MOVIE REVIEW | 'SCOOBY-DOO 2'
All-American Teenagers in Pursuit of Pseudospirits
By DAVE KEHR

Published: March 26, 2004

..........

Where "Harry Potter" offended some conservative Christians with its
apparent endorsement of witchcraft and sorcery, "Scooby-Doo" threatens
to do the same by steadfastly denying the existence of any
transcendent dimension. In the strictly secular-humanist world of
"Scooby-Doo," there are no real ghosts, but only humans desperate for
attention who disguise themselves as supernatural figures. The
episodes end with a ritual unmasking, in which a feared apparition ?
like the Pterodactyl Ghost, the Black Knight Ghost, Captain Cutler's
Ghost and the 10,000-Volt Ghost ? is revealed as a mewling fraud.

Actually, that would be just the series (and the live-action movie),
by the time they got to direct-to-video movie production, they had
vampires and werewolves, later on they had zombies, cat-people,
witches and all sorts of bizarre creatures. (I actually got to miss
the rubber masks!)
