Scooby Ghosts & Villains #1 The Castle Ghost
JLMatterer:
In this episode, Scooby & the gang break up a dognapping ring headed by the Indian Doctor: Decoy for a Dognapper. This is perhaps the most disappointing transition from cartoon to PM figure; the Indian Doctor is clearly missing two key elements - the mane of white hair & the black horns, both of which would have added greatly to the figure. (The horns are there, but in miniature form & printed on the sticker.)
The Indian Doctor is Buck Masters, a dog owner who wanted to eliminate the competition for an upcoming dog pageant by dognapping the other entries.
JLMatterer:
The Ghost Clown was featured in Bedlam in the Big Top. The clown's face is blue in the cartoon, which would have been a nice touch if PM had used it.
The Ghost Clown is Harry the Hypnotist, an ex-circus performer who sought revenge for being fired & sent to prison.
JLMatterer:
Carlotta the Gypsy is just one of several ghosts in A Gaggle of Galloping Ghosts.
Carlotta & the other ghosts in this episode were actually Big Bob Oakley, alias the Actor (yes, Carlotta was in drag), a"master of disguises & wanted in seven states." His plan was to scare people away from the castle & claim the hidden jewels.
JLMatterer:
The Space Kook is seen in an episode appropriately titled Spooky Space Kook.
Harry Bascomb's clever plan was to scare people off of the farm's property, which he would purchase at a bargain then sell to the Air Force for a huge profit.
JLMatterer:
This episode, That's Snow Ghost, is a rather not-so-subtle parody of the film, The Maltese Falcon. In this case, the PM figure is much more interesting than the cartoon version.
There are two villains in this story, the Messrs. Greenway & Leech, very clearly based on Sydney Greenstreet & Peter Lorre, two of the stars in The Maltese Falcon. Mr Greenway is the Snow Ghost, with Leech his assistant in a jewel smuggling caper.
