History WesternAnimation / ScoobyDooCampScare

* ShoutOut: During the opening credits, two characters resembling [[WesternAnimation/RockyAndBullwinkle Rocky the squirrel and Bullwinkle the moose]] are seen sitting in a tree. The Banshee in the film also bears a strong resemblance to Music/IronMaiden [[MetalBandMascot mascot]], Eddie the Head.

* BreakingOldTrends: Unlike most Scooby-Doo investigations, more time is spent trying to figure out the motive than in finding the perpetrator. Many investigations don't reveal the plan until after the unmasking, but this one they figure it out by putting all the little pieces together before the climax.

** Daphne gets Jessica, MissFanservice whom Fred expresses attraction to, and can hold their own despite first impressions.

* PeekABangs: Trudy. With the hood pulled over her head, she has a streak of hair covering the left half of her face.

* AccidentalTruth: Fred claiming that Big Moose Lake is haunted to try and get them to stay at his camp's lake. Velma calls him on it, but while they're at Big Moose Lake, the Fishman shows up.

* BerserkBoardBarricade: After his first run-in with the Woodsman, Scooby hammers a series of boards across the door. It doesn't do much good, given that Shaggy is easily able to open it seconds afterward.

* BookEnds: The movie opens with Burt telling the tale of the Woodsman to kids around the campfire, followed by his assistant scaring them while dressed up as the creature. It ends with him recapping the tale (now edited to be about [[spoiler:Ranger Knudsen's search for the treasure]]) in a similar setting, with Scooby being the one to scare the kids this time.

* EvenEvilHasStandards: [[spoiler: Baby-Face Boretti]] has no problem with destroying a dam / lake to find some treasure, as long as nobody drowns when the resulting flood annihilates Camp Little Moose. [[spoiler:Of course, not having to worry about multiple charges of murder (some of them child murder) just makes it easier to relax once he gets the treasure, so it may be a case of PragmaticVillainy.]]
* FaintInShock: Scooby has a close call with the Woodsman while going for firewood. When Burt comes in the door immediately afterwards, he collapses into Shaggy's arms.
* FamilyUnfriendlyDeath: The campfire story in the beginning has the villain fall off a cliff and smash into every rock on the way down.

** Both Daphne and Velma in swimwear. [[https://img.fireden.net/co/image/1577/06/1577064083807.png While Daphne in a bikini is very sexy as usual]], Velma [[https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EJAX-JoU0AEW2Fi.jpg showing off her curves is quite a surprise for the franchise.]]
** Jessica fits the role of MsFanservice. She is extremely attractive, wears shorts, and [[https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/thescooby/images/0/0c/Jessica_Camp_Scare.jpeg/revision/latest?cb=20160227100844 her first appearance is in a bikini]].

* LuckBasedSearchTechnique: Shaggy, Scooby and Deacon go flying headfirst into the RV everyone was seeking.

* MeaningfulEcho: When the gang first arrives, Fred does the standard "Camp Little Moose" meet-and-greet chant with Burt, and the rest of the gang is unimpressed. Towards the end, the gang, Burt, Luke, and Trudy join in the "Little Moose" chant to reaffirm their dedication to protecting the camp.

* PalatePropping: Fred tries this trope on the fish-monster when it attacks the scuba-diving party, bracing its maw open with the net-gun that'd proved ineffectual at restraining the threat. It sticks the Fishman's mouth open for a while, but eventually the monster snaps the net-launcher.

* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: Burt's assistant Daryl and the other counselors and students (besides the ones who arrive late) have fled the area (or at least gone to Camp Big Moose) within the first ten minutes and eventually Deacon says he's had enough and is going to Camp Big Moose.

* SunkenCity: The lake in Camp Big Moose has the remnants of an old town sunken in it.

* ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill: The Woodsman's death in the beginning campfire story had him suffer abuse even after he logically would have died already.
* TookALevelInJerkass: Daryl goes for being Burt's goofy sidekick in the opening scene to quitting his boss and being a stricter counselor at Camp Big Moose who runs off anyone from another camp.

** Ricky [=LaRue=] the bank robber has a getaway driver as an accomplice in the flashback but he [[spoiler:never went back for the treasure himself for some reason, unless [[AmbiguousSituation he was Baby-face Boretti]]]].
** The flashbacks showing the bus with Deacon, Trudy and Luke being brought to the camp shows the silhouettes of more campers. What happened to them is unrevealed (although possibly the bus was dropping off people at other camps as well).

* {{Shopkeeper}}: The gang meets a guy who is a cross between this and a CreepyGasStationAttendant when they're first passing through, and later go back to his store for information on the local stories.

* TheDogWasTheMastermind: [[spoiler: One of the camp kids, Deacon, turns out to be the dangerous gangster Babyface Boretti in disguise, who was behind the whole supernatural hoax.]]

* NewspaperDating: The decade the old town was abandoned and flooded is vague in the flashbacks. Then an old movie-theater marquee displays that the 1949 film ''Film/WhiteHeat'' (in a double-feature with 1931's ''Film/ThePublicEnemy'') was the last movie screened there.

* WhoWearsShortShorts: Revealing shorts are a given, considering the location, but Daphne and Jessica's are by far the shortest.

* {{Meganekko}}: Velma and Trudy pull glasses-wearing girls off as a pair.

* [[YouGottaHaveBlueHair You Gotta Have Purple Hair]]: Trudy has purple hair.

* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: Burt's assistant Daryl and the other counselors and students (besides the ones who arrive late) have fled the area (or at leastmilar to Lester from gone to Camp Big Moose) within the first ten minutes and eventually Deacon says he's had enough and is going to Camp Big Moose.

* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: Burt's assistant Daryl and the other counselors and students (besides the ones who arrive late) have fled the area (or at least gone to Camp Big Moose) within the first ten minutes and eventually Deacon says he's had enough and is going to Camp Big Moose.

Premiering on Warner DVD in 2010, ''Franchise/ScoobyDoo! Camp Scare'' revolves around the gang becoming counselors at Camp Little Moose, a run-down summer camp that Fred remembers fondly from his childhood. When they arrive, they discover that the local campfire stories have been coming true, from the AxCrazy Woodsman to the screeching ghost of a lost hiker, and a monstrous fish-man in the lake. It's up to the gang to solve this mystery, but can they do it before the monsters find what they're looking for?

* InsaneEqualsViolent: Jerry [=McCreedy=], aka the Woodsman, is said to have been driven insane from head trauma, and he roams the woods with an axe. Of course, [=McCreedy=] was already mean going mad, which would give him an additional reason to become violent after losing his mind.

* TheAce: Luke. He is shown to be very good at swimming (as he is the only one not to wear a life preserver), is shown to be a very prominent archer, catches an enormous fish before Fred can even finish giving him instructions on how to cast, and also shows his strength in the last battle with the Woodsman by pushing an large, rusted bell into the villain, nearly knocking him off.

* CherryTapping: Fred pushes the Woodsman out of a clock tower window by pressing his nose like a button.
* ComicallyMissingThePoint: Velma is told to "just stand and look pretty". Daphne's response? "He thinks you're pretty!"

* EvenEvilHasStandards: [[spoiler: Baby-Face Boretti]] has no problem with destroying a dam / lake to find some treasure, as long as nobody drowns when the resulting flood annihilates Camp Little Moose. [[spoiler:Of course, not having to worry about a murder charge just makes it easier to relax once he gets the treasure, so it may be a case of PragmaticVillainy.]]

* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: While possessing some distinct characteristics, Jessica has a lot of similarities to Crystal from the last movie in being a shapely, AmbiguouslyBrown woman who plays a major role in the runnings of a local institution and who Fred fawns over to Daphne's annoyance.

* WhoIsDriving: Scooby-Doo is driving! How can this be? (He drives well, at that.)

* CarFu : Scooby uses some very cool driving skills to capture the Fishman with the Mystery Machine.

** Ricky [=LaRue=] the bank robber has a getaway driver as an accomplice in the flashback but he [[spoiler:never went back for the treasure himself for some reason]].
Judging from how short the getaway driver was, looks like he was Baby-face Boretti. This also explains why he was La Rue's cellmate, they were convicted for the same crime.

* NeverRecycleABuilding: The town of Moose Creek was submerged for years, so it's naturally abandoned after the dam breaks. At the end of the film, Camp Little Moose and Camp Big Moose manage to turn it into a new summer camp after they combine forces.
