naters-96502 The Ghoul School was the movie I grew up w/ so it holds meaning to me more then the others...my brother & I always liked the van Shaggy, Scooby & Scrappy were driving during the opening credits w/ the workout equipment in the back. I thought this film was funny w/ pretty good characters throughout & of course Matches who is a pet, little fire-breathing green dragon. It also had a good, slightly creepy feel to it that I also identify w/ in other 80's cartoons. The private boys school next door to the ghoul school was funny & seemed like a perfect scenario for our Scooby trio...good beginning & good ending. Loved it.

meganphipps I LOVE THIS ANIMATED MOVIE. This was one of my favourite Scooby Doo movies growing up and they don't do movies like this anymore well animated movies anyway. I loved all the Scooby Doo movies when I was growing up, they were different and it always represented the TV programme in a good way. The characters are amazing, you can't go wrong with a classic Scooby Doo, Shaggy and Scrappy Doo adventure. One of my favourite characters has to be Isabella (Dracula's Daughter) she just amazing especially with some of her one liners and she also wheres my favourite colour Purple. One of my favourite moments has to be when they are playing the volleyball game against the Callway boys. If you like classic animation or classic Scooby Doo then this is for you. it's Fangtastic

Michael_Elliott Scooby-Doo and the Ghoul School (1988) *** (out of 4) Good feature has Scooby, Scrappy and Shaggy going to a "school" that is attended by famous monster's children. At this female school they play an annual volleyball game against a military academy and Shaggy has been hired to make them winners. The first sixty-minutes of this feature are absolutely delightful with all sorts of laughs but sadly it really runs out of gas and barely makes it to the end. At 90-minutes it just runs way too long and the second portion of the film has a fairly weak story involving someone at the school trying to take it over with a new kind of evil. I thought the final thirty-minutes really dragged in spots and nearly ruined the entire film but the first part is just so good that horror fans should really enjoy it. I thought some of the best moments involved the monster children and the nice homages to previous movies. We get Count Dracula's daughter, a mummy, a werewolf and Frankenstein's daughter who is made up to look like the Bride and of course she's named Elsa (Lancaster from the 1935 film). We also get some pretty good jokes once the parents show up and of course they're enough to scare Shaggy and Scooby. Fans of the TV show should really enjoy this and monster fans will also have a good time with the creatures on hand.

Maziun I was something of a Scooby Doo fan when I was younger, and seeing this movie recently brought back some good childhood memories. This movie and "Scooby Doo and the reluctant werewolf" were my favourite animated movies when I was a little kid. Now , of course I look at it differently , but I still have got a soft spot for it in my heart.This was made after the "13 Ghosts" series, so Fred, Velma and Daphne are not in it. Shaggy wears a red shirt and blue pants and he has a red Mystery Machine. This might be a problem for the hardcore fans , but not for me. The story reminds me kind of a mix between "Police academy" and "The Addams family" . It's quite refreshing to see Scooby,Shaggy and Scrappy with REAL monsters , not some costumed villains. Matches, the "pet" dragon of the boarding school, is really great . The other characters are also catchy and very likable . Our heroes at first are scared of the girls, but later Shaggy and Scooby actually warm up to the girls.This movie lacks sense sometimes - private school with only five girls ,the boys don't seem to notice or mind that girls are ghouls , during the volleyball match the players break all the rules. Still , the movie is charming , the humour is nice , characters likable and the voice-acting is fantastic.I give it 6/10.
