Locations
Notes/trivia
- This is the only episode in the What's New incarnation to have Daphne bound and gagged.
- Scooby, Shaggy, Velma, and Fred had gumbo for dinner while Daphne had salad.
- "Man With the Hex" was also used in the 2002 film.
Animation mistakes and/or technical glitches
- When Crawdad Mike was unmasked, he had a full head of hair, but when the police came to take him and his bus driver away, he is half bald.
Inconsistencies/continuity errors and/or goofs/oddities
- Velma pointed out to Fred that Jed is much taller than Caleb, even though it was actually Caleb who was taller.
- After the chase scene, when the gang bump into Cyrus T. Buford, they all gasp. Daphne's voice can clearly be heard, although she is not with the gang, because she would have already been kidnapped.
