'Scooby-Doo! Curse of the Lake Monster' is an American live-action/CGI supernatural mystery comedy television film based on Hanna-Barbera's Scooby-Doo, Where Are You! animated TV series which aired from 1969 to 1970. It was written by Steven and Daniel Altiere, produced by Brian Levant and Brian Gilbert, and directed by Levant. It was aired on September 13, 2009, to coincide with the premiere of Scooby-Doo, Where Are You! on its 40th anniversary, then later released in DVD/Blu-ray combo pack on September 22. It was a co-production between the then newly formed Warner Premiere and Cartoon Network. It was marketed as a prequel to the big screen films of Scooby-Doo and Scooby-Doo 2: Monsters Unleashed, although it is set in contemporary times. The Mystery Begins was followed the next year with its own sequel, Scooby-Doo! Curse of the Lake Monster.
