After the gang solves another mystery, they go to Banning Junction to visit Velma's family for Halloween, but they meet ghostly scarecrows who try to ruin the festivities. The gang attempts to save the town before the ghost of Hank Banning appears.
!!This episode includes examples of the following tropes:
* ClingyJealousGirl: Daphne does not like seeing Marcy get close to Fred, and this ends up being one of the reasons she names her as a suspect.
* FictionalFanRealCelebrity: Shaggy is a big fan of Music/{{KISS}}, and knowing that they're attending the festivities is one of the reasons he's so eager to go. Shaggy wants Paul Stanley to sign his forehead.
* HateAtFirstSight: When she meets Marcy for the first time, Daphne immediately starts to dislike her the moment she acts catty towards her. Flirting with Fred in front of her certainly didn't help matters. Daphne doesn't even hesitate to name Marcy as a suspect because of this, and she takes a lot of satisfaction when she's exposed and gets sentenced to community service.
* InstantlyProvenWrong: When Daphne questions Marcy's whereabouts before she met the gang at the town square, Marcy tells her she was working her part-time job at the mall and shows everyone the security footage to prove it. Daphne doesn't believe the girl in the footage is Marcy (even though they do look very much alike) and claims that could be anyone, only for a guy outside the camera's field of vision to call out Marcy's name and the girl in question turns her head in response, leaving a gaping Daphne to look down in embarrassment, and Marcy to smirk triumphantly.
* ItsAllMyFault: After Marcy her reasons for trying to ruin Halloween, her parents blame themselves for putting the holiday over their daughter's birthday.
* KarmaHoudini: Downplayed. Once Marcy is exposed as the culprit, she is sentenced to community service since nobody got hurt in her scheme and what she did wasn't technically illegal, which is basically a slap on the wrist.
