(The story opens on night in Valentine Bluffs cuts to an old mine shaft in the Hanniger Mine and the Ghost of Harry Harden, AKA the Miner, appears and comes out of the mine looking for his next victim. The scene then cuts to the country road where the Mystery Machine is driving down it to Valentine Bluffs)

Shaggy: I can't wait to get some food.

Scooby-Doo: Me too.

Fred: You guys are always hungry.

Velma: It's a wonder you never lose wight or gain wight.

Daphne: We helped the PJ Masks catch a ghost in Tarabiscoville, helped the PAW Patrol catch a ghost in Adventure Bay, helped Rusty Rivets catch a robot monster, and helped the Equestria Girls catch a ghost in a castle that once belonged to Principal Celestia and Vice Principal Luna.

(A person runs by)

Man: Run for your lives! He's back! The Ghost of Harry Warden is back!

(Runs off screaming)

Velma: What did he mean by that?

Fred: We may have found a mystery.

Shaggy: I hate it when he goes "We may have found a mystery." It only leads to us being chased by a ghost or monster.

Scooby-Doo: Yeah, and we hate it.

Daphne: We begged the sheriff to give us mystery solving permission back and he agreed.

Fred: Yeah, but come on. And maybe we'll find the answer at the mines. Come on, let's go.

Scooby-Doo: Oh, boy.

(They go to the mines to look for clues)

(Harry Warden's Ghost appears watching them and follows them)

(They arrive at the mines)

Fred: Well, here it is. Hanniger Mine.

Velma: Look around, there have to be some clues around here some where.

(They enter the mine looking for clues)

Fred: Careful gang, this could be our exciting mystery yet.

Shaggy: Like I'm starving man.

Scooby-Doo: Me too.

(They walk until they find a clue)

Velma: Jinkies, this feels like a clue.

Fred: Glowing paint.

(They see the ghost)

Shaggy: Zoinks! It's the Ghost of Harry Warden!

(They run out of the mines being chased by the ghost and back out to the open)

Velma: Quick, get to the van!

Scooby-Doo: GANGWAY!

(They make it safe)

Fred: Whoever it was, must've gone away.

(They hear wailing and see something terrifying again a familiar one too)

Daphne: Look!

(They see the ghost)

Daphne: The Ghost of Harry Warden.

Harry Warden's Ghost: I warn you. Leave Valentine Bluffs. Or you will meet your dooooooom.

Shaggy: (Gulps) D-D-D-Doom?

(Cuts back to the ghost)

Harry Warden's Ghost: Leave and never return. The Miner has spoken.

(Laughs evilly and goes off, the gang go after him)

Fred: Grab that ghost!

(He, Shaggy and Scooby act like in Hassle in the Castle)

(They jump at it and go right through it and he goes through a solid wall back into the mine)

Fred: D-Did you see that?!

Scooby-Doo: Y-Y-Yeah!

Shaggy: Like he went through the wall. None stop.

Velma: There's a very logical explanation for this.

Shaggy: Quick tell me.

Velma: The place is haunted.

Shaggy: Thanks a lot. Why don't we take Harry Warden's advice and clear out of this place?

Scooby-Doo: Yeah yeah yeah.

Fred: No Shaggy. We're not going.

(He and Scooby face palm themselves)

Shaggy: Like why not?

Fred: Three good reasons, Shag. First: no ghost is gonna scare us away. Second: why does he want us out of Valentine Bluffs so bad? And third: we're marooned.

Shaggy: I'll buy that last one.

(Daphne calls them over)

Daphne: Hey fellas, over here, a clue.

(Cuts to her and Velma she holds a key)

Daphne: I found this old key. It must belong to the Miner.

Fred: Hey there's some writing on it. It says "Home of Harry Warden".

Velma: I've got it. Maybe there could be a clue.

Fred: Then Harry Warden's house is where we should look.

Scooby-Doo: That's right yeah

Daphne: It's the only way.

Fred: Right. Come on.

(Cuts to the house the gang are there)

Fred: Well this is the place.

(Opens door)

Fred: Okay Scooby. Go in and take a look around. We'll keep watch out here.

Scooby-Doo: You're kidding.

Fred: No I'm not kidding.

(He whimpers)

Daphne: There he goes again. With his fake wounded rutine.

Velma: What a ham.

(Whimpers and lies down)

Fred: Would you do it for a Scooby Snack?

Scooby-Doo: Two.

Fred: OK two it is.

(Tosses him a couple he catches them)

Scooby-Doo: (Salutes) Scooby-Doo!

(Runs in and looks around it's safe he whistles for the gang)

Daphne: Scooby says it's okay.

(Inside they look around)

(Fades to outside where a police car is parked with the Mystery Machine)

Fred: Now to see who the Ghost of Harry Warden really is.

(Shaggy unmasks it to be...)

All: Old Man Grummer?!

Velma: Precisely. He was trying to find the treasure of Harry Warden after hearing about it from an insentric man.

Daphne: So he used the ghost gimmick to frighten away trespassers.

Grummer: And I would have gotten away with it too if not for you meddling kids and your mangy dog!

Shaggy: Like hold on. If you were the ghost how'd you walk through the walls and appear on a crystal ball without a hologram projector?

Grummer: I didn't.

Shaggy: Wait. If that wasn't you, then who was it we saw walked through a wall and appear on a crystal ball without a projector?

(They look at each other scene fades to Grummer being taken away)

Fred: Well that wraps up this mystery.

Shaggy: Like I need some dinner man.

Scooby-Doo: Me too.

Velma: I think I saw a diner when we arrived in town.

Scooby-Doo: Let's go!

(He and Shaggy jump into the back they get in and drive off and as they drive off low breathing can be heard the REAL Miner comes out of the shadows and steps on the spot the gang were standing on he sees the Mystery Machine driving off and goes after it slowly walks after it so they won't see him we cut to black)

(We fade open on to the diner where the van is parked out front cuts to inside they sit in that usual booth fashion with Fred in the center reading a newspaper)

Fred: Listen to this gang. Mystery Inc. Mashes Miner Ghost Harry Warden. (Cuts to his POV the headline is capitalized on the front page over a photo of them with Grummer and the policeman) Old Man Grummer taken into custody by policeman for scaring locals away from a supposedly real treasure.

Velma: That was some plan he had.

Shaggy: Like I'm still trying to figure out about the walking through walls and stuff man. And that extraterrestrial we saw.

Velma: It was probably just a special affect.

Daphne: I think it was.

(Then the Miner enters the diner and turns to the tender)

The Miner: Do you know where I can find Mystery Inc.?

Tender: (While wiping the counter) Yeah pal they're in the back booth.

(The Miner spots Mystery Inc.)

(The Miner brings out a piece of paper he has and looks at it. He sees Mystery Inc. on it and looks at them and back at the paper and nods and puts the paper away and walks over to Mystery Inc. and sits down next to them and turns to a waitress)

The Miner: One soda please.

(The waitress gets his drink and gives it to him)

The Miner: Thanks. (pays her and she walks away)

(The Miner sips his drink and turns to the gang)

The Miner: You Mystery Inc?

Fred: That's us. You got a ghost that needs busting?

The Miner: Not really I just need your help with a mysterious creature.

Fred: What kind of mysterious creature?

The Miner: It's called the Thing.

Shaggy and Scooby-Doo: The Thing?

Daphne: What's the Thing?

The Miner: An extraterrestrial that's bent on world domination.

Shaggy: Why do they call it the Thing?

The Miner: The Thing is an alien being a horrible mutant. It can assimilate any living being. They call it the Thing because of the many forms it's assimilated.

Fred: Well mister... Uh we never got your name.

The Miner: (sips his drink again) My name is Harry Warden.

Shaggy: Zoinks! It's the real ghost!

The Miner: No no. I'm not the original. I'm the grandson of the original.

The Miner: Before we enter the mine, we need to gear up.

(Cuts to a shack where the Miner opens it and gives Fred a shovel and a drill, Daphne and Velma pickaxes, and Shaggy a shovel and a nailgun and arms himself with a pickaxe)

The Miner: Now I suggest we split up. I'll go with Shaggy and Scooby. You two ladies go with Fred.

Shaggy: I don't think it's me, either.

Shaggy: I KNEW IT! I KNEW IT!

The Miner: Of course, there are some things I regret when I was alive.

Velma: How do you mean?

The Miner: It all started a long time ago.

(Cuts to flashbacks where everything happens in the 1981 *My Bloody Valentine* movie)

The Miner: (narrating) It was the night of the Valentine's Day dance at the Union Hall. The biggest event of the year. It'd been a tradition for over one hundred years. Everybody was there, except for me and six miners, who were out at the Hanniger Mine.

(Cuts to them working in the mines)

The Miner: (narrating) The five of us still down below. Two supervisors were waiting for us to come up.

(The supervisors laugh)

The Miner: (narrating) Anxious to get to the party, they left before we were safely out, failing to check the methane gas levels in the tunnels down below.

(Cuts to the men at the party)

The Miner: (narrating) We were buried alive, as the town continued its party. For six weeks, they dug 'round the clock to try to save us. After they broke through, I was found alive. Happy was the one who found me.

(Cuts to him in an ally)

The Miner: (narrating) I spent a whole year in a mental institution. Exactly one year later, on Valentine's Day, I came back to town.

(Cuts to a bloody box)

The Miner: (narrating) I killed the two supervisors who had left their posts the year before. Then I cut out their hearts, and stuffed them into heart-shaped candy boxes.

(Cuts to the dance)

The Miner: (narrating) That night at the dance, they found the boxes, blood dripping out the sides. Inside was a note, a warning from me, never to hold a Valentine's dance ever again.

(Blood is dripping cuts to Harry walking through town at night)

The Miner: (narrating) Every February 14th, I came back to town, my pickaxe stained with blood, waiting in the shadows of the Hanniger Mine, just for someone to kill, should they not heed my warning.

(Cuts to the miner)

The Miner: (narrating) I've been trying to clean my act.

(Flashback ends)

The Miner: And so you see I've been trying to get into Heaven. I spent a lot of nights wishing I could take it all back.

Fred: Hey it's okay. Mr. Warden. Or Miner, or whoever you are. Well we know now that you're a real ghost.

The Miner: Call me Harry.

Fred: Alright Harry. We've caught the Ghost of Leonardo De Vinci, the Spertre, the Spirit, the Ghoulish Guest, the Glowing Green Ghost and the Native Ghost Soldier.

The Miner: Thanks guys I'd appreciate that.

Shaggy: So like are we in?

The Miner: Heck yeah Shags! Let's do this! And save the world! So are you meddling kids in or not?

(The gang cheer)

Fred: Let's do it!

(They put their hands (And paws for Scooby) In the center)

Velma: Let's get jinky with it.

(They lift up their hands as we go up and we see the gang gathering up the stuff for the trap to defeat the Thing Fred, Shaggy, Scooby and Harry get the jets to make the Thing fly and the mirrors and lights to blind him Daphne and Velma gather grappling gear)

(They look at each other with the girls on Harry's right and the guys on his left with him in the center they look at each other and nod and then enter the mine)

Fred: Ok we use the pulleys to tip over the cart.

Velma: Then Daphne will pull the lever sending the cart of coal right at the Thing and the fire burns the monster.

Fred: The fire will burn it to death thus defeating it.

Shaggy: Harry, Scoob and I will look around for him since we're the bait and we will like save the world!

(Does right on fists as he said that)

Scooby-Doo: And this time without Scooby Snacks.

The Miner: Okay men. Proceed in close order.

(They walk off to find him)

(Shaggy, Scooby, and the Miner come across an area featuring videos of Harry Warden's past when he was alive)

Shaggy: What's all this?

The Miner: My memories.

(They go through memory one which is of the night of the dance and he died)

The Miner: That's from the time I died with my workers.

Shaggy: Like what's this?

The Miner: A memory of me killing an innocent person.

(Plays it and it ends)

Scooby-Doo: And this?

The Miner: The time I killed my one true love.

(It plays then they go through the third and fourth memories)

The Miner: This is it. The last one.

(The fifth memory shows Harry Warden swinging his pickaxe into Mr. Palmer's chest)

(Harry recognizes it as the time he killed Mr. Palmer)

The Miner: I killed Mr. Palmer.

(They hear sounds)

Shaggy: Like What's that weird sound?

(They turn to see some familiar foes who Harry doesn't recognize but Shaggy and Scooby recognize them)

The Miner: Who are they?

Scooby-Doo: (About the diver) Captain Cutler!

(Says that from off screen cuts to miner Shaggy talks from off screen about it)

Shaggy: (OS) Miner Forty Niner!
