* The immortal line, ''"Yes, and I'd have gotten away with it, too, if it wasn't for these blasted kids and their dog!"'' was first uttered in this episode.
* This episode is an ode to the three famous Universal movie monsters of the 1930's and 1940's: Dracula, Frankenstein, and Wolf Man.
* Shaggy calls Scooby, Igor, referring to Dr. Frankenstein's assistant.


==Errors==
==Errors==
* * When Velma reacts to the tandem bicycle going out of control, Daphne's lips move (or at least just barely).
{{Scoobypedia}}
* Samson points off to his left, saying that Max flew off the bicycle in that direction, yet Scooby finds him hanging from a tree off to the strongman's right.
* Despite its appearance, the Wolfman is only referred to as a "werewolf."
* Velma's mouth doesn't move when cheering for Scooby after he rescues Max.
* When the Wolfman is first looking down from the castle, the small gap between his arm and his stomach briefly flashes the color of his coat.
* It takes mere moments for the rest of the gang to get out the van and out of its reach, after Scooby saves Max.
* There is no one in the Mystery Machine during the moment the Werewolf sees it driving towards the castle.
* At first, Max is standing behind Scooby, with Samson next to him, then suddenly Max is by Scooby's side, and Samson is gone.
* When Shaggy suggests going into the gypsy wagon, Scooby's ears stick out the top of the front of the Mystery Machine.
* While unhypontizing Scooby when the Ghost Clown says ''you shall not work in this circus'' his eye sockets turn yellow
* When Fred agrees to go into the gypsy wagon, the collar of his shirt is white instead of blue.
* When Shaggy says, "Don't tell me that there are two of them", his head is up instead of right.
* When the Mystery Machine first arrives at the castle, it's empty.
* The Clown's lips are coloured red, but when hypnotizing Daphne, they suddenly turn grey. It does flicker red at the beginning of his sentence, though.
* When Frankenstein's Monster is first heading towards Daphne, a small spot on his neck flickers between pale green and blue.
* Perhaps for more detail, Daphne is not only given white sclera, but also blue irises when being hypnotized by the Ghost Clown.
* The gargoyle casts a shadow, although the lasso doesn't.
* When the Ghost Clown yells "Give me back that whistle", the black part of his costume is colored red.
* When the chandelier drops on the Werewolf, the rope disappears, but then reappears when the Werewolf attempts to wrestle himself loose.
* Samson hangs onto the bicycle handlebars, keeping his arms in exactly the same position, even though the handlebars are no longer attached to the bike.
* When Shaggy and Scooby enter the dumb waiter, the doors close. But when a different view is shown, the doors to the dumb waiter are open.
* It is revealed in this episode that Daphne can't even ride a bicycle. However, she rode one in the ''[[The New Scooby-Doo Movies]]'' episode "[[The Dynamic Scooby-Doo Affair]]", very proficiently. Naturally, she could have practiced a lot since then.
* The gang was only using one rope to pull Daphne out of the dungeon. But when Scooby went to go trap Dracula, where did he get another rope from?
* Velma's fine with clowns in this episode, which contradicts the later produced ''[[What's New, Scooby-Doo?]]'' episode "[[A Terrifying Round with a Menacing Metallic Clown]]", in which claims she's had a phobia of clowns since her fifth birthday.
* As Shaggy, Scooby, and Velma are rescuing Daphne, the vampire appears. In this appearance, he has a large, pointed nose, not unlike that of Big Bob Oakley, despite the fact that his nose appears shorter, stubbier, and flatter when we saw him before.
* How did the gang not even realize that Scooby is not with them when they were leaving the circus? 
** This may be explained by the fact that in this instance, he is seen in profile, rather than being seen by the head.
* When the gang (minus Scooby) were leaving the circus with the Mystery Machine going from left to right it is obvious that the animators simply flipped the cells of it going from right to left. Unfortunately, this results in the steering wheel being on the left side and the gang being in the opposite positions (Fred, Daphne, Velma, and Shaggy from left to right) from where they should be when the animators change to the front view.
* After Shaggy, Scooby, Daphne and Velma capture the vampire, and when Shaggy says, "Speaking of escaping, let's get out of here!", Scooby agrees, with an emphatic "Rooby Roo!" and he is seen and heard running off-screen. However, the next shot shows Daphne, Shaggy, and Velma running through the statue entrance that Dracula came in from, but Scooby is never actually seen to enter it on screen.
* The Ghost Clown was controlling Scooby like a puppet but that is impossible to do since he just hypontized him.
* When Velma asked Shaggy and Scooby why they were riding on that cart, the background behind them changes.
* The Clown attempted to convince the gang that there were two of them when they attempted to capture him. The Clown they captured was a balloon which was deflated to make it appear as though the Clown had disappeared into thin air, however, wouldn't the gang have seen the balloon in the cage once it had deflated? (Perhaps they did not check until after they had caught him?)
* When Shaggy and Fred open the coffin, the vampire is wearing the tapestry, which Shaggy and Scooby used to trap him a little later in the episode. Then a few seconds later, the vampire is wearing his black tuxedo again.
* Right before the Clown is finally captured, Scooby and Shaggy hold up a mirror to prevent themselves from being hypnotized. The Clown should have stopped the hypnotism chant when he saw the mirror; instead he hypnotizes himself.
* The headlights shine on the gang's faces, then on their backs.
* Mr. Barnstorm states that the lions had begun acting like scared kittens, yet the one Shaggy tames seems to be acting perfectly normal. It is possible the Ghost Clown reversed his hypnosis on that lion, assuming this is why the lions were acting scared.
* When the gang goes back from the castle to the gypsy wagon, they encounter the gypsy with no earring on her left ear, but when she runs away with the tapestry, she suddenly has an earring on her left ear.
* [[Shaggy Rogers|Shaggy]] says about going back to the hero sandwich in the cage (that the Ghost Clown balloon would be caught in), but there would be no reason why it would be there, especially since he would've surely ate it not long after getting it.
* How did Oakley create that lightning effect?
* Daphne says she hopes Scooby doesn't try the high wire again, even though she wasn't on-screen with Velma and Shaggy when it happened. It's possible she peeked inside the tent off-screen and saw Scooby on the high wire.
* The Ancient Egyptians so completely obliterated all trace of King Tutankhamun that it wasn't until the discovery of his tomb in 1922 that he was even known to have existed, so there is no way a person in 1668 would have known of him.
* It is not revealed how the Ghost Clown/Harry the Hypnotist was brought out of his trance.
* When Freddy and Velma encountered Dracula for the second time, Velma asks who it is, when they literally just him outside the castle.
* At the end of the episode, a young boy in the audience is inexplicably holding a balloon shaped similar to Scooby's head.
* The success of this scheme by Oakley would have most likely failed in real life because there was no way he could change costumes so fast and get to the castle without the gang seeing him and getting back to the gypsy wagon.
* Velma loses her glasses and asks Shaggy for her extra pair, so she doesn't even try going back and looking for her old pair. It's possible that she was more focused on solving the mystery, but still, she should have at least tried to go and find them.
* The two times Dracula vanishes, he gets more and more transparent until he's gone.
* The Wolfman, even hunched, is significantly shorter than Oakley himself.
* Frankenstein's monster sounds different at his last appearance.
* Daphne's one piece of paper becomes a page of an entire notepad when Fred shows it to Scooby and Shag.
* It is unknown how Dracula vanished in that coffin.
