I wish Frankencreepy was a back door pilot for a Scooby series with old villains coming back for revenge. It would’ve been fun trying to figure out who’s back for revenge each episode. There could’ve been team-ups with the villains just like the movie, too.
I kinda hinted at this in my Velmoco playlist, but I've been thinking of an AU idea after watching Trick or Treat and some other Scooby movies.
In this universe, Velma is a loyal employee at Coco's costume factory. At first their relationship is kinda like Burns and Smithers but less abusive, but Coco eventually reciprocates Velma's feelings. This version of Mystery Inc. has Verona, from What's New Scooby-Doo?, take Velma's place on the team.
An incident causes Coco's factory to be burnt down, so Coco's in need of a new HQ. Velma is then told about her family inheritance, like in Frankencreepy, and gives Coco the idea to make the Transylvania castle their new factory. Here, they end up stealing the exo-suit from the Department of Defense and turning it into the monster instead of the other Scooby villains.
I have now watched all 59 Scooby Doo specials, films, direct to DVD movies, and whatever the heck you would call "Scooby-Doo! In Arabian Nights", which I refuse to believe is a Scooby-Doo film at all
I'm shocked by what movies I ended up really liking and what movies I ended up really hating, if you asked me before watching them where I guess certain films would be on the list my ass would've been dead wrong in a lot of cases
The only Scooby Doo special thing of note that I've not watched is Scoobynatural, but that's because it's an episode of a non-scooby show and not it's own special release
I might make a longer, more coherent ramble post later about different movies and my thoughts on them

what i think your favorite animated Scooby movie says about you (part 3)
• Kiss Rock and Roll Mystery: you’re either both a KISS and Scooby fan or you like this movie because of how weird it is
• Big Top Scooby Doo: you like anything to do with the circus and you’re terrified of that one scene where Scooby turns into a human in Shaggy’s nightmare (it’s ok i am too)
• Frankencreepy: you’re either chill or one of the worst people to ever walk the Earth. there’s no in between.
• Legend of the Vampire: again, you like the Hex Girls, but you’re also nostalgic for Scooby Doo Where Are You
• Pirates Ahoy: again, you have autism. and you have a special interest in pirates
• SCOOB: you like Hanna Barbera characters in general
• Monster of Mexico, Samurai Sword, Arabian Nights, and Aloha Scooby Doo: i honestly don’t really know what to say for these ones sorry LOL
• The Mystery Map: you like puppets
• Krypto Too: you like DC and probably grew up with Krypto
• The Scooby Doo Project: (including this cause the characters are animated even though they are in a live action setting) you like The Blair Witch Project and found footage horror movies in general
I feel like daphne and velma were meant demonstrate opposite approaches to womanhood. Daphne is dressed in the trends of her time and Velma represents the rise of women's liberation. She even explicitly says so on the Scooby Doo Show ("chalk another one up to women's lib") And what was great is that she never resented Daphne for being girly. recent attempts to make velma envious of daphne (moon monster madness) or jokes where we are meant to laugh at her failed feminity (legend of the phantosaur) or her insulting daphnes appearance (frankencreepy) are so incredibly insulting to her character's origins and so is giving her increasingly sexualized character designs. Her design was purposefully androgynous for the time period with her short hair, bulky glasses, and oversized sweater. It's honestly so strange and regressive for her to become increasingly feminine, especially over the last ten years. I would expect Velma to be in pants by now.
scooby doo frankencreepy is simultaneously the best and worst scooby doo movie ever made. it makes zero sense but oh my goddd do the jokes hit its so FUNNY. VELMA TRIES TO EXTRACT SHAGGY AND SCOOBYS BRAINS
