The Lamp is a 1986 horror parody film written and produced by Warren Chaney and directed by Tom Daley. It stars Deborah Winters, James Huston, Andra St. Ivani and Scott Bankston. The film was produced by HIT Films and released by Skouras Films. The original movie from Skouras ran 104 minutes but for reasons unknown, the U.S. distributor, The Movie Store TMS, edited eighteen minutes from the film, changed it opening credits, altered the music track for an alternate title, The Outing, which was released the following year. This produced an essentially different film. The Lamp received favorable reviews in Europe and Asia however; The Outing reviews were slightly less so.
The Lamp and its altered version fared well in distribution and both were still in the marketplace well into the 21st century. Each has received somewhat of a cult following in the years since their original distribution.
Synopsis
The Lamp’s introductory scenes suggest the film is a tall tale steeped in mythology and exaggerated mayhem that parody slasher films of the 1990s. The picture opens on board a cargo ship sailing from the Middle East (Damascus) bound for the old shipping seaport of Galveston, Texas. On deck, dead sailors litter the planks. One crate that appears to have been ripped open from the inside indicates that it was bound for a Houston museum.Actors

The movie opens with Mystery, Inc. being pursued by a moat monster. After an accident with Scooby-Doo (Scott Innes), he is caught and revealed to be a counterfeiter. This is actually an old case of the now-dissolved Mystery, Inc., who went their separate ways because they were frustrated with their mysteries having all involved mere crooks in monster costumes, as told on a talk show program by Daphne Blake (Mary Kay Bergman), who now, along with Fred Jones (Frank Welker), is running a successful TV series Coast to Coast with Daphne Blake, which involves her and Fred going to historic and inspiring places all across the country. For the show's upcoming second season, Daphne intends to visit haunted and mysterious places and track down real ghosts. When Daphne confesses on air that she misses the gang and that she wishes they were with her, Fred arranges a reunion and contacts Velma Dinkley (B.J. Ward), who has gone on and become the proprietor of a mystery bookstore, and Scooby and his owner Shaggy Rogers (Billy West), who have been bouncing from job to job, including working in customs at an airport, from which they were just fired after eating all the confiscated imported foods. The reunited gang surprise Daphne on her birthday and they go for a trip to Louisiana for her show.
