Big Top Scooby-Doo!

---

(BEEPING)

(GUARD SNORING)

Like to thank the Academy...

...and all its members...

(ALARMS RINGING)

...and thank the little people!

Halt!

(GROWLS)

Oh. No, no! Aah!

(GRUNTS)

(GROWLING)

(SIRENS WAILING NEARBY)

Freeze!

(ROARS)

(OFFICERS GASP)

-Was that your mom?

-Dude, shut up.

(OFFICERS GRUNT)

-Did I hit it? I think I hit it.

-I don't think it matters much...

...unless you've got

silver bullets in that thing.

Also, you're right,

it did kind of look like my mom.

(HOWLS)

(GROWLS)

DAPHNE:

A whole week in Atlantic City.

This is gonna be the best vacation

since Pismo Beach.

Didn't we get attacked

by a demon clam there?

Okay, since Santa Fe.

Where we were chased

by those radioactive cactus monsters.

-Since Washington D.C.?

-Washington?

Hmm, Washington?

What happened there?

Hmm. Lincoln Memorial.

Oh, heh. Oh, yeah,

the Lincoln Memorial came to life...

...and tried to stomp on Scooby-Doo.

"Four score and:
"

(GROWLS)

Calm down, guys. This is Atlantic City.

The fun capital of the world.

Nothing bad ever happens here.

Well, gangland shootouts.

Okay, yeah, obviously,

gangland shootouts.

But otherwise,

it's nothing but fun, fun, fun.

Beaches and shows and--

(SHAGGY YELLS)

Wulfsmoon!

My favorite band.

Gang, we have to see them

while we're here.

Their lead singer, Wulfric,

is so awesome.

He does that one song that goes:

(HUMMING)

You think that's cool,

check this out.

A circus.

Remember how I explained to you

what "cool" means?

I love the circus.

You know, I took that

circus-arts class last summer.

ALL (IN UNISON):

We know.

I really could have mastered the trapeze

if I hadn't broken all those bones.

The trick is to not fall.

That's great, Fred,

but, like, not everyone loves the--

We gotta go see it tonight.

-Really? I think we'd rather--

-My treat.

-Maybe some other--

-I insist.

-But we don't--

-I'm glad that's settled.

You guys are gonna love it.

Hooray, the circus.

(SCOOBY GROANS)

Well, they don't open

till tomorrow night.

-Let's get going.

-Hang on.

-I wanna see if there's anyone here.

-Wait, no. Like, they're closed.

I am not going into a dark circus.

Hey, the door's open.

Let's just have a little look around.

(BOTH WHIMPER)

Okay, I am not staying

in a dark circus.

Look at this place.

Even the stuffed animals are scary.

Especially that. What is that, a clown?

Come on, guys.

On the creepy scale this place ranks

higher than a graveyard.

An old graveyard.

Higher than an old graveyard

in a swamp. On fire.

Hello? Anybody here?

Scoob...

...like, I have a really bad feeling about--

(BOTH YELL)

BOTH:

Phew.

(BOTH YELL)

SHAGGY:

Run, Scoob!

(ALL GRUNT)

(ALL SHRIEK)

What are you doing here?

I'm sorry. But the door was open

and we just--

Open? But I'm sure I locked--

(HOWLING NEARBY)

He is here.

-Come. We should stick together.

-But what--?

Come.

-He will not elude me this time.

DAPHNE:
Who?

The werewolf.

-The werewolf?

-The werewolf?

Yes. I think he is this way.

-Let's get out of here, Scoob.

-Okay.

(BABOON GRUNTS)

(SHAGGY YELLS)

Hey, it's a baboon.

BABOON:

Hmm.

Ah.

(CHUCKLES)

(BABBLES)

(BABBLES)

Let me try.

(MIMICS APE GRUNTING)

(GRUNTING)

(SNORTS)

(SNORTS)

(CHUCKLES)

Ha!

(SHIEKING)

Sorry, baboon dude.

I didn't mean to scare you.

(WEREWOLF GROWLING)

You again? It's just that--

(BOTH YELL)

(BOTH WIMPERING)

SHAGGY:

Werewolf!

(BOTH WHIMPER)

-There's nothing there.

-Yeah, guys, there's nothing--

-Nothing? Oh, heh. That's a relief.

-Yeah.

If it was right behind us,

you'd say something, right?

I don't wanna look.

I looked.

(BOTH YELL)

This way.

Down here.

Slow down, Scoob.

(SNIFFING)

Like, I think we lost him.

I think we lost everyone, Shaggy.

All I know is I don't wanna see

anything big and hairy.

Especially that, eh, Scoob?

-Let's see if we can find that werewolf.

-Find it?

I wanna run away from it...

-...like a terrified school girl.

-Yeah.

Let's find it

so you'll know which way to run.

But-- You know,

that kind of makes sense.

This place sure is empty.

Ah! Just a...thingy.

(BOTH SHRIEK)

You know, Scoob,

I think it went away.

(WEREWOLF HOWLS)

(BOTH SHRIEK)

(WEREWOLF HOWLING)

Velma.

Velma.

Quiet.

(GROWLS)

I can handle it.

Back.

-That's vampires.

-What?

-Garlic. That's for vampires.

-Are you sure?

Because I really think--

(ROARS)

Pretty sure.

I thought a little light might help.

It's gone for now.

Thank you.

I am Marius Brancusi,

owner of this circus.

How can I repay you?

Maybe first you should explain to us

what's going on here.

I inherited this circus

from my uncle last year...

...and I've been working to modernize it.

I've been making it more stylish...

...phasing out the animal acts,

giving it more of a theatrical flair.

Also I cleaned the toilets,

which has been a huge improvement.

All this has led to our latest show:

"Celestia."

This is so fantastic.

Did I mention I love the circus?

Uh, several times, yes.

-But what about the werewolf?

-It's terrible.

I thought tonight, while all my employees

are having a night on the town...

...I might find some clues

about the beast.

I'm certain the werewolf must be someone

who's part of the circus.

You mean, in disguise?

Perhaps it is not a disguise.

You understand that I'm saying

it might be a real werewolf, right?

-Yeah.

-It's just that I expected a bigger reaction.

I was being so dramatic

and did I show you my pectoral muscles?

Moving on.

All right. For the last few months, the

creature has plagued us wherever we go.

It has scared off many of my artists.

And in every city we visit,

it has stolen jewelry.

-Jewelry?

-Jewelry.

And I thought my accent was thick.

Anyway, it's very strange.

Why would a werewolf want jewels?

Like, maybe he's a lady werewolf.

Because, um, you know,

girls like pretty things to have.

It was just a thought.

I think I remember a case like this

in 18th century Bavaria.

-May I use your computer?

MARIUS:
Of course.

VELMA:

Bavaria, werewolf.

Oh, here it is. It was in Ingolstadt.

A werewolf known as "Hans"

collected certain gemstones...

...and used them to increase his power.

Normally, a werewolf

only becomes a wolf at the full moon.

But with the right combination of jewels...

...Hans was able to change from man to wolf

at any time.

He and the werewolves he created

terrorized lngolstadt for decades.

MARIUS:
Created?

VELMA:
Yes.

Anyone who is bitten by a werewolf

and lives turns into a werewolf.

Apparently, the Ingolstadt werewolves

claimed hundreds of victims...

...before being driven out

by Maximilian lll.

Wow, you guys are lucky

you didn't get bitten.

Yeah, like, we....

(GASPING AND CHOKING)

Everybody get back.

He's turning into a werewolf.

(PANTING)

Some friends. I need the Heimlich

and you're reaching for the silver bullets.

You get that?

Silver bullets for werewolves...

...garlic for vampires,

the Heimlich for Shaggy.

Who are you people?
