It's time for the exciting second round of our Best Haunted House polls! Let's check in on our winner from part 1. "The Loch Ness Mess," "The Exterminator" and "The Ghoul, The Bat and the Ugly" all came in last place with one vote each. "The Mystery of Haunted Island" and "Nowhere to Hyde" were not too far behind in fifth place with 5 votes each. "Wednesday Is Missing" was our fourth place choice with 7 votes. For third place, we had a surprising tie between "What the Hex Going On?" and "Guess Who's Knott Coming to Dinner?" Each option got 10 votes, and I have to admit I'm excited "Guess Who's Knott Coming to Dinner?" made it so high! "Haunted House Hang-Up" just barely rose above those options to make second place with 11 votes. Our first place option received 28 votes, and wins the weekly poll for the second week in a row! Our winner is "A Night of Fright Is No Delight," which is the first of three episodes to move on to our final Winner's Circle poll on February 5!

Where’s Sludge Monster from the Earths Core and Weredoo of Doo Manor?

Forgot about "Were-Doo of Doo Manor," and I hadn't considered "The Sludge Monster from the Earth's Core" as a haunted house episode. I would say a haunted dog house would count though, so I'll add it! Thanks!

That one doesn't really come to mind for me as a haunted house episode, but sure, I can add that.

Were- Doo of Doo Manor for me. This episode was just as dark as Curse of The Collar and it also focused on Scooby’s family like the collar episode.

It was tough not voting for that one, because I agree it's such a good episode. I could see this one winning.

Is it bad I remember very few of these aside the pup ones but none of those standout for me. Surprisingly the one that did was The Hand of Horror.

That's fair, other than "A Night Louse at the White House" and Bravo Dooby Doo, they were all Scrappy shorts so it makes sense they'd be forgettable. Yeah, "The Hand of Horror" is a great episode. Definitely one of the underrated Scrappy shorts.

Scoobygeist is a shining gem in the pantheon of 11-minute '80s episodes, so I went with that one. Bravo Dooby Doo in a close second. For some reason no Pup episode comes to mind for standout haunted house settings, probably because the vibe of the show in general doesn't give off the spooky atmosphere you'd expect from haunted house settings.

Yeah, the silly vibe of A Pup Named Scooby-Doo doesn't really make any of the haunted house episodes particularly memorable. I would argue "Ghost Who's Coming to Dinner" is memorable for the interesting story structure where the house is haunted by a real ghost who wants to stop the fake ghost.

Agreed, this one was just okay. The Ghost of Great Grandpa Scooby was kind of a meh villain.

I love this episode and it is my favorite 11-minute episode of the franchise. I really like how dark and creepy the tone of the episode is, and all of the different ghouls the gang runs into is super creepy. I especially like the poltergeists, the ghost playing the organ, and the Fireplace Fiend. This is my favorite of the haunted house episodes in this group.

It was cool to have an episode at the White House. It was neat to see Velma working at NASA. I really liked all the different ghosts of past presidents as villains! I liked seeing Scooby's parents and it was fun that they helped capture the ghost. I did not expect the ambassador and his wife to be the culprit either. The ending of the episode was sweet.

This was a great episode! I like the Doctor Who aspect where Scooby's doghouse is bigger on the inside than it is on the outside. The Sludge Monster is one of the coolest villains of the series. I like how grotesque he looked and that he only had one eye. The joke with the chip was funny. I also guessed the culprit pretty easily.

This is a great episode, and it would have gotten my vote if "Scoobygeist" wasn't here. I like how this episode had a dark tone similar to "Curse of the Collar." The opening was kind of unique and a very interesting lead-in to the episode. Nasty Doo was a really creepy villain. It was neat how the villain was Scooby's ancestor, and the curse that went along with it was a very interesting plotline. I also love Doo Manor; it's a great haunted house setting. I really liked Uncle Horton as well and always wondered if he was able to escape the monster that pulled him into his coat haha. Yeah, Gilda Squatter was an interesting character. The ending is pretty adorable.

I thought they did an amazing job with this crossover. Johnny Bravo fit in really nicely with the gang. Aunt Jebidissah's house made a great haunted house setting. I liked the Ghostly Gardener as the villain. Despite the very short runtime, this was a really good episode and they made great use of what little time they had. The mask bit at the end was really funny. It's interesting how Bigfoot was recolored. It was funny that one of the masks was Joe Barbera. I'll admit I did not guess the culprit. Yeah, that was super harsh that they tied him to a tree and left. It was fun that Speed Buggy showed up at the end!
