For our penultimate episode of Season 6, Justin Cooper leads us through abandoned amusement parks, haunted mansions and old defunct coal mines, in search of ghouls, ghosts and other phoney baloney creeps that we guarantee with turn out to be dudes in masks. Also, wires and holograms are probably involved.

Like, jinkies! It's gonna be wild, man!

It's no mystery that Scooby Doo is one of the greatest, most enduring cartoon show of all time! It's time we throw that giggling great dane a Scooby Snack!
