Release

Dates are in order of release:

Behind the scenes

  • How many times does Velma say "Jinkies?" Twice.
  • Mrs. Bobbencobibbleplatz is simply credited as "Turnip."

Errors

  • When Shaggy uses an improper use of "like," when he says, "Yeah, like, this whole neighborhood's been spookified," he nor Velma snaps the elastic band against his wrist.
  • Despite being called Mary Anne Gleardan, the credits say "Mary Anne Geerdon." In the end credits of "Wrath of the Krampus," she is credited as Mary-Anne Gleardon, while a letter in that episode actually has her name spelled as Mary Anne Gleardan.

Everlasting influence

  • In "Wrath of the Krampus," Mystery Inc. visits Mary Anne in prison to ask her for help in catching Krampus in exchange for a reduced prison sentence.
  • On August 1, 2016, this episode was redone for the Capstone book A Song for Zombies.

Marketing and promotion

The episode inspired the fourth stage of Cartoon Network to update their online game, Scooby-Doo! Mystery Incorporated: Crystal Cove Online, which was updated at the time of the episode's release.
