“In October 1999, four teenaged sleuths and their Great Dane got lost in the woods while in search of a mystery. This is their story.”
This week, as spooky season begins to ramp up, our hosts Diana and Audrey discuss the cult classic Blair Witch Project spoof The Scooby-Doo Project.
Originally released as bumpers, Cartoon Network commissioned the short film to be included in a Halloween Marathon in 1999. The compilation of bumpers tells the story of the Scooby Gang investigating rumors about the haunted woods nearby, in a small town. The gang interviews real locals, eventually investigating and camping in the woods ending up lost. Presented in a found-footage style, with live-action footage and the Mystery Gang remaining in their traditional 2D animation.
As Fred, Daphne, Shaggy and Scooby-Doo prepare to investigate a monster in the haunted woods nearby, Velma announces her decision to document the adventure with a handheld digital camera. Then the special presents the Scooby-Doo version of the iconic Blair Witch Project.
Audrey and Diana discuss the low budget and ambitious making of this special, our love-hate relationship with Scrappy Doo, The Blair Witch Project's legacy and the film’s most memorable spoofs over the years.
Lots of Zoinks, Ruh-rohs and Jinkies ahead so thanks for tuning in!
