Scooby and the gang are back, and this time, they come to Oakhaven at the invitation of horror writer Ben Ravencroft. However, the place has become a tourist trap due to the new puritan village, and the sightings of the ghost of a witch named Sarah Ravencroft. This begins a new mystery, but things are not what they seem.
This is a good animated movie. Like its predecessor, Scooby-Doo On Zombie Island, the film has a good mix of horror and comedy. The movie also introduces memorable characters like the Hex Girls (who would re-appear in a future DTV movie, as well as an episode of What's New, Scooby-Doo?),and the twist near the end is something I would never expect from Scooby. This is one worth watching.

A Hauntingly Good Movie
Best Scooby Doo movie out there
I started watching the original show when I first got the Cartoon Network, and as soon as I found out that they were making movies separate to the usual formula of fake villains, I just had to check 'em out.
Don't get me wrong; Zombie Island was cool too, but this one in particular is by far my favorite.
This has got to be one of the best of these movies simply because of the fact that the gang faces off against a conjured ghost... it also sheds some much-needed light on the differences between wiccans and witches.
Not only is the plot a draw, but the music was pretty cool too. The Hex Girls were pretty killer for an animated band.
All in all, I really enjoyed this movie. I even look for it every October.
9/10
My personal favourite of the Scooby Doo movies
This is very good. The animation is great, so beautifully done the backgrounds were,the story is neatly-set up, and this is the movie with the best voice talent. The only criticism with the movie is the song "wind, earth, fire and air" as the lyrics are rather uninspired. Tim Curry does a fantastic job in one of his most entertaining voice overs, especially when Ben is revealed evil, and Curry is allowed to show off his impeccable villainous side. The ending is quite good, and the Hex Girls are great. The ghost is 400 years old, so the language is obviously going to be different, comprehend. This is one of the best Scooby Doo movies, better than What's New Scooby Doo? anyway. Watch out for Goblin King and Zombie Island too. In case you haven't noticed, most of my reviews are positive, because I want to be encouraging about the films I've seen, and evaluate the problems also. 9/10. Bethany Cox
