Warner Home Video (Now Available Attraction Bumpers)

1st Bumper (2000)
Note: The bumper takes place during a clip of Scooby-Doo on Zombie Island.

Bumper: We start with a black background, which waits for about a second. Suddenly there is a very bright lightning flash, revealing what appears to be a tall and empty hall of a supposedly haunted castle, with some wooden doors closed in the distance. We start to fly with the camera very fast towards the wooden doors only to be cut off by another very bright lightning flash, revealing a closer look at the wooden doors. We slowly pan with the camera a little more towards the wooden doors, followed by us getting cut off by a third very bright flash of lightning. The very bright lightning flash reveals the wooden doors very close to the camera, with two green hands of a scary monster tearing the wooden doors off. The camera soon switches to the monster's point of view. Within the green room from which the monster tore the wooden doors, the Mystery Incorporated (Inc. for short) gang is seen screaming and running off to the left and right of the screen. The order they do so and the direction they are running are in this list: As soon as Shaggy and Scooby-Doo run off of the screen, the dust takes about a second to clear up, revealing the bumper (the Warner Home Video logo with the text "Serif" arched in gold above it) superimposed on the wall where the Mystery Incorporated gang was hiding. The monster's shadow is seen behind the bumper as we slowly pan towards it with the camera.
 * Fred, Velma, and Daphne. They run to the left.
 * Shaggy and Scooby-Doo. One runs to the left and the other runs to the right.

FX/SFX: The entire Scooby-Doo on Zombie Island clip. The superimposed bumper (the WHV logo and the gold text above it) itself is still, and the clip freezes as it appears.

Music/Sounds: Typical horror music comprised of ominous horns, accompanied by the sounds of thunder as the lightning flashes, the doors being ripped apart, the howls and growls of the monster, the screams of all five Mystery Inc. members, and cartoon sound effects for when Shaggy and Scooby exit the scene.

Availability: Rare. Can be found only on 2000 VHS tapes of Scooby-Doo and the Alien Invaders.

Editor's Note: None.

2nd Bumper (1999/2000)
Bumper: We fade into a scene from the Merrie Melodies short Bedeviled Rabbit, in which we see the Tasmanian Devil (Taz for short) spinning onto the screen, in the middle of a very strange forest. He then stops spinning and searches the area, looking for something to eat, and immediately takes notice of Bugs Bunny, who we see sitting on a rock reading a book. The camera then changes to Bugs' point of view looking at the pages. The Tasmanian Devil then turns a page of Bugs' book that reveals the bumper as a giant picture in the book that takes up an entire page. The bumper features the Warner Home Video logo superimposed on the standard cloudy sky background, with the text "Serif" in a stacked gold font with "Serif" on top, "Serif" in the middle, and "Serif" on the bottom above the Warner Home Video logo. The book is then suddenly eaten and chewed up by the Tasmanian Devil.

FX/SFX: The scene of Bedeviled Rabbit, with the moving cloud background of the WHV screen that is boxed within the short as a page of Bugs's newspaper.

Music/Sounds: Just the audio of the short, which is accompanied by a triumphant fanfare when the Tasmanian Devil turns the page of Bugs' book, followed by biting sounds when the Tasmanian Devil is seen chewing on Bugs' book.

Availability: Extremely rare. Can be found only on a VHS of Scooby-Doo in Arabian Nights.

Editor's Note: None.

1st Bumper (December 1991-Mid 1992)
Bumper: On a dark blue gradient background with a faded WB shield behind it, we see a coloured CGI WB shield in the top right, continuously rotating left. Below the shield are the words "Times New Roman", or in the case of All Dogs Go To Heaven, "Times New Roman", in a white Times font. A 3D VHS cover for the film being advertised is seen on the left of the screen. The bumper then either fades to black, or to the opening shot of the trailer.

FX/SFX: Only the CGI shield rotating.

Music/Sounds: The opening audio of the trailer.

Availability: Extremely rare. So far, only two tapes are known to contain this; the Christmas Vacation variant appears on the rental edition of Nothing But Trouble, whilst the All Dogs Go To Heaven variant appears on the retail edition of Rover Dangerfield.

Editor's Note: None.
