Scooby-Doo on Zombie Island is a direct to video animated film released in 1998, produced by Hanna-Barbera & Warner Bros., and based upon their Scooby-Doo Saturday morning cartoon. The Mystery, Inc. gang of Scooby-Doo, Shaggy, Fred, Daphne, and Velma travel to Moonscar Island which is located in the Louisiana bayou.

Scooby doo on Zombie Island Plot is based on Glenn Leopold's Swat Kats unfinished episode "The Curse of Kataluna".

Plot

After years of unmasking phony ghosts, the Mystery, Inc gang goes their separate ways. Daphne and Fred go off to start a successful TV series, Velma opens a mystery bookstore and Scooby and Shaggy work as customs officers at an airport. However when Fred decides that the next episode of their show should be about real ghosts, the gang get back together to travel across the deep south. After many `men in masks' they arrive in New Orleans & are invited by a woman named Lena to go to her home, Moonscar Island, which is supposed to be haunted by the ghost of a pirate named Morgan Moonscar.

The gang arrives on the island & meets Simone Remoir, a beautiful French woman with a love for felines, who explains about the hauntings, they also meet Jacques who runs the boat to Moonscar Island.

The first two-thirds of the film play out like a regular Scooby-Doo cartoon, with the gang checking out clues & proving that the "ghost" it was just a person in a mask. During the third act, however, it turns out that the island is home to real zombies. The zombies, however, are the good guys & are trying to warn the Mystery, Inc gang. It turns out that Simone, Lena & Jacques are cat monsters who drain the life force out of people to keep and preserve their immortality. The zombies were their many victims. The gang, along with Simone's gardener Bo( who's really an undercover police officer) defeat the cat-creatures and the zombies' souls rest in peace.

Like a number of direct-to-video Scooby-Doo films released in the late 1990s and early 2000s, Scooby-Doo on Zombie Island features real monsters instead of simple bad guys in masks. While some viewers dislike this aspect of these films' plots, others welcomed the change. The videos sold well and received generally positive reviews in the press.
