Scooby-Doo! I'll save the review of the series in general for another day. However the focus tonight is on the Headless Horseman.
The gang goes to a Halloween bash thrown by their friend Beth Crane, who is a descendant of Ichabod Crane. Hijink(ies) ensue when the Headless Horseman arrives and scares the party-goers off. Beth's aunt is shown to have a necklace that is apparently cursed and the reason why the Horseman is haunting things tonight. A rather shady cousin offers to fly the diamonds off to his banker boss, though is taken by the ghost.
Following some hunches and various clues, Fred decides to take the gang to airport to set the trap. In the end, our villain is captured and revealed to be the cousin and the diamonds are reclaimed.
The episode's mystery is extremely easy to solve, though that is alright since that's generally the case with the mysteries. Animation is pretty on par with Scooby t.v episodes and the script has an oddity here and there. The most notable example is during an exchange between Beth and the gang when she wonders how Shaggy has heard of Ichabod and the Horseman. One thing that make this episode a bit fun is the inclusion of Scooby-Dum as he joins the gang this time. Thankfully Scrappy-Doo is nowhere in sight.
For Scooby-Doo it's quite an enjoyable episode and perfect for the Halloween season.
