This movie is the proof that the world is becoming a sick and dumb place

Good start, but then it gets ruined

It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...

The acting in this movie is really good.

The Ghoul School was the movie I grew up w/ so it holds meaning to me more then the others...my brother & I always liked the van Shaggy, Scooby & Scrappy were driving during the opening credits w/ the workout equipment in the back. I thought this film was funny w/ pretty good characters throughout & of course Matches who is a pet, little fire-breathing green dragon. It also had a good, slightly creepy feel to it that I also identify w/ in other 80's cartoons. The private boys school next door to the ghoul school was funny & seemed like a perfect scenario for our Scooby trio...good beginning & good ending. Loved it.

Personally speaking I love Ghoul School, it's not as good as Reluctant Werewolf or Boo Brothers (my personal favourite) but I enjoy it a lot more than Scooby Doo goes Hollywood. I used to watch it all the time when I was a kid I only stopped watching it so I could prevent the video from completely wearing out.I'm not really a fan of the newer movies like witches ghost or zombie island, it's not that I think their bad I just prefer the cell animation that I watched when I was growing up.Any kid who loves Scooby Doo will probably enjoy watching this film, there are some cheesy puns in it but I don't think that will bother them.

I'm not usually one to lay the praise on a television movie, but this movie simply took it to a whole new level. I was always something of a Scooby Doo fan when I was younger, and after several years, just catching this movie on Cartoon Network brought back some memories.I remember when this movie would premiere on television ALL THE TIME!! I would never get tired of it, no matter how many times I sat through it. Some scenes and quotes from this movie are somewhat memorable (take note that I say "somewhat" because I can recognize a lousy pun when it's told.) Some of the music was memorable, and the thing that definitely got this movie up on my list, is the fact that Shaggy and Scooby actually warm up to the girls, even though they ARE ghouls through and through. We get enough of them running like chickens in the television series and other movies, although in this case, it's refreshing to see them gradually get a little more open minded, although the ending is rather sensible when they run away from the "new students". One year at Grimwood is enough.Normally, I thought '80's television movies were unbearably cheesy, but this gave me a merciful break from that. I've always loved this particular '80's movie, because Hanna-Barbera is one of the greatest animation duos in the world.Upon reading other reviews for this film, I recall one reviewer noting that the vampire Sybella was his/her one reason of seeing the movie. While mind-wandering boys share those same kind of sentiments no doubt, I would have to note that I was indeed one of them when it came to the original characters of this movie, although for me, it was for Phantasma, or Phantie the Phantom. There was just something about the obnoxiously 80's hairdo and the fact that I thought she was really cute that just got into my head.Although several reviews have completely panned this film, I seriously recommend this film for children who are into Scooby and the gang, or for die-hard fans of the old cartoon who are willing to see some long lost forgotten ground.

Most likely inspired by the episode from "New Scobby-Doo Movies" where Tim Conway guest stared and Shag and Scoob were the "worlds greatest athletes." This TV movie released in 1988 is another bad `80s Scobby cartoon. The whole concept is lame and a horrible transition from chasing 13 ghosts to teaching a group of female ghouls.1(*)out of 4(****)stars
