Scooby-Doo! Spooky Scarecrow Review
The Plot: Scooby and the gang head to a small town But the gang will have to solve another mystery as a scarecrow is haunting the local cornfield.
Am I the only one that feels like we’ve seen this mystery before? Don’t get me wrong, this was a fun episode, and definitely a step up from Mecha Mutt Menace. But it’s not overly original. Mystery Inc goes to a small town where a scarecrow is ruining Halloween for the townspeople. It’s basically the same plots we saw in A Scooby-Doo Halloween and The Frickert Fracas. For once I’d like to see to see a Scooby-Doo Halloween episode that doesn’t feature a a scarecrow as a villain{not counting Halloween Hassle at Dracula’s Castle, which WB strangely decided to remove from this DVD set} Other than that one big nicpick though, I definitely enjoyed it. I especially liked the final chase between the gang and Cornfield Clem{who, I admit, is a cool looking villain}.
I enjoyed the humor as well, especially the Shaggy/Scooby stuff. There’s a hilarious moment where Fred mistakes a guy for wearing a mask. Also, I loved that Shaggy was wearing a Blue Falcon costume at the end.
Spooky Scarecrow is not the best Halloween special we’ve gotten, but it’s certainly enjoyable. I just wish it was a little bit more original. 7/10.

So much better than Mecha Mutt. Better storyline, plot, but the villains were equally cool.
