History[]
Scooby-Doo! Haunted Holidays[]
The Sinister Snowman was rumored to be the ghost of an elderly man named Vladimar Harsticore. Fabian Menkle, nephew of Menkle's Toy Store owner Havros Menkle, told the gang that Vladimar despised people and watched with hatred as the city around him grew. When the toy store was built across the street from his mansion, the store's famous clock tower drove him into madness and, according to legend, Vladimar became pure hate and vanished in a flurry of snow. At the time that he mysteriously vanished, the toy store's clock tower stopped working. Fabian stated his belief that the attacks on the toy store were because Vladimar returned as the Snowman to finish what he started.
When the Snowman was trapped, the gang discovered that Fabian himself was responsible for the Sinister Snowman and the attacks on the toy store. He was embezzling money and trying to make Havros look crazy so he could take control of the store. The gang determined that Vladimar Harsticore's supposed disappearance was actually because he was in Miami, Florida. Velma found a postcard he sent his house staff that featured a photo of himself relaxing on Miami Beach.
