History

Scooby-Doo! Mystery Incorporated

Season one

Velma is interrupted by her parents after she tells tourists that Crystal Cove's ghosts are fake

Velma unenthusiastically led a tour group through the museum. She started telling the tourists that the ghosts and monsters on display were merely disguises used by criminals and were never real. Angie and Dale stopped her and moved the tourists on to the next part of the museum. Velma insisted that she was merely being honest with tourists.

The gang looked through an extensive collection of vampire books in the museum's gift shop. Ed Machine secretly led Daphne to a magazine that contained the information they were looking for.

Professor Pericles and Scooby retrieved ectoplasm from the monster exhibits to mix an antidote for Aphrodite's hypnotic love potion. Unbeknownst to Scooby, Pericles secretly stole an industrial-grade drill-bit from the museum while they were there.

Fred and Daphne visited the museum after-hours on a date. Daphne reminisced about Flim-Flam and said that his jail sentence for con artistry seemed harsh. Upon seeing the museum's display of Scrappy-Doo, Fred swore that they would never speak of him again and led Daphne away from the exhibit.

Velma and Shaggy went there to ask Angie for help finding an incantation that would break the curse of the Headless Horror. They were on the verge of to rekindling their relationship but were interrupted by Angie.

The gang went there looking for information that would help solve the hauntings at the Jones mansion. They met Angie's new barista, Lady Marmalade, who was an exorcist that could help them.

Season two

A man was in the Spook Museum when Crybaby Clown scared him off.

The gang went there to pretend to look up information about the Krampus. They also pretended to be surprised to find the Charlie the Haunted Robot exhibit missing.

The gang went there to get information about aliens.

In response to a distress call the gang went there and found the place had been raided by the Gluten Demon.

Upon return from the Yucatán, the gang and Mayor Nettles dropped Angie Dinkley off at the museum. After driving through the town and finding Sheriff Stone, they discovered that everyone had gone missing. Nettles and Stone were both pulled underground in an earthquake, causing the gang to return to the museum in search of Angie. They found that Angie was missing and the interior of the museum had been completely destroyed.

Post-Nibiru

When the Evil Entity was destroyed, it altered reality for all of Crystal Cove; meaning there was nothing to make profit from. There was no sign above the front door, implying it was just a regular shop.

Notes/trivia

• The exhibits reference villains and characters from other Scooby-Doo series.
  • Most villains on display are direct recreations of villains from the original series, Scooby-Doo, Where Are You!. Notably, any details known about these characters in Scooby-Doo! Mystery Incorporated closely mirror their original incarnations in Scooby-Doo, Where Are You!.
  • The Luna Ghost references the ghost of the same name from the first live-action adaptation.
  • Flim-Flam and Scrappy-Doo are included in the display as villains that Mystery Incorporated has dealt with. This is a tongue-in-cheek reference to the unpopularity of characters Flim-Flam and Scrappy-Doo, who were protagonists in 1980's Scooby cartoons and appeared together in The 13 Ghosts of Scooby-Doo.
• The Spook Museum appears in the series' promotional tie in game, Scooby-Doo! Mystery Incorporated: Crystal Cove Online. In the game, the museum serves as the gang's base of operations and the monster exhibit is used as a process tracker: every time a player defeats and unmasks a ghost or monster, that ghost's costume is added to the display.
