Scooby Doo on Zombie Island. Quite good.

Legitimately terrifying as a kid, I'd say largely in part due to the step up in animation as it was a feature length movie and not just a 20 min weekly cartoon, so you saw zombies deforming and it stuck with you.
I was only 12 at the time but found the "direct to video" route to be intriguing for the same reason you outlined. Made room for a more adult take on a typical crudely animated kids cartoon.
Also could tell at the time it was more of a Japanese-style animation. Checking wiki, I see it's the same studio that did Aeon Flux, Swat Kats, Johnny Quest ('96) and Mummies Alive so that makes sense. They were really the gold standard for cartoons in the 90s.
Unrated was the cheat code towards parental consent for exploitation/gore movies

This was the first TV I remember as a kid. I don’t even think we got a new one until like ‘95.
Those are the days when you would pay to get it fixed multiple times before even thinking about replacing

Shit I remember when the Maytag Man would come and fix your appliances.
Funny @wiretap . Only our "well to do" friends/ family had those TV sets... that was the way we looked at it anyway. Ours was an RCA color set on a rolling TV stand. It had a huge knob to change channels that sounded like a breaker turning on/ off. At least it was only three channels... four on a good day bringing us a fuzzy PBS. The black & white TV was upstairs in parents bedroom. It was small enough but must've weighed 30+ lbs.

Ha, interesting - my family was definitely poor as shit growing up. I think we only got a new one in the 90s because my mom won it in a raffle at her work one time.

I know they became the Stacy’s Mom band but my early pre-teen years of discovering music will always have a little place for this banger.
