Scooby-Doo! Music of the Vampire (film)

'Scooby-Doo! Music of the Vampire' is an American animated musical horror-comedy direct-to-video (DTV) film based on the Scooby-Doo, Where Are You! TV series in 1969. It was released by Warner Home Video through the Warner Premiere label on March 13, 2012. It was written by Tom Sheppard, and directed by David Block. The film is the seventeenth installment in the Scooby-Doo 2-D animated direct-to-video film series.

Much to the chagrin of Scooby and Shaggy, Velma picks a vampire-themed festival as Mystery Inc.'s vacation spot. Their fears are justified when a real vampire, called Lord Valdronya, appears and kidnaps Daphne to be his bride.

Memorable quotes
Velma: You know, I'm pure of heart. Does anyone think of kidnapping me?

Shaggy: So I'm not going to turn into a bloodsucking weirdo? Velma: Bloodsucker? No. Weirdo? We're too late for that.

Behind the scenes

 * This is could be considered the first Scooby-Doo musical, although the twelfth DTV, Scooby-Doo! and the Goblin King, could also fit that description.
 * Scooby Snacks are absent.

Errors

 * It is never made clear what Van Helsing meant to do with Daphne if his plan had succeeded.
 * The timing of the attack on Henry is messed up. It could only have occurred before the show began, before Van Helsing took his seat in the audience. But that means he made Valdronya appear before the resurrection ceremony that supposedly brought him back to life. Nobody thought to check on this.
 * It was never explained how Lord Valdronya was able to fly, but it's clear that he used the flying shoes, which he stole from Tulie.
 * The Police Academy that Fred went to is presumably in Coolsville, but it isn't explicit.
