Rondo Hatton may have somewhat inspired The Creeper from Scooby-Doo, Where Are You? Hatton played a character named The Creeper in two different films, House of Horrors and The Brute Man. In these films, The Creeper was not a monster, but rather, a madman whose body was horrifyingly disfigured. In House of Horrors, The Creeper becomes the inspiration for an artist's sculpture, but when critics denigrate the artist's work, he has The Creeper murder them. The Brute Man continues a similar plotline, where The Creeper marauds around town committing brutal murders. Before any more films could be made, Rondo Hatton died of a heart attack in 1946, at the young age of 51. Hatton did not live to see the reaction to his films, as they were released after he died. Unfortunately, the reception to both of these films was generally negative, with much criticism of Rondo Hatton's acting. Thank you so much to Lance for suggesting this idea for a fun fact!

I remember reading about Rondo Hatton a few years ago when I watched the old Sherlock Holmes movie, "The Pearl of Death", where he also played a Creeper character. 10/3/2022 06:54:38 pm
Oh wow, I didn't know about that one! That's cool he played the Creeper in so many roles.

The Velma social media accounts are officially public and active. And we can gather some important information from them:

No, they don't say anywhere that it's a prequel to SDMI. Just because it's set in Crystal Cove doesn't mean it's connected to SDMI. It's clearly not at all from everything we've seen so far. Happy Halloween is in Crystal Cove but it ain't related to SDMI either. 10/3/2022 08:07:25 pm
That's awesome! Thanks for sharing! I'll make a post about it a minute.
