** The gang goes back to tell the doorkeeper what they've found. As Daphne tries to shake him awake, his head falls to the side and they realize he's a puppet.

--->'''Freddy''': (suddenly stuttering) I-uh-he-he's a puppet too!

* As a whole, CBS rejected the show's original presentation art (under its working names ''Who's Scared?'' and ''Mysteries Five'') because it was loaded with Nightmare Fuel. It was CBS children's programming head Fred Silverman who told Joe Barbera to give the show a comedy slant.

The [[WesternAnimation/ScoobyDooWhereAreYou original show]] is full of ScoobyDooHoax in every mystery the gang encounters however there are points [[ParanoiaFuel that it can get]] [[NightmareFuel legitimately scary]].

** Making things worse? The sound of the alien ghost-ship [[RecognizableBySound can be recognized as]] the "electronic rattlesnake" noise from ''Film/TheWarOfTheWorlds''.
