Plot

Mystery Inc. Fred Jones, Daphne Blake, Velma Dinkley, Shaggy Rogers and Scooby-Doo, attends the grand opening of the Coolsonian Criminology Museum, featuring an exhibit of monster costumes from Mystery Inc.'s past cases. However, the celebrations are crashed by an "Evil Masked Figure", who announces the gang's impending downfall, before stealing two costumes with help from a supernatural version of the Pterodactyl Ghost. After that, a smear campaign against the gang is started by journalist Heather Jasper Howe. Shaggy and Scooby, feeling responsible for ruining the plan to prevent the villain's escape, reflect on how many times they have previously blundered. They then vow to stop bungling up in cases, making attempts to solve the mystery and better themselves, which confuses the others. The gang suspects that a former enemy may be the culprit and after dismissing the former Pterodactyl Ghost, mad scientist Doctor Jonathan Jacobo, due to his apparent death during a failed prison escape, they settle on his cellmate, former Black Knight Ghost Jeremiah Wickles.

The gang visits Wickles' mansion, where they find a grimoire previously owned by Jacobo that serves as an instruction manual for creating real monsters through black magic and mad science. Meanwhile, Shaggy and Scooby find an invite to the "Faux Ghost" nightclub, a hang-out for unmasked criminals. They are suddenly attacked by the Black Knight Ghost, but the gang escapes. Shaggy and Scooby sneak out to the Faux Ghost in disguise to interrogate Wickles, but escape when the patrons see through their ruse. Velma identifies a key ingredient in the grimoire as "randominium", located in the old silver mines. Fred, Daphne and Velma then visit the museum, accompanied by its curator Patrick Wisely, whom Velma has a crush on. However, they find out its entire exhibition has been stolen. Patrick is distraught and leaves to solve the mystery himself.

Fred, Daphne and Velma confront Wickles at the mines, but they learn that he is planning to reopen them as an amusement park. Upon learning Wickles hated Jacobo, they conclude that he is innocent. The gang reunites upon finding the Monster Hive, containing a machine that transfigures the stolen costumes into monsters. Shaggy and Scooby play with the machine’s control panel, carelessly activating it and transfiguring the rest of the costumes. The gang flees from the newly created monsters with the panel.

The Evil Masked Figure, along with the monsters, begins to terrorize Coolsville, forcing the gang to flee to their old high school clubhouse in shame, where they realize they could reprogram the control panel by altering its wiring. When the Ghost of Captain Cutler emerges from the nearby lake, the gang races back to the mines to reinstall the reprogrammed panel. One by one, the gang split off to lure away the monsters, leaving Shaggy and Scooby to deliver the panel to the Hive. Velma finds a shrine dedicated to Jacobo seemingly built by Patrick, leading her to suspect that he is the Evil Masked Figure; however, this is proven false when he saves her from a collapsing catwalk, before he is caught by the Pterodactyl Ghost.

The gang oppose the Evil Masked Figure and the other monsters at the Hive, but are all captured one by one by the Tar Monster and about to be suffocated to death. Luckily, Scooby deters it with a fire extinguisher, before reconnecting and reactivating the control panel, reconfiguring the monsters back into costumes. Mystery Inc. then unmasks the figure as Howe, only to reveal she is actually Jacobo in disguise. Having unintentionally faked his death, he plotted revenge against the gang, even framing Wickles to cover his tracks. With Jacobo brought back to justice, the gang is praised as heroes once again. Fred and Daphne begin a relationship, Velma finally dates Patrick, Shaggy and Scooby regain their self-confidence and they all celebrate their victory at the Faux Ghost.

Canceled sequel

In October 2002, Warner Bros. approved production of a third film. Dan Forman and Paul Foley were hired to write the script for Scooby-Doo 3. In August 2004, Matthew Lillard said in an interview that the third Scooby-Doo film was canceled because the second had not done as well as expected, which he attributed to Warner Bros. releasing it at an inappropriate time. In a 2019 interview, James Gunn revealed that he was set to write and direct but the film did not happen due to the financial disappointment of the previous film, stating, "although it did well, it didn't do well enough to warrant a third, so the movie was never made."{{Cite news|url=https://comicbook.com/movies/2020/03/16/scooby-doo-3-james-gunn-writer-director-deal/|title=Scooby Doo: James Gunn Says He Was Set to Write and Direct Third Movie|date=2019-03-16|work=comicbook|access-date=2020-03-30|language=en-US|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200407123922/https://comicbook.com/movies/2020/03/16/scooby-doo-3-james-gunn-writer-director-deal/|archive-date=April 7, 2020|url-status=live|first=Charlie|last=Ridgely}}Gunn tweeted the plot for the canceled film in 2020.
