Notes/trivia

• It's unclear what relationship Mike and the Indian Witch Doctor/Buck Masters had, but it was enough that he knew the former by name.
• He's one of few crooks to be seen out-of-character while wearing his costume.
• The Indian Witch Doctor was the first monster to kidnap Daphne Blake and hold her prisoner; the Phantom in Hassle in the Castle failed to do so, successfully.
• In Scooby-Doo! Night of 100 Frights, he's called Geronimo, which is inaccurate because the Ghost of Geronimo was the projector of the Native American on the horse. He's a recurring enemy in the 'Mystic Manor' area and is unlockable in the Monster Gallery.
• A portrait of the Witch Doctor can be seen in the Scooby-Doo and Guess Who? episode The Cursed Cabinet Of Professor Madds Markson!.
