Scooby-Doo and the gang are on the case when a mysterious lake monster starts scaring the guests at a summer resort in Erie Point, where Fred, Daphne, Velma and Shaggy have taken on seasonal jobs to pay for a barn they accidentally burned down.

Scooby-Doo! Curse of the Lake Monster recap
A live-action sequel to The Mystery Begins. To work off damages from an earlier case, the gang takes summer jobs at the country club run by Daphne's uncle Thorny in Erie Point, and on opening night a giant frog monster attacks. The local lighthouse keeper tells them the legend of Wanda Grubwort, a witch driven from town centuries ago who turned a frog into a lake monster with her staff. The friendships come under strain: Fred and Daphne have started dating and struggle, Shaggy has a crush on Velma, and Scooby feels left out. As the attacks continue, clues point to Velma, and the gang learns that Wanda's spirit has possessed her. The cast and Frank Welker return from the first film, and it premiered on Cartoon Network in 2010.
