There are plenty of animated series that have gone on to become pop culture institutions, but few have seen the level of celebration that’s surrounded the Scooby-Doo franchise. The property debuted in 1969’s Scooby-Doo, Where Are You!, but for over 50 years the series has remained in the zeitgeist and found new ways to evolve and deconstruct itself. Scooby-Doo features fun mysteries and characters, but it’s also an animated series that plays around with monsters.
More often than not these creatures aren’t real, but even when that’s the case there are still many occasions where Scooby-Doo flexes its more frightening impulses. The franchise is a comedy, some genuinely disturbing villains have shown up on Scooby-Doo over the years.
10 The Space Kook Is A Haunting Vision Of Doom
The various Scooby-Doo series primarily lean more towards horror and mystery, but there are plenty of episodes that take inspiration from the creepier side of science fiction. Scooby-Doo, Where Are You!’s “Spooky Space Kook” episode sees Mystery Inc. enter an abandoned airfield that’s terrorized by the robotic menace, the Space Kook. A little goes a long way here and the Space Kook’s haunting laugh & the blinking skull insignia that functions as its face is enough to easily make it the scariest space-related villain that Scooby and his pals have faced.
9 The Ghost Clown Combines Two Terrifying Ideas
The Ghost Clown from Scooby-Doo, Where Are You!’s “Bedlam in the Big Top” is easily one of the most disturbing antagonists that Mystery Inc. have faced. Admittedly, this is a case where the Ghost Clown isn’t a real monster, but actually Harry the Hypnotist in disguise. This somehow makes matters even more disturbing since he uses his hypnosis to force people to commit bizarre acts. The color scheme and harlequin-like details on the villain’s costume truly make Ghost Clown stand out, even if he’s not actually a spectral being.
8 Revolta Is Genuinely Hard To Look At
Scooby-Doo and the Ghoul School is a made-for-TV film that sends Shaggy, Scooby, and Scrappy to be gym teachers at a school that’s full of monsters. Despite the major leaps of logic in the movie’s plot, there are still some exceptional creatures that crop up during the comedic caper.
Revolta is positioned as a major antagonist throughout Ghoul School and she’s a truly vile being. Revolta has multiple arms and her entire body is covered in rotting flesh. Revolta emphasizes how disgusting real monsters are and that she’s not just someone suspicious that’s wearing a costume.
7 The Phantom Puppeteer Will Go To Extreme Lengths To Escape
“The Backstage Rage” is an episode of Scooby-Doo, Where Are You! that introduces audiences to the despicable Phantom Puppeteer. There’s very much a Phantom of the Opera quality to this story once Mystery Inc. investigate an old puppet theater with concerns over counterfeiting. The Phantom Puppeteer has a creepy look and demeanor, but he’s one of the few villains in the series that actually attempts to kill characters. He commits acts like dropping a sandbag on characters and seems determined to keep his secret safe in a way that feels legitimately uneasy.
6 The Grim Creeper Is A Morbid Sidekick
Sometimes it’s hard to tell if a Scooby-Doo villain is a real monster or not, but it’s immediately clear with Scooby-Doo and the Ghoul School’s Grim Creeper. The monster is created by Revolta as her evil minion to carry out her bidding, which largely includes the capture of Daphne and Velma. The Grim Creeper has a sick enthusiasm to carry out his actions, which makes him even more frightening. His entire purpose is to make Revolta happy, which is a scary level of dedication in addition to his already upsetting appearance.
5 The Skull Island Vampire Is Eerie On Every Level
“Vampire Bats and Scaredy Cats” is an episode of The Scooby-Doo Show that doesn’t just have a frightening villain, but also a creepy premise. The gang heads to Skull Island to stay at an abandoned hotel that Daphne’s friend Lisa is set to inherit on her 18th birthday.
Lisa’s undead vampire grandfather is determined to turn his ancestor into a vampire, while he also sets his sights on Daphne and Velma. The subtext of this episode is quite unnerving and Lisa’s grandfather seems to only target young women. His look, mannerisms, and laugh are all deeply upsetting.
4 Zombie Island’s Werecats Are Determined To Stay Immortal
Scooby-Doo On Zombie Island is a movie that’s a real turning point for the franchise since it pits Scooby and company against very real monsters where their lives are in legitimate danger. As the film’s title describes, zombies are a major problem in the movie, but arguably the werecats are even more terrifying. This variation on werewolves features three blood-thirsty individuals that want to drain the life out of humans and even have voodoo dolls in their possession to help carry out their dirty work.
3 The Tar Monster Is A Disgusting Abomination
The Tar Monster originates in The Scooby-Doo Show’s appropriately titled episode, “The Tar Monster,” but the villain has proven to be popular enough to pop up in other Scooby properties over the years. This monster isn’t overly complex, but it’s just an innately frightening force of nature. There’s a real Clayface quality to this antagonist. There’s a primal factor to The Tar Monster that goes a long way and there are few Scooby-Doo visuals that are more frightening than The Tar Monster slowly emerging from an oozing pit of muck in the middle of the night.
2 The Mirror Monster Reflects The Dark Side Of Mystery Inc.
Scooby-Doo and the Ghoul School is more concerned over jokes than scares, but there are still some frightening ideas that the movie explores. The Mirror Monster pulls from the classic idea of an evil doppelganger, which in this case means that Shaggy gets trapped in a mirror as his villainous duplicate runs amok. Mirror Monster Shaggy looks a little like a werewolf, but his twisted eyes are a small detail that accomplishes a lot. It’s deeply upsetting to watch the character get glee out of malicious acts while the real Shaggy suffers.
1 The Ghostly Gondolier Strikes Fear In His Victims
The Ghostly Gondolier from The Scooby-Doo Show’s “A Menace in Venice” might be the scariest villain to pop up in a Scooby series. The Ghostly Gondolier ends up being a human in disguise rather than the legendary ghost that it claims to be, but he still gets his point across thanks to his striking costume. Every detail of this villain works and he properly utilizes his foggy environment for maximum impact. The Ghostly Gondolier feels like he could be a Spider-Man villain due to his hooded figure and spooky glowing eyes. All he needs is some combustible pumpkins.
