An excellent episode.
In this episode, the Mystery Inc. Gang is invited to a Halloween party at Dracula's castle. However, they soon learn the reason they were invited. Having heard that the gang are famous ghost hunters, Dracula and all his monster friends want the gang to rid the castle of the ghost of monster hunter Van Helsing.
This is a truly wonderful episode. I love how it combines having real monsters with a typical Scooby mystery. It really helps that the mystery itself is very well done with some surprisingly good twists along the way. The ghost is a great villain with a delightfully creepy and memorable design. I especially the glow around him. The monsters themselves are a lot of fun, and I love their designs as well. The humor is also quite good here and the final twist here is really funny.
This episode was written by the very popular cartoon and comic book writer Paul Dini, whose excellent work has appeared on such shows as Tiny Toon Adventures, Batman: The Animated Series, Animaniacs, Superman: The Animated Series, Batman Beyond, Static Shock, Duck Dodgers, Justice League Unlimited and New Looney Tunes. However, he is probably best known for being the creator of Harley Quinn. His other work with Scooby Doo would include the direct to video movie Scooby-Doo!: Abracadabra-Doo (2010).
