Some of the DirectToVideo movies before ''WesternAnimation/WhatsNewScoobyDoo'' are considered DarkerAndEdgier for good reasons. ''WesternAnimation/ScoobyDooOnZombieIsland'' is widely credited as being the first (if not only) installment of the ''Scooby'' franchise to be genuinely scary, and while plenty of later DirectToVideo movies continued the DarkerAndEdgier aesthetic, few can hold a candle to the one that ''started'' the trend.started it all.

** To be fair though, the chase sequence would of benefited from the omission of the song, the scene just before it was very tense feeling and felt like a pure horror moment then the (admittedly heavy for a kids movie but still kinda "poppy") song kicks in and kind of ruins it (but its Scooby Doo, whats a chase without some thrumming music?)

-->''And you just might die of fright! It's a terrifying time!''



** [[spoiler:[[FamilyUnfriendlyDeath Their deaths too.]]]]

to:

** * [[spoiler:[[FamilyUnfriendlyDeath Their deaths too.]]]]]] We see them howl in agony as they sizzle and fry. We get to see the fur be fried off of the skeletons, which then crumble to dust.]]
** [[spoiler: The final deaths of the poor zombies as well, though this is more bittersweet considering their suffering is finally over. They literally decay, and the flesh is literally torn from their bodies.]]
** During this whole scene, the most powerful, nightmarish music you can imagine is playing, appropriate for the breathtaking end of such a powerful nightmare. Seriously, how did the gang ever fall asleep afterwards?



* Fred's, Daphne's, Velma's, and Beau's faces melting after their wax voodoo dolls get too close to a torch. Thank goodness Scooby and Shaggy knocked the dolls away in time.

Added DiffLines:

* The moans of the zombies sound pretty ethereal, and very inhuman - especially when we first meet the undead Morgan Moonscar. [[spoiler: Becomes even more terrifying when later it's revealed that this inhuman moaning and groaning is literally the undead's ''desperate'' attempts to save the gang from suffering their fate.]]
* The sheer number of zombies shows just how many poor people [[spoiler: had their life drained by Simone, Lena, and Jacques.]]
* The entire "It's Terror Time Again" sequence. This was a chase scene unlike anything before in the franchise. The usually cheerful gang who've never been in such peril are ''running for their lives'' from a horde of ''real'' undead monsters. Never before have the gang looked so terrified. And the epic song by Skycycle is an aggressive (and AWESOME) assault on the senses to really hammer it home; after all these years, it's terror time again!
* The revelation that [[spoiler: there really is a likely malevolent cat-God in existence that was partly behind Simone's reign of terror.]]
* The poster itself is pretty scary. It's big in scope, with the heroes looking on at something, terrified and on the run in a spooky bayou. Meanwhile, some truly frightening looking zombies are overlooking the poster from the sky, and we also finally have a scary gothic castle in the distance in front of the full moon. [[note]]While one may think that the castle will be TheVeryDefinitelyFinalDungeon, it's only featured in the prologue[[/note]] Is this a poster for a BigDamnMovie or what?
