Shaggy: Maybe I shouldn't have taken this job as a gym teacher.
Scrappy Doo: Don't worry about it, Shaggy, you'll do great, and I'll make a great assistant, I've been working out, see?
[picks up a barbell but falls so that the barbell is stuck between the back doors of the van]
Shaggy: Zoinks! He's not only working out, he's falling out!
Scrappy Doo: [Still hanging onto the barbell] Whee! I bet this is great for building up my shoulder muscles.

User Reviews

Nice Scooby Feature

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.
