Notes/trivia[]

  • This takes place at Velma's alma mater (most likely the high school seen in The Spirit Spooked Sports Show). Like in that story/case, the only seen staff are the principal and the coach.
  • It's possible that this is where Velma went to school with Annie Brewer.
  • Coach Sperlokski's outfit indicates that Velma's High School (DC Comics) starts with a V

    Coach Sperlokski's outfit indicates that Velma's high school starts with a V.

    Coach Sperlokski's outfit has the letter V on it, indicating that the high school's name must start with a V. It could be a nod to Velma's private name.
  • By an odd coincidence, the successful football team there is called the Devils, and so is the usually unsuccessful football team at Coolsville High School (Cheers for Fears).
  • In this story, Shaggy asks Velma about the football team name and seems to find it unusual. He may be kidding around, because he's a fan of the football team at his school.
  • Velma had detention once (and only once) at her school for getting into a fight with a boy named Mickey Murphy after an "overheated debate" between the math club and the science club.

Coloring mistakes[]

  • None known.

Inconsistencies/continuity errors and/or goofs/oddities[]

  • Coolsville High School (DC)

    Shaggy calls Coolsville High, "[the gang's] alma mater".

    In the following story, "Cheers for Fears", the whole gang are said to have attended Coolsville High School and graduated from this school (though Velma is shown to have attended another school in "The Spirit Spooked Sports Show", and Daphne and Shaggy were shown to do so as well in "The Crazy Carnival Caper" along the way). Shaggy calls Coolsville High, "[their] alma mater," with the plural implying the whole gang.

Reception[]

"Friday Night Frights" by Robbie Busch keeps the Gang in good cheer with superb-character based jokes, and an attention to the Gang's camaraderie. The mystery's solution is a no-brainer, and it's still fun to watch Mystery Inc. piece together the puzzle pieces.

Scott Neely makes the most of a good monster design, and he buddies Busch's gags with fitting poses some of which he must imagine without the benefit of a model. For instance, the bit where the Gang split up benefits from Daphne's big grin. Not seen on the show but extrapolated for the comic book beautifully.[1]
