Scooby-Doo Movies
Most of the Scooby-Doo movies follow a similar format to the tv shows, where the gang investigates a spooky mystery but the ghosts and monsters turn out to be human villains in disguise. There are exceptions to this format, however. Personally, I prefer the classic fake ghosts to the real ones, but I know that some people feel differently, and some would rather not know what's real and what's fake until they see the shows. But, for those who really want to know one way or the other, maybe before showing the movies to kids, I've decided to provide hidden spoiler sections under each movie description so that those who want to know can click on them to see a brief spoiler that explains which ghosts and monsters are real. The only exception will be movies where it is obvious immediately that there are real ghosts or monsters because there are some of those.
Animated Movies
Most of the Scooby-Doo movies are animated, although there are a few that are live-action.
Scooby-Doo Meets the Boo Brothers (1987)
Shaggy inherits an old plantation from his uncle, Colonel Beauregard. At first, the local sheriff tries to warn Shaggy, Scooby, and Scrappy away from the estate, saying that it's haunted, but they decide to go there anyway. When they arrive, they are chased by different ghosts, including the ghost of the Colonel. However, the manservant of the house, Farquard, also tells them that there is a hidden fortune on the property. Farquard says that he thinks that the fortune, a collection of jewels, should really belong to him, and he doesn't want Shaggy on the estate. Because of the ghosts, Shaggy really wants to leave, but his truck gets caught in quicksand, and they are forced to stay at the plantation over night.
Scrappy decides that what they really need is ghost exterminators, and he calls some. However, the exterminators, the Boo Brothers, turn out to be ghosts themselves, and they don't seem to be much help in catching the ghosts that haunt the plantation.
Much of the movie parodies old dark house movies as Shaggy, Scooby, and Scrappy hunt for the hidden treasure and face off against the ghosts of the house.
Show Spoiler
Spoiler:
Although the Boo Brothers are real ghosts, the other ghosts that Shaggy, Scooby, and Scrappy see are fake, just criminals out to get the treasure for themselves. After they find the treasure, and the criminals are unmasked, Shaggy gives the old house to the Boo Brothers, who need a house of their own to haunt, and he gives the money to charity. The ghost of Colonel Beauregard also turns out to be real, but Shaggy and the dogs just leave quickly, so they don't have to deal with it.
Scooby-Doo and the Ghoul School (1988)
Shaggy, Scooby, and Scrappy get jobs as gym teachers at a school, Miss Grimwood's Finishing School for Girls. HOwever, when they arrive, they discover that it's really a school for ghouls! All of the girls at the school are the daughters of famous monsters, like Dracula, Frankenstein's monster, the werewolf, and the mummy. Shaggy and Scooby are scared and want to leave immediately, but the headmistress and the girls persuade them to stay.
The girl/ghoul school is next door to a military academy with normal human boys, and the two schools sometimes meet for volleyball matches. The boys know that the girls at the school are pretty weird, but they always win against them at volleyball. The reason why the girls want new gym teachers is so that they can finally start winning. In spite of their fear, Shaggy and the dogs help the girls to train, using ballet to help build up their strength. They win the next volleyball match when Scooby accidentally interferes with the boys' attempts to cheat.
However, danger soon threatens the school and the girls. A witch called Revolta has a plot to hypnotize the girls and turn them evil. Shaggy, Scooby, and Scrappy have to save them with the help of the boys from the military school!

However, because Sir Ian is a dedicated skeptic, she couldn't persuade him to look at her photographs and believe her. Since he was coming for the games, she decided to creat a fake monster (a couple of them actually, one for walking on land and one for being in the water) so that Sir Ian could have his own sightings and be more inclined to believe hers. She recruited a couple of local practical jokers to help her, and they agreed to participate just for the thrill of it.
