Trick or Treat Scooby-Doo! (2022) Movie Script
1
Whoo-hoo! Whoo-hoo!
Whoo-hoo! Whoo-hoo! Whoo-hoo!
[shouting]
Whoo-hoo! Whoo-hoo!
Whoo-hoo! Whoo-hoo!
Whoo-hoo! Whoo-hoo! Whoo-hoo!
[choking] Whoa!
[both yelling]
[growling]
[both yelling]
Ruh-roh!
Um, is that,
like, a good "ruh-roh"
or a bad "ruh-roh"?
[Cat Man growls]
Never mind! I figured it out!
[screaming]
[both shouting] Whoa! Whoo-hoo!
[both screaming]
[screams]
[growling]
Here they come.
Everything's in place.
Everyone ready?
[people shouting]
Ready.
Set.
[both yelling] No!
[Cat Man growling]
[growls]
[screaming]
-[Cat Man growls]
-[Shaggy] Whoa!
[growls]
[Shaggy] Whoa!
There goes my rental deposit!
I hate cats.
[Cat Man growls]
-[both yelling]
-[Shaggy] Whoa!
Velma! Daphne! It's go time!
[beeping]
[yawns]
[panting]
[growls]
[growls]
[mews]
[growls]
[growling]
[mews]
[struggles]
[all cheering]
More like, Cat Man, don't!
Am I right, Scoob?
[groans]
Good show, Mystery Inc!
[slurps]
You've certainly
lived up to your
most formidable reputation.
Now let's see
who this Cat Man really is.
Actually, Inspector,
I think Ms. Cat Man
might be more accurate.
[all] Olive Khadka!
[slurps]
But why?
Your family
owns the ski resort.
Exactly.
But my father plans
to leave it all
to his new wife, Heena.
She's half his age, you know.
What do you think, Velma?
Does it match the others?
[Olive continues speaking]
Let's find out.
...creature
to scare away skiers
and force the lodge
out of business.
And I would have
gotten away with it, too,
if it weren't for...
Hey, where did
those meddling kids go?
[engine starts]
[slurps]
[Fred] Wow,
just as I suspected.
The materials used
to make the Cat Man suit
are identical
to every other costume
from the criminals
we've captured.
[Daphne] Henry Bascombe's
Space Kook suit.
[Velma] Captain Cutler's
ghost diver suit.
[Shaggy]
That freaky ghost clown,
Harry the Hypnotist. [whimpers]
[Fred] All starting
with the Black Knight,
Mr. Wickles.
[Daphne] I always thought
it was a strange coincidence
that all our cases
seemed to involve
some supernatural creature.
But it wasn't a coincidence.
These costumes
were created by one person,
a secret mastermind
hiding behind the curtain
and pulling the strings
all this time.
[all] Coco Diablo!
Happy Halloween.
I'm Coco Diablo.
I'm here for the, uh, VIP tour.
Of course you are.
Right this way.
As you can see,
we manufacture a wide variety
of popular Halloween costumes.
Classic gorilla. Silly hot dog.
Treacherous maven.
We make it all here.
Of course,
here at Diablo Costumes,
we pride ourselves
in only making safe,
family-friendly products.
Of course.
We only use
the best materials here.
None of those chintzy,
disposable synthetics
other companies rely upon.
And our costumes
are crafted by true artisans.
Excuse me, Miss Diablo.
How many times
must I tell you
not to interrupt
when I'm with a client?
But I've just completed
the prototype
for next year's
Dracula costume.
Dracula, again!
Really, Trevor,
can't you design
anything other than Dracula?
Well, I can try to, but...
Oh, my!
Try harder.
[growling]
[gasps]
That's my apprentice, Trevor.
Don't mind him.
He shows promise.
But he's always wearing
those ridiculous hats.
No offense.
Now, where were we?
I'd like to see something
a little more scary,
if you catch my drift.
Of course. Step into my office.
[whirring]
[meows]
So, who told you about me?
Olive Khadka.
Ugh. Olive, such a shame.
I deliver
state-of-the-art costumes,
and these fools
end up getting defeated
by those... [clears throat]
I appreciate the rec
nonetheless.
Let me cut to the chase.
I got the inside track
that a new highway
is about to run
through Winterhaven.
-And I--
-And you're looking to
buy up the land on the cheap
so you can
make a monstrous profit.
But first, you need a way
to scare off the competition.
Um, yeah, something like that.
I have just the thing.
Esteban.
Hmm. Looks a bit constricting.
I call it
the 10,000 Volt Ghost.
The cloth conforms
to any body type,
and you can adjust the current
to control the mind of anyone
you want
to submit to your will.
It's my greatest creation yet.
How much?
For you, it could be free...
I'm listening.
...on this one condition.
Get rid of those meddling kids
who've been destroying
all of my brilliant costumes.
[meows]
And their dumb dog, too.
That might be
a little difficult.
Oh. And why is that?
Because, like, I am
one of those meddling kids.
[gasps]
And I am their dumb dog.
-[growls]
-Whoa!
Nice work, Shaggy and Scooby.
And as promised,
here are your Scooby...
Jinkies!
[sniffs]
You've just helped us
nab the mastermind
of one of the most notorious
costume crime syndicates
in the world.
The most notorious.
But how did you kids do it?
It's simple, really, Sheriff.
You see, I had a hunch
that a lot of the cases
we've been solving lately
were somehow connected.
Scooby and Shaggy
bravely put themselves
in harm's way
time after time
to gather clues.
While Velma,
our resident science whiz,
analyzed that data,
which led us here
to Coco's factory.
-Humph.
-And Daphne,
well, she, uh... She, uh...
Uh, what was it again?
Fred, don't be silly.
You know very well
that I... I, um...
Come to think of it,
I'm not really sure what I did,
or what I ever do.
I see. Well, good work.
Yeah, yeah. Good work.
But you know what they say
about too much of a good thing.
Okay, time to go, Miss Diablo.
[Coco] Fire away, news monkeys!
All press is good press.
[sighs]
Well, gang,
another mystery solved.
And with Coco Diablo locked up,
things should be
a whole lot quieter
from now on.
Sounds groovy to me, man.
Yeah, me too.
But what if there really can be
too much of a good thing?
["Scooby-Doo,
I'm So Blue" playing]
Scooby-Dooby-Doo
This is new
Our mysteries are changing
No more ghouls and ghosts
Just helping folks
With very boring cases
Come on, Scooby-Doo
I see you
You got no shakes
No shivers
But I'm in misery
Just look at me
Wishing for some danger
I know it's good
To take a break and chill
Scooby Doo
I really miss the fun
Now there's none
And, Scooby Doo
Maybe it's true
This too much
Of a good thing
Well, it stinks
[slow music playing]
[imperceptible]
Oh, Scooby-Dooby-Doo
I'm so blue
Life used to be
So thrilling
The days of creepy capers
Seem to be through
Because we caught
That villain
[chomping]
You need any help
with that, Velma?
I'm pretty good with
whatever it is you're doing.
No, thanks. I've got a system.
Okay. Well,
if you change your mind,
I'll just... just be over here.
Just what exactly
are you hiding
in all of this, Mr. Humdrum?
Oh, please be
a fleet of ghost pirates
he wanted to use to scare
a small fishing village
into selling him their land.
Oh! [gasping] Or...
Or maybe let's just see
who you really are.
[struggling]
Hey, what are you doing?
No, stop. Stop that.
Oh, that's my face.
I can... [grunts]
Oh! [struggling] Get off...
Get off of me!
[grunts]
[groaning]
Oh, my eye. Aah! Oh!
[grunts]
Sorry, Fred,
he was inflating tax refunds
for his clients
by claiming fake deductions,
exaggerating expenses,
and falsifying home energy
improvement reports.
But that's so boring.
[sighs] Take him away, Sheriff,
or whatever.
Who cares.
Uh, not to add insult
to injury,
but we don't really
take people away
for crimes like these.
Now, Charlie,
do you promise
to pay back
what you owe?
Uh... Yes.
Okay then, that's that.
[all] Hmph.
[sighs wearily]
Hey, who ate my lunch?
You know, I'm starting to think
that maybe it was a mistake...
Don't say it, Fred.
-Don't say it was a mistake
capturing Coco Diablo.
-Capturing Coco Diablo.
Since we locked her up,
we haven't had
one interesting case.
But it's good
a criminal mastermind
is behind bars, right?
[scoffs] Yeah,
good for her maybe.
She's becoming a celebrity
in there.
Her book was a best-seller.
Velma, you bought a copy?
Oh. [chuckles nervously]
I buy every bestselling book
written by criminals
we put away.
It's a helpful way
to get insight
into the criminal mind.
And Coco's prose
is surprisingly poetic.
Huh! A lot of good
that will do us,
solving mysteries
about missing socks.
Dude, the way I see it,
fewer freaky cases
means fewer freaky ghosts
freaking us out.
Yeah!
So, let's just enjoy
this downtime, man.
I mean, dude,
tomorrow's Halloween!
-[thunder crashing]
-[screaming]
I sure hope I didn't jinx us!
[thunder crashing]
Gum drops, sugar cane
Now there is normal rain
And everything's gonna be
So, so sweet
Don't know
What I did before
I had you and over, though
Come try...
Like, wow, Scoob,
this is shaping up to be
the best Halloween haul ever.
Yeah!
[both] Trick-or-treat!
Uh, Raggy, it's ricky.
Yeah, tricky and treaty.
Our favorite candy-related
activities.
No, Raggy, I'm stuck.
-Like, where Scoob?
-Here.
-Around here?
-Uh-huh.
[Shaggy] I'll try
ringing the bell.
We'll just use our foot
as leverage.
Ooh, a raggy roor.
[sniffs]
Wait. Is this
what I think it is?
Mm, caramel!
[both] This house
is made of candy!
Gum drops, sugar cane
Now there's no more rain
And everything's gonna be
Oh, so sweet
Don't know
What I did before
I had you and over, though
Fun times nothing
I don't look for clues
I'll be close on loving you
-[explosion]
-[alarm ringing]
[both] Did you?
I did. You did, too?
Happy Halloween!
You thinking what I'm thinking?
Let's suit up!
[screaming]
[screaming]
[screaming]
-Yeah, these will work.
-Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
[horn honking]
Hey, looks like the gang
wants to get a head start
on trick-or-treating!
[both] Oh, boy.
Oh, boy. Oh, boy.
[laughs] After you, sir.
No, I insist.
[both] Aah!
[both] Happy Halloween!
[laughing maniacally]
Shaggy, Scooby, look, I know
you're excited for Halloween,
but I've had it
with these rinky-dink cases.
We need a real mystery.
But how?
And more importantly, why?
I thought about it,
and I had a great idea.
I say we take a page
out of Coco Diablo's book,
and drum up
a little publicity of our own.
Not today, though, right?
I mean, today's Halloween.
Yeah, we're pumpkins.
All right, guys, listen.
Just hear me out.
What if we set up a booth
at the Coolsville
Halloween Festival today?
The exposure
could bring us new business.
-[Scooby-Doo] Oh!
-That's your big idea?
A booth at a festival?
What's our next case?
Judging the biggest hog?
[both laughing]
Well, that's not all.
We could put out a guest book
so people can leave
their contact information,
or tell us
about mysterious occurrences
in their lives.
But... but trick-or-treating!
And candy!
[gasps]
[tires screech]
-Everything okay, Fred?
-I, uh...
I think I see my grandmother
over there.
Hi, wishing well.
Gee, I feel kind of silly
talking to a hole
in the ground, but...
[sighs] I sure do wish
we had a creepy caper again.
Well, here goes nothing.
[coin plops in water]
Like, I didn't know
Fred was so broken up
about this.
Yeah, I never thought
he'd believe in something
as crazy as a wishing well.
Must be pretty serious.
Maybe it wouldn't be
the worst thing in the world
to try his idea.
-[gasps]
-Here he comes.
Sorry about that.
It wasn't my grandma
after all. [chuckles nervously]
So now, where were we?
What?
[indistinct chatter]
Now, like, just to be clear,
the plan is
we work the festival
during the day,
and then at sundown,
-we all go out
trick-or-treating, right?
-Mm-hmm.
Of course, Shaggy.
Now, why don't you and Scooby
go work the crowd a little?
See if you can
lead some customers
over here.
And who's to say
we don't find
some succulent snackage
as well!
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!
What can I do to help?
Oh, uh...
Why don't you
put the guest book
on the table?
[sardonically] Fine.
I hope I can handle that.
Oh, I guess I can.
Oh, and maybe open it
so people are encouraged
to sign it.
Got it, Fred.
It's not rocket science.
[loudly] Detectives here!
Anybody need a detective?
Hey, Shaggy, look.
[gasps]
Oh, boy. Oh, boy. Oh, boy.
You know what?
We've been working pretty hard,
Scooby-Doo.
Like, it couldn't hurt
to stop for a healthy snack,
right?
[laughs] No, sir. Not at all.
Why is no one
visiting our table?
And just
how are we supposed
to compete with that?
[all gasp] Oh.
[indistinct chatter]
[bleats]
[groans]
Three, two, one, bob!
[eerie music playing]
[Nefario growls]
[retches]
[screaming]
Was that what I think it was?
It sure seemed like a...
[both] Ghost!
We have to tell the gang.
-[screeching]
-Hold on.
This could, like,
seriously impede our chances
of trick-or-treating.
Dude, let's say nothing.
[both whistling tune]
Hey, fellas,
any luck
finding new mysteries for us
to solve?
What? Oh, [laughs] no, no.
Not much going on, really.
Definitely no ghouls or ghosts
lurking about.
-[laughs nervously]
-[Scooby-Doo trembling]
How have things been over here?
Like, any big mysteries
come our way
while we were gone?
Uh, what's wrong with Scooby?
[whining]
My good bud, Scooby-Doo here,
is just so excited
about Halloween
he can hardly contain himself.
Ix-nay on the ost-ghay.
-[screams]
-Man!
[screaming] We saw a-a-a ghost!
-Sorry, Shaggy.
-[sighs wearily]
Oh, I get it.
You're just trying
to keep our hopes up
because we're not getting
any bites.
We'll just have to hunker down.
If we stay put,
I'm sure a new case
will show up
before... too... long.
I'm here for you, Mystery Inc.
[all screaming]
Are you guys seeing this?
Ah, my wish came true.
[growling]
[all screaming]
Uh-oh. Ahhh!
[laughs maliciously]
[explosion]
[Fred groans]
My brochures! Our guest book!
Fred, it's time to run!
[laughs maliciously]
To the Mystery Machine!
[screeching]
-[all screaming]
-[Fred] Never mind.
[Shaggy trembling]
If that ghoul is here for us,
I want to be somewhere else.
Wowie! Looks like
we got our next mystery,
and this one's got teeth!
-[both trembling]
-Good, 'cause I might need
a new set afterwards.
As soon as possible,
we'll need to round up
a list of potential suspects,
beginning with Farmer Avery
and that suspicious goat
of his.
And I'll cross reference
that list
with any recent land deals
in the area.
Great thinking, Velma.
No, wait. A ghost with a grudge
attacking us on Halloween.
There's only one person
who could be behind this.
I think
it's time we pay a visit
to our old pal Coco Diablo.
[shouting] I love that idea!
I mean, you know,
it's, um, hmm...
It's completely,
logically sound.
[chuckles nervously]
-I like it, too.
-Really?
But there's no time to lose.
Because, like,
we gotta solve this case
in time to go
trick-or-treating, right?
[school bell ringing]
[door buzzer sounding]
[gates open]
Before I show you even more
of the high tech modifications
I've made to the facility,
I just want to say
what a tremendous honor it is
to welcome you here.
I'm a huge fan of Mystery Inc.
Yeah, man,
you already said that.
Three times already.
Well, I can't say it enough,
given how your mystery solving
has kept my prison
at full capacity
over the years.
[indistinct shouting]
You meddling kids!
Try not to let
any of these goons upset you.
Mystery Inc?
More like mystery stink.
[laughing maniacally]
Shut your trap!
How dare you
disrespect my friends
like that,
you filthy crook!
[breathing heavily]
It's okay, Warden Collins.
Wasn't even a very good burn.
I'll show them.
I'll show them all.
[Scooby-Doo] Oh! [trembling]
What are you doing, man?
Don't worry. Watch.
I'm free! [laughing maniacally]
[screaming]
Watch the pretty coin of gold,
and you will do
as you are told.
[laughing maniacally]
Invisible force field.
I designed it myself.
Gets them every time.
Oh, you got to let me show you
our new state-of-the-art
robotic chef.
You just have to see this thing
flip pancakes!
Raggy, did he just say
pancakes?
[chomps]
Wait, wait, wait! No!
Like, keep it together, buddy.
We need to stay focused.
Remember, time is candy.
Oh, right. Candy.
Yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah!
I'm cool. Tell him, Shaggy.
Never thought I'd say this,
but, man, there's no time
for pancakes today.
As fun as this tour has been,
we're here
to talk to Coco Diablo.
Oh, of course.
You kids, [chuckles]
such professionals.
Right this way.
Anyhoo, you're lucky
you caught Miss Diablo on a day
where she doesn't have
too many press events planned.
Uh... [grunting, struggling]
-[Scooby-Doo groans]
-I don't mean to be rude, dude,
but we're on
a bit of a schedule here.
[grunting, struggling]
[pants] No, no, I got it.
[laughs nervously]
Just give me a sec.
[door buzzer sounding]
You have four minutes.
Oh, heck, since it's you,
take as long as you need.
[sinister music playing]
Well, well, well.
Look who it is.
Jinkies!
You don't seem surprised
to see us.
Word travels fast in here.
Heard you're having
a bit of a ghoul problem.
[laughs slyly]
Hmm, you sure do know a lot
for someone
who's been locked away.
You were behind the attack!
Case closed.
Let's get out of here, guys.
[laughs cunningly]
What makes you think
I had anything to do with it?
Do you really expect us
to believe
that the mastermind behind
all our previous mysteries
had nothing to do
with this one?
Did you see
any of my signature designs?
What mechanisms
did they use to attack you?
Did the ghoul's clothes
have built-in pockets?
Details matter.
Hmm.
Now that you mention it,
we were kind of distracted
by being--
Terrified! His face was like...
[growls]
And he, uh...
So we were like, "Ruh-roh!"
Normally,
I'm much more observant.
There was a lot happening
at once.
Too bad. If I had been there,
I bet
I could have narrowed it down
to two or three copycats
of my work.
Wait a second. That's it!
Maybe you could help us
crack the case.
Sure, it'll be a tight squeeze
in the van,
but nothing we can't handle.
Right?
Actually,
that's not a bad idea.
After all, Coco is well-versed
in the minds of criminals.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, hang on.
We need to carefully
and meticulously consider this.
Oh, boy, how long is this
going to take?
Working with the enemy
on our first case in a year
seems like
a recipe for disaster.
Huh...
But?
But at the same time,
we haven't had a case
like this in some time,
and we could be a little rusty.
A little help might be...
-Just say it already!
-This is taking forever!
...something to carefully
and meticulously consider.
[both groan]
Look, the only way
I'll agree to help
is if I could be considered
for early release.
You know, for a good behavior.
And helping Mystery Inc.
would definitely qualify
as good behavior.
But I'm just not sure
Coco can be trusted.
Look, Fred,
we need Coco's insights
to help identify these ghouls,
and she needs us
to vouch for her early release.
That's trust enough for me.
What do you think,
Warden Collins?
Well, it's pretty risky
for obvious reasons.
But if you teenagers think
it's okay,
who am I to argue? [chuckles]
But if you're leaving
the premises,
I need a safeguard.
If Coco strays out of range,
the necessary parties
will be alerted.
We just need one of you kids
to wear the matching bracelet
and serve as home base,
if you will.
I'll do it!
What? I'm curious to see
how the technology works.
You kids have fun.
Scoob, we absotively posilutely
have to speed things up here.
We've got to crack this case
before Coco and her big ideas
slow us down.
The clock's ticking!
Scoob, are you listening?
Scooby-Doo?
[dramatic music playing]
[meows]
[growls]
Esteban!
My angel of darkness!
Ahem, I mean, my angel.
[growling]
[growls]
[gasps]
Now, Coco,
if we're gonna make this work,
you play by our rules
and don't do anything
to distract from
or jeopardize this case.
Or our plans to go
trick-or-treating tonight.
So, what do you think
about bringing Coco along?
Oh, is she coming with us?
I hadn't noticed.
Yeah, it's just weird,
'cause I didn't know
convicted felons
were your type.
What? [chuckles nervously]
Type? Me? Please.
Who has time for a... a type?
We have our work
cut out for us,
and I am focused
like a laser on...
[loudly] Okay,
who am I kidding!
I'm crushing big time, Daphne!
What do I do? What do I say?
Don't overthink it.
Just be yourself.
Oh, yeah. Easy peasy.
Hmm. So this is where
the magic happens.
[chuckling] You guys
really do need help
if you're driving this.
The Mystery Machine
took a big hit,
but she's still got
what it takes
to get the job done.
[clunks]
Just like us.
[engine spluttering]
Like, maybe we should
take a different car
or a bus or something.
Are you crazy?
This is the Mystery Machine.
Oh, man!
I was afraid
you were gonna say that.
Come on, old girl.
Fred needs a new ascot.
[engine spluttering]
[engine roaring, spluttering]
[engine revving]
[screeching]
-[Mystery Machine purring]
-Boy, listen to that baby purr.
So, where are we headed, gang?
Let's take Coco
to the scene of the crime.
She might have some insights.
[whispering] Hey,
now is your chance
to talk to her.
So, uh, what made you
get into the business
of being bad?
I mean, not that
there is anything wrong
with being bad.
Wait. Oh, no,
that didn't come out right.
Good and bad are subjective.
I don't see why innovation
and helping people
solve their problems
would be considered bad.
You are so right.
You know,
one time I got detention--
Hi. Sorry to steal
my friend here,
but I need to talk to her
about anything but this.
Okay, you're doing great.
-I am?
-No.
Fred, how long
till we are there?
Uh, approximately one hour.
I guess we can kiss
all that sweet, sweet candy
goodbye.
[sighs] There's always
next year.
[Fred] Let me
set the stage for you, Coco.
Imagine an amazing
attention-grabbing booth
right here.
Why would I imagine that?
Fred thought
it would be a great way
to drum up business.
[laughing]
[fake laughter]
That was my reaction, too.
[Fred clears throat]
Excuse me,
I'm setting the stage here.
Anyway, there was a line
of potential clients
[in distance] that stretched
all the way from here
-to the very unpopular
goat-balancing act.
-[lapping] Hmm.
-Sky seemed to change colors
and the air smelled like...
-[Shaggy sniffs]
-Kettle corn!
-BRB.
No, it...
it wasn't kettle corn.
-It was like, um, more of a--
-[Coco] Propylene.
Judging by the trace amounts
of propylene glycol,
whoever's behind this
clearly lacks imagination.
So, we can assume
their techniques
will be primitive.
And since ethereal torpedoes
don't actually exist,
we're looking for
some kind of detonation device
that was triggered
via remote control.
Swoon.
Oh, yeah, sure.
We already know all of that.
Look, making monsters
may be your life's work,
but catching them is ours.
So, if you'll please
just trust our process.
-Now, uh, where was I?
-Hold that thought.
What is this?
Oh, that's just our guest book
for people to sign
and write down the mysteries
they need solved.
[all gasp]
Hmm.
You'd think
we would have noticed
something like that.
-Does that name
sound familiar to you?
-No.
Whoever it is,
this Nefario is our next clue.
We are back. What did we miss?
Did you guys solve the case?
[Coco] When I said
we should look into
who this Nefario guy is,
this isn't what I meant.
You sure do love
boring homework.
Pfft. Not me. I hate homework.
Never done a day of it
in my life.
Or have I? Who can say?
Because I am very mysterious.
[all gasp]
[bats screeching]
Ah, here it is.
The "Life and Crimes
of Friederich Nefario."
[Scooby-Doo] Oh.
[Fred] "Deep in his castle
high in the
Carpathian Mountains,
Count Friederich Nefario
gathered members
of high society
from across Europe
to form a council
with a sinister purpose.
He called them together
because they were each
uniquely suited
to carry out his grand plan.
There was
his dear friend, Daisy,
a vain and spoiled socialite
who had everything
but it was never enough.
And Helga,
a scientific genius
who knew it all.
All but the difference
between right and wrong,
that is.
And finally, Craggly
and his trusted attack dog,
Rudy,
whose insatiable appetites
often led them
down the wrong path.
And so,
on this fateful
Halloween night,
Nefario opened
the ancient tome and--"
[Velma] Wait a second.
Is it just me,
or is there something
strangely familiar
about this group?
I don't see it.
Can we please
get back to reading?
Yeah, the clock's ticking.
"Nefario opened
the ancient tome
and read from the sacred text,
inviting them to join
the most enticing fellowship
called Misery Company."
-[slurping]
-[Fred] "Upon initiation,
they would receive
the gift of eternal life,
not only outliving
their children,
but also
their children's children
and their children's
children's children
-and their children's
children's children's--"
-Man, I can't take it anymore!
Let's see here.
"According to legend..."
blah, blah, blah.
Aha, here it is.
"Misery Company
got to live forever.
But in return, they were forced
to maintain the balance
of good and evil in the world."
So, like,
if there was too much good,
they had to balance it out
with evil.
Then blah, blah,
blah, blah, blah. Boom.
The end.
That's the clue! Move on!
Shh!
[softly] Need I remind you
that you are in a library?
[all] No!
But why would
this Misery Company
be coming after us?
It's obvious.
You goody-goodies
disrupted the balance.
You caused there
to be too much good
in the world,
especially after catching me.
Now the ghouls are after you
to set the balance right again.
So, if I were you,
I'd keep an eye out
for this Nefario guy.
He's right behind me, isn't he?
[all] Mm-hmm.
No wires, huh?
Can't wait to talk shop
with whoever you are
when this is over.
Your technique
is quite impressive.
[growls]
I'm here for you!
["The Ballroom Blitz" playing]
Let's go!
On the bright side,
at least Nefario's friends
from the book
didn't decide to join him.
[laughing]
Quick. Let's split up, gang.
[ghouls shouting]
[Daisy growling]
I'm here for you!
[growling]
[gasps, chuckles nervously]
[screams]
[panting, gasps]
I'm here for you!
Me too.
[both laughing]
[both yell]
And the man at the back said
"Everyone attack"
And it turned
Into a ballroom blitz
And the girl
In the corner said
Boy, I wanna warn ya
It'll turn
Into a ballroom blitz
Ballroom blitz
Ballroom blitz
Dude, ix-nay on the andy-cay.
Relax, I got this.
[struggling]
Okay, but get me some, too.
[growls]
Zoinks!
Yikes!
[Craggly shouting]
[Nefario laughs maliciously]
[grunts]
[explosion]
[Fred grunts]
[panting]
[song stops playing]
[gasping] I don't know
how much more I can do.
I'm here for you!
Just kidding.
I was built for this stuff.
[laughs]
I'm gonna live forever!
["The Ballroom Blitz" playing]
Wow, you were able to
miniaturize the turbo pump
for the actuators?
I'm impressed.
Oh, that was easy.
The hard part
was getting comfortable
carrying rocket fuel and parts
around all day unnoticed.
Wow, I'm being myself.
Look out!
-I hate coming to the library
to do my homework.
-[screaming]
[boy screams]
[groans softly]
Awesome!
Now I have an excuse
to not do my homework!
Like, what are we gonna do?
Okay, gang, ahh,
this is just like old times.
Here's the plan.
-Let's split up and--
-[all] We just did that!
-Shh.
-[all yell]
This is all very disruptive.
I could have you banned,
you know?
[all] We know.
So, does anyone else
have a plan?
I think we're overdue
for some good ideas.
Oh! Library puns.
I've got an idea.
Yo, ghoul breath!
[growling]
[exhales]
Follow my lead.
[all] We're here for you!
You know,
I expect this kind of thing
from kids these days,
but someone as ancient as you
should really know better.
You should respect the rules!
You should respect authority!
You should respect the fact
that this is a library,
and in the library,
you be quiet!
Quick, this way.
[struggles] Oh,
some help here, please.
[all struggling]
And don't you ever
let me catch you
being loud again.
[Shaggy whimpering]
[all] We are here for you!
Shaggy, it's just a costume.
You're gonna need
to leave it behind.
No, I can't do that.
I can't trick-or-treat
without a costume.
And I can't get all that candy
unless we trick-or-treat.
One of the great paradoxes
of the universe.
[ghouls growling]
[all grunting]
[engine revving]
[engine spluttering]
Like, dude,
that was a lot of fun
and everything.
But I don't think
we're any closer
to solving this case!
Yeah, or trick-or-treating.
And now, instead of one ghoul,
we've got five after us!
What kind of dangerous road
are you leading us down, Coco?
[truck horn blows]
I'm sure that
Coco made some
brilliant observations
in the encounter we just had.
The cute one's right.
Esteban, show them
my brilliant observations.
[meows]
Black lace. Platform boots.
Tacky cloak. Top hat.
I know who is behind this.
[growls]
And I know
just where to find him.
[thunder crashing]
[door opens, howling]
Oh, my! A customer!
But what do I do?
What do I say?
Just be yourself, Trevor.
Your dark and beautiful self.
[thunder crashing]
Greetings, seeker of darkness,
and welcome to Trevor Glume's
Boutique of...
Hello, Trevor.
...Doom.
[caterwauls]
My, my!
Look how far you've come.
I'm so proud of you.
Hello, Miss Diablo.
Yes. A lot has changed
since you were...
-Well...
-[chomping]
Excuse me! Those are not food!
[retches]
Anyway, I finally
had the emotional space
to pursue
my own personal style.
[scoffs] Your own
personal style?
Just looks like
more Dracula costumes
to me, Trevor.
[mechanical laughter]
Admit it! You're trying
to steal my old business model
while I was locked away,
unable to fend for myself!
I... I don't know
what you're talking about.
I'm talking about
how you've been conspiring
to destroy Mystery Inc!
[crying] What?
Where were you an hour ago?
I was here
dealing with my multitudes
of satisfied customers.
I was very busy up
until the moment you came in.
Would you mind proving that?
I don't think that's necessary.
What does security footage
really prove anyway?
Rewind it.
Rewind it more.
-[clicks]
-[footage rewinding]
Rewind it a lot more.
-Keep going.
-[footage rewinding]
-A little more.
-[footage rewinding]
-More.
-[footage rewinding]
Stop. Go back.
Enhance image.
Enhance more.
[disappointed groans]
Well, it's sad,
but it is an alibi.
[wailing]
[blowing nose]
-Looks like--
-[blowing nose]
-Looks like...
-[sniffs] Sorry.
Looks like we've hit
another dead end.
[blowing nose]
So much for that
early release, Coco.
Oh, come on.
Can you blame me for thinking
this tacky weirdo
designed those ghoul costumes?
Maybe you'll get
some real customers
if you got some actual taste.
I do have real customers.
In fact, [blowing nose]
you should know
that I received
the biggest order of my life
just last week.
Oh, sure. With who?
Goths 'R Us?
No, that was two weeks ago.
Last week, I sent
some of my finest
Victorian creations
-directly
to Coolsville Penitentiary.
-[gasps]
[all] Coolsville Penitentiary?
What are you looking at me for?
Mr. Glume,
could we see the paperwork
for that order?
This is just the connection
we've been looking for.
Looks like
Coco might be giving us
the runaround after all.
Trevor fulfilled a big order
for someone
at the prison last week.
And Coco just so happened to be
at the prison last week.
I'm sure
it's just a misunderstanding.
Man, it's Coco.
Just like I said hours ago.
Now, can we please
wrap this up?
Ugh, what happened
to these receipts?
They're all smudged.
[crying] Haven't any of you
ever cried at work?
[gang] Oh. Hey, don't worry.
That's okay, buddy.
[crying]
[thunder crashing]
Hey, where did Coco go?
Okay, it's starting to look
less like a misunderstanding.
[stops beeping]
Oh, man, we still
haven't solved the case,
and now we've got to find
an escaped convict, too?
Worst Halloween ever!
Oh, no. Look!
I think it's time
we go and investigate
the old Diablo costume factory.
Wait a second.
Oh, for the love
of Scooby Snacks,
what now?
If we're gonna do this right,
we got to do it in style.
This is the awesome
montage part of the case
where we spruce up
the Mystery Machine.
[both groan]
Can I help?
I don't know.
[snivels]
Oh, why not?
Hurray.
["Change" playing]
Tear me down
Start all over again
Heavy sound
My heart beats
Through my chest
Hoping now
When you see my silhouette
You'll be happy
You'll be happy
With something new
I could change, rearrange
And get strange with you
If you want me to
If you want me to
Crystal clear
It's a different
Point of view
Night grows near
And without fear
I could change, rearrange
And get strange with you
If you want me to
If you want me to
I could change, rearrange
And get strange with you
If you want me to
Yeah, if you want me to
Well, it's not
what I expected, but...
it's exactly what I expected.
It is my greatest creation yet.
[creepy organ music playing]
[engine revs]
[Trevor] Farewell.
[intense music playing]
[tires screech]
I suspect
Coco tried to throw us
off her tracks
by accusing Trevor Glume.
And when that backfired,
she lured us here
so she could ambush us
at her factory.
Where she has the upper hand.
Coco has all her old
secret weapons here.
We have to stay on our toes.
Creepy.
Oh!
[cries out]
Like, really creepy.
Don't worry,
Shaggy and Scooby,
it's only mannequins.
Like, dude,
[fake laughter]
totally knew that.
Yeah, [chuckles]
we were just practicing
for the real ghouls.
Who are probably close by.
Maybe we should split up
and look for clues.
Really? You mean it?
Dude, whatever keeps us moving.
[gasps]
No question about it, guys,
we have to split up.
[Helga] Got any aces?
[Daisy] No,
you took all of them.
Wait, do you hear that?
[Nefario] You're supposed
to say, "Go fish."
That sounds like...
[Daisy] It was implied.
Us!
[Daisy] Do you have any Jacks?
[Helga] Go fish.
I think you're cheating!
What kind of fool
needs to cheat at Go Fish?
Hmm.
We might not be
able to trick tonight,
but maybe we can still treat!
[both gasp]
-Oh!
-No!
No, no, no, no!
Just our luck!
Why would I even need to cheat?
You have a terrible hand.
I do?
You're just jealous
because I'm the pretty one.
Looked in the mirror lately?
Silence, you fools!
Time is upon us
to ambush those meddling kids.
Oh, no, what should we do?
Let's see. We already split up
and looked for clues, so...
Okay, here's the plan.
We need to--
[banging]
Run!
[all] We are here for you!
[panting]
[all] Huh?
[Fred grunting]
[all gasping, whimpering]
[growling]
[Fred] Whoa!
[groans]
[shrieking]
[Helga growls]
[groaning, shrieking]
[coughing]
[groaning]
Whoa!
[shrieking]
[all groaning]
I always knew
I was the complete package,
but this is ridiculous.
Help!
Somebody help us!
Help!
[distant shouting]
Help! Anybody!
Zoinks! Like, is that
what I'm think it is, Scoob?
[distant shouting] Help us!
Please help us!
-Anybody help us!
-Yeah, it is.
What do we do?
Mm-hmm.
We got to do the one thing
that we don't want to do.
Oh, no.
By giving up
doing the one thing
that we do want to do.
You mean...
I do!
Hey, ghouls,
don't forget about me
and Scooby-Doo.
Yeah. This whole franchise
is named after me.
[growling]
[both gasp]
[Nefario] We are here for you!
Oh, sorry.
Thought you were somebody else.
So long trick-or-treating.
[screaming]
[machine stops]
I guess we'll never know
who those ghouls really were.
[all] Robots?
We're here for...
[machines stop]
So if the ghouls were robots,
that means
someone was controlling them.
And I'm pretty sure it was--
[Coco] Me.
[all gasp]
That's right. I did it all.
I built the robots
and programmed them
to get back at you
for taking me down.
[all] Huh?
Oh, oh, and I would have
gotten away with it, too,
if it wasn't
for you meddling kids.
[all] Hmm.
[all] Hmm.
[all] Hmm.
[all] Hmm.
Even though I suspected
you were behind it
the whole time,
something about this
doesn't feel right.
Agreed.
Seems a little too easy.
And this confession
doesn't seem
like your style, Coco.
And where is Esteban?
Hmm. [sniffs]
Hmm. [sniffing]
Like, hey, I think
Scooby's on to something.
What is it, Scooby?
Come on, let's follow him.
[sniffing]
Esteban is in here.
No! Don't look in there,
please!
And someone else, too.
Oh, boy. Oh, boy.
I bet whoever that is
is the one
who's really behind this.
But, uh, just to be clear,
when we open this door,
we'll be done with the case,
and who knows
when the next one might--
-[Velma] Open it, Fred.
-You bet.
[all gasp]
[muted meows]
[all] Warden Collins!
Hi, Mystery Inc.
So, it was Warden Collins
behind this assault
on Mystery Inc. the whole time?
Only the Warden
is technologically savvy enough
to program robots
this advanced.
And, like, obsessed
with Mystery Inc. enough
to make them look just like us.
And only the Warden
had the ability to free Coco
from her tracking bracelet.
He brought her here,
then took her adorable
kitty cat hostage...
Not that adorable.
...in order
to force a confession
out of her.
But why?
You kids may not know this,
but I'm your biggest fan.
You've given me
ten times as many inmates
for my prison
than the Coolsville
Police Department.
Hey, now that's cold, but true.
But after putting away
Coco Diablo,
all your cases dried up.
And when I saw
how desperate you all were
for an exciting new mystery,
I just wanted to do something
to repay the favor.
I wanted to give you
the most exciting mystery
of your young lives.
I used the technology
I perfected at my prison
to construct
the scariest ghouls
I could imagine.
Evil doppelgangers
of my heroes!
Then I carefully
planted clues all over town.
[giggles]
And when
Coco Diablo got involved,
I knew that
she would be the perfect dupe
to pin it all on
because she was already
serving hard time.
No harm, no foul.
[scoffs]
[caterwauling]
So, this was all
just a big favor for us?
Mm-hmm.
Maybe there really can be
too much of a good thing.
But you were never
in any real danger
because I could always
turn off my evil robots
with a push of the button.
-[digital beeping]
-Oops. [laughs]
That one deactivates
all the security force fields
at the prison.
Well, turn it back on!
Right. Of course. [panicking]
Uh, wait, wait.
Which one was that again?
Uh... Wait, wait, wait. Uh...
[beeping stops]
Oops.
What's this now?
Another one
of the warden's tricks?
It's a Halloween miracle!
[laughs maniacally]
We're free. Free!
[laughing]
[all shouting] Free! [cheering]
[panting]
[indistinct shouting]
[panting]
I think
"oops" is the wrong word,
Warden.
I know,
but this is a family movie.
All right, gang,
it looks like our work
isn't even close to done.
Maybe you should try
not to look so happy.
You're right, Shaggy.
That's something
that I'm working on.
We've got to do something.
But we're no match
against so many villains.
Yeah, you'd have to have
some kind of super powers
to stand a chance.
But don't worry, kids,
Coolsville Police Department--
I might be
able to help with that.
Esteban.
Like, Scoob,
maybe we didn't miss out
on Halloween after all.
Uh-uh, no way.
Like, come on, Scoob,
it's the only costume left.
Come on, Scoob,
you're ruining it for everyone.
Humph.
[shouting, cheering]
Give it to me,
you little banister biter!
[laughs maliciously]
Hey, you didn't say
trick-or-treat!
Ha-ha, too easy!
[crying] Mommy!
Mine!
[laughs maliciously]
[tires screech]
Okay, gang, let's split up,
and nab us some convicts.
Hey, there's one now.
Hope you miss prison food
because you're going
right back to...
Oh, apologies.
You have
a very convincing costume.
Have a great night.
And stay safe.
Geesh. Grown-ups. Go figure.
[Daphne] Come on, gang,
let's get to work.
[gasping]
Hello, children.
Not much exercise in jail.
That candy you're holding
looks quite valuable to me.
I'll appraise it and offer you
a competitive price for it.
What are you talking about,
mister?
It's called stealing, kid.
[laughs mischievously]
Wait! What's it worth?
[Fred] Now,
if I were an escaped convict,
where would I hide?
-[clinks]
-Oh!
Hey, Mr. Wickles,
what a night for a knight, huh?
Is this that karma
everybody's
always talking about?
[grunting]
Huh? What the...
Oh! It can't be!
Sorry, Captain Cutler.
Didn't mean to dampen
your Halloween spirit.
[laughs maliciously]
Boo! [gasps]
[laughing evilly]
[screams]
Oh, Henry Bascombe,
you were always such a scream.
[in monotone] You want to
give me all your candy.
[both] We want to give you
all our candy.
[Shaggy] Wouldn't you rather
teach this evil doer a lesson?
[both] Yes!
No. No!
[Shaggy] My work here is done.
[Harry groaning]
[doorbell rings]
Hand over all of that
there candy or else.
[meows]
Kitty!
Oh, such a sweet little
shmochy-woochie.
Yes, you are.
Forgot I'm allergic.
[sneezing]
Dagnabbit!
[Olive screaming]
Scooby-Dooby-Doo!
[convicts grunting]
[all grumbling]
[Daphne] Wow,
look at us. We did it.
Coco's costumes
sure were a big help.
When you use these costumes
for good,
they're not all bad.
Okay, time to
take this riff-raff
back to prison.
[blows whistle, clears throat]
Now, when I call your name,
please say--
Not so fast!
Empty your pockets!
[indistinct shouting]
[shrieking, trembling]
Do as the scrawny
hippy commands!
You know
you can't eat that candy,
right?
It's stolen.
But, like, didn't you say
good and bad are subjective?
Only when it applies to me.
-Oh, so close!
-Yet so far away.
[sighs]
For some reason,
everyone thinks
I'm wearing a costume
and keeps giving me candy.
I'm on a strict liver
and goat-milk regimen,
but I thought
you two might enjoy it.
[chomping]
You know, Trevor, [gulps]
despite your dark
and gloomy exterior,
deep down,
you're a golden ray
of sunshine.
You... you really think so?
Like, no question
about it, man.
Absolutely.
Well, how about that?
You were totally right!
[laughs]
Catch you dudes later!
Thanks for your help today.
I'd like to think
that under different
circumstances,
we'd really get along.
Oh, really?
Oh, there I go
saying the wrong thing again.
No, it's just that I thought
we got along great.
Do you know
how rare it is for me
to like someone
other than myself?
Jinkies!
My glasses.
I can't find my glasses.
Friends.
No.
[both] Agreed.
[giggles]
So, I've been meaning
to talk to you, Freddy.
[sighs] I was thinking
about, you know,
my role in the gang.
What do you mean?
No offense, Fred,
but I think I should be
the leader of Mystery Inc.,
not you.
Whoa!
That's a strange thing to say.
I'm sorry.
I know it sounds crazy,
but I just feel like--
But, Daphne, you've always been
the leader of Mystery Inc.
Wait, seriously?
You remain calm under pressure,
you're the person
that everyone turns to
for advice,
and you make it all
look effortless.
That's what a true leader does.
Inspires others
to do their best,
and leads by example.
I have a much more important
and prestigious duty
[chuckling] of driving the van!
[groaning]
Like, if tonight
has taught us anything,
it's that
you really can have
too much of a good thing.
Right, Scooby-Doo?
Another great paradox
of the universe.
Well, with this case
all wrapped up,
Coco Diablo back behind bars,
and the prison
getting a new warden...
Wait, Charlie Humdrum,
the tax accountant?
I'm used to
working with criminals.
I guess things will go back
to being pretty quiet again
in Coolsville.
Not necessarily!
I got to say
whatever magic this is,
you did a bang-up job.
I wish for more cases,
as many cases
as you can throw our way.
Big cases, spooky cases,
wild cases, we're ready!
Thanks, wishing well.
And hey, Happy Halloween.

Good show, Mystery Inc!
[slurps]
You've certainly
lived up to your
most formidable reputation.
Now let's see
who this Cat Man really is.
Actually, Inspector,
I think Ms. Cat Man
might be more accurate.
[all] Olive Khadka!
[slurps]
But why?
Your family
owns the ski resort.
Exactly.
But my father plans
to leave it all
to his new wife, Heena.
She's half his age, you know.
What do you think, Velma?
Does it match the others?
[Olive continues speaking]
Let's find out.
...creature
to scare away skiers
and force the lodge
out of business.
And I would have
gotten away with it, too,
if it weren't for...
Hey, where did
those meddling kids go?
[engine starts]
[slurps]
[Fred] Wow,
just as I suspected.
The materials used
to make the Cat Man suit
are identical
to every other costume
from the criminals
we've captured.
[Daphne] Henry Bascombe's
Space Kook suit.
[Velma] Captain Cutler's
ghost diver suit.
[Shaggy]
That freaky ghost clown,
Harry the Hypnotist. [whimpers]
[Fred] All starting
with the Black Knight,
Mr. Wickles.
[Daphne] I always thought
it was a strange coincidence
that all our cases
seemed to involve
some supernatural creature.
But it wasn't a coincidence.
These costumes
were created by one person,
a secret mastermind
hiding behind the curtain
and pulling the strings
all this time.
[all] Coco Diablo!
Happy Halloween.
I'm Coco Diablo.
I'm here for the, uh, VIP tour.
Of course you are.
Right this way.
As you can see,
we manufacture a wide variety
of popular Halloween costumes.
Classic gorilla. Silly hot dog.
Treacherous maven.
We make it all here.
Of course,
here at Diablo Costumes,
we pride ourselves
in only making safe,
family-friendly products.
Of course.
We only use
the best materials here.
None of those chintzy,
disposable synthetics
other companies rely upon.
And our costumes
are crafted by true artisans.
Excuse me, Miss Diablo.
How many times
must I tell you
not to interrupt
when I'm with a client?
But I've just completed
the prototype
for next year's
Dracula costume.
Dracula, again!
Really, Trevor,
can't you design
anything other than Dracula?
Well, I can try to, but...
Oh, my!
Try harder.
[growling]
[gasps]
That's my apprentice, Trevor.
Don't mind him.
He shows promise.
But he's always wearing
those ridiculous hats.
No offense.
Now, where were we?
I'd like to see something
a little more scary,
if you catch my drift.
Of course. Step into my office.
[whirring]
[meows]
So, who told you about me?
Olive Khadka.
Ugh. Olive, such a shame.
I deliver
state-of-the-art costumes,
and these fools
end up getting defeated
by those... [clears throat]
I appreciate the rec
nonetheless.
Let me cut to the chase.
I got the inside track
that a new highway
is about to run
through Winterhaven.
-And I--
-And you're looking to
buy up the land on the cheap
so you can
make a monstrous profit.
But first, you need a way
to scare off the competition.
Um, yeah, something like that.
I have just the thing.
Esteban.
Hmm. Looks a bit constricting.
I call it
the 10,000 Volt Ghost.
The cloth conforms
to any body type,
and you can adjust the current
to control the mind of anyone
you want
to submit to your will.
It's my greatest creation yet.
How much?
For you, it could be free...
I'm listening.
...on this one condition.
Get rid of those meddling kids
who've been destroying
all of my brilliant costumes.
[meows]
And their dumb dog, too.
That might be
a little difficult.
Oh. And why is that?
Because, like, I am
one of those meddling kids.
[gasps]
And I am their dumb dog.
-[growls]
-Whoa!
Nice work, Shaggy and Scooby.
And as promised,
here are your Scooby...
Jinkies!
[sniffs]
You've just helped us
nab the mastermind
of one of the most notorious
costume crime syndicates
in the world.
The most notorious.
But how did you kids do it?
It's simple, really, Sheriff.
You see, I had a hunch
that a lot of the cases
we've been solving lately
were somehow connected.
Scooby and Shaggy
bravely put themselves
in harm's way
time after time
to gather clues.
While Velma,
our resident science whiz,
analyzed that data,
which led us here
to Coco's factory.
-Humph.
-And Daphne,
well, she, uh... She, uh...
Uh, what was it again?
Fred, don't be silly.
You know very well
that I... I, um...
Come to think of it,
I'm not really sure what I did,
or what I ever do.
I see. Well, good work.
Yeah, yeah. Good work.
But you know what they say
about too much of a good thing.
Okay, time to go, Miss Diablo.
[Coco] Fire away, news monkeys!
All press is good press.
[sighs]
Well, gang,
another mystery solved.
And with Coco Diablo locked up,
things should be
a whole lot quieter
from now on.
Sounds groovy to me, man.
Yeah, me too.
But what if there really can be
too much of a good thing?
["Scooby-Doo,
I'm So Blue" playing]
Scooby-Dooby-Doo
This is new
Our mysteries are changing
No more ghouls and ghosts
Just helping folks
With very boring cases
Come on, Scooby-Doo
I see you
You got no shakes
No shivers
But I'm in misery
Just look at me
Wishing for some danger
I know it's good
To take a break and chill
Scooby Doo
I really miss the fun
Now there's none
And, Scooby Doo
Maybe it's true
This too much
Of a good thing
Well, it stinks
[slow music playing]
[imperceptible]
Oh, Scooby-Dooby-Doo
I'm so blue
Life used to be
So thrilling
The days of creepy capers
Seem to be through
Because we caught
That villain
[chomping]
You need any help
with that, Velma?
I'm pretty good with
whatever it is you're doing.
No, thanks. I've got a system.
Okay. Well,
if you change your mind,
I'll just... just be over here.
Just what exactly
are you hiding
in all of this, Mr. Humdrum?
Oh, please be
a fleet of ghost pirates
he wanted to use to scare
a small fishing village
into selling him their land.
Oh! [gasping] Or...
Or maybe let's just see
who you really are.
[struggling]
Hey, what are you doing?
No, stop. Stop that.
Oh, that's my face.
I can... [grunts]
Oh! [struggling] Get off...
Get off of me!
[grunts]
[groaning]
Oh, my eye. Aah! Oh!
[grunts]
Sorry, Fred,
he was inflating tax refunds
for his clients
by claiming fake deductions,
exaggerating expenses,
and falsifying home energy
improvement reports.
But that's so boring.
[sighs] Take him away, Sheriff,
or whatever.
Who cares.
Uh, not to add insult
to injury,
but we don't really
take people away
for crimes like these.
Now, Charlie,
do you promise
to pay back
what you owe?
Uh... Yes.
Okay then, that's that.
[all] Hmph.
[sighs wearily]
Hey, who ate my lunch?
You know, I'm starting to think
that maybe it was a mistake...
Don't say it, Fred.
-Don't say it was a mistake
capturing Coco Diablo.
-Capturing Coco Diablo.
Since we locked her up,
we haven't had
one interesting case.
But it's good
a criminal mastermind
is behind bars, right?
[scoffs] Yeah,
good for her maybe.
She's becoming a celebrity
in there.
Her book was a best-seller.
Velma, you bought a copy?
Oh. [chuckles nervously]
I buy every bestselling book
written by criminals
we put away.
It's a helpful way
to get insight
into the criminal mind.
And Coco's prose
is surprisingly poetic.
Huh! A lot of good
that will do us,
solving mysteries
about missing socks.
Dude, the way I see it,
fewer freaky cases
means fewer freaky ghosts
freaking us out.
Yeah!
So, let's just enjoy
this downtime, man.
I mean, dude,
tomorrow's Halloween!
-[thunder crashing]
-[screaming]
I sure hope I didn't jinx us!
[thunder crashing]
Gum drops, sugar cane
Now there is normal rain
And everything's gonna be
So, so sweet
Don't know
What I did before
I had you and over, though
Come try...
Like, wow, Scoob,
this is shaping up to be
the best Halloween haul ever.
Yeah!
[both] Trick-or-treat!
Uh, Raggy, it's ricky.
Yeah, tricky and treaty.
Our favorite candy-related
activities.
No, Raggy, I'm stuck.
-Like, where Scoob?
-Here.
-Around here?
-Uh-huh.
[Shaggy] I'll try
ringing the bell.
We'll just use our foot
as leverage.
Ooh, a raggy roor.
[sniffs]
Wait. Is this
what I think it is?
Mm, caramel!
[both] This house
is made of candy!
Gum drops, sugar cane
Now there's no more rain
And everything's gonna be
Oh, so sweet
Don't know
What I did before
I had you and over, though
Fun times nothing
I don't look for clues
I'll be close on loving you
-[explosion]
-[alarm ringing]
[both] Did you?
I did. You did, too?
Happy Halloween!
You thinking what I'm thinking?
Let's suit up!
[screaming]
[screaming]
[screaming]
-Yeah, these will work.
-Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
[horn honking]
Hey, looks like the gang
wants to get a head start
on trick-or-treating!
[both] Oh, boy.
Oh, boy. Oh, boy.
[laughs] After you, sir.
No, I insist.
[both] Aah!
[both] Happy Halloween!
[laughing maniacally]
Shaggy, Scooby, look, I know
you're excited for Halloween,
but I've had it
with these rinky-dink cases.
We need a real mystery.
But how?
And more importantly, why?
I thought about it,
and I had a great idea.
I say we take a page
out of Coco Diablo's book,
and drum up
a little publicity of our own.
Not today, though, right?
I mean, today's Halloween.
Yeah, we're pumpkins.
All right, guys, listen.
Just hear me out.
What if we set up a booth
at the Coolsville
Halloween Festival today?
The exposure
could bring us new business.
-[Scooby-Doo] Oh!
-That's your big idea?
A booth at a festival?
What's our next case?
Judging the biggest hog?
[both laughing]
Well, that's not all.
We could put out a guest book
so people can leave
their contact information,
or tell us
about mysterious occurrences
in their lives.
But... but trick-or-treating!
And candy!
[gasps]
[tires screech]
-Everything okay, Fred?
-I, uh...
I think I see my grandmother
over there.
Hi, wishing well.
Gee, I feel kind of silly
talking to a hole
in the ground, but...
[sighs] I sure do wish
we had a creepy caper again.
Well, here goes nothing.
[coin plops in water]
Like, I didn't know
Fred was so broken up
about this.
Yeah, I never thought
he'd believe in something
as crazy as a wishing well.
Must be pretty serious.
Maybe it wouldn't be
the worst thing in the world
to try his idea.
-[gasps]
-Here he comes.
Sorry about that.
It wasn't my grandma
after all. [chuckles nervously]
So now, where were we?
What?
[indistinct chatter]
Now, like, just to be clear,
the plan is
we work the festival
during the day,
and then at sundown,
-we all go out
trick-or-treating, right?
-Mm-hmm.
Of course, Shaggy.
Now, why don't you and Scooby
go work the crowd a little?
See if you can
lead some customers
over here.
And who's to say
we don't find
some succulent snackage
as well!
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!
What can I do to help?
Oh, uh...
Why don't you
put the guest book
on the table?
[sardonically] Fine.
I hope I can handle that.
Oh, I guess I can.
Oh, and maybe open it
so people are encouraged
to sign it.
Got it, Fred.
It's not rocket science.
[loudly] Detectives here!
Anybody need a detective?
Hey, Shaggy, look.
[gasps]
Oh, boy. Oh, boy. Oh, boy.
You know what?
We've been working pretty hard,
Scooby-Doo.
Like, it couldn't hurt
to stop for a healthy snack,
right?
[laughs] No, sir. Not at all.
Why is no one
visiting our table?
And just
how are we supposed
to compete with that?
[all gasp] Oh.
[indistinct chatter]
[bleats]
[groans]
Three, two, one, bob!
[eerie music playing]
[Nefario growls]
[retches]
[screaming]
Was that what I think it was?
It sure seemed like a...
[both] Ghost!
We have to tell the gang.
-[screeching]
-Hold on.
This could, like,
seriously impede our chances
of trick-or-treating.
Dude, let's say nothing.
[both whistling tune]
Hey, fellas,
any luck
finding new mysteries for us
to solve?
What? Oh, [laughs] no, no.
Not much going on, really.
Definitely no ghouls or ghosts
lurking about.
-[laughs nervously]
-[Scooby-Doo trembling]
How have things been over here?
Like, any big mysteries
come our way
while we were gone?
Uh, what's wrong with Scooby?
[whining]
My good bud, Scooby-Doo here,
is just so excited
about Halloween
he can hardly contain himself.
Ix-nay on the ost-ghay.
-[screams]
-Man!
[screaming] We saw a-a-a ghost!
-Sorry, Shaggy.
-[sighs wearily]
Oh, I get it.
You're just trying
to keep our hopes up
because we're not getting
any bites.
We'll just have to hunker down.
If we stay put,
I'm sure a new case
will show up
before... too... long.
I'm here for you, Mystery Inc.
[all screaming]
Are you guys seeing this?
Ah, my wish came true.
[growling]
[all screaming]
Uh-oh. Ahhh!
[laughs maliciously]
[explosion]
[Fred groans]
My brochures! Our guest book!
Fred, it's time to run!
[laughs maliciously]
To the Mystery Machine!
[screeching]
-[all screaming]
-[Fred] Never mind.
[Shaggy trembling]
If that ghoul is here for us,
I want to be somewhere else.
Wowie! Looks like
we got our next mystery,
and this one's got teeth!
-[both trembling]
-Good, 'cause I might need
a new set afterwards.
As soon as possible,
we'll need to round up
a list of potential suspects,
beginning with Farmer Avery
and that suspicious goat
of his.
And I'll cross reference
that list
with any recent land deals
in the area.
Great thinking, Velma.
No, wait. A ghost with a grudge
attacking us on Halloween.
There's only one person
who could be behind this.
I think
it's time we pay a visit
to our old pal Coco Diablo.
[shouting] I love that idea!
I mean, you know,
it's, um, hmm...
It's completely,
logically sound.
[chuckles nervously]
-I like it, too.
-Really?
But there's no time to lose.
Because, like,
we gotta solve this case
in time to go
trick-or-treating, right?
[school bell ringing]
[door buzzer sounding]
[gates open]
Before I show you even more
of the high tech modifications
I've made to the facility,
I just want to say
what a tremendous honor it is
to welcome you here.
I'm a huge fan of Mystery Inc.
Yeah, man,
you already said that.
Three times already.
Well, I can't say it enough,
given how your mystery solving
has kept my prison
at full capacity
over the years.
[indistinct shouting]
You meddling kids!
Try not to let
any of these goons upset you.
Mystery Inc?
More like mystery stink.
[laughing maniacally]
Shut your trap!
How dare you
disrespect my friends
like that,
you filthy crook!
[breathing heavily]
It's okay, Warden Collins.
Wasn't even a very good burn.
I'll show them.
I'll show them all.
[Scooby-Doo] Oh! [trembling]
What are you doing, man?
Don't worry. Watch.
I'm free! [laughing maniacally]
[screaming]
Watch the pretty coin of gold,
and you will do
as you are told.
[laughing maniacally]
Invisible force field.
I designed it myself.
Gets them every time.
Oh, you got to let me show you
our new state-of-the-art
robotic chef.
You just have to see this thing
flip pancakes!
Raggy, did he just say
pancakes?
[chomps]
Wait, wait, wait! No!
Like, keep it together, buddy.
We need to stay focused.
Remember, time is candy.
Oh, right. Candy.
Yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah!
I'm cool. Tell him, Shaggy.
Never thought I'd say this,
but, man, there's no time
for pancakes today.
As fun as this tour has been,
we're here
to talk to Coco Diablo.
Oh, of course.
You kids, [chuckles]
such professionals.
Right this way.
Anyhoo, you're lucky
you caught Miss Diablo on a day
where she doesn't have
too many press events planned.
Uh... [grunting, struggling]
-[Scooby-Doo groans]
-I don't mean to be rude, dude,
but we're on
a bit of a schedule here.
[grunting, struggling]
[pants] No, no, I got it.
[laughs nervously]
Just give me a sec.
[door buzzer sounding]
You have four minutes.
Oh, heck, since it's you,
take as long as you need.
[sinister music playing]
Well, well, well.
Look who it is.
Jinkies!
You don't seem surprised
to see us.
Word travels fast in here.
Heard you're having
a bit of a ghoul problem.
[laughs slyly]
Hmm, you sure do know a lot
for someone
who's been locked away.
You were behind the attack!
Case closed.
Let's get out of here, guys.
[laughs cunningly]
What makes you think
I had anything to do with it?
Do you really expect us
to believe
that the mastermind behind
all our previous mysteries
had nothing to do
with this one?
Did you see
any of my signature designs?
What mechanisms
did they use to attack you?
Did the ghoul's clothes
have built-in pockets?
Details matter.
Hmm.
Now that you mention it,
we were kind of distracted
by being--
Terrified! His face was like...
[growls]
And he, uh...
So we were like, "Ruh-roh!"
Normally,
I'm much more observant.
There was a lot happening
at once.
Too bad. If I had been there,
I bet
I could have narrowed it down
to two or three copycats
of my work.
Wait a second. That's it!
Maybe you could help us
crack the case.
Sure, it'll be a tight squeeze
in the van,
but nothing we can't handle.
Right?
Actually,
that's not a bad idea.
After all, Coco is well-versed
in the minds of criminals.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, hang on.
We need to carefully
and meticulously consider this.
Oh, boy, how long is this
going to take?
Working with the enemy
on our first case in a year
seems like
a recipe for disaster.
Huh...
But?
But at the same time,
we haven't had a case
like this in some time,
and we could be a little rusty.
A little help might be...
-Just say it already!
-This is taking forever!
...something to carefully
and meticulously consider.
[both groan]
Look, the only way
I'll agree to help
is if I could be considered
for early release.
You know, for a good behavior.
And helping Mystery Inc.
would definitely qualify
as good behavior.
But I'm just not sure
Coco can be trusted.
Look, Fred,
we need Coco's insights
to help identify these ghouls,
and she needs us
to vouch for her early release.
That's trust enough for me.
What do you think,
Warden Collins?
Well, it's pretty risky
for obvious reasons.
But if you teenagers think
it's okay,
who am I to argue? [chuckles]
But if you're leaving
the premises,
I need a safeguard.
If Coco strays out of range,
the necessary parties
will be alerted.
We just need one of you kids
to wear the matching bracelet
and serve as home base,
if you will.
I'll do it!
What? I'm curious to see
how the technology works.
You kids have fun.
Scoob, we absotively posilutely
have to speed things up here.
We've got to crack this case
before Coco and her big ideas
slow us down.
The clock's ticking!
Scoob, are you listening?
Scooby-Doo?
[dramatic music playing]
[meows]
[growls]
Esteban!
My angel of darkness!
Ahem, I mean, my angel.
[growling]
[growls]
[gasps]
Now, Coco,
if we're gonna make this work,
you play by our rules
and don't do anything
to distract from
or jeopardize this case.
Or our plans to go
trick-or-treating tonight.
So, what do you think
about bringing Coco along?
Oh, is she coming with us?
I hadn't noticed.
Yeah, it's just weird,
'cause I didn't know
convicted felons
were your type.
What? [chuckles nervously]
Type? Me? Please.
Who has time for a... a type?
We have our work
cut out for us,
and I am focused
like a laser on...
[loudly] Okay,
who am I kidding!
I'm crushing big time, Daphne!
What do I do? What do I say?
Don't overthink it.
Just be yourself.
Oh, yeah. Easy peasy.
Hmm. So this is where
the magic happens.
[chuckling] You guys
really do need help
if you're driving this.
The Mystery Machine
took a big hit,
but she's still got
what it takes
to get the job done.
[clunks]
Just like us.
[engine spluttering]
Like, maybe we should
take a different car
or a bus or something.
Are you crazy?
This is the Mystery Machine.
Oh, man!
I was afraid
you were gonna say that.
Come on, old girl.
Fred needs a new ascot.
[engine spluttering]
[engine roaring, spluttering]
[engine revving]
[screeching]
-[Mystery Machine purring]
-Boy, listen to that baby purr.
So, where are we headed, gang?
Let's take Coco
to the scene of the crime.
She might have some insights.
[whispering] Hey,
now is your chance
to talk to her.
So, uh, what made you
get into the business
of being bad?
I mean, not that
there is anything wrong
with being bad.
Wait. Oh, no,
that didn't come out right.
Good and bad are subjective.
I don't see why innovation
and helping people
solve their problems
would be considered bad.
You are so right.
You know,
one time I got detention--
Hi. Sorry to steal
my friend here,
but I need to talk to her
about anything but this.
Okay, you're doing great.
-I am?
-No.
Fred, how long
till we are there?
Uh, approximately one hour.
I guess we can kiss
all that sweet, sweet candy
goodbye.
[sighs] There's always
next year.
[Fred] Let me
set the stage for you, Coco.
Imagine an amazing
attention-grabbing booth
right here.
Why would I imagine that?
Fred thought
it would be a great way
to drum up business.
[laughing]
[fake laughter]
That was my reaction, too.
[Fred clears throat]
Excuse me,
I'm setting the stage here.
Anyway, there was a line
of potential clients
[in distance] that stretched
all the way from here
-to the very unpopular
goat-balancing act.
-[lapping] Hmm.
-Sky seemed to change colors
and the air smelled like...
-[Shaggy sniffs]
-Kettle corn!
-BRB.
No, it...
it wasn't kettle corn.
-It was like, um, more of a--
-[Coco] Propylene.
Judging by the trace amounts
of propylene glycol,
whoever's behind this
clearly lacks imagination.
So, we can assume
their techniques
will be primitive.
And since ethereal torpedoes
don't actually exist,
we're looking for
some kind of detonation device
that was triggered
via remote control.
Swoon.
Oh, yeah, sure.
We already know all of that.
Look, making monsters
may be your life's work,
but catching them is ours.
So, if you'll please
just trust our process.
-Now, uh, where was I?
-Hold that thought.
What is this?
Oh, that's just our guest book
for people to sign
and write down the mysteries
they need solved.
[all gasp]
Hmm.
You'd think
we would have noticed
something like that.
-Does that name
sound familiar to you?
-No.
Whoever it is,
this Nefario is our next clue.
We are back. What did we miss?
Did you guys solve the case?
[Coco] When I said
we should look into
who this Nefario guy is,
this isn't what I meant.
You sure do love
boring homework.
Pfft. Not me. I hate homework.
Never done a day of it
in my life.
Or have I? Who can say?
Because I am very mysterious.
[all gasp]
[bats screeching]
Ah, here it is.
The "Life and Crimes
of Friederich Nefario."
[Scooby-Doo] Oh.
[Fred] "Deep in his castle
high in the
Carpathian Mountains,
Count Friederich Nefario
gathered members
of high society
from across Europe
to form a council
with a sinister purpose.
He called them together
because they were each
uniquely suited
to carry out his grand plan.
There was
his dear friend, Daisy,
a vain and spoiled socialite
who had everything
but it was never enough.
And Helga,
a scientific genius
who knew it all.
All but the difference
between right and wrong,
that is.
And finally, Craggly
and his trusted attack dog,
Rudy,
whose insatiable appetites
often led them
down the wrong path.
And so,
on this fateful
Halloween night,
Nefario opened
the ancient tome and--"
[Velma] Wait a second.
Is it just me,
or is there something
strangely familiar
about this group?
I don't see it.
Can we please
get back to reading?
Yeah, the clock's ticking.
"Nefario opened
the ancient tome
and read from the sacred text,
inviting them to join
the most enticing fellowship
called Misery Company."
-[slurping]
-[Fred] "Upon initiation,
they would receive
the gift of eternal life,
not only outliving
their children,
but also
their children's children
and their children's
children's children
-and their children's
children's children's--"
-Man, I can't take it anymore!
Let's see here.
"According to legend..."
blah, blah, blah.
Aha, here it is.
"Misery Company
got to live forever.
But in return, they were forced
to maintain the balance
of good and evil in the world."
So, like,
if there was too much good,
they had to balance it out
with evil.
Then blah, blah,
blah, blah, blah. Boom.
The end.
That's the clue! Move on!
Shh!
[softly] Need I remind you
that you are in a library?
[all] No!
But why would
this Misery Company
be coming after us?
It's obvious.
You goody-goodies
disrupted the balance.
You caused there
to be too much good
in the world,
especially after catching me.
Now the ghouls are after you
to set the balance right again.
So, if I were you,
I'd keep an eye out
for this Nefario guy.
He's right behind me, isn't he?
[all] Mm-hmm.
No wires, huh?
Can't wait to talk shop
with whoever you are
when this is over.
Your technique
is quite impressive.
[growls]
I'm here for you!
["The Ballroom Blitz" playing]
Let's go!
On the bright side,
at least Nefario's friends
from the book
didn't decide to join him.
[laughing]
Quick. Let's split up, gang.
[ghouls shouting]
[Daisy growling]
I'm here for you!
[growling]
[gasps, chuckles nervously]
[screams]
[panting, gasps]
I'm here for you!
Me too.
[both laughing]
[both yell]
And the man at the back said
"Everyone attack"
And it turned
Into a ballroom blitz
And the girl
In the corner said
Boy, I wanna warn ya
It'll turn
Into a ballroom blitz
Ballroom blitz
Ballroom blitz
Dude, ix-nay on the andy-cay.
Relax, I got this.
[struggling]
Okay, but get me some, too.
[growls]
Zoinks!
Yikes!
[Craggly shouting]
[Nefario laughs maliciously]
[grunts]
[explosion]
[Fred grunts]
[panting]
[song stops playing]
[gasping] I don't know
how much more I can do.
I'm here for you!
Just kidding.
I was built for this stuff.
[laughs]
I'm gonna live forever!
["The Ballroom Blitz" playing]
Wow, you were able to
miniaturize the turbo pump
for the actuators?
I'm impressed.
Oh, that was easy.
The hard part
was getting comfortable
carrying rocket fuel and parts
around all day unnoticed.
Wow, I'm being myself.
Look out!
-I hate coming to the library
to do my homework.
-[screaming]
[boy screams]
[groans softly]
Awesome!
Now I have an excuse
to not do my homework!
Like, what are we gonna do?
Okay, gang, ahh,
this is just like old times.
Here's the plan.
-Let's split up and--
-[all] We just did that!
-Shh.
-[all yell]
This is all very disruptive.
I could have you banned,
you know?
[all] We know.
So, does anyone else
have a plan?
I think we're overdue
for some good ideas.
Oh! Library puns.
I've got an idea.
Yo, ghoul breath!
[growling]
[exhales]
Follow my lead.
[all] We're here for you!
You know,
I expect this kind of thing
from kids these days,
but someone as ancient as you
should really know better.
You should respect the rules!
You should respect authority!
You should respect the fact
that this is a library,
and in the library,
you be quiet!
Quick, this way.
[struggles] Oh,
some help here, please.
[all struggling]
And don't you ever
let me catch you
being loud again.
[Shaggy whimpering]
[all] We are here for you!
Shaggy, it's just a costume.
You're gonna need
to leave it behind.
No, I can't do that.
I can't trick-or-treat
without a costume.
And I can't get all that candy
unless we trick-or-treat.
One of the great paradoxes
of the universe.
[ghouls growling]
[all grunting]
[engine revving]
[engine spluttering]
Like, dude,
that was a lot of fun
and everything.
But I don't think
we're any closer
to solving this case!
Yeah, or trick-or-treating.
And now, instead of one ghoul,
we've got five after us!
What kind of dangerous road
are you leading us down, Coco?
[truck horn blows]
I'm sure that
Coco made some
brilliant observations
in the encounter we just had.
The cute one's right.
Esteban, show them
my brilliant observations.
[meows]
Black lace. Platform boots.
Tacky cloak. Top hat.
I know who is behind this.
[growls]
And I know
just where to find him.
[thunder crashing]
[door opens, howling]
Oh, my! A customer!
But what do I do?
What do I say?
Just be yourself, Trevor.
Your dark and beautiful self.
[thunder crashing]
Greetings, seeker of darkness,
and welcome to Trevor Glume's
Boutique of...
Hello, Trevor.
...Doom.
[caterwauls]
My, my!
Look how far you've come.
I'm so proud of you.
Hello, Miss Diablo.
Yes. A lot has changed
since you were...
-Well...
-[chomping]
Excuse me! Those are not food!
[retches]
Anyway, I finally
had the emotional space
to pursue
my own personal style.
[scoffs] Your own
personal style?
Just looks like
more Dracula costumes
to me, Trevor.
[mechanical laughter]
Admit it! You're trying
to steal my old business model
while I was locked away,
unable to fend for myself!
I... I don't know
what you're talking about.
I'm talking about
how you've been conspiring
to destroy Mystery Inc!
[crying] What?
Where were you an hour ago?
I was here
dealing with my multitudes
of satisfied customers.
I was very busy up
until the moment you came in.
Would you mind proving that?
I don't think that's necessary.
What does security footage
really prove anyway?
Rewind it.
Rewind it more.
-[clicks]
-[footage rewinding]
Rewind it a lot more.
-Keep going.
-[footage rewinding]
-A little more.
-[footage rewinding]
-More.
-[footage rewinding]
Stop. Go back.
Enhance image.
Enhance more.
[disappointed groans]
Well, it's sad,
but it is an alibi.
[wailing]
[blowing nose]
-Looks like--
-[blowing nose]
-Looks like...
-[sniffs] Sorry.
Looks like we've hit
another dead end.
[blowing nose]
So much for that
early release, Coco.
Oh, come on.
Can you blame me for thinking
this tacky weirdo
designed those ghoul costumes?
Maybe you'll get
some real customers
if you got some actual taste.
I do have real customers.
In fact, [blowing nose]
you should know
that I received
the biggest order of my life
just last week.
Oh, sure. With who?
Goths 'R Us?
No, that was two weeks ago.
Last week, I sent
some of my finest
Victorian creations
-directly
to Coolsville Penitentiary.
-[gasps]
[all] Coolsville Penitentiary?
What are you looking at me for?
Mr. Glume,
could we see the paperwork
for that order?
This is just the connection
we've been looking for.
Looks like
Coco might be giving us
the runaround after all.
Trevor fulfilled a big order
for someone
at the prison last week.
And Coco just so happened to be
at the prison last week.
I'm sure
it's just a misunderstanding.
Man, it's Coco.
Just like I said hours ago.
Now, can we please
wrap this up?
Ugh, what happened
to these receipts?
They're all smudged.
[crying] Haven't any of you
ever cried at work?
[gang] Oh. Hey, don't worry.
That's okay, buddy.
[crying]
[thunder crashing]
Hey, where did Coco go?
Okay, it's starting to look
less like a misunderstanding.
[stops beeping]
Oh, man, we still
haven't solved the case,
and now we've got to find
an escaped convict, too?
Worst Halloween ever!
Oh, no. Look!
I think it's time
we go and investigate
the old Diablo costume factory.
Wait a second.
Oh, for the love
of Scooby Snacks,
what now?
If we're gonna do this right,
we got to do it in style.
This is the awesome
montage part of the case
where we spruce up
the Mystery Machine.
[both groan]
Can I help?
I don't know.
[snivels]
Oh, why not?
Hurray.
["Change" playing]
Tear me down
Start all over again
Heavy sound
My heart beats
Through my chest
Hoping now
When you see my silhouette
You'll be happy
You'll be happy
With something new
I could change, rearrange
And get strange with you
If you want me to
If you want me to
Crystal clear
It's a different
Point of view
Night grows near
And without fear
I could change, rearrange
And get strange with you
If you want me to
If you want me to
I could change, rearrange
And get strange with you
If you want me to
Yeah, if you want me to
Well, it's not
what I expected, but...
it's exactly what I expected.
It is my greatest creation yet.
[creepy organ music playing]
[engine revs]
[Trevor] Farewell.
[intense music playing]
[tires screech]
I suspect
Coco tried to throw us
off her tracks
by accusing Trevor Glume.
And when that backfired,
she lured us here
so she could ambush us
at her factory.
Where she has the upper hand.
Coco has all her old
secret weapons here.
We have to stay on our toes.
Creepy.
Oh!
[cries out]
Like, really creepy.
Don't worry,
Shaggy and Scooby,
it's only mannequins.
Like, dude,
[fake laughter]
totally knew that.
Yeah, [chuckles]
we were just practicing
for the real ghouls.
Who are probably close by.
Maybe we should split up
and look for clues.
Really? You mean it?
Dude, whatever keeps us moving.
[gasps]
No question about it, guys,
we have to split up.
[Helga] Got any aces?
[Daisy] No,
you took all of them.
Wait, do you hear that?
[Nefario] You're supposed
to say, "Go fish."
That sounds like...
[Daisy] It was implied.
Us!
[Daisy] Do you have any Jacks?
[Helga] Go fish.
I think you're cheating!
What kind of fool
needs to cheat at Go Fish?
Hmm.
We might not be
able to trick tonight,
but maybe we can still treat!
[both gasp]
-Oh!
-No!
No, no, no, no!
Just our luck!
Why would I even need to cheat?
You have a terrible hand.
I do?
You're just jealous
because I'm the pretty one.
Looked in the mirror lately?
Silence, you fools!
Time is upon us
to ambush those meddling kids.
Oh, no, what should we do?
Let's see. We already split up
and looked for clues, so...
Okay, here's the plan.
We need to--
[banging]
Run!
[all] We are here for you!
[panting]
[all] Huh?
[Fred grunting]
[all gasping, whimpering]
[growling]
[Fred] Whoa!
[groans]
[shrieking]
[Helga growls]
[groaning, shrieking]
[coughing]
[groaning]
Whoa!
[shrieking]
[all groaning]
I always knew
I was the complete package,
but this is ridiculous.
Help!
Somebody help us!
Help!
[distant shouting]
Help! Anybody!
Zoinks! Like, is that
what I'm think it is, Scoob?
[distant shouting] Help us!
Please help us!
-Anybody help us!
-Yeah, it is.
What do we do?
Mm-hmm.
We got to do the one thing
that we don't want to do.
Oh, no.
By giving up
doing the one thing
that we do want to do.
You mean...
I do!
Hey, ghouls,
don't forget about me
and Scooby-Doo.
Yeah. This whole franchise
is named after me.
[growling]
[both gasp]
[Nefario] We are here for you!
Oh, sorry.
Thought you were somebody else.
So long trick-or-treating.
[screaming]
[machine stops]
I guess we'll never know
who those ghouls really were.
[all] Robots?
We're here for...
[machines stop]
So if the ghouls were robots,
that means
someone was controlling them.
And I'm pretty sure it was--
[Coco] Me.
[all gasp]
That's right. I did it all.
I built the robots
and programmed them
to get back at you
for taking me down.
[all] Huh?
Oh, oh, and I would have
gotten away with it, too,
if it wasn't
for you meddling kids.
[all] Hmm.
[all] Hmm.
[all] Hmm.
[all] Hmm.
Even though I suspected
you were behind it
the whole time,
something about this
doesn't feel right.
Agreed.
Seems a little too easy.
And this confession
doesn't seem
like your style, Coco.
And where is Esteban?
Hmm. [sniffs]
Hmm. [sniffing]
Like, hey, I think
Scooby's on to something.
What is it, Scooby?
Come on, let's follow him.
[sniffing]
Esteban is in here.
No! Don't look in there,
please!
And someone else, too.
Oh, boy. Oh, boy.
I bet whoever that is
is the one
who's really behind this.
But, uh, just to be clear,
when we open this door,
we'll be done with the case,
and who knows
when the next one might--
-[Velma] Open it, Fred.
-You bet.
[all gasp]
[muted meows]
[all] Warden Collins!
Hi, Mystery Inc.
So, it was Warden Collins
behind this assault
on Mystery Inc. the whole time?
Only the Warden
is technologically savvy enough
to program robots
this advanced.
And, like, obsessed
with Mystery Inc. enough
to make them look just like us.
And only the Warden
had the ability to free Coco
from her tracking bracelet.
He brought her here,
then took her adorable
kitty cat hostage...
Not that adorable.
...in order
to force a confession
out of her.
But why?
You kids may not know this,
but I'm your biggest fan.
You've given me
ten times as many inmates
for my prison
than the Coolsville
Police Department.
Hey, now that's cold, but true.
But after putting away
Coco Diablo,
all your cases dried up.
And when I saw
how desperate you all were
for an exciting new mystery,
I just wanted to do something
to repay the favor.
I wanted to give you
the most exciting mystery
of your young lives.
I used the technology
I perfected at my prison
to construct
the scariest ghouls
I could imagine.
Evil doppelgangers
of my heroes!
Then I carefully
planted clues all over town.
[giggles]
And when
Coco Diablo got involved,
I knew that
she would be the perfect dupe
to pin it all on
because she was already
serving hard time.
No harm, no foul.
[scoffs]
[caterwauling]
So, this was all
just a big favor for us?
Mm-hmm.
Maybe there really can be
too much of a good thing.
But you were never
in any real danger
because I could always
turn off my evil robots
with a push of the button.
-[digital beeping]
-Oops. [laughs]
That one deactivates
all the security force fields
at the prison.
Well, turn it back on!
Right. Of course. [panicking]
Uh, wait, wait.
Which one was that again?
Uh... Wait, wait, wait. Uh...
[beeping stops]
Oops.
What's this now?
Another one
of the warden's tricks?
It's a Halloween miracle!
[laughs maniacally]
We're free. Free!
[laughing]
[all shouting] Free! [cheering]
[panting]
[indistinct shouting]
[panting]
I think
"oops" is the wrong word,
Warden.
I know,
but this is a family movie.
All right, gang,
it looks like our work
isn't even close to done.
Maybe you should try
not to look so happy.
You're right, Shaggy.
That's something
that I'm working on.
We've got to do something.
But we're no match
against so many villains.
Yeah, you'd have to have
some kind of super powers
to stand a chance.
But don't worry, kids,
Coolsville Police Department--
I might be
able to help with that.
Esteban.
Like, Scoob,
maybe we didn't miss out
on Halloween after all.
Uh-uh, no way.
Like, come on, Scoob,
it's the only costume left.
Come on, Scoob,
you're ruining it for everyone.
Humph.
[shouting, cheering]
Give it to me,
you little banister biter!
[laughs maliciously]
Hey, you didn't say
trick-or-treat!
Ha-ha, too easy!
[crying] Mommy!
Mine!
[laughs maliciously]
[tires screech]
Okay, gang, let's split up,
and nab us some convicts.
Hey, there's one now.
Hope you miss prison food
because you're going
right back to...
Oh, apologies.
You have
a very convincing costume.
Have a great night.
And stay safe.
Geesh. Grown-ups. Go figure.
[Daphne] Come on, gang,
let's get to work.
[gasping]
Hello, children.
Not much exercise in jail.
That candy you're holding
looks quite valuable to me.
I'll appraise it and offer you
a competitive price for it.
What are you talking about,
mister?
It's called stealing, kid.
[laughs mischievously]
Wait! What's it worth?
[Fred] Now,
if I were an escaped convict,
where would I hide?
-[clinks]
-Oh!
Hey, Mr. Wickles,
what a night for a knight, huh?
Is this that karma
everybody's
always talking about?
[grunting]
Huh? What the...
Oh! It can't be!
Sorry, Captain Cutler.
Didn't mean to dampen
your Halloween spirit.
[laughs maliciously]
Boo! [gasps]
[laughing evilly]
[screams]
Oh, Henry Bascombe,
you were always such a scream.
[in monotone] You want to
give me all your candy.
[both] We want to give you
all our candy.
[Shaggy] Wouldn't you rather
teach this evil doer a lesson?
[both] Yes!
No. No!
[Shaggy] My work here is done.
[Harry groaning]
[doorbell rings]
Hand over all of that
there candy or else.
[meows]
Kitty!
Oh, such a sweet little
shmochy-woochie.
Yes, you are.
Forgot I'm allergic.
[sneezing]
Dagnabbit!
[Olive screaming]
Scooby-Dooby-Doo!
[convicts grunting]
[all grumbling]
[Daphne] Wow,
look at us. We did it.
Coco's costumes
sure were a big help.
When you use these costumes
for good,
they're not all bad.
Okay, time to
take this riff-raff
back to prison.
[blows whistle, clears throat]
Now, when I call your name,
please say--
Not so fast!
Empty your pockets!
[indistinct shouting]
[shrieking, trembling]
Do as the scrawny
hippy commands!
You know
you can't eat that candy,
right?
It's stolen.
But, like, didn't you say
good and bad are subjective?
Only when it applies to me.
-Oh, so close!
-Yet so far away.
[sighs]
For some reason,
everyone thinks
I'm wearing a costume
and keeps giving me candy.
I'm on a strict liver
and goat-milk regimen,
but I thought
you two might enjoy it.
[chomping]
You know, Trevor, [gulps]
despite your dark
and gloomy exterior,
deep down,
you're a golden ray
of sunshine.
You... you really think so?
Like, no question
about it, man.
Absolutely.
Well, how about that?
You were totally right!
[laughs]
Catch you dudes later!
Thanks for your help today.
I'd like to think
that under different
circumstances,
we'd really get along.
Oh, really?
Oh, there I go
saying the wrong thing again.
No, it's just that I thought
we got along great.
Do you know
how rare it is for me
to like someone
other than myself?
Jinkies!
My glasses.
I can't find my glasses.
Friends.
No.
[both] Agreed.
[giggles]
So, I've been meaning
to talk to you, Freddy.
[sighs] I was thinking
about, you know,
my role in the gang.
What do you mean?
No offense, Fred,
but I think I should be
the leader of Mystery Inc.,
not you.
Whoa!
That's a strange thing to say.
I'm sorry.
I know it sounds crazy,
but I just feel like--
But, Daphne, you've always been
the leader of Mystery Inc.
Wait, seriously?
You remain calm under pressure,
you're the person
that everyone turns to
for advice,
and you make it all
look effortless.
That's what a true leader does.
Inspires others
to do their best,
and leads by example.
I have a much more important
and prestigious duty
[chuckling] of driving the van!
[groaning]
Like, if tonight
has taught us anything,
it's that
you really can have
too much of a good thing.
Right, Scooby-Doo?
Another great paradox
of the universe.
Well, with this case
all wrapped up,
Coco Diablo back behind bars,
and the prison
getting a new warden...
Wait, Charlie Humdrum,
the tax accountant?
I'm used to
working with criminals.
I guess things will go back
to being pretty quiet again
in Coolsville.
Not necessarily!
I got to say
whatever magic this is,
you did a bang-up job.
I wish for more cases,
as many cases
as you can throw our way.
Big cases, spooky cases,
wild cases, we're ready!
Thanks, wishing well.
And hey, Happy Halloween.
