed it
because it was cut down
hundreds of years ago.
You gotta dig deeper, Scooby.
Unh-uh.
How about for a Scooby snack?
Unh-uh. No way.
Two Scooby Snax?
Okay.
- Ah!
- Hey!
What did you find?
'Brocks!'
Rocks?
'A box.'
Ben, are you okay?
Just a little excited.
Looks kind of evil
to belong to a Wiccan healer.
Ben, that doesn't seem to be
a journal at all.
Because it isn't, Velma.
It's a spell book.
You see, Sarah wasn't a Wiccan.
She was indeed a witch.
A real witch?
Heavy.
And since Sarah's blood
runs in my veins
I guess that makes me a warlock.
Warlock?
The Wiccans imprisoned Sarah
in her own spell book
and you helped me find it.
You lied to me, Ben.
Well, gee, I had to.
I've been searching for years.
Then I read about your exploits.
I knew if anyone
could help me find the book
it was you and your friends.
I orchestrated
the whole mummy scheme
paying off the archaeologists
and the security guards
just to lure you to the museum
so we could meet.
Yes, Velma
I tricked you into helping me,
and it worked.
And you were in on Ben's plan,
too.
Uh, no, we're as surprised as
you are. H-honest.
'For once
he's telling the truth.'
That stupid fake ghost
was the town's idea
but it didwork to my advantage.
Why go through this
elaborate scheme?
Why not just ask us
to find the book?
I know why.
Because if we knew
what that book was
we would never have helped him.
But even you can't imagine
the real power of this book.
No mere mortal can.
You've been reading
too many of your own
horror stories, Ravencroft.
A typical mortal response
but I am descended
from a superior breed.
'I shall unlock the power'
'of the imprisoned
Sarah Ravencroft!'
Like, I don't like
the sound of this.
Me neither.
Together, we shall
reign supreme!
"Let the evil from the past
breathe again
with fiery blast."
No!
'"Let the dark
wind whip the night'
to blow away
the force of light."
Like, I know
what comes next, buddy.
Big trouble.
Yikes!
"Now I summon ancient power."
Ben, please stop!
"This is evil's finest hour!"
No!
What's the matter, Velma?
Don't you like the new,
improved Ben Ravencroft?
No, frankly, I don't.
Well, get used to it.
'Leaving so soon?'
The party's just beginning!
Let us out!
Daddy!
Oh, how deeply moving.
Hey!
Can I spin a yarn or what?
How could I have ever
liked your novels?
Now, guys, grab the book!
Huh?
- Gotcha!
- Ah!
- Where'd he go?
- I don't know.
This isn't one of your
silly little mysteries.
You can't solve me so easily.
You won't get away with this,
Ben Ravencroft.
Why? Because of you
meddling kids?
Hey, we're not kids!
But enough of this minor magic.
I want to see how powerful
I can really be.
It's time to summon
Sarah Ravencroft.
'"Dreadful darkness,
hear my cry.'
Bring back one
who cannot die."
What?
Are we ever glad to see you.
Nice going, guys.
Like, we're going, alright,
away from Witchville.
We gotta go back for the book.
Book? Can't we just wait
for the movie?
Ah!
You're the man, Scoob!
Ruh-huh.
Ah, no!
Not the gift shop!
Yuck!
Like, I think I'm starting
to get the hang of this.
Rook out!
- Phew!
- Phew!
Phew!
Well, at least
we still have one tire.
Oh..
I'll take that.
Now, where was I?
"Dreadful darkness, hear my cry.
"Bring back one who cannot die.
'"Let the witch
who perished here'
live again and reappear!"
Yah!
In my wildest dreams
I could never have imagined
such an imposing creature.
Thank thee.
Thou canst not know
what my bondage hath been like.
Who art thou?
Ben Ravencroft
your descendant
from the modern world.
Modern?
'Not much seems
to have changed.'
Please, don't hurt us!
The same pathetic peasants
groveling for their puny lives.
But..
...Sarah, I want to become
more powerful like you.
Thou jest.
But it was I who released you.
You should serve me.
I serve no one
leastwise a worm like thee.
Aye, thou hast freed me
so now I can punish the world
for my long imprisonment.
'I shall create an
era of darkness over this land.'
L-like, we're goner, Scoob.
This isn't what I envisioned.
We were supposed
to rule the world together
not destroy it.
I care not for thy whims.
Cross my path
and I shall destroy thee
along with thy world.
But I have the book
and I will return you back
into the book.
"Ancient evil, get thee hence.
Only good can recompense
all that's good.."
Thinkest thou art a Wiccan?
'Only a virtuous soul
can imprison me.'
Let me out!
I've got an idea, guys
but we still need that book.
Like, not again.
I'm sorry, guys,
but you two are the fastest.
No way.
Unh-unh.
Don't worry, we'll create
a diversion for you.
Ro way!
How about for a whole box
of Scooby Snax?
A whole box?
Good luck.
Hey, broom rider!
Over here!
Thou shall pay
for thine impudence!
Huh?
Guess snack time's over.
Yeah.
Four hundred years
hasn't helped your aim, lady!
Thine mockery shall be thy last!
Jinkies.
No! No, let me out!
- No! No! No!
- Zoinks.
Like, this is almost too easy.
The book cannot help thee.
Huh?
Do my bidding, bird!
Get them!
A turkey?
Even we're not scared of that.
Like, now we are!
Yikes!
Yikes!
Daphne!
Don't worry!
Help!
Jinkies!
Hey!
Yikes!
Gobble, gobble, gobble.
I believe thou hast
something that is mine.
Gobble, gobble, gobble.
Like, got the stuffing, Scoob?
- Rreah.
- Time to baste this bird.
I guess he didn't have
the right stuff, old buddy.
Hey! Wait for me, Scoob!
Hurry!
- Thanks.
- I am outta here.
Yeah. That witch
is the real thing.
Wait, Thorn!
We need your help.
Me? what can I do?
We need you to read that spell
to defeat Sarah Ravencroft.
Are you crazy?
I told you!
I'm not really a witch!
I can't help you against her.
But you said you were
part Wiccan, right?
Only one-sixteenth.
Doesn't matter.
You still have Wiccan blood
which means only you can
read the spell
that will send
Sarah Ravencroft back
to where she came from.
Forget it.
You don't even have the book.
No, Scooby does.
Scooby, over here!
Give me my book, meddling hound!
Round? Where?
Zoinks!
Let my buddy go,
ya creepy crumb!
What was that?
You're not melting.
Like, it worked
in "The Wizard Of Oz."
Fool!
I shall destroy thee!
Ah!
Raggy!
'Run!'
The book! The book!
I'll hold that for ya.
Yah!
Bring me the book!
Ah! Scoob!
Enough!
Ripes.
Daphne!
Ah!
Freddy!
Velma!
Here's the spell.
It's up to you, Thorn.
The book is useless
to a mere mortal!
But not to a Wiccan.
Nay!
I'll stop thee myself!
Hurry, Thorn! Read!
"Ancient evil, get thee hence
"only good can recompense
"for the misdeeds
that you've done
witch return
from whence you've come!"
Thorn, it's working.
Whoop!
Zoinks!
No!
Not again!
Yah!
No!
I won't go back alone!
No!
Ah!
No!
'Ben Ravencroft's last book'
is one the world will never buy.
Thank goodness.
But, like, it would have been
a hot best-seller.
Oh..
Daddy!
Are you okay?
You're the one
I was worried about, honey
but you did it!
I guess you area witch
after all.
A Wiccan, daddy.
A Wiccan.
This is a disaster!
No witch! No village!
What are we gonna do
for our Autumn fest?
Well, you still
have the Hex Girls.
Oh, no offense, girls
but I think we need
a bigger attraction.
Ah, mayor..
Earth wind fire and air
We may look bad
but we don't care
We ride the wind
we feel the fire
To love the Earth
is our desire
To love the Earth
is our desire
Love the Earth
it's only fair
It's one big Earth
and we must share
We love the Earth
with all our fire
It's in our souls
our one desire
Earth wind fire and air
We may look bad
but we don't care
We ride the wind
we feel the fire
To love the Earth
is our desire
To love the Earth
is our desire
Nature is a precious gift
It will make
your spirits lift
Love the Earth
with all your fire
It's in your soul
your one desire
Earth wind fire and air
We may look bad
but we don't care
We ride the wind
we feel the fire
To love the Earth
is our desire
To love the Earth
Is our desire
Scooby-Dooby-Doo!
We've got a ghost problem
I can feel it in my bones
We've got a ghost problem
I don't think
that we're alone
I can feel a cold chill
Runnin' up my spine
I can feel a cold hand
And it isn't mine
It's the witch's ghost
She's what we fear the most
It's the witch's ghost
If she catches us
we're toast
There's nothin' worse
Than her curse
The witch's ghost
Is on the loose
We got a ghost problem
And the answer's in my book
A witch's ghost problem
She can cook you
with one look
She's a wicked banshee
Flyin' through the sky
She can make you shiver
With her evil
ey-ya-ey-ya eye
It's the witch's ghost
She's what we fear the most
It's the witch's ghost
If she catches us
we're toast
Her fire burns
She has returned
The witch's ghost
Is on the loose
She has appeared
She's getting near
She's almost here
It's the witch's ghost
She's what we fear the most
It's the witch's ghost
If she catches us
we're toast
We've got a problem
We've got a problem
We've got a problem
We've got a problem
We've got a problem
We've got a problem
We've got a problem
