Cartoon
The 13 Ghosts of Scooby-Doo

Animal
Warlock without the soul for getting down

Outfit: suit / cape / bling / creamy horror film-stalwart filling

Tagline: "Only you can return the demons to the chest." Seriously, he said it all the time. When Jenny McCarthy had her implants removed he was all, ""Only you can return the demons to the chest." And then he started switching it up. Like when the bald Wayans brother stopped playing strategy games in the park with him, and he ran up to Keenan Ivory and said, "Only you can return the Damons to the chess."

Plot summary: "Scooby and Shaggy are tricked by ghosts Bogle and Wierd into opening a chest of demons. With the aide of Daphne, Scrappy, an orphan named Flim Flam and warlock Vincent Van Ghoul, they have to return the 13 demons to the chest"

What. The. Fuck.

Okay. Okay okay okay. Scooby-Doo has a pretty easy plot to get down: Dorky teens. Talking dog. Van. Mysteries. So why does this look like such a clusterfuck? Where are Velma and Fred? Did they go all Caruso and decide not to return that season? Of course not! They're cartoons. What, did they slip a twenty to some animator on the sly and have him draw them little contracts stating that they refused to work on any poorly thought-out spin-off series involving orphans and plots ripped off from shitty movies from the '60's?

Speaking of which . . .Flim Flam? FLIM FLAM? ARE YOU KIDDING ME?? This franchise already had it's cousin Oliver in the form of Scrappy-Doo, whom everyone hated. Why then add a second orphan with a monikor so stupid the Flintstones would have beaten his ass for being "funny." Damn, no wonder nobody would adopt him. (more)

User Comments: You gotta love how Vincent Van Ghoul is essentially dressed how we all kind of expect Vincent Price to be dressed. Like, if your mom threw a tupperware party and invited everyone she knew, all the other moms would show up in jeans and big sweatshirts that hide their baby tummy, but Price would still be rockin' the cape and the bling. I mean, the character is a warlock, they could have at least given him a stupid hat. But maybe Vincent Price really WAS a warlock, and they dressed him in his everyday where because, hell, who would know how a warlock dressed better than the man himself? But really, if we are to believe that Vincent Price, pop culture icon whose rap stylings managed to wake the dead, is actually a conjurur of black magic, wouldn't he have, I don't know, fixed Edward's hands?

Damnit, I've lost the ability to discern between fiction and reality again. OH MY MEDICATION!!1
