What's New Scooby-Doo?

Scooby-Doo Halloween

Season 2, Episode 15, Aired 10/24/03

Episode Summary

In this primetime special, the Scooby Gang heads to the eerie town of Banning Junction to spend Halloween with Velma's aunt (voiced by Julia Sweeney), uncle (voiced by Diedrich Bader) and the beautiful and flirtatious cousin Marcy (voiced by Jenny McCarthy). The gang joins the townspeople in celebrating their renowned "100 Years of Halloween" festivities, including a crowning of the Queen of the Masquerade Ball and an amped out performance by KISS (with the voice of Paul Stanley). But when strange and spine-tingling things begin to happen, a fearful townswoman (voiced by Rhea Perlman) blames it is the ghost of Hank Banning, the town's founder and ousted mayor, back to seek revenge on the town that wronged him 100 years ago. While Shaggy (Casey Kasem) and Scooby (Frank Welker) anxiously wait to meet KISS, go trick-or-treating for tons of candy and have -- not regular scary, but Halloween scary -- fun, they reluctantly aid Fred (Welker), Daphne (Grey Delisle) and Velma (Mindy Cohn) in putting their investigative skills to work in hopes of revealing who is really behind the Halloween mischief. Additional guest-voice appearances in the special include Stacy Keach, Tom Kenny and Daran Norris.moreless

"Abysmal"

By WerePickleZelda, Feb 22, 2007 Report Abuse

I think this is the worst episode of 'What's New Scooby Doo' ever. It has a completely stupid storyline and bits that don't even go anywhere, for example, why did the ghost come back for revenge anyway, and what did the evil robots have to do with anything? Also, the inclusion of canned laughter made the lame jokes even lamer. It was like the television was laughing at its own jokes! Even the celebrity cameo of KISS was pointless because they didn't do anything except play music, which was also bad.
After I watched this episode, I felt releived that it wouldn't come on again untill next halloween.moreless

ADD TRIVIA
- The song featured in this episode is "Shout it out loud" by KISS. Edit
Notes
ADD NOTES
- This episode features a laugh track in it, similar to how the 1969-1979 Scooby-Doo cartoons had the infamous laugh track. Edit
- Villian: Marcy Reason: She wanted to scare everyone and ruined Halloween, because her parents let a holiday come before her birthday. Edit
- In one scene, Scooby hides from the pumpkinhead robots near Shaggy dressed like a werewolf. Shaggy resembles how he was in werewolf form in the feature length movie Scooby-Doo and the Reluctant Werewolf (1988). In this movie though, Shaggy was wearing the red shirt and blue jeans. Edit
