Scooby-Doo, Where Are You! (1969) s02e05 Episode Script
The Haunted House Hang-Up
One Dog Night and Creedence Shaggy are rocking tonight! Listen, don't wear yourselves out before we get to the rock festival! Groovy, guys! Really! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! I wish I could find a groovy road sign to tell us where we are! There's some kind of sign! I hope it's not an ad for shaving cream! - Let's have a look! - Right! - Well, that's a big help! - I wonder what it says.
It says, "24,000 miles to China! Thataway!" Be serious! We could be in trouble if we're lost! I think we're in trouble already! Look! - Yipes! - And double yipes! - What's that? - Yeah! What? It's a guy with a lantern, silly.
- Excuse me, sir, but - Name's Asa Shanks.
Why are you here? Nice to meet you.
We're on our way to a music festival.
You better be on your way, quick as possible! - That's it, sir, I think we're lost.
- Lost? Scoob, it'll be okay.
Could you direct us to Interstate 5 please? Straight ahead to the fork.
Which way do we go at the fork in the road? Left fork is the long way around, right fork's the short.
- We'll take the right! - Right! Right! I'd go the long way.
You said the right way's the short way! Also takes you past the haunted mansion! Haunted mansion? And the Headless Specter! Headless? - What do you mean, "Headless Specter"? - Yes, who is it? Ain't no one never met the Headless Specter and lived to tell it! - He's disappeared! - That's a good idea! - What idea? - Let us disappear! There's the fork in the road, just like our friend said.
Which way, gang? The short right way or the long left way? - Right! - The left! It seems we have a tie vote! - Let's flip a bologna slice to decide! - What? Heads, right, and I eat it! Tails, left, and I eat it! Of all the ridiculous Oh, all right! Scooby ate our last piece of bologna.
Now which way? We go the short route.
We're low on gas! Haunted mansion, here we come! Wow, is this car overheating! Like, I thought we had a built-in steam room! Me too! Shag and Scoob! How about finding water for the van? Where are we going to find water? - I saw a well over by the house.
- Gotcha! - Ain't seen any haunts yet! - Nope.
And let's keep it that way! Was that you, I hope? - Yipes! - And triple yipes! What happened? Where's the water? Ghosts! - Ghosts! Where? - Back there! Let's have a look at those ghosts! Ghosts! Ghosts! We might have known.
A Scooby ghost, that's all it is! But I tell you! Shaggy, the nonmaterial embodiment, or essence or organism that's seen as a specter, wraith or apparition has been scientifically proven to be a sheer myth.
- In other words, ghosts don't exist! - Yeah, but does the ghost know that? - We have a problem, gang.
No bucket! - No bucket, no water.
Look! There's a light in that old haunted mansion! - That's our cue to light out of here! - And how! Hold it a minute, you two.
- It's probably the Headless Specter! - Or a ghost! Like your ghost in the well, Scooby? We need water for the Mystery Machine.
- Let's go borrow a bucket.
- Right.
A light means people, I hope.
Somebody's here! Look, there's a candle! - Bet it's ghosts again, or worse! - Ghosts don't need candles.
Oh, no? Look! Oh, no! A floating candle! Ghosts! Wow! What a spooky old room! Hey! I wonder who this guy is.
"Jefferson Stillwall.
" He must have owned this old place at one time.
I wonder what he's pointing at.
Where's his head? Oh, my gosh! I don't believe it! Look at that picture, you guys! What? It's a picture of a guy pointing.
- A minute ago, the head was missing! - Yeah! Yeah! I think we've stumbled onto some kind of kooky mystery.
Let's look around.
- Maybe it's us! - Yeah.
Yipes! It did it again! It seems to be coming from that direction! I thought we came here to borrow a bucket.
- Don't you sense a mystery? - I sure do.
Like, why are we here? There it goes again.
- And here we go again! - Wait, Shag! Seems like the sounds are coming from behind that door.
It's empty.
Let's go.
- No, it isn't! Look! - Now, there's a clue.
Come on! Well, who wants to do the honors? A volunteer! Good boy, Scooby! Good boy! You're our hero! Hooray for Scooby! Now, there's nothing wrong with your paw, Scooby.
Just open the box.
It's Jefferson Stillwall! - It's only a wooden dummy.
- Somebody wanted to scare us! And they did a good job too.
A Scooby Snack will bring him around.
Scooby? He's going to be difficult, I see! That face-in-the-box doesn't scare me.
I know, but we still need a clue as to what's going on.
A clue! A clue! - Hey, Scooby's found a clue! - Footprints! Let's follow them.
You guys go.
We'll stay with old face-in-the-box! - Aren't you curious? - Not a bit.
Scared, yes.
Curious, no.
Come on, Shaggy! Look! The tracks go different directions! I've seen guys do splits, but this is ridiculous! We should split to follow the tracks! Daphne and I will take this set of tracks.
You guys follow the other.
- If you find anything, give the signal! - Like this? Yeah, that's it.
Let's go! - There's that funny pounding again.
- And it's coming from inside.
- I ain't going in there! No way! - How about that way? It's as if I've been dipped in ink and put in a coal mine! - Hold hands so we don't separate.
- You have clammy hands for a girl! Your hands are like fish right out of a lake.
I think I feel a doorknob.
- Open it and let's get out of here! - Yeah, out! Yikes! There is a Headless Specter! Help! I'm drowning! Call the Coast Guard! Stand up, the water's only knee-deep.
Well, what do you know? Look, Scooby, a secret tunnel.
Let's explore this.
It could be a solution to the whole thing.
Yeah, right back into the arms of that Headless Specter thing! Look! An old book of some kind.
Old is right.
It's a diary, and the last entry was dated July 12th, 1822.
- What's it say? - It doesn't make much sense.
"Marching men in single file hide the secret.
Stillwall shows the way.
" Thumping noises again! Let's get out of here and find the others.
They've been gone for a long Hey, look! - A trap door! - Let's take a look.
And be careful.
- I said be careful.
- Sorry.
It's a fruit cellar.
Freddy, someone's coming.
Get ready.
Yipes! Hold it! Shaggy! Velma! Scooby! Oh, thank goodness, it's you! Thank goodness it's you, with food.
My stomach's emptier than a piggy bank after Christmas.
Me too.
- What's the matter? - Balloons! Rubber balloons! - Why would anyone can balloons? - Wait a minute.
Does this helium gas spark an idea? It sure does! I think I've got it now! This sheet with eyeholes over the helium balloon will float.
- Is this your ghost, guys? - Anybody could make a mistake, even us.
Never mind that.
Velma, what do you make of this entry? "Marching men in single file.
" Could a column? This place is filled with columns.
But which one? Of course! Stillwall shows the way! Remember that picture of Stillwall? He's pointing! Find the column he's pointing at, and we'll solve it.
He seems to be pointing out that window! - There's nothing but a greenhouse.
- And there aren't any columns.
Shaggy, why don't you and Scoob take a look to make sure.
Don't seem to be anything in here at all, especially no columns! What do you know? A flytrap lily.
Let's give it a Scooby Snack.
Yipes! Yipes! Why did we run in here again? Now he's got us for sure! Like, here he comes now! - Balloons! - Balloons? Oh, I get it.
We'll up, up, and away! Let's see old Headless Harry get us now! Hey, you guys! Do something! Help! Holy smoke, there really is a Headless Specter! I tried to tell you! But what can we do to help them? Hey, watch it! No, Scoob! Look out below! Are you all right? We had a soft landing, thanks to the feathers.
Hey, what's this? Oh, my aching head! Hey! You really have a head! Who are you? What's all this about? I'm Penrod Stillwall.
Great-great- great-grandson of Jefferson Stillwall.
- Why be headless? - I invented the legend of the Headless Specter to scare people.
I rigged the floating candle and the headless picture.
But why, man? You scared us half to death.
There's a hidden treasure in that house that's rightly mine.
I was afraid someone would steal it! - We don't want it! - We'll even help you look for it.
The thumping noises.
We thought it was you! I thought it was you! - Sounds like a ghost in the attic.
- Let's get him out! I get dizzy in high places.
Shag and I will see what it is.
The rest of you be ready.
Here's what we'll do.
Look! - What is it? - I don't know! But we'll find out! - Get a head start! - He spotted us! Get ready! He's right behind us! Let's see who our phony phantom really is.
It's Asa Shanks! My greedy neighbor! Trying to steal the treasure.
If there is a treasure, that is! That's it! It was supposed to be in a carpetbag.
Like, wow! You're rich, Mr.
Stillwall! I'd have found it if it wasn't for you snoopers! - How can I thank you? - Point us to a pizza parlor before Scoob and I collapse from starvation.
I don't get it.
The money was in the column as Velma figured? But the picture pointed to the greenhouse.
- Someone must have moved it.
- It would have pointed at the column.
End of mystery, end of pizza.
On to the rock music festival! Right, Scoob? Yeah! Scooby-Doo!
It says, "24,000 miles to China! Thataway!" Be serious! We could be in trouble if we're lost! I think we're in trouble already! Look! - Yipes! - And double yipes! - What's that? - Yeah! What? It's a guy with a lantern, silly.
