The Mystery, Inc. gang sat out this 1988 made-for-TV Scooby movie, in which race-car driver Shaggy is transformed into a werewolf by Count Dracula. Why would Drac do such a thing? To pad the field for his Transylvanian Grand Prix, naturally, which features the most ghoulish competitors to ever pursue a checkered flag. While this is hardly the sort of animation that lands its producers in the winner's circle, kids love the cowardly hound whose master is having his worst hair day ever. The Wolf Shag's fellow racers -- including Frankenstein, Dr. Jeckyll and Mr. Snyde, the Swamp Thing, the Witch Sisters, the skeletal Mr. Bone Jangles -- and their amusing jalopies combine to make this outing monstrous fun.

All Movie Guide

This made-for-TV animated feature stars only two regular members of the Mystery Machine gang: Scooby Doo and Shaggy (although Scrappy, a late addition to the series, is also present). In place of Freddy, Velma, and Daphne, we have Googie, Shaggy's girl friend. It seems that Shaggy and company are now involved in race car driving. By coincidence, in far-off Transylvania, Count Dracula is getting ready for the annual Monster Car Race -- a race that features such familiar faces as Frankenstein's Monster and his bride, the Mummy, Genghis Kong, and a pair of witches. Normally, the Werewolf is a part of the race, but he has fled this year and nothing Dracula can do will bring him back. As he desperately needs a werewolf for the race, Dracula sends the Hunch Bunch -- a pair of deformed brothers -- to America, where they transform Shaggy into a werewolf. Dracula tells Shaggy that he will take the spell off of him and return him to normal -- but only if he wins the Monster Car Race. That turns out to be easier said than done, especially since Dracula does everything in his power to see that Shaggy will lose and remain a werewolf forever. ~ Craig Butler, All Movie Guide
