Premise[]
Mystery Inc. come to the lend a hand at an old Hollywood movie studio after it comes under attack from old movie monsters.
Synopsis[]
Junior watches the studio after hours, hears strange noises and finds himself face-to-face with a figure with a pumpkin for a head.
While trying to solve the mystery of a sea creature haunting a lighthouse, Shaggy complains to Scooby about how Fred, Daphne and Velma always bribe them into being monster bait with Scooby Snacks. As a result, Shaggy and Scooby decide to not eat Scooby Snacks again. After they solve the mystery, the gang goes to the malt shop where Shaggy and Scooby win a hamburger eating contest and win the whole gang a trip to Hollywood.
Once they arrive, they first visit Brickton Studios, an old horror film studio that is about to be closed down. The studio's employee Junior, an avid fan of horror films, welcomes them and offers to give them a tour. Joining them on the tour is Atticus Fink, a developer who wants to buy and level the studio. During the tour, they drive their truck through a dark storage facility, causing Fink to leave. After Fink leaves, a Headless Horseman appears and chases the gang.
After they escape, they go to ask the manager, Chet Brickton, about their encounter. Brickton tells them that all the monsters used to be played by an actor named Boris Karnak, who died years ago and that his ghost may have come back to haunt the studios through various costumes of the monsters he played. In addition to the Headless Horseman, there have also been sightings of a mummy and a zombie, which is why he must sell the studio to Fink to avoid bankruptcy. The gang offers to help Brickton solve the mystery.
First, the gang goes to the set of a romantic comedy film that the studio is currently working on, to Junior's displeasure. Suddenly the Headless Horseman attacks and ruins the set, making Brickton forlorn. The gang offers to help him finish the movie. Brickton appoints Fred as the director and casts Shaggy in the lead. Brickton then casts TV show talk host Drella Diabolique as the female lead, to Daphne's dismay. After a long film making process, a mummy attacks and destroys the set.
Later, Fred and Velma go to look for clues, while Drella coaches Daphne on being a movie star. Finding his footage unharmed, Fred decides to continue filming his movie. While shooting a particularly extravagant scene involving a plane, both the Headless Horseman and the zombie appear. After Scooby has a wild ride on the plane and the monsters disappear,
The next day, Brickton reluctantly signs the studio over to Fink, to Junior's sadness.
Velma mentions that the Headless Horseman and the zombie appeared at the same time, meaning the ghost of Boris Karnak cannot be in two places at once. The gang decides to capture the monsters and solve the mystery.
They spend the whole day preparing the set of the Grimsley Mansion for their trap and Fink notices their work.
The gang heads back to the studio and with Drella's help and Fred's elaborate trap, they catch the zombie and the Headless Horseman. The Headless Horseman is revealed to be Fink, who used the costume to get a cheap ownership of the studio. Velma notes that Fink ran off just before the horseman first attacked them and notices that when he reappeared that he was blinking a lot which is natural for someone who had just been blinded. Her suspicion was confirmed when she noticed his decor in his office which showed that he was an accomplished horseman. Even though Fink declared victory since Brickton signed the contract, Daphne tells Fink that the evidence of fraud in the buyer's term, violates the terms of his contract, making it null and void as the police take Fink away. The zombie is revealed to be Junior, who was also the mummy but for a different motive. Drella tells them that he is actually Boris Karnak Jr., who wanted to carry on his father's legacy. Brickton orders and allows Junior to go free, but says that the studio will still have to close down due to lack of a movie. They then realize that the security cameras have recorded the gang being chased by the monsters and decide to make a found footage movie.
The movie titled Security Cam Monsters: The Adventure Begins has its Hollywood premiere. Bryan Lakeshore interviews the arrivals of Brickton and his date Drella, Junior, and then Fred, Daphne, and Velma, having arrived in the Mystery Machine, instead of a limo. Fred and Daphne announce their retirements as director and actress, respectively, as short as it may have been. Suddenly, Scooby and Shaggy make a grand entrance in a plane. They get out to a crowd of people wanting their autographs, which they decline, until someone bribes them with a Scooby Snack. They figure that they were bait even without eating Scooby Snacks, so they accept one Scooby Snack per autograph. As the movie is announced to begin, the gang, Brickton, Drella, and Junior pose together for a group selfie, while saying "Scooby-Dooby-Doo."

Notes/Trivia[]
- Kidzworld originally reported a May 3 release,[1] before Warner Bros. Home Entertainment officially announced it as May 10.[2]
- The opening mystery is a reimagining of the What's New, Scooby-Doo? episode Fright House of a Lighthouse.
- Verona Dempsey's additional disguise as the lighthouse keeper is identical to her original counterpart's costume as the Creepy Keeper, while her main disguise as the Sea Creature is similar to the Sea Demon in the The New Scooby-Doo Mysteries episode Scoo-Be or Not Scoo-Be?
- In the LEGO toyline, the new character, Mr. Brown, is actually the Sea Creature.
- Verona Dempsey's additional disguise as the lighthouse keeper is identical to her original counterpart's costume as the Creepy Keeper, while her main disguise as the Sea Creature is similar to the Sea Demon in the The New Scooby-Doo Mysteries episode Scoo-Be or Not Scoo-Be?
- Grey Griffin is uncredited as the voice of Verona Dempsey. She also sounds different to the past incarnation.
- Crystal Cove was originally the hometown of the Scooby-Doo! Mystery Incorporated incarnation of the gang. It's unknown if Crystal Cove is the hometown of all the LEGO depictions of the gang.
- The monsters shown in Boris Carnac's movie posters are extremely similar in appearance to the monster from the old Scooby-Doo cartoons:
- The Headless Horseman from the The Scooby-Doo Show episode The Tar Monster.
- The Mummy of Ankha from the Scooby-Doo, Where Are You! episode Scooby Doo and a Mummy, Too.
- The Zombie from the Scooby-Doo, Where Are You! episode Which Witch is Which?
