Scooby-Doo! And Kiss :Rock And Roll Mystery (2015) 7/10

Starring : Frank Welker, Mindy Cohn, Grey Griffin, Matthew Lillard, Gene Simmons, Paul Stanley, Eric Singer, Tommy Thayer
Director : Spike Brandt & Tony Cervone
Running Time : 75 mins

In the twenty-fourth of the direct to video Scooby-Doo series, Scooby (Welker) and the gang travel to Kiss World, a theme park modelled after their favourite band, Kiss. There they discover that the park is haunted by the Crimson Witch (voiced by NCIS star Pauley Perrette), who plans on summoning The Destroyer from the parallel world of Kissteria.

This was an odd Scooby mystery as, at least for a time in the movie, the viewer is led to believe that what is happening is for real. When there’s the revelation that it was all a mass hallucination, it feels like a bit of a cop-out, but it doesn’t stop the movie from being fun. Fans of Kiss will love the music, and also the fact that the band provide their own voices and make fun of themselves. Overall this is a solid instalment, though it does at times feel like it’s purely a marketing ploy (though they joke about this too).
