In memory of #ScoobHolidayHaunt, which was canceled and indefinitely shelved by HBO Max, here are the 10 greatest films in the #ScoobyDoo franchise, ranked.

#10 – "Aloha, Scooby-Doo!" (2005)

The film executes the Hawaii vibe and tone to a T, resulting in a totally tubular, radical and righteous adventure for Mystery Inc.

#9 – "Scooby-Doo and the Ghoul School" (1988)

Although the plot of the film isn’t memorable, "Scooby-Doo and the Ghoul School" has a laid back hang-out vibe that makes it one of the most purely enjoyable #ScoobyDoo films.

bit.ly/3ejdtmx
#8 – "Scooby-Doo! & Batman: The Brave and the Bold" (2018)

While it’s more of a Batman movie than it is a Scooby-Doo film, the gang fits in perfectly with the kooky world of the DC Universe and proves their worth as both detectives and superheroes.

#7 – "Scooby-Doo" (2002)

This live-action #ScoobyDoo film features real-life couple Freddie Prinze Jr. and Sarah Michelle Gellar bringing sweet chemistry to Fred and Daphne, with additional stellar performances from Linda Cardellini and Matthew Lillard.

#6 – "Scooby-Doo! and the Loch Ness Monster" (2004)

Shrouded in a mystery that feels more culturally realistic than other Scooby adventures, this film captures the mystique of the Loch Ness monster as well as the interesting setting of Scotland.

#5 – "Scooby-Doo and the Alien Invaders" (2001)

As the gang investigates UFO sightings, Shaggy and Scooby fall in love with photographer Crystal and her dog Amber. But Crystal is hiding a secret from Shaggy — one that could doom their relationship.

bit.ly/3ejdtmx
#4 – "Scooby-Doo 2: Monsters Unleashed" (2004)

The sequel to the first live-action #ScoobyDoo film takes slapstick to the maximum, resulting in a hilariously constructed movie where its flaws are its best parts.

bit.ly/3ejdtmx
#3 – "Scooby-Doo and the Witch's Ghost" (1999)

Easily the most iconic non-Scooby Gang characters, emo-grunge group the Hex Girls made their culture-shaking debut in this movie. The film’s witchcraft and Wiccan lore make it the perfect Halloween flick.

bit.ly/3ejdtmx
#2 – "Scooby-Doo and the Cyber Chase" (2001)

This movie follows the gang as they battle the Phantom Virus in cyberspace, causing the gang to go through a number of levels in a video game to escape. This is #ScoobyDoo at its funniest and wildest.

bit.ly/3ejdtmx
#1 – "Scooby-Doo on Zombie Island" (1998)

With werecats, zombies and voodoo, “Scooby-Doo on Zombie Island” has just the right amount of creepiness to keep viewers on their toes without losing the heart and silliness of the originals.

Jane Fonda announced on Instagram that she has been diagnosed with non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma and has started chemo treatments.

bit.ly/3RcDMJB Image
“This is a very treatable cancer. 80% of people survive, so I feel very lucky. I’m also lucky because I have health insurance and access to the best doctors and treatments. I realize, and it’s painful, that I am privileged in this.”

bit.ly/3RcDMJB Image
“Almost every family in America has had to deal with cancer at one time or another and far too many don’t have access to the quality health care I am receiving and this is not right.”

Shia LaBeouf has been cast in Francis Ford Coppola’s upcoming $100 million epic feature #Megalopolis.⁠ bit.ly/3KHiTE0 Image
LaBeouf’s casting comes after the star had been all but blacklisted from Hollywood after musician FKA Twigs, his former romantic partner, filed a lawsuit against him for sexual battery, assault and infliction of emotional distress in 2020.⁠ bit.ly/3KHiTE0 Image
The lawsuit, filed in Los Angeles Superior Court, alleged multiple incidents of physical abuse during the couple’s one year relationship in 2018 & 2019, with the musician claiming LaBeouf at one point nearly choked her to death. It has yet to go to trial. bit.ly/3KHiTE0 Image

J.K. Rowling's new book features the “creator of a popular YouTube cartoon who sees internet trolls and her own fandom turn on her after the cartoon was criticized as being racist and ableist, as well as transphobic for a bit about a hermaphrodite worm.”
bit.ly/3B2Q4OQ Image
J.K. Rowling recently told Graham Norton that her new novel, “The Ink Black Heart,” is not based on her own experience being slammed as transphobic despite featuring a character who finds herself in a similar social media firestorm. bit.ly/3B2Q4OQ Image
As reported by Rolling Stone, the character in the novel is “doxxed with photos of her home plastered on the internet, subjected to death and rape threats for having an opinion, and is ultimately found stabbed to death in a cemetery." bit.ly/3B2Q4OQ Image

With his gay romantic comedy #Bros, Billy Eichner becomes the first openly gay man to both co-write and star in a major studio film. wp.me/pc8uak-1lBpZW Image
“I want it to do well for the sake of the LGBTQ stories getting greenlit. So, there’s a burden I feel, much as I want to sit here and just talk about how funny the movie is.” wp.me/pc8uak-1lBpZW Image
#Bros is part of a wave of new shows and movies — like Netflix’s #Uncoupled and Searchlight’s #FireIsland — that come from LGBTQ creators. Unlike “Uncoupled” and “Fire Island,” though, “Bros” needs to convince consumers to buy a movie ticket. wp.me/pc8uak-1lBpZW Image

From #GameofThrones to #MadMen, #HowIMetYourMother to #Lost, here are some of the worst series finales of all time, as ranked by Variety staff.

Read the full list here: bit.ly/3PU4zJ5
#10 — Roseanne

Before ABC’s abrupt cancellation of the series in May 2018, after Roseanne Barr compared former Obama adviser Valerie Jarrett to an ape, the show’s original run concluded in a bizarre manner. – @KateAurthur

bit.ly/3Rd2hG3
#9 — True Blood

The show that opened with a literal bang ended with a whimper. The love triangle between Anna Paquin’s Sookie, Alexander Skarsgård’s Eric and Stephen Moyer’s Bill was resolved in the most noncommittal way possible. – @MaaneKhat
