Go To

Release Date: July 15, 2000

In this Made-for-TV Movie, Kenan and Kel encounter the Headless Knight during a family road trip.


  • Bitch in Sheep's Clothing: Arthur acts like a decent guy to his guests, hiding the fact he's a cannibalistic killer.
  • Bolt of Divine Retribution: Roger gets struck by lightning twice.
  • Cassandra Truth: Kenan tries to warn the Rockmores about the Headless Knight, but they refuse to believe him. Roger finds out at the end, though.
  • Comically Missing the Point: Kenan, Kel and the Shellys try to escape the mansion, but are stopped by Bethel and Chives, to which we get this exchange:
    Bethel: You're not leaving through this door.
    Kel: Oh, well could you show us to another door we can leave through, then?
    Kenan: Kel, I think you're missing the point.
    Chives: You're not leaving through any door.
  • Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass: The Shelleys are largely ditzy and cheerful throughout the whole movie, even acting positive when they're about to be brutally murdered by Arthur. But they're the ones who save the day when Bethel and Chives are prepared to destroy Kenan and Kel—both Shelleys leap into action and effortlessly beat up the servants, moving so quickly that the bad guys don't land a single blow.
  • A Fate Worse Than Death: Arthur's head has to deal with an itchy nose with nothing to scratch it, given his body ran away.
  • Fingore: Arthur's head bites Kel's finger, to which the latter groans in pain.
  • Formula-Breaking Episode: The movie was shot on film and on location, and had no need for a live audience or a Laugh Track.
  • Horrible Judge of Character: Per usual, Kel sees nothing suspicious about Arthur until Kenan outright spells it out to him in the bedroom.
  • Lethally Stupid: Kel sprays gasoline all over Roger.
  • Off with His Head!: The Headless Knight decapitates his victims before eating the rest of their bodies.
  • Oh, Crap!: Kenan and Kel when Arthur finds out about their escape plan.
  • Overly Long Gag: "One Million Bottles of Orange Soda on the Wall". Kel only stops at eleven, to Kenan's frustration.
    Kenan: You mean we had to sit through "A Million Bottles of Orange Soda on the Wall"! And you're just gonna stop at eleven. You're not even gonna finish?!
    Kel: Nah, I'm tired of that song.
  • Selective Obliviousness: The Rockmores refuse to listen to Kenan about the Headless Knight in spite of seeing a museum exhibit of it and hearing multiple people talk about it.
  • Soundtrack Dissonance: The haunted house's doorbell is the "La Cucaracha" tune.
  • Too Dumb to Live:
  • Unwanted Assistance: Kel puts on the vibrating function on Kenan's bed to help him out with his anxiety, but this leaves Kenan unable to sleep.
