Scooby-Doo is a classic Hanna-Barbera cartoon that was introduced to the world in 1969. It has lived on throughout the years, not only as the original cartoon but in various remakes of the show, alongside both animated and live-action films. The anticipated animated movie, SCOOB!, is set to be released in May of this year.

Scooby and the gang have had many adventures, and we love the always-hungry duo of Shaggy and Scooby, the intelligent Velma, leader Fred and fashionista/danger-prone Daphne. From facing villains like the Creeper and the Space Kook, here are 10 of the best episodes of the original Scooby-Doo series, according to IMDb.

10 “Who’s Afraid Of The Big Bad Werewolf?” (8.3)

While the gang is out camping, they cross paths with a werewolf. Determined to follow his trail, the gang is led first to an open, but empty, grave before heading on to an abandoned mill. It’s there that they officially meet the werewolf (who is later given a haircut thanks to Shaggy and Scooby). The gang investigates and finds that there’s more to the mill than meets the eye, including empty barrels and sheep.

They uncover the operation of sheep smugglers, and save the werewolf after he’s gone over a waterfall after their original plan is botched. Not bad for a night’s work, especially when the night started out with roasting hot dogs and a struggle to put up Scooby’s tent.

9 “Scooby-Doo And A Mummy, Too” (8.3)

The Mummy of Ankha supposedly comes back to life in search a gold coin that will unlock a grand treasure. The gang meets him upon returning from their outing for some sandwiches to find their professor missing and the mummy on the loose. They spend the episode figuring out the meaning of the coin, while avoiding the mummy.

Of course, he turns out to be a fake, but he’s certainly one of the more memorable villains, especially since Shaggy dubs him “the creepy coin collector” based on the mummy’s continued use of “coin, coin” in order to get the gang to hand it over. The mummy winds up caught in a basketball hoop, after a fun little chase involving a power mower.

8 “What The Hex Going On?” (8.4)

One of the creepier episodes of Scooby-Doo, the gang finds themselves involved in a mystery while helping their friend Sharon. The ghost of Elias Kingston has placed a hex on Sharon’s Uncle Stuart that made him an old man, and threatens to do the same to the rest of the family if not given the family fortune. The gang looks deeper into the mystery, especially after Sharon’s gone missing and her uncle has become a skeleton.

There are several things about the ghost that don’t add up, and as they dig further, Scooby ends up getting to play a swami for a customer and the gang plays a series of practical jokes on the ghost, scaring him into a trap. Turns out the culprit was Uncle Stuart all along, trying to scare his family into giving him the entire family fortune.

7 “Nowhere To Hyde” (8.4)

The gang gets a fright when they discover the Ghost of Hyde in the back of their van. He escapes into the marsh, but the gang follows him, finding a spooky home. It belongs to Dr. Jekyll, whom they meet after literally dropping inside, and Jekyll claims to be the Ghost of Hyde, producing some stolen jewelry as proof.

As the gang searches the house for clues, they start to believe that Helga the maid may be the real criminal, but it turns out Jekyll was framing his housekeeper. After his failed experiments, he’d turned to a life of crime. He certainly wasn’t an upstanding citizen, and he tried to turn Shaggy into a frog when Shaggy discovered the important clue of the suction cups. As Helga proclaimed, “Shame on you, Dr. Jekyll!”

6 “Haunted House Hang-Up” (8.5)

Heading to a rock festival, the gang takes a detour that leads them right to the home of the Headless Specter, where their van breaks down. Shaggy and Scooby go to the well for some water, only to see a ghost floating towards them. They later find it’s just a balloon with a sheet. As they’re chased by the headless specter, they come to find he’s not really a villain, just a man intent on finding treasure that’s rightfully his.

The gang team up with him to help look for it, and they uncover another ghost, who is actually a greedy neighbor that wanted the treasure for himself. They set up a trap for him by tripping him, and by happenstance he runs his head into the right column, unveiling the carpetbag containing the treasure. All’s well that ends well, leaving the gang to go on to their rock concert.

5 “A Gaggle Of Galloping Ghosts” (8.5)

Despite a warning from the gypsy fortune teller, Scooby and his friends head towards the Franken Castle anyway. They wind up being chased by a Frankenstein monster, Dracula and a werewolf. We have to give props to the villain in this episode for playing so many monsters.

Turns out said villain is after the Franken treasure, which are jewels sewed into some tapestry. The most hilarious part of this episode is watching Shaggy and Scooby pretend to be mad scientists, and just as they reject one of their concoctions, it sends the werewolf on his way, without them ever knowing he was there. Though, they do nearly get caught by the Frankenstein monster, narrowly escaping. Good thing they’re fast.

4 “Which Witch Is Which?” (8.5)

The gang runs into the odd pair of a witch and a zombie who have been haunting a swamp, scaring everyone away. The witch makes voodoo dolls of the gang to scare them, even making Daphne disappear. The rest of the gang soon finds her on an old riverboat, along with a winch and some power tools. Purely by accident, the gang discovers an armored truck in the swamp, and it explains the tools.

Shaggy and Scooby get into some money bags and trick the witch and zombie into a trap. Turns out the two had stolen the truck long ago but had forgotten where they stashed it, hence the witch and zombie disguises to scare people off while they searched for their stolen money.

3 “Spooky Space Kook” (8.5)

A ghost from Outerspace haunts an abandoned airfield. The gang becomes involved after running out of gas, where they meet a farmer that initially tries to shoo them away with a shotgun believing them to be reporters. On his land, they see glowing footprints and decide to look into the matter further.

They’re soon chased all over the airfield by the Space Kook. This villain is known for his high-pitched laugh and unusual appearance, considering the spacesuit and only a skull showing for a head. The Space Kook turns out to be the neighbor of the farmer the gang met earlier, using the Space Kook disguise to scare people into selling their land cheap. Thanks to a wind tunnel, the Space Kook is no more.

2 “Jeepers, It’s The Creeper” (8.6)

The Creeper is one of the best-remembered villains in Scooby-Doo. After discovering an unconscious bank guard in the road, the gang is given a blank piece of paper with the guard saying that “the flame will tell…the Creeper.” They drop off the bank guard at the nearby home of the Bank President, and then head onwards to their school dance, which the Creeper crashes.

He ends up chasing them all over creation, after the paper that will reveal the true bank robber: not the Creeper, but the Bank President himself. All but Scooby and his newly adopted chick wind up in the unintentional trap of hay bales, where the Creeper is unmasked and we hear the famous “blasted meddling kids.”

1 “A Night Of Fright Is No Delight” (8.8)

The highest-rated episode of the original series does not disappoint. Scooby is named as one of the heirs to a million-dollar fortune, but to claim his stake in it, he must spend the night in a haunted house.

While the other heirs begin to disappear one by one, Scooby and his friends remain, despite the imminent threat of the Phantom Shadows. This episode featured the ingenious trap of a washing machine of all things, and it is also the episode in which the Supernatural crossover was based on.
