Throwback Tuesday takes us back to Scooby Doo, Where Are You! for another mystery involving some meddling kids and their talking dog. While taking a shortcut through a swamp, Mystery, Inc. runs into a Zombie (John Stephenson) by the side of a road and a story about a Witch (Don Messick) cursing the deserted area with dark magic. While the gang uncovers clues as usual while being chased by one or the other monster, the largest clue comes from pure luck when their out-of-control boat snags a sunken armored car which the masked hoodlums have been searching for this entire time. Why they dressed up in odd disguises when there was no one to scare is a bit of a head-scratcher, especially as it causes the gang to stick around rather than continue on to their planned fishing trip.

Throwback Thursday takes us back to Scooby Doo, Where Are You! for another mystery involving some meddling kids and their talking dog. Mystery, Inc. investigate the Mummy of Pharaoh Ankha (John Stephenson) which appears to have come to life at the aptly-named Department of Archaeology. While looking for answers, the gang runs across both statues of the Professor (Don Messick) and Dr. Najib (Vic Perrin) made to look like the mummy petrified both men. After getting separated from Scooby (Don Messick), the gang find a statue of him as well (although it doesn’t take long for Scooby to dig out of the shed where he was being kept and break the illusion of petrification). While there’s some obvious holes in the idea of the quick molds (not to mention the impossibilities of a mystical table saw), the statues add a nice touch to the story and help inspire fear of the Mummy who is searching for a golden coin that unlocks hidden treasure.

• wiki: link

Throwback Thursday takes us back to Scooby Doo, Where Are You! for another mystery involving some meddling kids and their talking dog. A run-in with two performers fleeing a circus leads Mystery, Inc. to investigate the mysterious events under the big top where a Ghost Clown (Barry Richards) has been chasing away all of the entertainers. There’s less haunting than usual, instead the Ghost Clown hypnotizes various characters into putting themselves in danger while sitting back to enjoy the show. Because so much of the episode is taken up by various members of the gang being hypnotized, there are also less clues to be discovered as the motives for the Ghost Clown turn out to be exactly as they appear.

Throwback Thursday takes us back to Scooby Doo, Where Are You! for another mystery involving some meddling kids and their talking dog. Scooby (Don Messick) and Shaggy (Casey Kasem) stumble onto a mystery when a violin case full of money falls into their laps, only to disappear thanks to some misdirection involving a dog puppet that leads Mystery, Inc. to the Strand Theater (perhaps a reference to Sherlock Holmes?) in search of answers. The backdrop of an empty theater with false walls, tunnels, and hidden rooms offers an exciting setting for the mystery.
