The fourteenth installment in the Franchise/ScoobyDoo direct to video movies produced by who else? [[Creator/WarnerBros Warner Bros. Animation]]. This direct-to-video now features a new style of improved animated format with a darker, more realistic look similar to ''WesternAnimation/ScoobyDooOnZombieIsland'' than the cheaper previous movies, not to mention the gang return to their original outfits and designs from the [[WesternAnimation/ScoobyDooWhereAreYou 1969 series]]. The movie sold well on iTunes, reaching the top ten on the Kids & Family movies charts and the top 40 on the iTunes movie charts.

Before moving on to the plot of the movie and the Tropes it provides, it’s worth noting from this point on, the live action [[Film/ScoobyDoo theatrical]] [[Film/ScoobyDooMonstersUnleashed Shaggy]], Matthew Lillard, does the voice of Shaggy.

Velma receives a call to check on her sister, Madelyn, who's attending school at the Whirlen Merlin Magic Academy. Unfortunately, there are rumors of a Gryphon terrorizing students, and Madelyn remains one of the only students left. When Mystery Inc. arrives, the school requests their help to solve the mystery of the gryphon attacks. [[MotorMouth Could it be the Calvin Curdles, an wealthy business man who wants the castle for himself? Or maybe Amos, the creepy groundskeeper for the castle? And what about Alma, the maid? And what's with the way Madelyn looks at Shaggy? And is Fred falling for Whirlen's former stage assistant, Crystal?]]

The gang is called in to help Madelyn Dinkley, Velma’s sister, who attends a college for magicians at the Whirlen Merlin Magic Academy. They meet the owner of the castle and his brother, Whirlen Merlin and Marlen Merlin, as well as Whirlen’s assistant, Crystal, who catches Fred’s eye. Whirlen informs the gang that there have been multiple sightings of a gryphon, scaring off most of the students and staff.

Later that evening, Madelyn takes Shaggy on a romantic walk through the forest, due to her having a crush on him for some time. They eventually come to a sundial, but are interrupted by the gryphon, who chases them back to the castle. The next day, the rest of the students leave, and a powerful ice cream salesman, Calvin Curdles, attempts to buy the castle off Whirlen, to no avail.

Meanwhile, Daphne is trying to turn into a more graceful woman to impress Fred, who has fallen head over heels for Crystal. However, Daphne's bumbling causes her to stumble upon a secret passageway, which she and Velma explore. They discover that the castle maid, Alma Rumblebuns, used to date Calvin Curdles. Meanwhile, Scooby and Shaggy discover the special effects room of the castle, but when Ms. Rumblebuns tries kicking them out, they knock over some things, creating fog. It is revealed that the room is Marlen’s private laboratory, where he creates holograms and puppets for Whirlen’s show.

The mystery starts heating up when Madelyn finds a book about an ancient staff that O’Flannery, founder of the castle, used to control the castle. The book says the staff was buried in O’Flannery’s grave, so they investigate. However, the grave is guarded by a banshee, which the gang encounters, but not before retrieving the staff.
