An excellent episode.
In this episode, Shaggy's wealthy and eccentric uncle inherited the old King Arthur castle and moved it over to his home in new England. Unfortunately, it seems that the castle came with the ghosts of Merlin and the Black Knight.
There is a lot to love about this episode. Haunted castles are always a perfect setting for a Scooby mystery, and this one is no exception. This setting is very atmospheric, giving a delightful Halloweeny vibe to the proceedings. Much of this is due to great background art and use of daker colors. Also adding to the Halloweeny vibe are the floating spirits, which add just the type of spooky fun that we all love. Merlin may not look particularly ghost-like, but he does have a really fun design and feels like a real threat to our heroes. The Black Knight also feels quite intimidating. Where this episode really stands out is it humor. The humor really is exceptionally good here. Scooby and Shaggy being hypnotized is absolutely hilarious as is much of the slapstick with Scooby and Shaggy. Also getting some good laughs is Shaggy's uncle and his similarities to Shaggy.
If I had one complaint it is that the mystery is really easy to solve due to a lack of suspects but when an episode is as fun as this, that is hardly a complaint.
