Scooby-Doo! Stage Fright (2013) 7/10

Starring : Frank Welker, Mindy Cohn, Grey DeLisle, Matthew Lillard
Director : Victor Cook
Running Time : 75 mins

In the twentieth of the direct to video Scooby-Doo series, Fred Jones (Welker) and Daphne Blake (DeLisle) take the gang to Chicago where they are finalists in a show called Talent Star, but it isn’t long before the gang discover that an evil Phantom is haunting the shows filming location – an old opera house - promoting one of the finalists over the rest in true Phantom style.

This was a decent enough homage to The Phantom Of The Opera with a modern day twist involving reality talent shows. The mystery is an interesting one, with the kind of twists that were more prevalent in the early direct to video Scooby movies, and the humour and character development – particularly the on-again off-again romance of Fred and Daphne – make this a treat for kids and adults alike.
