Top 10 Scooby-Doo, Where Are You? Episodes

It's still October, the month of Halloween. So, why not talk about my favorite episodes of one of the most famous horror/mystery cartoons of all time that still endures to this day, which is also a personal favorite of mine.

#10: Bedlam in the Big Top:  The story is the gang goes to the circus to investigate the mystery surrounding an alleged ghost clown who begins hypnotizing them. I have this episode on the list simply because I am terrified of clowns.

#9: A Gaggle of Galloping Ghosts: The gang is trapped overnight in a castle, where they must outrun the Universal movie monsters (Dracula, Frankenstein's Monster, and the Wolfman). I love this episode because it sort of pays homage to the classics, but also gives a pretty damn cool crossover that makes complete sense, even though you probably wouldn't expect it otherwise.

#8: Haunted House Hang-Up: I won't lie, I don't remember a whole lot about this episode, so it's pretty low on the list. I remember liking it a lot, and really dug the use of a headless ghost.

#7: That's Snow Ghost: When Scooby and the gang head to a ski resort for a weekend of fun, they find themselves involved with solving another mystery when a snow monster shows up to wreak havoc on the vacationers. The setting and the monster go hand-in-hand. One of the things I love about this particular episode is that it's legitimately one of the few times where they don't start out actively trying to solve a mystery. They just sort of stumble into it.

#6: A Clue For Scooby-Doo: While the gang is having some fun, they accidentally stumble across a ghost in a glowing green scuba suit. So, they begin trying to solve the mystery of who he is and what he wants. I love the look of the Captain Cutler ghost. He feels very vacant and empty with a hint of menace.

#5: What a Night for a Knight: The very first episode of Scooby-Doo, Where Are You? centers on the Black Knight Ghost and a counterfeit painting scheme. As I already said, this is the show's first episode. It sets you up for what the overall show is, and has a fairly engaging story. But, it still keeps it simple enough for younger viewers to follow and understand.

#4: Go Away Ghost Ship: I remember that this is one where Shaggy outwits the ghost of Redbeard with an eggbeater. This was the episode I first remember seeing that told me pirate ghosts could be a thing.

#3: Spooky Space Kook: Spooky Space Kook centers around the gang running out of gas in a ghost town. They then must solve a mystery around an alien that seems to be terrorizing the town. Now, the alien himself is actually pretty creepy and has damn cool look to him, which is why this episode is so high on the list.

#2: Jeepers, It's the Creeper The Creeper is probably the most famous of Scooby-Doo's monsters, and for good reason. His introduction is so out of nowhere that's kind of memorable and a touch eerie. I actually love the character of the creeper so much this episode has the number 2 spot on my list.

#1: A Night of Fright Is No Delight: This is quite possibly the episode of Scooby-Doo I've watched the most. Scooby-Doo receives an inheritance, and along with the gang goes and stays at a haunted mansion. The mansion, however, is haunted by a group of chained green ghosts. It also borrows tropes and inspiration from slasher flicks of the time period as well as Agatha Christie's And Then There Were None.
