Scooby-Doo's Creepiest Capers

The better improvement is the addition of subtitles fact that previous Scooby Dvds doesn't have.

I hope that the next releases of Scooby Dvds(Classic 69,70's episodes) include different episodes not mixed new and old material.

These are all excellent Scooby Doo episodes from 1969 and 70 that every Scooby collection should have.
You can tell that some of previous reviewers are talking about what are available on VHS releases which is different from what is currently on DVD. Currently, there is only 1 duplicated episode ("Hassle in the Castle") that is also on the DVD release Scooby Doo Original Mysteries. For the other four episodes, this is their first release on DVD.
However, I do agree with the statement that there shouldn't be any duplicates at all. I guess Warner Home Video is taking a lesson from Disney on how to sell more albums by mixing older and newer material together. And I'm sure we will see more duplicates in future releases. So my future ratings will probably drop as there is less original material.

We have this movie on vhs. I came here to find in on dvd because my child wants to watch this 2 to 3 times a day, and our vcr munched the begining of this tape. I have a hard time telling him that he has watched to much tv. This is not a one storey movie, like Zombie Island. This has several shorter "Episodes". We really like it. My son is 3 by the way. Buy it and enjoy.

If you don't buy this video tape today, don't call yourself a fan of Scooby Doo. This contains 4 of Scooby's best episodes! The FIRST episode contains creepy story of a ghost ship. The story starts normal, and gradually lets us into the tale of terror. The scenery is spooky and well done. The seperation of the gang on the ghost ship builds suspense. Daphne and Velmah take a crack at some comical one liners. (Kind of intrude on Shaggy's territory!) Well, moving on, there is a hilarious moment when Scooby and Shaggy have to buy time by cooking an unusual pirate stew! Later, clues start appearing, and we discover that this so called ghost ship may actually be linked to some human criminal activity. Shaggy's guess at the password is well done. 'Yum, yum, yum, and a liverwurst alamode. Wow! What a password!' We also get to see how brave Scooby and Shaggy can be with a few Scooby snacks! The SECOND episode is also really good. It's the old inheritance story, but with a Scooby twist. Scooby may inherit a fortune, but will he survive through the night? It has a nice creepy beginning, but they don't forget to put the laughs in. The gradual transition from normal to creepy is also well done. There is also the interesting guest star. (Cousin Slicker) Shaggy's one liners are ofcourse there: 'I gotta be brave. I gotta be brave. I gotta be brave. I gotta...I gotta be some kind of nut!' The THIRD episode is flat out hilarious. The gang lands on an island, and soon find themselves in a spooky castle. There is a hilarious scene where Velmah must carry Shaggy, Fred, and Scooby in a panic. The disappearance of Daphne creates suspense. Good! Shaggy's great one liners are ofcourse there. GHOST: "I warned you to leave. Now you must all pay." SHAGGY: "I'll pay! I'll pay! How about 4 bits?" The villain is an unusually good loser in this episode, and he even offers a bit of charm. The FINAL episode keeps with the strength of this tape. The gang gets lost and finds themselves by a haunted mansion with ghosts. There is a great deal of suspense as they face the possible danger of a headless ghost. Shaggy's one liners are ofcourse there. When asked if he and Scooby are curious as to what is going on he boldly says: "NOT IN THE LEAST!" The scenery is plausible, but yet carries a spooky charm. I don't want to ruin the ending, but there is a charming deviation from the normal routine as far as the typical unmasking ceremony goes. These are 4 of Scooby's best episodes. Don't miss them! SIDE NOTE: If you buy this Scooby tape, you don't need: "The Haunted House Hangup." Because both episodes on this tape are present on "Scooby's Creepiest Capers."

I personally love this video, as does my 3 yr old son. Call me old-fashioned, but to me the original Scooby-Doo episodes will always be the best. I loved these as a child, and they are just as wonderful today. I guess I prefer watching the orig. instead of seeing some other person's interpretation of the characters, with different voices and animation. I know when watching this video that I'm seeing the "real" Scooby Doo.
