It's time for our final poll of the Haunted House poll series! Next week, we'll be combining all three winners from today's poll and the previous two weeks, and facing them off against each other to determine the Scooby-Doo episode that does the classic haunted house trope best.
The results for last week's poll were very interesting and kind of all over the map. A majority of the options got three votes or less. "A Fit Night for Bats" and "The Sludge Monster from the Earth's Core" both got zero votes. "Scooby's Roots" got one vote; "The Hand of Horror" and "A Night Louse at the White House" each got two votes; and "Wedding Bell Boos," "A Bicycle Built for Boo!" and "Ghost Who's Coming to Dinner?" got three votes each. Taking a look at the top 3, "The Were-Doo of Doo Manor" came in third place with seven votes. I was predicting this episode was going to win, but "Scoobygeist" ended up coming in second place with a total of 11 votes. Our winner this week got twice the amount of votes as any other option. "Bravo Dooby Doo" took the win last week, amassing a total of 22 votes!

Very tough. Escape from Mystery Manor, A Haunting in Crystal Cove and Night Terrors are so great and iconic. I will go with Mystery Manor though. But I cannot express how close these all are.

I'm honestly still a little conflicted on my vote, although I think I'll go with "A Haunting in Crystal Cove." "Escape from Mystery Manor" is a close second though.

Man, there's a lot of SDMI haunted house episodes. Shouldn't Nightfright also count?

There’s also Nightfright. It was Vincent Van Ghouls house.

It won't be my vote, but that's definitely an underrated episode! It's my favorite of Get a Clue.

I had some time to think about this one it was a tough decision. I went with Wedding Witch of Wainsly Hall. I was very impressed with that episode.

I loved this episode! It was a great way to update the classic haunted house joke. Yeah, that opening scene is super creepy! Shari's laugh was definitely creepy, as were the various Daphne's and Jeeves. I was really surprised the house ended up being the culprit. I agree with you that the final scene was intense!

This is my favorite Get a Clue episode! It was nice to have a return to the classic Scooby-Doo plot since that series is so different. The other mystery solvers were really cool. I liked the gorilla that acted like a human haha. I thought it was awesome that they showed scenes from old Scooby-Doo DTVs. The mansion was a super creepy haunted house setting. The Knight felt like a very classic Scooby-Doo haunted house moment. I really liked the creature that came out of the paintings. He was the creepiest villain of the episode. The Halloween Guy was a great villain, however, it was pretty obvious it was just Dr. Phibes. I guessed that the agents were the monsters as well. The scene where they're throwing stuff is pretty hiarliosu. The ending where they win the award was very heartwarming. It was hilarious that Chad was just a clown haha.

This was a great episode. I loved how Vincent Van Ghoul showed up. I found his tinkle jokes to be a bit over the top, though. It was a nice way to split up the episode to have it just be Shaggy and Scooby with Vincent at the beginning, then the gang coming in at the end of the second. The bit with Daphne being hungry was funny. It was cool that they referenced all those old horror movies! I really liked Nightfright as a villain. He was super creepy! The producer breaking the forth wall at the end was funny.

This was a great episode with a very dark tone. I really liked the Shadowy Figure as the villain. Lady Marmalade was a great character. The trap to capture the ghost was really cool. Fred naming the moose trophy head Tyler was funny. Yeah, it was obvious Pericles was the culprit after they showed those sunflower scenes. I was surprised about the mayor when I first watched the episode.

I knew who George Takei was before this episode too. I thought it was sweet how much the gang were doting on his voice. I liked the Ghost of the Doombringer as the villain. I also thought it was a neat ability that he was able to switch what suit of armor he was in. It was neat they had a Phyllis Diller reference here. Yeah, I liked the swordfight too. The ending was hilarious!

Watching this episode, I found that it has similarities to The Sword, The Fox, and The Scooby Doo. Both episodes guest stars are from famous space franchises: Mark Hamill Star Wars as Luke Skywalker, George Takei Star Trek as Sulu. In both episodes , Scooby is playing an instrument while the door gag scene is going on. Both guest stars sword fights with the monster.

Yeah, it was neat how they had two guest stars from franchises about space back-to-back! I didn't think about the other two similarities before but those are cool!

It was definitely close between this, "Night Terrors" and "High Tech House of Horrors," but I ended up going with the latter. I honestly would be happy if any of these three won, though.

Hi Tech House of Horrors is one of those. I applaud it for being a new idea at the time but the whole technology gone evil trope was old and outdated even before the early 2000s. 1/30/2023 09:16:47 am
That's fair, I liked how it was an updated version of the classic haunted house trope even the "technology gone bad" storyline had been done before in plenty of other shows and movies.

Okay so there are a good few on here that I would need to watch again to get a proper idea of how to rank the setting and don't really want to at the moment or just haven't seen yet so the ones I won't be ranking are: Mystery of the Missing Mystery Solvers, Scoobynatural, Hollywood Knights, The Wedding Witch of Wainsly Hall, and The Internet on Haunted House Hill.

13. A Haunt of a Thousand Voices! - it's a good episode, but not as memorable as iconic as I would have wanted it to be. The reuse of the same villains over and over kinda gets old, especially when they don't explain it except for kind of a vague mention that teases the audience.

13. I completely agree, and honestly, that is how I feel now about most of the episodes I remember liking in this series 1/29/2023 08:44:39 pm
2. "Wrath of the Krampus" used to be my favorite, but it's become "Night Terrors" over time for the amazing buildup and creepy atmosphere. Like Gatherer Hade mentioned in a comment below, the fact that even the gang has no idea what's going on for almost the whole episode makes it a lot scarier.

High Tech House of Horrors is getting more love than I expected. I honestly thought I would be in the far minority by choosing the one WNSD episode in a sea of great SDMI episodes that are all in the upper half of the show's episode ranking. Although I do think the votes will likely end up in an Escape from Mystery Manor or Night Terrors win.

Like you mentioned a couple months ago, it seems like the popular vote in the comments usually doesn't win. I'm predicting "Escape from Mystery Manor" will win, but we'll have to wait and see.

Yeah, so many great SDMI eps there.
Reply

All the SDMI episodes are great, but yeah, something about the complete uncertainty of what the heck's going on for the majority of the episode makes it a lot creepier and more sinister.

I liked that The Internet on Haunted House Hill had a lot of Scooby Doo elements in it. A spooky mansion, a really creepy ghost, Shaggy asks for a pepper, the ghost give it to him, he says thanks and the ghost says your welcome. Shaggy then realizes that it was the ghost that gave him the pepper. Shaggy, Scooby and Liza hiding under the bed, we see their eyes and then they see the eyes of the ghost get scared and run. I also like that it was a double unmasking with the Pizza guy then the Caretaker.

I liked that too! Liza fit very well into the episode. Yeah, the double unmasking was cool!
