The 1985 incarnation of the Scooby-Doo franchise and the final incarnation of its original run. This series was also the first to introduce a story arc, though it was never finished during its original run due to its cancellation.It begins when Scooby, Shaggy, Daphne and Scrappy end up in Tibet by plane crash, and Scooby and Shaggy are tricked into opening the Chest of Demons, a chest containing 13 powerful, terrifying ghosts each bent on world domination. Fated to return the malevolent spirits to the chest, the team is guided by mysterious mystic Vincent Van Ghoul, played by Vincent Price, who exasperatedly helps our heroes catch them all before it's too late.This show uses the globetrotting Scooby-Shaggy-Daphne-Scrappy format that had been in place the previous couple of years, though it is the last show to do so, also adding a new member of the gang in the form of Flim-Flam, a child con artist who runs into the gang and joins up with them. It was also one of the first shows to substantially feature real ghosts and supernatural creatures as opposed to people in masks, and the self-referential parody, pop-culture references and fourth wall breaking that would go on to characterize A Pup Named Scooby-Doo (this is the result of Tom Ruegger, who produced the latter, being associate producer on this one).Fittingly enough, only 13 episodes were produced, but since the premiere established the plot, the gang only captured 12 of the ghosts before the show ended. The 2019 direct-to-video movie Scooby-Doo! and the Curse of the 13th Ghost serves as a conclusion to the show, with the whole gang (with the exception of Scrappy) helping Van Ghoul take on the last of the ghosts. | |

Abandoned Catchphrase | |

Abandoned Catchphrase: Throughout the first six episodes, Flim Flam would say "In the words of the great confused one", followed by some piece of advice, at least once an episode. It was dropped afterward. | |

Darker and Edgier | |
| The 13 Ghosts of Scooby-Doo / int_14beeefd | comment |
Darker and Edgier: Played straight and mercilessly averted in the same show. Several of the villains in this show are among the most threatening enemies Scooby has ever been pitted against. Among them a dark sorcerer who can put people to sleep for centuries, a soul stealing circus master and a kid-friendly version of a succubus. At the same time because the show doesn't take itself seriously the show is goofier than a usual Scooby Doo show. This is played for laughs that many of the ghosts are often annoyed by the other characters' humor. | |

Chekhov's Gun | |
| The 13 Ghosts of Scooby-Doo / int_22cf536c | comment |
Chekhov's Gun: Flim-Flam was selling a concoction known as "Lots of Luck Joy Juice" when we first see him. One of the ingredients was Wolfsbane, and a splash of it was enough to cure the werewolf villagers that put the gang into a corner. In "Reflections in a Ghoulish Eye", a vendor hands Daphne a magic amulet written in gibberish. When Daphne gets sucked into the mirror world, she learns that it's a magic spell. Moreover, the vendor was actually Vincent Van Ghoul in disguise! | |

Verbal Tic: In "Reflections in a Ghoulish Eye", the character Sandy has a tendency to end his sentences with "I must say". This is due to his being an obvious homage, both physically and in behavior, to Ed Grimley, for whom this was also a catch-phrase. Boris Kreepoff from "Horror-Scope Scooby" has a habit of ending his sentences with "or else". | |

Sealed Evil in a Can: The thirteen ghosts were sealed within the Chest of Demons until Scooby and Shaggy were duped into releasing them. The whole show revolves upon getting them back into the can. After her initial release from the Chest of Demons in the pilot, Marcella managed to get herself trapped again, this time in the Zone of Eternal Evil. Her episode revolves around her trying to get out with the help of the Brewski sisters, only for her to end up being sucked straight into the Chest of Demons. | |

Credits Gag: In the episode "That's Monstertainment", Zomba's movie has a custom Hanna-Barbara logo which resembles the MGM logo with Scooby-Doo in it. Scooby-Doo creators William Hanna and Joseph Barbera had started out as animators at MGM Studios. The logo is also customized: it reads "Ranna-Rarrera" (Hanna-Barbera in Scooby's dialect) and has the logo read "limitus animatus" (which is Latin for "limited animation", which Hanna-Barbera was famous for). | |

Repulsive Ringmaster | |
| The 13 Ghosts of Scooby-Doo / int_629f74e6 | comment |
Professor Phantazmo is the ghost of a Repulsive Ringmaster who has various supernatural beings as minions. He uses bewitched calliope music to disguise his appearance into that of a living man, but his true form is that of probably what he would look like if he were still alive but looked his real age. | |

Our Ghosts Are Different | |
| The 13 Ghosts of Scooby-Doo / int_66479d0 | comment |
Our Ghosts Are Different: While they are all referred to as ghosts, most of the ones from the chest are not the ghosts of something that was human in the first place (we have ghost witches, ghost vampires, ghost demons, a ghost Eldritch Abomination, and — however that works — the ghost of a zombie), and in those cases they retain the abilities they had in life (or unlife or whatever). Bogel and Weerd are sometimes portrayed as non-corporeal, but they can sometimes suffer Amusing Injuries at the hands of both the living and the dead. Basically they are whatever the writers need to get a laugh. | |

Inconsistent Spelling | |
| The 13 Ghosts of Scooby-Doo / int_66c725b6 | comment |
Inconsistent Spelling: There is debate on the name of the 12th ghost from "Horror-scope Scoob". The DVD of the series named him Simbooloo. (We know the DVD was accurate on Reflector Specter's name as it was nowhere in the actual episode). The followup movie and the Scooby Doo encyclopedia have gone with Zimbulu. | |

She's genuinely confused by this, not knowing anything about a Shadow Demon; it's soon revealed that the demon in question is actually the shadow of Byron Befuddle, owner and builder of Befuddle Manor (whom Morbidia had imprisoned when she took over the manor), and her magic unwittingly brought it to life, allowing him to send it to trick the gang into coming to the manor in order to save him and stop Morbidia. | |

13 Is Unlucky | |
| The 13 Ghosts of Scooby-Doo / int_9a692ae9 | comment |
13 Is Unlucky: The show is pretty much built on this trope: The show's premise involves Scooby and Scrappy Doo, Shaggy, Daphne and their newest member of the Mystery Inc. gang, Flim Flam, being tricked into opening the Chest of Demons and releasing thirteen of the most terrifying ghosts on the face of the Earth, and it's their job to find them all and return them to the chest. The episode "Reflections in a Ghoulish Eye" has the gang facing off with the Reflector Spector, AKA the Mirror Demon, who, as its name implies, lives in a cursed mirror in a hotel room in Marrakesh, Morocco, aptly numbered 1313. The unlucky part is we never got to see them finish the job, as the show coincidentally lasted for thirteen episodes, until the release of Scooby-Doo! and the Curse of the 13th Ghost over 30 years after the show aired, where the gang finally found the last ghost. | |

Red Eyes, Take Warning | |
| The 13 Ghosts of Scooby-Doo / int_a939a527 | comment |
Red Eyes, Take Warning: Some of the ghosts from the Chest of Demons have red eyes. While Maldor the Malevolent starts out with yellow sclera in "Scoobra Kadoobra", his sclera turns red when he glares at Daphne at one point and later remain red for the remainder of the episode. The Reflector Specter in "Reflections in a Ghoulish Eye" is a hideous red-eyed demon who hides in mirrors. Marcella, who is recaptured in "When You Witch Upon a Star", has red eyes that lack pupils. Weerd's eyes turn red early on in the pilot when he's plotting the release of the Thirteen Ghosts. | |

Ninja Pirate Zombie Robot | |
| The 13 Ghosts of Scooby-Doo / int_afc52a86 | comment |
Ninja Pirate Zombie Robot: Most of the visible "ghosts" take this to a whole new level. It's not entirely clear if we are meant to take ghost literally or just a catchall. This is complicated even more that the chest that contained them is called the "Chest of Demons" instead of chest of ghosts. In fact the only genuine, classical ghosts in there were the sunken ship ghosts. The others all have a mix match of attributes on top of possibly being ghosts. Some like Maldor the Malevolent and Nekara are the Evil Sorceror or Enchantress up to eleven. Marsella is a witch of general sorts. As for the more direct explanations: Zomba, perhaps the most striking example, is the ghost of a zombie (or… something like that), although not mindless at all, who also has hypnotizing powers and the ability to trap people inside TV shows. (As an aside note, exactly how and when she learned she could do that is unknown, since she was sealed in the Chest long before movies were created.) Queen Morbidia is a sort of Elvira-like vampire who rules over monsters. Like Zomba, how being the ghost of a vampire works is left to our imaginaton. Time Slime by looks appears to be the ghost of some kind of skeleton-like demon who is also something of a mechanical genius and time traveler (his end goal is described by Van Ghoul as turning the world into a "mechanical wasteland"). Demondo is the ghost of a big sort of normal bulky demon who has "cosmic ink" that apparently can bring whatever is printed/drawn with it to life. Much like Zomba, he was no doubt was very happy to have discovered comic strips when he escaped… Rankor is at the crossing of a ghost, a Big Red Devil and a vampire. He can, additionally, possess various physical objects. Professor Phantazmo is the ghost of a Repulsive Ringmaster who has various supernatural beings as minions. He uses bewitched calliope music to disguise his appearance into that of a living man, but his true form is that of probably what he would look like if he were still alive but looked his real age. Reflector Specter is the ghost of an Eldritch Abomination from beyond the mirror. Zimbulu described himself as the ghost of a "lion demon", though he only looks very broadly lion-like. Scrappy calling him out as a "lying demon" is actually more accurate since by the looks of it his powers are shapeshifting, teleporting and ordering other people to do work for him. | |

Bad Future | |
| The 13 Ghosts of Scooby-Doo / int_deb39de3 | comment |
There is also the question of can other demons free the other ones who had been retrapped. In "Ship of Ghouls" the chest being in the Bermuda Triangle will automatically force it open. In "That's Monstertainment" Zomba claims she will free her fellow spirits but never gets the chance. In "It's A Wonderful Scoob", Time Slime says he can do it in his Lair of Lost Time and according to the Bad Future he succeeds. However in "Horror-Scope Scoob" Zimbulu claims to do it as well also during the time of the Winter Solstice where allegedly "all the power in the universe will be his". When he does only three minor ghosts presumed captured before the episode get out. Even then he is defeated fairly easily for someone who thought he had all the power in the universe. It's not clear if the Chest of Demons really has any kind of specific power or if being in places with a Timey-Wimey Ball like the Bermuda Triangle or The Lair of Lost Time seem to change the rules. | |

No Ending | |
| The 13 Ghosts of Scooby-Doo / int_ea2e9f2d | comment |
No Ending: There are 13 ghosts and 13 episodes. But the first episode was just Scooby and Shaggy accidentally letting them loose, and another episode didn't end with an explicitly captured ghost (Fans had speculated the ship's captain to be one or not in the years since). So the show ended with either one or two ghosts left with no conclusion. Curse of the 13th Ghost was sold as a Fully Absorbed Finale to this series over 30 years later. In the process it did give credence to the series having caught 12 of the 13 ghosts. However in a move most did not see coming the film chose to end with a wholly new No Ending debate where it is not clear if the 13th ghost has actually repented and is no longer a threat or if this is going to come back to haunt Scooby again. | |

Weakened by the Light: Queen Morbidia from "Me and My Shadow Demon" is defeated when sunlight turns her into ash. Her ashes are then swept up and put into the Chest of Demons. Rankor from "Coast-to-Ghost", being a vampire ghost, naturally has a vulnerability to sunlight. Right when he's about to be destroyed by it, however, Scrappy and Flim-Flam offer to protect him from the sunlight by returning him to the Chest of Demons, resulting in Rankor being the only ghost in the series to go back into the Chest of Demons willingly. | |

Depending on the Writer: The first piece on this trope is obviously on the use of the terms "ghosts" and "demons" for the antagonists. They are practically used interchangeable even though some of which don't even seem to properly fit either. There is also the question of can other demons free the other ones who had been retrapped. In "Ship of Ghouls" the chest being in the Bermuda Triangle will automatically force it open. In "That's Monstertainment" Zomba claims she will free her fellow spirits but never gets the chance.

Cut Short | |
| The 13 Ghosts of Scooby-Doo / int_ffa0483f | comment |
Cut Short: Scooby-Doo and his friends never did catch all thirteen ghosts during the run of the show. Only eleven of them were shown being caught at all (twelve with later supplemental material confirming that the Captain from "Ship of Ghouls" was also one of the thirteen) — and no ghosts were captured in the pilot. The 2019 film Scooby-Doo! and the Curse of the 13th Ghost eventually gave a long overdue ending to the show's story, finally identifying the thirteenth ghost ( who never did get caught, as it's implied that the real one had since pulled a Heel–Face Turn). | |
