I really _REALLY_ can't stand Goblin King. Not fond of boo brothers nor reluctant werewolf.
Do not like the two made for cartoon network live action "prequels" at all. But do like the two live action theatrical ones.
Music of the Vampire is ok to watch once in a blue moon if it happens to be on, but I don't think I would ever to be in the mood to choose to play it myself.
I break up the animated scooby movies into 4 groupings:
Group 1) the films of the 80's with scrappy or away from the basic mystery solving crew formula, like boo brothers, reluctant WW, Arabian nights. Anything that wasn't part of a series and came before Zombie Island I include in this group.
Group 2) the rebirth of the scooby franchise. The direct to video films that reinvigorated the franchise- zombie island, witch's ghost, alien invaders, cyber chase.
Group 3) the "What's new Scooby Doo" films, where the animation style and character sensabilities match the show. These include Legend of the vampire, monster of Mexico, chill out, pirates ahoy, aloha, loch ness monster, where's my mummy, and goblin king.
Group 4) the neo-cl@ssic modern style. Started with Abracadabra, camp scare, phantasaur, music of the vampire, & big top. This style and voice cast is also doing the specials like spooky games and the upcoming Christmas special.
My favorites are in group 2 and group 4.

Group 4) the neo-clbuttic modern style I see that the filters have struck again .

There are a lot of words with those three letters in a row.

Arabian Nights was not part of the 80s group. It was from during a time period when Hanna-Barbera was letting the cartoonists run their own creations instead of network executives, hence the reason why it sucked. "Legend of the Vampire" and "Monster of Mexico" are both more like "Scooby-Doo, Where Are You?" rather than the "What's New" style; featuring the original voice cast, classic animation style and artwork, similar music and vintage sound effects, etc. They were like a hybrid of groups 3 and 4.

I wouldn't consider Legend of the Vampire and Montser of Mexico to be closer to the Where Are You style. I've always considered them to be Pre-WNSD. It does have the same voice cast and similar sound effects as Where Are You, but as far as the animation style, I think that would be closer to WNSD.

I am somewhat simplifying things by only using four groups, but it's what works for me. I could have titled group 1 as "vhs/DVDs that came out before Zombie Island that are not part of a series and I have no desire to actually own." (which in itself says a lot because I do own every other Scooby DVD or bluray release expect those I put in group 1. And I'm talking EVERY release be it series, boxset, season, volume, movie, spin-off, tie-in or what have you) Also for my own purposes, I keep the groups in a chronological order...so I wouldn't jump legend of the vampire or such to a later grouping. Also, I use legend of the vampire as the start of group three because is is a significant change in style from cyber chase...but the transition from moster of Mexico to loch ness is more subtle. The change from samurai sword to abracadabra is pretty definitive. Could legend of the vampire and monster of Mexico be their own group? Sure I guess, but I don't see the need for additional categorizing.

They could be in different groups, but there's no need for them to be, like you said j3h.

Arabian Nights by a Fleet of Spaceball Motherships having gone to plaid an hour ago!
I'd say actually then that the other two would be Music of the Vampire and Goes To Hollywood. , or, Night Of The Living Doo if you want to count that here.

I absolutely hated Music and the Vampire and Arabian Nights. Music of the Vampire would have been good if not for all the singing. I loved the plotline.

Tim Curry was the Goblin King, not a werewolf, he was also in Witch's Ghost.

3. Goblin King 2. Samurai Sword 1. Arabian Nights Honorable Mention: Curse of the Lake Monster. Legend of the Phantosaur
I don't really care for the WNSD movies either. I think WNSD worked best as 22 minute episodes and not 72 minute movies.
