The return of the Hex Girls. Scooby Doo Down Under. Sharpen your pencils Pilgrims we are going in the Wayback Machine, second star to the left and straight on to the '80s.
This would have been three shades of awesome if it were released in the 80s instead of when I was, you know, 23.
It has the Crocodile Dundee 1980s obsession with everything Aussie appeal. And it has the Hex Girls, the New Age Wicca Eco-friendly Goth band that was...yeah, OK, they were totally '90s, but still, rip the arms off their jean jackets and draw a couple stars on their faces and they could pass for an '80s girl band rather than the '90s Grrrrl band thing they had going for them.
It wasn't as awesome as The Witch's Ghost or the Rice inspired Zombie Island, but it was still fun, if uninspired.
The Scooby Gang picked up their Archies roots and ran with it.
The only problem is that it seemed to go in too many directions at once.
Scooby Doo meets Burning Man...in Australia...meets Lollapalooza...with vampires....yeah, a few too many directions at once.
score 9/10
