Tomorrow sees the digital release of Warner Bros. animated film Scooby Doo: Return to Zombie Island, the sequel to the 1998 direct-to-video film Scooby-Doo on Zombie Island. Those who want a physical copy can also buy a DVD at Walmart before it goes to all retailers on October 1.
As many of you know, we here at Dread Central are big fans of Scooby Doo, so when we got the opportunity to premiere a clip from this latest film, we simply couldn’t resist! Can you imagine our surprise when we also saw that none other than Elvira was in the scene? That’s right! The Queen of Horror has a guest appearance where she announces the winners of an all-paid vacation trip…which suspiciously happens to be just the right amount of people (and pets) for the Mystery Gang.
You can see it all for yourself above!
“Zombies are a very popular theme in entertainment now and we wanted to create a fun, family-friendly version of this genre for Scooby-Doo! fans. So we brought back a Scooby-Doo! classic and continued the original story but created a captivating new plotline,” said Mary Ellen Thomas, Vice President Family & Animation Marketing. She added, “Scooby-Doo! Return to Zombie Island is an entertaining, original film that will appeal to a wide audience. It’s classic Scooby-Doo! with a contemporary look and feel, a fun storyline and engaging characters. This release is a must for your home entertainment library.”
“Scooby-Doo and his pals win an all-expense paid vacation and embark on a trip of a lifetime to a tropical paradise. Their destination however, turns out to be Zombie Island. As soon as they arrive, they realize the place looks strangely familiar and is reminiscent of a trip they took years ago, in which they became wrapped up in a mystery involving zombies. The gang soon learns that their trip to paradise comes with a price when the zombies re-emerge and attack their hotel. Will Scooby-Doo and the Mystery Inc. gang finally solve the mystery behind Zombie Island?“
Scooby-Doo Return to Zombie Island features the familiar voice talents of Frank Welker as Scooby-Doo/Fred Jones, Grey Griffin as Daphne Blake, Matthew Lillard as Shaggy Rogers and Kate Micucci as Velma Dinkley.
