‘Scooby-Doo! Music of the Vampire’ takes Kiddies on a Vamp-tastic Ride

One of the many great things about vampires is that there’s something for every age, even children. Which is why I am happy to report on the upcoming Scooby Doo film, Scooby-Doo! Music of the Vampire. This fun kid-friendly flick is slated to be released on DVD and Blu-ray on March 13, 2012. If there’s anything I know about kids, it’s that they absolutely love Scooby Doo, which is probably why the franchise has been going strong since 1969.

From the official press release:

“Get set for big laughs, good times and cool tunes with the Scooby-Doo gang as they travel to the super spooky parts of the Deep South for the Vampire-Palooza Festival. The event kicks off with good fun and lots of tasty Southern snacks, but it’s not long before the festivities are interrupted by a real vampire who threatens the townsfolk and tries to take Daphne for his vampire bride!

Good thing our intrepid heroes don’t believe in the bloodsuckers — or do they? Packing a little garlic never hurt anyone, except a vampire, and so the gang sets out to investigate. Could the culprit be the descendant of a famous vampire hunter who is trying to sell his book? Or is it the festival’s owner, who is trying to use vampire lore to promote the fair? Maybe it’s the festival’s traveling musical troupe, whose very handsome lead singer is taking his vampire role just a little too seriously?

Things get more complicated when Shaggy, believing he’s been bit by a vampire, decides to hide from his friends in the swamp, but his loyal friend Scooby-Doo will not abandon him. And when Daphne goes missing, can Fred and Velma bring everyone together to prevent her from becoming the vampire queen? Everything culminates in a not-to-be-missed song-filled showdown in the swamp!”

“Vampire stories are a hugely popular genre with consumers and now Scooby-Doo has his very own modern-day vampire encounter in this exciting new film,” said Mary Ellen Thomas, WHV Executive Marketing Director of Family & Animation Franchise. She added, “This is Scooby-Doo’s first ever musical, which we think is a fun concept that goes well with the premise of the film. It actually takes us back to Scooby-Doo’s early television series, which incorporated a lot of musical elements. We think viewers of all ages will enjoy this DVD release.”

The DVD also includes a sing-a-long feature for all the musical kiddies out there.

Sounds like a wonderful vampire movie for the little ones. Will any of you pick this up for your kids, or yourself even (any age can love Scooby)?
