S1, Ep 5: Guess Who's Knott Coming To Dinner? Stuck in a storm, Scooby Doo and the gang take shelter in a nearby mansion. There they are met by a number of strange inhabitants, all of whom look strangely similar (and somewhat like Don Knotts!), who mistakes them for relatives. But something strange is going on there, and soon the gang find themselves haunted by a hooded ghost of Captain Moody...

This is from an old video recording I have of The Scooby Doo Movies from 1994/95, complete with old adverts of the time when it was shown during the summer holidays. This episode was originally broadcast on October 7th 1972 and I felt that they would make a perfect posting for Halloween. I have five episodes in all (I did have six and a half, but one with Jonathan Winters was badly damaged and the one with the Harlem Globetrotters cut off halfway through). This one features Don Knotts, which was one of two he featured in for the series.

03:34Don Knotts! Don Knotts!
03:36That was an owl, Scooby.
03:38Don Knotts!
03:39Like you saw a creepy man?
03:48Don Knotts!
03:49This place is getting to him. He's seeing things.
03:52Look, Scoob. I cool it. You're flipping.
03:54Don Knotts in a place like this? Never.
03:58Maybe a... a vampire? Or a werewolf?
04:02Let's go. And quit looking back, Scoob.
04:12Well, there's the house.
04:14Wow, this place is spooky.
04:16It's just a big old house.
04:18Sure. Full of big old green icky crawly things.
04:24Ring again, Freddy. Maybe they didn't hear you.
04:34You gotta be kidding. Like that bell's loud enough to wake the dead.
04:38I wish I hadn't said that.
04:40Oh?
04:44Well, let's go in.
04:46Nobody invited us.
04:48The door opened. Maybe it's electric.
04:50Yeah. And maybe we'll get a big shock on the other side.
04:54I'm going in.
04:56Come on, Daphne. Let's go, Scoob.
04:58Like, I'll wait here.
05:00Whoops.
05:04Hey, this is wild.
05:06I like the way it's furnished.
05:08Early Frankenstein.
05:12It's locked.
05:13We're trapped.
05:14Don't be so jumpy.
05:16We can always go through a window if we have to.
05:18Right.
05:19I'd like to see if there's anyone home.
05:21You're fantastic.
05:45This is probably the owner of the mansion.
05:53Or, like, maybe this is...
05:55Well, I say let's stay here tonight.
05:57It's better than that mountain lodge we were going to.
06:00It's scary.
06:02A big place like this?
06:06And not a soul around.
06:09Good evening, Tally Ho and all that sort of route.
06:12Who are you?
06:14I'm Featherstone, the butler.
06:16I bid you a smashing welcome.
06:18We didn't think anybody was home.
06:20Oh, yes, sir, quite.
06:21We've been expecting you.
06:23You couldn't have been expecting us.
06:25Right, because we sure weren't expecting you.
06:27Of course, you've come to see Captain Moody.
06:29What, ho?
06:30Well, we don't know Captain Moody.
06:32Well, he's not here anyway, Dash at all.
06:34Oh, that's all right.
06:35We only want directions.
06:36But his old friend is here.
06:38John Good, what?
06:39And he's expecting you.
06:40I shall tell him you've arrived.
06:42Oh, ripping robber.
06:43Wow.
06:44Did he say he was Featherstone or Featherbrain?
06:47He thinks we're somebody else.
06:49He made a mistake.
06:50We made a mistake coming here.
06:52Yeah, let's leave before he comes back.
06:56Yeah, let's see if we can leave.
06:59The door's still locked.
07:04This one's locked, too.
07:07So is this door.
07:09There's bars on the windows.
07:11I don't remember seeing them before.
07:13The stairs.
07:14Maybe we can climb out an upper window.
07:16Oops.
07:17Whoops.
07:18Whoops.
07:19Whoops.
07:20Whoops.
07:21Ah, the telephone.
07:23It's dead.
07:24Like I got a horrible feeling we are, too.
07:29No!
07:30No!
07:31No!
07:32No!
07:33No!
07:34No!
07:35No!
07:36No!
07:37No!
07:50Amazing.
07:51Too much talent for one man.
07:54Keep going, Scoob.
07:59You're right at the top.
08:15Look. There it is.
08:17Like good work, Scoob. You found the secret passage.
08:24Hey.
08:44Hey, we've reached a dead end.
08:46Like where do we go from here?
08:48Yo!
08:54Some secret passage.
08:59All we did was end up back where we started.
09:01Like we must have missed the turnoff at Pismo Beach.
09:04Alas, there, you landlubbers.
09:06All hands to your stations.
09:09Man the jibsail.
09:11Reef the mizzenmast.
09:13We're putting out to sea.
09:15Oh, anchor!
09:17Pardon me, sir.
09:18Are you the owner of this, uh, ship?
09:20No, matey. I'm Phineas Folkswell.
09:22First mate to old Captain Moody.
09:24Shiver my timbers.
09:25Then you're the old friend the butler told us about.
09:28You might say that, matey.
09:29Man and boy, I sailed with Captain Moody for 20 years.
09:33And who might you be?
09:34Little Meg. I'll stake me sea chest.
09:38Me?
09:38No.
09:39My name is Velma.
09:41And you're Ronald.
09:42Big as a whale, but I'd know you even in a squall.
09:45Cynthia.
09:46Uh, just a wee little shrimp last time I piped you aboard.
09:50Blow me down.
09:51You're the spittin' image of old Captain Moody himself.
09:55Max!
09:55Who overhauled your keel, boy?
09:58You used to be a dachshund.
10:00You're making a mistake.
10:02We're not who you think we are.
10:03Things are never what they seem, matey.
10:06Like we only stop to ask directions.
10:09North by northeast, matey.
10:11Phineas Folkswell will see to that.
10:12The nieces and nephews of old Captain Moody will weather the storm.
10:17But we're not Captain Moody's nieces and nephews.
10:20Don't try to fool me with a yarn like that.
10:23Now, all hands to the best room.
10:27Oh, no, we appreciate it, but we've got to go.
10:29There's a raging storm at sea.
10:32Follow me.
10:34He's right about the storm.
10:36Gotta stay somewhere.
10:37But I'm scared.
10:40Yeah?
10:40S-s-s-s-scared?
10:42S-s-s-s-s-s-s-t
10:50Will you find anything more alive?
10:52Five alive.
10:53Oranges, lemons, grapefruits, tangerines, limes.
10:55It's the combination of a lock you provide.
10:57You can drink morning, noon, and night.
10:58Around the globe, it's out of this world.
11:00The taste you can relate.
11:01Not eight, not seven, not six, but five alive.
11:03Now, that's what I call alive.
11:05Ain't nothing more alive than five alive.
11:08I recollect the time Billy the grown-up held up the Milky Bar.
11:16Mean feller he was.
11:17Too mean to buy his own chocolate.
11:20Well, just then.
11:23It's the Milky Bar key.
11:25The Milky Bar key is strong and tough.
11:28The best is good enough.
11:30The creamiest milk, the whitest bar.
11:32The good taste that's in Milky Bar.
11:33The Milky Bar's around me!
11:35The kid always said that.
11:38It's the Milky Bar!
11:42Good morning, Dave.
11:44Morning, Jason.
11:46Hiya.
11:50Don't be alarmed.
11:51It's a non-hostile pet alien.
11:54Only sighted in special packs of Kellogg's Rice Krispies.
11:57There's one free in every box.
11:58There are eight to collect, and they've just landed.
12:00Rimmel Silk's new Silk Shadow is a unique cream-to-powder eye shadow.
12:09With pro-vitamin B5 and sunscreens for protection, it glides on and blends like a cream, drying to a lasting powder finish.
12:18Look beautiful with Rimmel Silk's Silk Shadow.
12:21This commercial is classified too juicy.
12:25Frutella, too juicy for my mum.
12:28Too juicy for my dad.
12:30Too juicy for my nan-man.
12:33Frutella, too fruity for my cat.
12:36Too juicy for my dog.
12:38Too fruity for my shark.
12:41Frutella, too juicy for my car.
12:44Too fruity for my shirt.
12:45So juicy to hurt.
12:47Right, stop that.
12:49It's far too juicy.
12:50Are Frutella, too juicy for you?
12:56Rado, pulls it back.
12:58Bonnie X on the end of it.
12:59Fantastic gun.
13:03Thrust comes in.
13:05Touched on to Bonnie X.
13:06The goal game is in trouble.
13:07Blacks two.
13:10And Bonnie X onside.
13:12This must be a hat-trick.
13:13To celebrate the world-class, McDonald's introduces the hat-trick cheeseburger.
13:19The ultimate cheeseburger for the ultimate football occasion.
13:25What's this, mate?
13:26Suck it and see.
13:28Rather not, that'd be taste-bun traces.
13:30Unlike this slope-tastic offer, if you take a lucky stick to a lion's mane outlet, you get a free lolly.
13:35There's a million to win. It's the law.
13:37I'd love one of those, mate.
13:38Hands off me, nobly-bobbly, pilfering, pilchard.
13:40Bah, foiled by nice.
13:42Why not suck it and see if the next one's free?
13:46Remember who makes New Woman's Best New Hair Care Product of the Year?
13:51Now for the good news about styling.
14:03Eat hearty, mates.
14:04Don't touch it.
14:22Maybe it's poisoned.
14:25Better take on fuel, mates.
14:32In foul weather like this, every meal may be your last.
14:35Yeah, that's just what I was thinking.
14:38Mmm, I'm so full.
14:39I couldn't eat another bite.
14:41Well, if your bill's just bulging, I'll pipe the maid and have her show you to your quarter.
14:45Where's that galley winch?
14:51She'll walk the plank for this.
14:53Like you really think the food is poisoned?
14:56Uh-huh.
14:57I'll bet the cellar's just full of people who had their last meal.
15:01You doll.
15:10I am English Marcus Borg.
15:13You gave me a angle.
15:15Could you show us to our rooms?
15:17Oh, yeah, you betcha.
15:19Bye, yump and yimini.
15:20It's used to skip and a yump upstairs.
15:23They don't look alike.
15:24But I get a strange feeling the maid and Phineas are related.
15:28Funny.
15:29I got a strange feeling the butler and Phineas are related.
15:42Yipes!
15:45It's only a cuckoo clock.
15:48Like this is the right place for it.
15:51There it goes again.
15:53Listen.
15:54It's probably Phineas Folksel going around on his first watch.
15:58Yeah, like he said.
16:03Like how can you read, Freddy?
16:05That takes your mind off things.
16:07Try it.
16:12What was that?
16:17I don't know, but I sure hope it's not another cuckoo clock.
16:28I don't hear any more spooky sounds.
16:35It was probably the wind howling.
16:36It was probably like my stomach howling.
16:39No dinner.
16:40I'm really hungry now.
16:42Mm, pretty cool.
16:44I'm going downstairs and fix me a snack.
16:46Well, I wouldn't touch any food in this house.
16:52It can't be all poisoned.
16:53Like Phineas and the butler and the maid got to eat, too.
16:56You're liable to run into something horrible out there.
17:00Like what's more horrible than starving to death?
17:04Come on, Scoob.
17:05What is it now?
17:29Armor! Backpack! Squeak! Squeak! Armor! Backpack! Squeak! Squeak!
17:35Huh? Armor? What suit of armor?
17:38Like I think that empty spot in your stomach has moved up to your head.
17:53Now, let's demolish him.
17:59Hurry up and eat so you'll stop that!
18:07No!
18:29Did you get your snacks?
18:35No. We saw a g-g-ghost.
18:37Who's ghost?
18:39I don't know. Nobody.
18:41A ghost can't be nobody. It has to be the ghost of somebody.
18:45Like it didn't have any face. Just pale yellow all over.
18:49Moaning and groaning.
18:53Shaggy, most people have nightmares after eating too much.
18:57You even get them before eating too much.
19:05Yikes! There it is again!
19:07Don't run! Stand up to it!
19:09You three look like you've just seen a ghost.
19:27Yeah, we did. Twice!
19:29Oh, no! I'm gonna hide in the closet!
19:33It's the ghost of the man in the painting downstairs.
19:43Captain Moody!
19:53It's the ghost of the man in the painting downstairs.
19:55Captain Moody!
19:57Beware! I have come back for revenge!
20:01The ape!
20:11Do you really think this will stop the ghost, Freddy?
20:15Yeah. Don't ghosts walk like right through walls or anything?
20:21There's different kinds of ghosts.
20:23Some can go through walls and some have to use doors.
20:27The ghost of Captain Moody looks kind of solid to me.
20:30Hey, look! Here's a real scientific book on ghosts and spooks.
20:34You're not gonna read at a time like this.
20:37Maybe it tells how to get rid of ghosts.
20:39A ghost is already dead. What else can you do to it?
20:42Make it vanish!
20:49Yike! It's the ghost!
20:51And Freddy vanished!
20:53Oh!
20:55Oh!
20:56Oh!
20:58The guilty one!
21:00I want the guilty one!
21:10Freddy's back!
21:11And the ghost vanished!
21:12What happened, Freddy?
21:13All of a sudden, I was in the secret passageway.
21:16But why did the ghost vanish when I came back?
21:19No real ghost wears a real wig.
21:22You're right, Velma.
21:23And now that I think of it, that ghost reminds me a lot of Phineas.
21:26And Phineas reminds me of the butler.
21:28And the butler reminds me of the maid.
21:31And like they all remind me, we're trapped in a house of horrors!
21:35The maid said to ring if we wanted anything.
21:41And I want another look at her.
21:57You rang, sir?
21:58We wanted the maid!
22:05You just jerked the bell, yeah?
22:08Wow, are you mixed up!
22:10You're not the maid or the butler!
22:13All right.
22:14The little game is over.
22:17The gods!
22:19Everybody back!
22:20Freeze!
22:25Okay, this is it.
22:26I'm moving in.
22:27We're gonna blow this case wide open.
22:29What case?
22:30What's going on?
22:31Playing innocent, huh?
22:33Well, it won't work.
22:35I've had my eye on you ever since you got here.
22:38You can't escape and I'm holding all of you until I get a confession.
22:42Homer Pipsqueak.
22:43World famous private eye.
22:45Wow, a detective.
22:51Bulldog Pipsqueak, they call me in a trade.
22:55Because when I get my teeth in a case, I never let go.
22:58Then there wasn't any ghost.
22:59It was you.
23:00All the people you met here tonight were me.
23:02Incredible master of a thousand disguises.
23:05I speak every known language.
23:08Care to hear a little joke in Eskimo?
23:10We'd like to hear how to get out of here in English.
23:13All right, come on, kids. Cop out!
23:15You really are the captain's nieces and nephews, aren't you?
23:17No, we're not.
23:18Now, just take us to Captain Moody.
23:20He'll tell you.
23:21I can't.
23:22That's the mystery.
23:23That's the mystery.
23:24The captain's gone.
23:25Disappeared.
23:26Banished into thin air.
23:27And I gotta find him.
23:28All right, we'll reconstruct the crime.
23:29First, I got a desperate phone call this morning from Captain Moody.
23:41He wanted my help because something evil was about to happen.
23:55Like what?
23:56Well, he started to tell me.
23:57He said he invited his two nieces and two nephews up here for a big dinner this weekend.
24:02Then we were cut off.
24:04I smelled foul play and rushed right up.
24:06And when you got here, Captain Moody was gone.
24:09That's it.
24:10Baffling case.
24:11It's what we call a habeas corpus with no corpus delicti.
24:14That's a little trade talk we master sleuths use.
24:25I guess when we showed up, you thought we were the captain's nieces and nephews.
24:29It was a wild guess.
24:30I play every angle.
24:31Never miss a trick.
24:38Like maybe the other kids are coming tomorrow night.
24:41Maybe.
24:42But I think one of them showed up a day early and zap!
24:45Foul play.
24:53The place is so riddled with secret doors and tunnels and things, it's worse than termites.
24:57Why do you suspect one of the captain's nieces or nephews?
25:01The old captain's worth millions.
25:03Each kid inherits a fourth of the estate when he dies.
25:06Now they're his only relatives.
25:08Like what are you looking for?
25:10The captain.
25:11I may be able to save him if I can get to him in time.
25:14Do you think the captain's still here?
25:16No sign of him being taken away.
25:18No struggle.
25:19But there's an awful lot of house and grounds to cover.
25:22I could use help on this manhunt.
25:24Can we do anything?
25:25I warn you.
25:26This is a dangerous game.
25:28Evil lurks around every corner.
25:31Well then maybe we'd better...
25:33I accept your offer.
25:34You're all officially on the case now.
25:36Wow!
25:37Working with the world's most famous private eye!
25:40You two cover the old mine on the hill back of the house.
25:43Search the shaft, the mill, everything!
25:45You two cover the private cemetery between the house and the mine.
25:50If we find the captain there, forget it!
25:53Get it!
25:54That's an order!
25:55Spread out the dragnet!
26:05Alright, I got you covered!
26:06Turn around, feet apart, hands up against the wall!
26:08Oh, it's you!
26:10Yeah, it's me!
26:12You want an assignment too?
26:14Uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh!
26:16Well, let's see.
26:18Maybe I got a little paperwork.
26:20Uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh!
26:22A bloodhound!
26:23Always wanted to work with a bloodhound.
26:25You think he can handle that?
26:27Uh-huh, uh-huh!
26:28Now a good bloodhound has to be able to follow a trailion.
26:38And he's got to stick to it like glue.
26:40Ooh!
26:41Ooh!
26:42Ooh!
26:43Ooh!
26:48That's pretty good sticking.
26:49Now here's a little trade secret.
26:51A top bloodhound always sniffs something the victim wore and gets a scent.
26:56Captain Moody was wearing these socks the day before he vanished.
27:00Go to work!
27:08That's the test that separates the rookies from the pros.
27:18Are you picking something up?
27:33Attaboy!
27:34You're closing in on him now!
27:38It's full of the captain's socks!
27:42Uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh!
27:46There's the old mine.
27:49You search the mill, Shag, and I'll check the mine shaft.
28:02Yow!
28:06Yipes!
28:07Why am I worried?
28:10It's only Mr. Pipsqueak in disguise again.
28:14Like, wow, you sure scared me for a minute.
28:18You want me to go back to the house?
28:25Why are you making like that ghost again?
28:27Well, anyway, I'm glad you showed up.
28:29It's spooky out here alone.
28:36Oh, hi, Mr. Pipsqueak.
28:37I'll be right back as soon as I walk back to the house with you and...
28:42Yow!
28:43Yow!
28:44Yow!
28:51Yike!
28:52Two ghosts!
28:53Ghosts!
28:54Run!
28:55Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!
29:00Ghosts, run!
29:18Baffling case.
29:20Something sinister at work here.
29:22Doesn't add up.
29:23Like there can't be two ghosts of Captain Moody.
29:25And those ghosts were driving us away from the mine.
29:28There's something there they don't want us to find.
29:31And Scooby was following the Captain's trail to the mine.
29:35That's the answer.
29:36Let's all get back there before the ghosts do.
29:40I need two volunteers to go out on the trestle and trick the ghosts.
29:44Do I see any hands?
29:46Oh, come on, squad.
29:48Let's see some hands.
29:51Okay, Scoob, like you gotta be a hero.
29:56That's great.
29:57You'll never live to regret this.
29:59Oh.
