* BullyingADragon: It doesn’t seem to cross Daphne’s mind that challenging a witch with apparent magic powers is a bad thing to do, probably because she figured (correctly) that she couldn't actually do magic.

* BullyingADragon: ActionGirl: Daphne and Velma immediately rush to pummel the "witch" when it seems like she's kidnapped Scooby. It's actually Shaggy in the PaperThinDisguise described below, but both girls are shown getting in a few good punches before he reveals himself.

** When Shaggy emerges from his hiding place in the sack of money, he thrusts some cash into the zombie's hands and shouts "HERE, DOUBLE UGLY! Go buy yourself a new face!" In this case it's deliberate, as he and Scooby are goading the zombie and witch into chasing them.



* FairPlayWhodunnit: Viewers can actually solve the mystery by taking note of the various clues the gang finds: a metal-tipped pole in the zombie's boat, a wench, and various power tools. From there it's logical to determine that the zombie and witch are hunting for something large and metallic in the swamp--and sure enough, they're after an armored car full of sacks of money.
* GoneHorriblyRight: Zeb and Zeke pulled off an armored car robbery, then hid the car itself in a swamp, figuring they could go back for it once the heat died down. Unfortunately, the plan worked too well--they lost the car and had to start searching for it, prompting them to don the witch and zombie disguises to scare everyone off.



* RiseFromYourGrave: The zombie is brought 'back to life' by the eponymous witch.

* SmokeOut: This is the witch's main power--she can conjure a "smoke of evil" to make herself and others appear and vanish instantly. Velma later proves that Zeb is using small pellets to create the smoke and vanish in the confusion.

** The "witch" haunting the area turns out to be a man in a dress and mask. Bonus for points for having Creator/DonMessick [[LarynxDissonance supply a fake "old woman" voice]] for the "witch" (even though we never hear the man's real voice.)

* HeadsIWinTailsYouLose: Shaggy suggests he and Scooby have a coin-toss to decide who checks on a shadowy figure outside; "Heads I win, tails you lose." Scooby falls for it and agrees (well, he is a dog).
* NeverSmileAtACrocodile: The gang encounters an "Enter at your own risk" sign with a hissing crocodile for atmosphere. However, the crocodile itself doesn't do anything.
* PaperThinDisguise: Shaggy and Scooby disguise themselves as the titular villain using nothing but a purple sheet and a mop, with Shaggy passing off the "What Are Little Boys/Girls Made Of" nursery rhyme as a witch spell. It works. Shaggy and Scooby call the zombie stupid as they're walking away...and then Scooby notices that the zombie saw and grabbed his tail, which was protruding from the back.
