[after retrieving Sarah Ravencroft's spell book]
Daphne : Why go through this elaborate scheme? Why not just ask us to find the book?
Velma : I know why. Because if we knew what that book was, we would never have helped him!
Ben Ravencroft : But even you can imagine the real power of this book. No mere mortal can.
Fred Jones : You've reading too many of your own horror stories, Ravencroft!
Ben Ravencroft : A typical mortal response, but I am descended form a superior breed. I shall unlock the power of the imprisoned Sarah Ravencroft! Together, we shall reign supreme!

Daphne : [after Scooby-Doo found Sarah Ravencroft's spell book mistaken for a wiccan medical journal at first] Looks kind of evil to belong to a wiccan healer.
Velma : Ben, that doesn't seem to be a journal at all.
Ben Ravencroft : [in a sinister voice] Because it isn't, Velma. It's a spell book. You see, Sarah wasn't a wiccan, she was indeed a witch.
Thorn : A real witch?
Dusk : Heavy.
Ben Ravencroft : And since Sarah's blood runs through my veins, I guess that makes me... a warlock.
Scooby Doo : Warlock?
Ben Ravencroft : The wiccans imprisoned Sarah in her own spell book! And you helped me find it.
Velma : [angrily] You lied to me, Ben!

Ben Ravencroft : [after Mayor Corey and Mr. McKnight show up in Ben's office] Mayor?
Mayor : We've been ringing your doorbell for sometime and...
Ben Ravencroft : Sorry about that. I've been meaning to fix that thing for years. What's up, Mayor?
Mayor : Well Ben, I really feel bad about everything and I wanted to apologize for using your ancestor in our publicity stunt.
Mr. McKnight : The tourist trade was so slow. We were desperated.
Mayor : Right and you once told me that supernatural phenomenon always attracts people.
Mr. McKnight : It was natural to use Sarah because we accidentally dug up her grave.
Ben Ravencroft : What grave?
Mayor : I'm sorry Ben, but you see I lied to you when we found anything of Sarah's while we were building the Puritan Village.
Mr. McKnight : We did. It was her grave marker. We found it in a bulldoze pile of dirt and rocks. We don't want to upset you.

Fred Jones : [after catching two criminals disguised as Babylonian mummies] Nice going, guys. You caught them.
Norville 'Shaggy' Rogers : Uh. Right. Like we had a little help.
[a man comes out from behind a curtain afterwards]
Daphne : Who are you?
Velma : Huh! I don't believe it! You're Ben Ravencroft. The famous horror writer.
Ben Ravencroft : That's right. And let's see who they are.
[revealing the Babylonian mummies to be the archaeologists Perkins and Griswald]
-
Ben Ravencroft : [reading the spell to become a warlock] Let the evil from the past breathe again with fire and blast! Let the dark wind whip the night to blow away the force of light! Now I summon ancient power. This is evil's finest hour!
-
Norville 'Shaggy' Rogers : Like, that's a twist.
Fred Jones : Yeah. At least, he didn't call us, "kids". I hate that.
Daphne : Guess you beat us to the punch, Mister Ravencroft.
Ben Ravencroft : Sorry, I didn't mean to upstage you.
Fred Jones : So what were you doing here?
Ben Ravencroft : I was doing research on my latest novel when I saw these archaeologists acting suspiciously and decided to investigate.
Velma : Mister Ravencroft, I am huge fan of your work. I have read all of your books in which my opinion are the best horror stories ever written.
Ben Ravencroft : Thanks, Velma.
Velma : [gasp with excitement] You know my name?
Ben Ravencroft : And Daphne's and Fred's.
[Scooby taps Ben on the right shoulder with his tail]
Ben Ravencroft : [chuckles] And Scooby and Shaggy's, of course.
