8. Scooby Doo

Does this really need an explanation? Who doesn't know what Scooby Doo is?! Fine... I understand. I'll explain. We only make quality articles on The Odyssey after all.

The original Scooby Doo called "Scooby Doo Where Are You" ran from 1969 to 1970. Fred, Daphne, Velma, Shaggy and great dane Scooby doo travel around in a van solving mysteries. The van is called "the mystery machine" and they call their organization "Mystery inc". Fred is the determined leader. Daphne is a fashionable danger prone read headed woman. Velma is the brain. Shaggy is a coward who constantly has the munchies. Scooby is Shaggy's best friend and has some talking ability.

Next came "The New Scooby Doo Movies". Each episode was one hour long. They had a guest star in each episode who help Mystery Inc solve the mysteries. This lasted for two seasons like the original.

The Scooby Doo Show (1976 to 1978) was the first ABC ran Scooby Doo cartoon. The first two were CBS. It ran for three seasons.

In 1979, Scooby's nephew Scarppy was introduced in an attempt to boost ratings. Episodes from 1979 to 1980 aired under the name Scooby Doo and Scrappy Doo. Fred, Daphne, and Velma were removed from the show in 1980 for "Scooby Doo and Scrappy Doo shorts" which were three mini episodes per a show which features Scooby, Scrappy and Shaggy. This continued until 1982.

The New Scooby Doo and Scappy Doo show also known as The New Scooby Doo Mysteries brought back Daphne. She solved mysteries with Scooby, Shaggy, and Scappy as well as working as an uncover reporter for s teen magazine. In 1984 to 1985, Velma and Fred came back and had semi regular appearances.

After that came "The 13 Ghosts of Scooby Doo". In this show Daphne, Shaggy, Scooby, and Scappy along with new characters Flim-Flam and Vincent Van Ghoul travel the world to capture the 13 most terrifying ghosts on earth. There was 13 episodes made. Upon its ending in December of 1985, it took Two more years for a Scooby Doo show to be aired...

"A Pup Named Scooby Doo" came out in 1988 and lasted for three seasons. It has the original Scooby doo characters; Fred, Daphne, Velma, Shaggy, and Scooby as Junior High aged students. In this series you learned more about the character's back grounds, and their hometown of Coolsville. It also had a cool cartoony like animation similar too looney toons.

After a bunch of movies and reruns, Scooby Doo finally had a new show come out in 2002 which was called "Whats New Scooby Doo" Its similar to the original but takes place in modern time with more modern technology. Also Shaggy is now a vegetarian.

In September of 2006, Shaggy inherits money and a mansion from his uncle Albert. Albert is an inventor who has had to go into hiding to keep an invention of his away from evil villains. These villains try many times to get the inventions from Shaggy and Scooby. Shaggy & Scooby Doo Get A Clue ran for two seasons.

Scooby Doo rebooted in 2010 with Scooby Doo Mystery Incorporated. In this one they are high school age and solve mysteries. There is a bigger focus on romantic relationships between the main characters and interpersonal conflicts. Their home town is changed to Crystal Cove California and as a bigger main story, there is a huge mystery surrounding the town. New pieces of the mystery come to light with each new episode.

There is also Be cool Scooby Doo that came out October of last year (2015). I don't know enough about the show to talk about it.

If you would rather watch Scooby Doo movies, you have over forty to choose from.

While any of these would fit with the Halloween theme, in my opinion the original series, Whats new Scooby Doo and a Pup named Scooby Doo are the best three of the Scooby Doo tv shows.

9. Buffy The Vampire Slayer

Buffy Summers is the newest in a long line of vampire slayers who have been chosen by fate. In Sunnydale California, Buffy along with her friends Willow, Xander, and her watcher (teacher and trainer) Giles, among other characters through out the series, team up to defeat vampires demons and other dark forces using combat, magic, detective skills and occult knowledge. Buffy's mom, her sister Dawn who mysteriously appears in season five, Tara the witch, and vampires Angel & Spike are also popular characters who reoccur through out the show. With 7 seasons, over 100 episodes and three Emmy awards, it is worth a lengthy binge watch. Finding this addicting show won't be tough either! Its on DVD, Hulu and commonly reran on TV. Also if Angel becomes one of your favorite characters, I have good news for you; he has his own spin off show!

11. Dark shadows

Dark Shadows was a gothic soap opera that was shown in 1966 to 1971. Creator Dan Curtis had a dream about a young and mysterious women on a train in 1965. The day after, he told his wife about his dream and and told ABC about his idea for a TV show which was how Dark Shadows came to be. The woman on the train in his dream became the character Victoria Winters who was an orphan that ended up in Collinsport Maine. Next came the Collins; Elizabeth Collins Stoddard who hasn't left the home in over a decade, her bother Rodger, her daughter Carolyn Stoddard and Roger's troubled son David collins. Victoria becomes governess of the house hold. Despite how popular Barnabas Collins is in the Johnny Depp Dark Shadows movie, that character's story didn't appear until episode 202. Another interesting thing about the soap opera's plot is there are flashback story lines (the years 1795, 1840, 1840, and1897) as well as stories that take place in the present day of when the soap was made and even stories that take place in the future (the year 1995). It was common practice to destroy old tapes for recycling back then or store them away never to be shown again, but luckily most of the episodes still exist. Syfy on very rare occasions shows reruns of the show. They are also available on VHS and DVD. There is also a few Episodes on Hulu and Hulu plus.

If you love what you see and fall for the characters, there was two movies made during the series, over 30 books, and a few audio dramas. Some of the audio dramas use original cast members from the show.

A second series was made in 1991 which was developed by original creator Dan Curtis. It only lasted for 12 episodes. The series starts with Barnabas accidentally being released. The series is on VHS and DVD. Syfy and Chiller show reruns on rare occasions. Its also available on Hulu. So finding it shouldn't be tough.

There is also the Tim Burton Johnny Depp Dark Shadows movie. Many fans will say the show is betters though. The feel of the show and the feel of the movie differ which is one of the main issue many fans have.

12. Halloween Wars

Food Network's Halloween Wars is a seasonal competition that has been taking place since 2011. Six teams of three people each compete in challenges to make the best over the top, most unbelievable Halloween treats. Two challenges are given an episode and there are weekly eliminations.

13. The Simpsons: Treehouse Of Horror

Ever since season two in 1990, The Simpsons have had a Halloween episode each year. Each Episode has three short tales that feature Simpson characters put in horror, sci-fi, fantasy, and supernatural situations. The episodes are commonly parodies of popular TV shows, movies, and books. This seasonal series is so popular that it has its own action figures, monopoly game, books and comic books made.
