Reception

The identity of the culprit in "Screech Keen" is rather obvious--at least to me it was, but the method of Banshee is ingenious as are the clues to the way the ghostly powers were achieved. Dialogue between Shaggy and Scooby is hilarious, and the exchange reveals knowledge of the past. One of the rather subtle things about "Scooby-Doo Where Are You?" was that it never quite started from scratch like other cartoons. The gang always had a reputation, and Scooby and Shaggy were well aware of and often remarked on their use as bait.

Karen Matchette with Joe Staton's usual inker does a terrific job capturing the gang's look but also imbuing them with more animation and characteristic distinction. Thanks to Dave Hunt's influence, the gang are more on model, and you can better appreciate Ms. Matchette's cartooning capabilities.[1]
