The 13 Ghosts of Scooby-Doo

The 13 Ghosts of Scooby-Doo is the seventh incarnation of Scooby-Doo, produced by Hanna-Barbera for ABC. It premiered 7 September 1985. Unlike previous Scooby-Doo series, its villains were real demons as opposed to disguised humans.
== Overview ==
Shaggy Rogers and Daphne Blake were given drastic makeovers for this series. Shaggy is now wearing a red T-shirt and blue pants, while Daphne no longer wears her traditional purple dress, but now wears a lavender-colored jumpsuit. Daphne also sports a new shorter hairstyle, which bears some resemblance to Debbie from Speed Buggy. One could infer that Daphne and Shaggy were in their twenties in this series. New character Vincent Van Ghoul resembled his voice actor, Vincent Price.
This series was dropped from ABC's Saturday-morning lineup in March 1986 after just two cycles, and replaced by reruns of Laff-a-Lympics as a placeholder for the remainder of the 1985-86 TV season. At the same time, Scooby's Mystery Funhouse was dropped and replaced by reruns of Pink Panther and Sons, which previously aired on NBC.
This was the last new Scooby-Doo series to be produced until A Pup Named Scooby-Doo three years later, and the last new series of the franchise to feature regular human characters as teenagers until What's New Scooby-Doo? launched in 2002, at which point their traditional wardrobes and appearance were restored.
== Summary ==
After Scooby-Doo and Shaggy Rogers are tricked into opening the Chest of Demons and freeing the thirteen evil spirits trapped therein, they must recapture the demons. Helping them are Daphne Blake, Scrappy-Doo and two new characters: Flim Flam, an orphaned huckster who befriends Scrappy, and Vincent Van Ghoul, an aged and wise mystic.
Each episode had the heroes trying to lure a different demon back into the chest. Helping the demon of the week are two very inept ghosts, Bogel & Weerd, who tricked our heroes into opening the chest in the first place.
