The look on Uncle Stuart's face when Sharron asks him why he betrayed his brother and niece almost implies that he regrets what he's done but due to his jealousy for his brother he made a mistake thst would ultimately ruin his relationship with his niece and brother so I kind of wish they actually went more into Stuart's relationship with his brother.
The Ghost of Elias Kingston always looked very unsettling to me. Especially the animation when he turns Uncle Stuart into an old man, something about it always looked weirdly creepy to me.
I think that was the charm of the series, it may have scared us growing up - seriously the Creeper and that masked Witch Doctor from a Tikki Scare were in some of my nightmares, but it never stopped us from loving it. I think we were better off from watching these things because in the end we're not dealing with real ghost and monsters but some schmuck in costume who gets tripped up by a bunch of teenagers and their talking dog.
Especially with the “COOOOOOOME. COOOOOOOOME”
"I think I've found a clue"
"What is it?"
"Him"
God those lines always fucking got me.
This is one of my favorite episodes of the first season. It has a genuinely spooky location, a unique villain, the comedy is well done and doesn't derail the episode, and there's actually a decent plotline. I see this episode as being a great blueprint for what makes a good Scooby Doo episode in general. I'd put this episode up with A Night of Fright is No Delight, The Backstage Rage, Which Witch is Which?, and A Clue for Scooby Doo as my favorite episodes of the show.
Edit: Can't forget Haunted House Hang-Up
It’s weird you didn’t see this one a lot on CN cause I remember this was one of the first episodes I got on VHS as part of the Classic Scooby Doo line
One of my ABSOLUTE favorites! This ghost got me nightmares as a child! I love the castle, the atmosphere, the feel, EVERYTHING!
Episode 6 is when the series really started to get good! I LOVE THIS EPISODE! :D
Can't wait for the episode 'Backstage Rage', the most genuinely terrifying.
I don’t remember seeing this episode very often on CN, either. I wish I had seen it more; it’s one of my favorites.
It's one of those episodes that literally gave me nightmares because of the music and the aging thing. This and charlie the robot gave the creeps more than the Space Kook don't know why, maybe i saw Space Kook later in my childhood
My 2 favorite ones!
@@JettBlast They qre quite memorable i agree
This was one of my all time favorite episodes of Scooby Doo, but it's also one of the ones that genuinely gave me the creeps (hence why I loved it); the look of the ghost in general, with his huge yellow eyes that just stared at you with no blinking, the fact that uncle was agin rapidly, and then to top it all off, the scene where Shaggy says that he thinks he's found Uncle Stuart but a little older and then the next shot shows a skeleton!
Though, I think the part that always got me was when Stuart as an old man is in the shadows, and then all of a sudden the light turns on him and you see his face, and Scooby goes 'Ahh!' and the Uncle is just staring directly at the camera xD!
2:26 that scene always terrified me as a kid. I feel like the new versions of Scooby Doo focus on goofiness and jokes and lack such kind of scenes, which honestly, could make them better. The atmosphere is unmatched.
Elias is such an iconic ghost. Even making a return in Be cool scooby doo
I have the feeling the inspiration for this episode was Dark Shadows, it had that kind of vibe with it's art direction and the ghost in it, he's like a character from the show. Incidentally they brought back Elias Kingston for the Be Cool Scooby Doo episode, where he's described as a ruthless unprincipled cad, who believed young people were America's greatest asset, hence he set up the college.
You are completely correct; Elias was inspired by Barnabas, etc. Good catch.
I do love the ending to this episode a lot he gets caught by scareing him
Elias Kingston aka the creeper in his emo stage.
Yet another episode in the opening that I thought was just opening-exclusive animation.
Also, that 'Come' noise is just so frightening. I used to hear that as a kid and hide!
Absolutely. Super creepy, and I loved it.
I vaguely;y remember this one too but I will say the best part of this episode is that animation of the ghost casting a spell on the uncle, that hand thing he did was super cool looking with how it was drawn 1:39
1:30 that shot always creeped me out when I was a kid with the man and ghost staring at each other in the creepy mansion.
the "ghost" in this one always reminded me of Patrick Troughton, the 2nd Dr Who.
It reminds of Stan Smith from American dad
He actually reminds me more of a "non-vampire" Barnabas Collins from Dark Shadows which looks as if this episode drew a lot from, including the building.
For years I’ve wondered when I would see the haunted mansion in the intro and after all these years I’ve finally got to see it when I rewatched all the episodes of Scooby-Doo Where Are You on HBO Max including the ones I’ve never seen before and also why Shaggy slipped on Roller Skates in the bathtub as a kid I saw these clips in the intro including Fred getting pulled behind a bookshelf but never understood the context until I saw the episodes they were actually in.
In Stuart Wetherby’s defense, I’m not sure a well thought out ghost extortion scheme would have worked any better. It’s hard to scare people into handing over their family fortunes.
Always loved this spooky episode. Like the Indian medicine man, this spook knows he's up to no good. Glad you liked this one Cyd. Great review.
Am i the only one who thinks the ghost of Elias Kingston looks kinda like Stan Smith from American Dad?? Lol
I just want to say thank you. As a lifetime horror fan, I am disappointed to have only recently found your channel. I have watched 20+ hours of your material now. You are the second most knowledgeable (behind Joe Bob Briggs), and by far most humorous horror review host I have ever watched. Thank you for bringing me hours of joy and entertainment amid one of the most terrifying times our world has ever experienced. You've been a real help to me.
One thing that always stumped me was how Uncle Stewart managed to make his neck wrinkly and thin. I understand using makeup and a wig to make himself old but there would be NO way he could make himself look thin in such a short time.
Cartoon logic🤷
I remember seeing this episode fairly often as a kid, so it stuck with me well enough, probably helps that Kingston's ghost and the mansion he "haunted" appears in the opening of each episode, but Kingston's design and the spookier atmosphere of the episode definitely stuck with me as a kid. I love it when Scooby-Doo leans more towards the spooky side of things, makes it a good way of introducing kids to tame but still eerie elements of horror before they're ready to level up to the real stuff >;3
I also like Kingston's setup, what with the movie makeup and camera tricks, ya gotta give him credit for trying such a brazen scheme, pretending that he himself had been cursed by the ghost he was masquerading as to steal the family fortune for himself, a much riskier con than simply running around trying to scare people away from his ill-gotten gains.
The “ghost” just looks like a blue shaggy with a haircut.
This episode was always one of my all time favorites! I feel like I saw it a million times as a kid so it’s actually kind of weird seeing that so many others didn’t see it often!
I saw this specific episodes multiple times on VHS! Thanks for the nostalgia trip man, hope you talk about all the classics.
I remember this episode used really scare me
I remember this episode my favorite part is when Shaggy tells the lady her fourchon that she's dancing with a man and he tells her get off my foot. What a classic episode.
Everytime you say “What the Hex going on?” I keep thinking you’re actually asking that question till you carry on and it always throws me off 😂
This episode is when i learned shaggy could throw his voice
weird to think there's only 19 episodes left.
The ghost of elias kingston was absolutely memorable to me. He was one of the scariest villians to me as a kid.
It's one of the best episodes of the series
This episode scared the shit out of me back then.
The table with a motor on it under it is like a drone operated table futuristic thinking there plus when he first cast the spell to make it mold there is one second in which he looks really scary that looks like it should have been in mysteries Inc
You're not the only one with trouble remembering this one episode Doc!
Over here in where I live (Argentina), we have this channel called Tooncast that is basically Boomerang but with other cancelled or ended Cartoon Network shows. And I never ever remember this episode airing! And I watched the channel on a regular basis.(Not as much now a day's) Maybe it was because they were airing other more well knowed episodes and they didn't air this on as frequently. Who knows... But after this video, I'm really interested in seeing this episode.
Well what can I say... You can't Say Boomerang without Boomer... :)
The ghost in this episode and aspects of the plot remind me a lot of Dark Shadows. The ghost looks basically like Barnabas Collins dyed blue, and whole two mansions and double crossing relative plot would've felt right at home on the original series, with the addition of some actual ghosts.
Tuesdays are now my favorite day because of this channel! Thank you doctor wolfula
Wow, I have a strong recollection of this particular ep.,but I watched Scooby reruns via TBS. Could be I watched a shit ton of TV but I guess when u only got a few chanels to choose from some things stick out.thanks for jogging my memory.p.s.thanks for the uploads at a time when people need something to take their mind off things.
I miss after school days,Saturday’s and hooky days. Great vid as always Wolfula
He was wearing glasses under all that makeup?
Yeah, I call no way.
Honestly I think the villain is based on Heathcliff from weathering Heights A creepy old guy who runs around in a deprecating mansion he did that in the second part of the book.
Am I really about to join a patreon for scooby doo reviews lol? Yes, yes I am
Elias Kingston's design was recycled for The Creeper
The house where ghost lives is similar to old Collins house on dark shadows
I had the same experience with this episode as well. I remember seeing it like once or twice when I was really young but whenever I would watch reruns of SDWAY on cartoon network years later, this episode was very rarely aired. It wasn't until I bought the SDWAY Complete 1st & 2nd season DVD collection that I was able to watch this episode again after so long. I even remember when I bought the DVD collection and looked at the episode listing & saw "What the Hex Going On?" my immediate reaction was "What is this episode? I don't think I've seen this one" lol.
I remember the music to this one keeping me up at night, as a little boy. That haunting voice moaning "come" did nothing to help. Especially during adolescence...
I feel like this one was on all the time on CN! One of my favorites from the original series!
Maybe this episode wasn't in circulation so much because it's so frightening. At least for me it was. 25+ years later and I still remember it.
Dr. Wolfula's fascination with this show is begining to have me assume it's where his Love for horror movies/series began
His makeup is so good it even covers his glasses, Fred just wipes it off. There they are, lol😂
this episode scared me the most as a kid. the man becoming possessed and aging quickly was horrifying.
I am looking forward to the Kooky Space Kook, and Foul play in Funland!
My favorite episode
Best mansion in the series, that is for sure.
Cartoon Network aired this one many times along with the others. Watched them to send myself to sleep my first year in college.
Wished the ghost of Elias Kingston looked like in the episode like he does in the intros pale green almost chalky
I have scooby doo where are you? Seasons 1,2,3 and the movies with celebrities on dvd, sometimes I have a scooby doo-athon
This episode must have been rerun daily. I’ve seen this episode on tv more than probably any episode of Scooby doo. Very interesting to hear you did not have the same experience
They didn't rerun it much on cn but it showed up boomerang here and there
The shower gag always cracked me up😂
Highlight of my week.. I know it sounds sad but it really isn't
The scariest part of this episode as a kid for me was when uncle Stuart popped up in the dark shadows as an old man..Was hella creepy at the time lol…
Hey scooby whEr'$ Mr. Goulash? !😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆
After you finish the original series, think you could review The Scooby Doo Show too?
So there's not another Scooby-Doo's day video yet until the virus crisis is over?
He faked his age as a old man.
The Scooby Doo show really plays up the creepiness
Did they reuse the monster for the Creeper?
I swear, I always confuse this villain as The Creeper or Mr Hyde.
Not one of the best villains in my opinion. A ghost that ages people into corpses sounds really cool and creepy, but Kingston himself turns out to be kind of a dupe, especially when the gang tricks him and he breaks character.
Scooby doo is awesome
SWOOCE
Doc Can You Please Review Dangerous Worry Dolls Please
Yo, I hope you'll do reviews of the Scooby 80s movies eventually - Boo Brothers, Ghoul School and Reluctant Werewolf.
Honestly, I think the dude looks like Barnabas Collins, but with blue skin.
You’re not mistaken this was a very under played episode I think I’ve only seen this like maybe two times in my entire life before I even got the box set
I love this
Another groovy vid! 😎👍
Cool episode
😂😂😂
First
I remember seeing this one during Scooby marathons but yeah it oddly never re-ran a whole lot. My only guess is the implied death scene was maybe seen as a bit much for day time Cartoon Network at the time (I remember day time airings of old Loony Tunes shorts tended to also edit out any scenes featuring characters attempting suicide by pointing guns at their heads, like that one short when a dog thinks it actually killed Bugs).
