A wonderful episode.
In this episode, the gang winds up in the small town of Winterhaven, when the Mystery Machine runs out of gas. Here they find the town is being terrifired by an electifying 10,000 volt ghost. Before you can say Jinkies the gang has another mystery on their hands.
What makes this episode so wonderful is the villain. The 10,000 Volt Ghost is a top-notch Scooby villain in every way. His design is very memorable and even quite unique among Scooby villains. He also feels like a real threat to our heroes, especially since his electric exterior makes it so our heroes can't even touch him. The big reveal of who the ghost's true idenity is also quite clever. There is a reason that he is one of The Scooby-Doo! Show's most memorable villains and even appears in the show's theme song. The episode also greatly benefits from some strong humor, especially the slapstick involving Scooby and Shaggy. The town of Winterhaven also provides a great setting for a Scooby mystery. The snowy abandoned town is quite atmospheric, espically due to some great background art. The scenes in the abandoned engry plant are especially atmospheric and fun.
This is Scooby-Doo at its best.
