Operation R.E.L.P Novelisation

The Operation R.E.L.P Novelisation is the first of the Short Stories written and released for the series. While it tells the same story as the original film, we get to see things from the perspective of an elderly Scooby Doo and gain more insight into the context of the scenario and world. The story ends with the death of Scooby Doo, but foreshadows greater trials ahead.

Behind the Scenes
This was the narrative that sparked the idea of the Short Stories series and the first written tale of Scooby Doo's exploits. Whereas the original Operation R.E.L.P film was designed to be a comedy, author J.D. O'Hallaran decided to take a darker and more mature approach to the novelisation of the story, aiming for a slightly wider audience. This methodology ties in with the darker and more serious tale that is set to be told in the upcoming Operation S.C.O.O.B.Y film.
