Scooby-Doo and the gang decide to record one of their mysteries. This time, they're going out into the woods to investigate a haunting there. The ghost is going to be a bad guy in a mask, right?Wrong. So. Very. Wrong.The Scooby-Doo Project was a series of bumpers parodying The Blair Witch Project, which was serialized during a Scooby-Doo marathon on Cartoon Network in October and November of 1999. The second run of the marathon culminated in the premiere of Scooby-Doo! and the Witch's Ghost, and the Project aired in a short-film format at the end of both airings of the marathon. However, after that, this short vanished, never to be aired again or released to DVD. It is, however, available on YouTube, through reuploads by fellow Scooby fans.Several fans have compiled many of the available bumpers into a singular video, such as these.In Halloween 2022, for its 30th birthday, Cartoon Network finally uploaded the video officially on their youtube channel.This series was shot during the Scooby-Doo on Zombie Island era, and featured the new voice cast from that era. The only one of the voice cast member from The New Scooby-Doo Movies to reprise his role was Frank Welker returning to his role as Fred. Scott Innes reprises his role as Shaggy and Scooby-Doo from the films, as well as playing Scrappy. B. J. Ward reprises her role as Velma, while Mary Kay Bergman plays Daphne Blake in her last credited role; she committed suicide only one month after the special was released.

Darker and Edgier: Being a parody of The Blair Witch Project, it's much darker than the usual cartoons. The monster that the gang is after is a real monster and the gang also argue a lot in the short. The woods they are camping in are also pretty creepy. It's also implied that the monster killed the gang in the ending.

comment
You Meddling Kids: Played with. In an extended version, after they pull the mask off the "monster", he instead calls them "intrusive" kids. Another moment that pays parody to this trope: in a spoof of the famous "I'm so scared" line, the camera, in a close up on Velma's face, while she says, "Maybe this time, we shouldn't have meddled... we shouldn't have meddled..."

The Bad Guy Wins: The real monster is implied to have killed the gang and the hapless disguised homeowner in the ending, remaining uncaught as the only trace left of the gang was the Mystery Machine that they left by the road. However, the Halftime Show of Cartoon Network's Big Game 2000 has Fred discuss the events, and he says that they escaped and caught the culprit.

comment
Death by Adaptation: It's heavily implied that the monster killed the gang after getting the jump on them at the house, as the only trace left of them after they were reported missing by the news is the abandoned Mystery Machine. Ultimately subverted by the Halftime Show of Cartoon Network's Big Game 2000, which shows Fred talking about the events.

comment
"Scooby-Doo" Hoax: Subverted in an extended version, after the monster confronts the gang in the house they go into, they manage to hold him down off-screen, and it is revealed to be just some random guy doing it because it was Halloween. However, when they question him about scaring them in a cemetery, he legitimately doesn't know what they're talking about, and then the real monster shows up.

Downer Ending: The special ends with the gang apparently getting killed by the monster. However, the Halftime Show of Cartoon Network's Big Game 2000 has Fred discuss the events with Moltar—the gang managed to escape and the culprit was arrested, but whenever they tried to show their video to anyone, people accused it of being a rip-off of The Blair Witch Project.

Faux Horrific: The gang treat Scrappy-Doo as being almost as frightening as the monster itself. Fred has a total meltdown over losing his ascot. Likewise, Shaggy has a meltdown over eating stale Scooby Snacks that have been left on the ground outside the gang's tent at night.

Embarrassing First Name: Acknowledged. Velma introduces Shaggy by his actual first name (Norville) to which he objects. Fred and Daphne have a field day with this. Even Scooby joins in on the mocking despite the fact that he has an equally embarrassing first name (Scoobert).

What Happened to the Mouse?: It's unknown what happened to the Mystery Gang in the ending, but it's implied that the monster killed them. It's also not mentioned what happened to Scrappy and the grumpy woodsman, since neither is mentioned as being lost, like the Gang. Straightened up in Big Game 2000, which revealed that it was just another case.
