Featured review
Spooky doesn't even describe it
Coming from a huge lifelong Scooby Doo fan, 'Scooby Doo Where Are You' has always been my personal favourite of the incarnations. One such show where even the lesser episodes have a number of great merits.
"Spooky Space Kook" is one of the show's best and most memorable, certainly in the top 3 episodes that made the most impact on me when younger. "Spooky Space Kook" is laden with atmosphere, describing it as spooky is not even close to describing the episode's unforgettable impact.
This is not just the barren and incredibly atmospheric airfield setting, that actually looks creepy and haunted. It is also, and especially so, for the villain himself. Spooky Space Kook looks incredible and is very menacing, but particularly memorable is his laugh, one that will haunt one's nightmares for weeks and something that is heard first time and never forgotten. One of the best villains of the show, without a doubt, and with the setting, music and him the beginning is one of the show's most frightening.
Also effective is the humour. The dialogue and jokes are vintage Scooby Doo, but there are some funny to hilarious gags and scenes as well to match the creepy ones, especially the sheets and peanuts gags. The scene with the key perplexed me somewhat on a couple of viewings a few years ago, but have long accepted that it was a case of Shaggy and Scooby not thinking entirely straight when in terror. The final trap is along with "Mine Your Own Business's" one of the show's most imaginative, and the identity of the perpetrator is a rarity of being a complete surprise, making it one of the show's least predictable.
Here, the story continuous energy and atmosphere, and is never confusing or too obvious. Shaggy and Scooby never fail to bring a smile to my face, likewise with their ceaselessly charming chemistry, and Fred, Velma and Daphne are no less enjoyable either. Also loved, agreed, the smarter and more intuitive Shaggy, which was such a refreshing change of pace. As always, Don Messick, Casey Kasem and Frank Welker stand out of the voice acting, Messick and Kasem are without equal as Scooby and Shaggy and one cannot believe that it's been nearly 50 years and Welker's still voicing Fred with no signs of fatigue or inconsistency.
The animation is lively, atmospheric, lushly coloured and nicely drawn as always. The music adds to the impact the atmosphere creates, and it is very difficult to resist the classic theme song, along with the opening credits where it is so fun spotting and recognising the villains, that is one of the most iconic in animation.
Overall, one of the show's best and most impacting when younger and now. Spooky doesn't even describe it, but the entertainment value is also at the max as well. 10/10 Bethany Cox
