After a colossal stink bomb that was The Scooby-Doo Project in 1999, Cartoon Network tried to do right by its viewers and fans of the franchise with another Halloween-themed special 2 years later.
Night of The Living Doo is a left-handed nod to the 1972-4 New Scooby-Doo Movies, as well as a parody of George Romero's classic, "Night of The Living Dead". As advertised, Gary Coleman, David Cross, and Big Bad Voodoo Daddy are the guests, plus Mark Hamill, the only one of the lot with any previous interaction with Scooby & the gang (Mark, remember, voiced Corey on Jeannie, and there was a crossover during season 2 of the Movies).
CN copied their strategy from 2 years earlier, releasing short interstital chapters before the final product aired to end the Halloween marathon. However, the pacing was a wee bit off. Not good.
Rating: B-.
