The Scooby gang spends the night in a creepy hotel.

Thoughts, Details and Recap

I love this episode. It's got a great creep factor. There's a Shining vibe, a Psycho vibe and the name of the hotel makes me think of the film "The Good Son". I don't think I ever saw "The Good Son" but the trailer always stuck with me and not in the cheerful way.

They stop at the Good Son Hotel. We meet a Shining reference in the form of Mr. Stanley. The hotel is filled with plaques explaining the rules of the hotel. Scooby and Shaggy are the first ones to disregard the rules. The ghost disregards their attempt to distract her with a sketch.

Early in the episode Fred promises not to tell them what to do. Daphne and Velma take advantage of Fred's promise to not tell them what to do by doing what they want. Daphne's fixation with Feng Shui and an apparent lack of understanding of Feng Shui actually puts them in danger. Of course, Daphne's fixation helps them solve the mystery later.

The cellar has a plaque and creepy dolls. Neither of which creep me out but that's probably because I keep my creepy dolls in the living room. The cellar is a great touch. The episode is composed of parts that would make a classic horror film (aside from the soundtrack).

They capture and unmask Mother. Then they have a twist end that's perfect. This is one of the best episodes of the series.
