YMMV / Scooby-Doo! and the Legend of the Vampire

• Awesome Moments: When the Sun rises, Scooby's dog tag glows and releases a beam that destroys the Yowie Yahoo.
• Awesome Music:
  • "Getaway Yeah", the song that plays during Scooby and Shaggy's chase sequence with the Wildwind vampires, is very catchy and nice to listen to.
  • All the Hex Girls' songs, as expected, are awesome music.
• Broken Base: Design wise, the gang go back to their original outfits rather than their modern wear from the previous movies. For some older fans, this is awesome. For some newer fans that mostly got here from the Darker and Edgier previous films, it sucks.
• Ensemble Dark Horse: Despite this movie being their only appearance, Wildwind seems to have a decent-sized fanbase. They're basically a KISS Expy that look even more badass as vampires—the band itself would probably put butts in seats if they were actually real.
• Hilarious in Hindsight: The film centers around a blatant expy of KISS, which became funny when KISS themselves starred in one of the Scooby Doo films—Scooby-Doo! and KISS: Rock and Roll Mystery.
• Narm: The constant reuse of the background music from the original Scooby-Doo, Where Are You! makes it hard to take certain scenes seriously, such as Daphne discovering the equipment hidden in Vampire Rock, due to the goofiness of the music clashing with the intended dramatic nature of the scenes.
• Nightmare Fuel: The Yowie Yahoo is far from the scariest villain in the franchise, but his ghoulish face, deep, unsettling laughter, and huge size make him intimidating enough in his own right. He looks like a rock version of Chernabog.
• Sequelitis: For those who feel the Scooby-Doo movies fell victim to declining in quality as the series went on, the trend almost certainly started with this film.
