Lego Scooby-Doo!: Haunted Hollywood (2016)

In 2016, a computer-animated comedy mystery film titled Lego Scooby-Doo! Haunted Hollywood (2016) was released. This movie marks the twenty-sixth installment in the direct-to-video series of Scooby-Doo films and is the first to feature the Scooby-Doo brand in Lego form. As they attempt to unravel the case of a sea creature haunting a lighthouse, Shaggy expresses frustration to Scooby about his friends always convincing them to be bait for monsters with tempting Scooby Snacks. Fed up, Shaggy and Scooby vow to never eat another Scooby Snack again. After successfully solving the mystery, the gang celebrates with a trip to a local malt shop where Shaggy and Scooby win a hamburger eating contest, earning them all a trip to Hollywood. Once they reach their destination, their first stop is Brickton Studios, an old horror film set that is facing closure. Junior, an enthusiastic horror movie fan who works at the studio, offers to show them around. Tagging along is Atticus Fink, a developer interested in buying and demolishing the studio. During their tour of the storage facility in Fink’s truck, they accidentally trigger something that causes Fink to abruptly leave.

After fleeing, they approach manager Chet Brickton for information about their experience. He reveals that all the monsters were once portrayed by Boris Karnak, an actor who passed away years ago. It is suspected that his ghost has returned to haunt the studio through the costumes of his iconic characters. Along with the Headless Horseman, apparitions of a mummy and a zombie have been reported, placing the studio in financial jeopardy and forcing Brickton to consider selling it to Fink. The group volunteers to assist Brickton in uncovering the truth. Their first stop is on the set of a romantic comedy film being produced at the studio, much to Junior’s dismay. Suddenly, the Headless Horseman appears and destroys the set, leaving Brickton feeling hopeless. The gang then offers to help him complete the movie.
