There's no way Shaggy's candle can throw a shadow of itself on the wall.
The back of Morticia's neck turns black for a second.
Gomez and Morticia say they'll be on vacation for a few days. But in all that time, nobody goes to sleep. No wonder Shaggy's so tired throughout the episode!
More Scooby Glitches!
Far from the best episode of this series, but it does have some interesting glitches. Such as:
Daphne points out the driver's side window at the motorcycle. A second later, everybody looks out the passenger window at it.
Why does Freddy say, "Oh, no!" when he spots Jeannie? Has he got something against her?
The Mystery Machine is a van, not a truck.
When he starts swimming, Shaggy is wearing long sleeves.
Why does Babu think the bedouin is a ghost? It could be just a guy.

This episode takes place in the gang's home town (note how Freddy comments they'd better head home). There is an alligator-filled swamp nearby, which leads us to believe they live somewhere in the south. Yet in Decoy for a Dognapper, their home town is near a desert pueblo.
We see a book titled Origin of Species, although the actual title, if it's the book we're all thinking of, is On the Origin of Species. There is also an even longer subtitle, but that might not be shown on the spine. More...
Although you can tell a guard by his uniform, can you tell a bank guard from any other kind of guard?
Who put that rake in the middle of the barn floor? Was it there during the dance? More...
Daphne and Velma each use the wrong voices.
Scooby's nose temporarily turns brown. In another scene, he loses his spots.
In the tunnel, Shaggy and Scooby try to run away but a gate falls and blocks the way, forcing them to go on and find the villainous strong man. The question is, who dropped the gate? The strong man? He wanted the gang to leave, and besides, he didn't even know they were in the tunnel. Maybe he was closing it to keep them from finding his lair and accidentally locked them in.
Daphne loses her lipstick. Twice. More...
Shaggy and Freddy spend the night in sleeping bags laid out side by side, but when Shag is shown a moment later, Freddy's nowhere in sight.
Daphne gives us her famous Velma impression.
Fred smashes up the front end of the Mystery Machine, but when Tinker is repairing it, he has the engine in the back. Now it is sometimes necessary to remove an engine to work on it, but it would take way too much unnecessary effort to move it into the back of the van.
All through this episode, Mark looks Hispanic, but in the Speed Buggy TV show he looked white. Actually, he was originally intended to be a Latino in the series, but somehow that idea went by the wayside. More...
Moe and Larry switch voices.
Although the Red Baron pulls the ladder off the windmill, it is later shown intact.
The Red Baron even uses a German accent when he talks to himself. The guy really gets in character.
How do the Stooges get in the barn with Freddy, Daphne, and Velma?
The mini plane continually changes in size. More...
Freddy tells Valerie to deactivate the trap, but Velma steps in and flips the switch.
Shaggy turns the crank the wrong way; he's lowering the trap, not raising it.
In a far shot of all the kids together, neither Josie nor Daphne move their lips while speaking.
The canvas, though nailed to the deck, slides across the floor when Sebastian crawls under it.
Velma grows even more suspicious of Lance Goodwin, pondering his resemblance to Capt. Scavenger. Which, incidentally is nil. They don't look at all alike. If that's your idea of deduction, then arrest Capt. Canaby, who looks a lot more like the ghost than Goodwin. More...
Don Adam's business card only reads "Don Exterminator."
The paintings are supposed to be of Lorn Chumley in his famous film roles. Yet some of them are dead ringers for the spooks in A Gaggle of Galloping Ghosts. Did Big Bob Oakley copy his costumes from old movies? Even worse, one of the paintings is of Swampy Pete from The Ghostly Creep from the Deep. I guess he copied old movies, too.
Velma speculates that one of the gang brushed against the light switch, causing the lights to go out. Then Freddy suggests that they search around the room for said switch. If they had brushed against the switch, they would be standing next to it, and wouldn't need to walk around the room looking for it.
Otto claims he warned Shaggy and Scooby not to get separated from the rest, but he really said it to the others after Shag and Scoob were gone. More...
Piles of peanuts and other foods on the floor are serious health code violations.
The same switch on the same machine is used to work the ceiling conveyor belt and the secret door.
Scooby watches as Shaggy is snagged by a hook and dropped over a vat. When Freddy asks where Shaggy is, Scooby replies, "Beats me."
Some of the candy machines are very dangerous, like the jawbreaker maker that shoots candy out like bullets.
You might have to pause it to spot this one, but when Scooby taps his head to indicate to the audience what he thinks of Shaggy's brain-power, the dog has five limbs. More...
