Scooby-Doo’s Horror Poster Parodies
For spooky season, the official Scooby-Doo Instagram account shared posters parodying popular horror films, including Backrooms, Obsession and The Shining. The twist was putting Scooby and the gang into familiar horror scenes, with titles like “Snackrooms” and “The Whining”.
Why it worked: It hijacked peak spooky-season search interest by parodying this year’s hottest horror titles with a beloved legacy IP on an official channel.
The lesson: Consider parodying the week’s most-searched cultural hits with your brand’s characters or assets, released on an owned, verified account.
