Reception[]
John Rozum returns to Scooby-Doo and in fine fettle. The first story should be a hoary and hokey haunted house chestnut, but Rozum with Joe Staton just energizes it into a fun, fitting Scooby Snack. How do they do it? The unusual camera angles create visual excitement to something tried and true. The caricature faces of the caretakers bring a freshness to the proceedings. The timing of the Shaggy and Scooby sight gag recalls the magic of the show and invites the reader into the fun by making the tale somewhat more interactive. The polish also comes in the surprising realism inherent in Scooby-Doo which has always been based upon skepticism. When Shaggy's and Scooby's antics interrupt the rest of the Gang's sleep, they come out of their rooms not perfect but ruffled. Their hair looks out of place, and they look a little tired. Some big budget movies even ignore such details.[1]
