Despite never being given a name in "A Gaggle of Galloping Ghosts," many fans refer to the gypsy in the episode as Carlotta. She's even referred to as such in "The Creeping Creatures" from Scooby-Doo! Mystery Incorporated. However, Carlotta wasn't a fan-made or retconned name; it actually came one of the official Gold Key comics released in February 1972. #10 of the Scooby-Doo...Where Are You comics, "The Ghosts of Grimstone Manor," featured an adaption of the classic "A Gaggle of Galloping Ghosts" plot. In the comic, the gypsy is given the name of Carlotta, even though she was not named in the episode. A model sheet recently listed on eBay also alludes to the fact that the name Carlotta may have been on an early draft of a script for the episode.

The comic also has the castle located in the desert which imo is a much more unique setting

I haven't read the comic, but that's super neat! That's a really unique setting to have a castle.

That's super interesting! I wonder if the Spanish dub happened before or after the comic was released.

Both from the 70s. I'm sure that didn't matter tho. They probably were given a script with all the characters names and Carlotta's was right there and they added it to the translation for funsies. That's my theory at least. 12/6/2023 09:29:29 pm
Wow, this is so cool! I had no idea about any of that! I'll definitely write an article on all of this. I don't have time to read the entire articles right now, but I skimmed them and I'm excited to check them out more in depth! Thanks so much for sending all these articles!
