FotW: SDMI - The Shrieking Madness

As you can tell by our episode's title, today Mystery Incorporated tackles the Chthulu mythos! Gotta love those weird ugly squid gods, and the fact that their writer chickened out when it came to describing them only adds to their charm. Everyone loves designing creatures that can "break" the mind of anyone who looks at it directly.

Scooby-Doo was neither the first nor the last children's show to tackle this topic, but MI is our first real representation of it for the franchise. Let's talk about it and the gang's first college tour.

Backstory: The gang are all driven to the Darrow University by their parents whose motives are far different from their children's. Meanwhile, the college is playing host to two popular writers who couldn't be any more different. Harlan Ellison is a no-nonsense tightwad whose work is more "respectable" than the cosmic horror tales written by H.P. Hatecraft - this universe's version of our H.P.

One of Ellison's fans disparages the works of Hatecraft, and is swiftly attacked and kidnapped by the main villain of those stories. The gang mostly stumbles into this mystery by accident, preoccupied by their early brushes with college life. Daphne becomes a communist, Fred is put through homoerotic hazing, and Shaggy points out that he's no longer voiced by a vegetarian in a very unsubtle way.

Velma is the one who actually came to meet Ellison at a book signing, and the gang soon cross each other's paths before finding Ellison being terrorized by green Squidward.

The gang still have their hang-ups, much more strained thanks to everyone's love troubles. They even get distracted from the mystery thanks to their previous college antics, until Char Gar Gothakon attacks Shag and Scoob directly. When the gang confronts Hatecraft, he first gives them the "whispers from another world that I translate into the best-selling written word" spiel. However, to dispel the beast he decides to reveal to an entire class of people the truth.

He made it all up, there is no dark force from an alternate dimension giving him material to write. This upsets his number one fan, but that pales in comparison to how badly Charizard Gengar Gothita takes the news. The Gangrene Illithid kidnaps his creator and takes him back to Hateman's house, which is also where the Ellison fan was being kept prisoner in.

Chary Gary becomes another attempted murderer, deciding that Hatecraft deserved an appointment with the ground after a trip to the roof. The gang distracts the monster long enough to save both Hatecraft, and Char Gar Gothakon, when they nearly fall off the roof. They finally muzzled his tentacles, a trick Fred learned from his college buddies, solving the mystery you already did several minutes ago.

Design: Char Gar Gothakon is a humanoid octopus-human hybrid wearing cultish robes, obviously based on Chthulu and Illithids from D&D. Octopus-faced monsters are just awesome, with the sea creature they're based on already being some of the coolest things on our planet. Did you know all of them are venomous, and some of the best hunter-killers in the sea? They're like wolves in that way, creatures we can both hype up as supernatural omens of death and real-life predators you don't mess with.

Char Gar Gothakon: The Beast with no name, is rather lanky despite how stocky its wearer is. It has diamond-shaped eyes with orange irises and yellow sclera and pupils. It has a globular smooth head and wriggling tentacles encompassing most of its lower face. It's body, especially its "forehead", is covered in skin patterns resembling green splotches like the markings of a frog. It also has small siphons, two on each side of its head, in place of ears. Another easy to miss detail are the gillman-like fins on its forearms.

Its outfit is rather flamboyant, resembling a priest's dressing with a turned-up high collar that's too large for its already giant head. Its shoulder pads are gigantic and connected to the rest of the outfit by the belt. It's belt and bicep bracelets are all gold.

It doesn't even wear a shirt, the middle piece of its outfit being mostly made-up of intersecting strips that expose its shoulders, ribs, and V-line.

Honestly, it's a pretty slutty costume. Besides it's vertical striped long skirt it also wears fingerless elbow-length gloves that also have gaps to expose MORE of its skin.

For powers, it uses a sonic screech that's powerful enough to Launch a grown man onto a car's hood. Its face tentacles can also stretch out, revealing a large circular maw full of sharp teeth underneath, to entangle a victim. The tentacles also stretch and contort in a way that shouldn't even be physically possible since they were taken from a real dead octopus.

Reveal: The true culprit turns out to be Hatecraft's own superfan and student assistant, Howard E. Roberts (named after Robert E. Howard). He decided to bring Hatecraft's monster to life to get back at the haters. However, when Hatecraft declared himself a fraud the superfan decided that the author needed to be destroyed. He made his sonic death blast technology with the help of his college courses by the way.

It is actually through deriding their fans that Ellison and Hatecraft actual find companionship, leaving the gang to discover the archived documents stolen by Mr. E left in the Mystery Machine.

The plot thickens.

5/5, Western Media needs more Mindflayer rep. Nice Gregorian Chants by the way.

See, you can talk about Lovecraft without mentioned his cat being named after the N-Word.

Whenever I watch Transformers Prime I get whiplash whenever Dreadwing shows up. I'm either "OH SHIT IT'S THE CANDY MAN!!" or "I have a brain injury"

Same with Silas. I either go "IT WAS THAT DREADED BANDICOOT" or "CONNER WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING?"

And Ratchet. I go "Char Gar Gothakon: The Beast That Hath No Name."

And Bulkhead. I go "I am from Samoa..."

And Megatron. I either go "We gotta split up gang." or "REHEHEHEHEHE (Scooby Doo Laugh)"

Ok ok, I know it’s kinda cheesy, but the line “Char-Gar Gothakon. The creature that hath no name.” Is actually a banger line for a song and I’m having so much fun singing it out loud in different melodies, and now I’m wanting someone to make an actual song with that line in it

[shshshshshowrunner]

[Casually, genuinely]

We'll be okay.

[She flips open the cover of the book.]

It's about Char Gar Gothakon. Which is an entity from Scooby Doo Mystery Incorporated.

[She says, choosing not to mention the blood-doodle of Kayne and Showie High-Fiving and saying "WE GOT EM!"]

But just because he's fictional doesn't mean he's not real. [She looks up at Arthur and thus John] The King in Yellow is fictional in this universe, after all.

So, I DO know enough about Scooby Doo Lore so I think I can explain it:

Scooby Doo Mystery Incorporated it's a very important part of Scooby Doo Lore. It's a prequel of sorts to the events of the original series, where the Gang, in high school, solves monster related crimes in their home town of Crystal Cove. The show ends with a timeline reset, their parents stop being abusive, and they start their cross country trip of monster hunting.

What they DON'T know at first, however, is that this is only a mirror, a twisted reflection to an ancient Aztec Group of Monster Hunters with their pet jaguar, that discovered a creature, a monster, the Nibiru Entity, a dread being from across the stars, and trapped him inside a Crystal Coffin, sealed shut with the help of other Gods.

But before the 5 of them could finally strike the sealed god down, the Conquistadores showed up, saw 4 locals and a jaguar about to strike down a coffin filled with pearls, and in their greed they shot them all, and stole the coffins for themselves.

This act of Greed is what kick-starts the Curse, the curse that moves man to take on the guise of a monster to appease their desires, and that greed, just like those 4 monster hunters and their pet jaguar, is then mirrored and twisted with every new loop.

The being within the coffin is the Nibiru Entity. They are Char Gar Gothakon, the Beast that has No Name, they are a trickster and a monster, the real monster, nestled within the center of it all, a creature slowly corrupting the town he was buried beneath, hidden away by the Conquistadores as they slaughtered each other in their greed, hidden behind puzzles and enigmas.

He is part of a race of elder gods, being beyond creation, that come into reality taking the form of animal gods, and then bang with the local Fauna. Every single Hanna and Barbera talking animal is but a descendant of these creatures, their intelligence and speech a result of their dread ancestry, and yes, this includes Scooby Doo.

Scooby Doo descended from an elder god.

The Nibiru Entity is slowly corrupting the town that will one day become Crystal Cove, and in order to do so, he creates mockeries of his enemies, the ones who trapped him in his coffin, influencing the minds of mortals to create, like clockwork, a new gang with 4 archetypes and a talking animal, a descendant of his ilk, the first to feel his corruption.

Every gang will have to face the horror of men's greed, and then "stumble" upon the mystery, the desire to resolve the secret of crystal cove, the sealed coffin hidden behind traps and riddles.

There are 4 monks from the local convent and their Donkey. The Donkey will cause an earthquake in his search for the coffin, sinking his friends with his monastery.

There are 4 cowgirls and their cow.

There are 4 masked Zorros and their Skunk.

There are 4 adventurers and their Orangutan. They dissolve their group in bitterness at the start of world war I. The leader, the Fred, will be devastated by the death of the Orangutan, and will live in seclusion with the relics of their adventures. The Scientist, the Velma, the German, will return to her country after world war I, and will build an army of Robot Automatons, fashioned after a very specific group, which she will then use to mine the ruins of the sunken monastery for pieces of the puzzle, dying old and alone, in her outpost beneath the seas.

There is a family of 4 and their cat. They murder each other as they try to get to a key to get to the coffin, the last survivor, the little kid, living for decades alone in the ruins of his house.

And then there's Mystery Incorporated. 4 friends and their talking animal, the Leader and the Beauty are dating, the Scientist is holding everything together, the Coward is taking care of the Animal, and the Animal is a Nazi Parrot who used to know the German Scientist from the previous group and is engineering the group to do his bidding to get to the coffin for the promise of wretched, terrible power.

The leader and the beauty are Fred's parents. The Scientist (a WOC) will become a local DJ. The Coward will become a morbidly obese business man, one of the richest men in the world, working hard to make money and pollute the planet.

The Parrot will be thrown in a mental asylum, strapped on an Hannibal Lecter mask. He will get out of it. He will murder people. He will get a hold on the Nazi Robots and use them to murder specifically Lesbians (Hot Dog Waters) and Minorities (Angel, the Scientist from his group). He will find the coffin and free the entity and be consumed by it as the Coward watches in horror his friend, the monster responsible for everything he went through, who put a fucking bomb in his spine to detonate if he didn't comply, be erased by the entity.

Which leads us to the actual Gang. Scooby, Shaggy, Fred, Daphne and Velma. They live in a town distorted by greed and horror, they want to get to the bottom of it, and they do in the end. They find the entity and strike it down with the same spear the original group failed to use, the entity now erased from existence as this happens, history rewritten so there was never a curse, and all their parents, all the adults in their lives never succumbed to it, none of them abusive or dismissive of them.

And yes, Velma gets her dead girlfriend back.

(Unrelated note, but during the search for the coffin, in tandem with the Parrot and his allies, Scooby Doo visits the Red Room.

This is a MAJOR plot development, and is the dimension between ours and that of the entity, a dimension of dreams and nightmares, where the souls of those corrupted by the curse go to rot, and where the shining beacon of the first monster hunters stands, and with them their spear).

This is wild thank you for sharing this omg

[nebulaleaf]

what’s the wildest scooby doo mystery inc lore you got

where do i START idk many people who’re into scooby doo and i am Not figuring out if there’s a scooby doo fandom or not so these takes are entirely my own and i am also not tagging this as scoob doo. ALSO this is going to be completely incoherent but thanks for the ask anyway <3  with SDMI it’s hard to choose just one scrap of wild lore. yeah you can go the funny route and say “there’s a character named Hotdog Water and she’s integral to the plot” or “daphne dates in-universe taylor lautner and he’s called baylor hotner, but he’s seriously an insane clown” or “scooby almost gets a girlfriend but it turns out she’s possessed by a higher being and they stay friends” or “there’s a nazi parrot”  or “Char Gar Gothakon is their Cthulhu and was written by H.P Hatecraft, and in the same episode they introduce a random dude who appears like. three times in the series and the final time it’s him revealing he still remembers the timeline that the mystery gang reset” (btw. the gang reset the timeline. ) ...which this list gets less funny as the points go on but it’s a showcase of how much stupid SHIT is in this show. I adore it for that so much, especially since it came out after what’s new scooby doo and set itself up as something darker with hints of plot and from what i remembered, actually delivered? sure, it’s still pretty monster of the week-y but things carry over through the series instead of resetting at the end of the ep. the payoff is out there but i think it pays off. oh, and with the darker theme? I don’t think it goes too hard into that where it feels like it was a reboot done by the CW lol. oh im getting off topic... anyway i think my favourite wildest lore is probably the fact that there are multiple “gangs” though the earth timeline, they all solve mysteries, have a group of 4 humans and 1 talking animal. and the animal corrupts and splits them apart pretty much every time. sometimes through murder. this is due to the influence of an evil being manipulating the animal but Goddamn! A fucking donkey blew up Crystal Cove and killed the friar gang iirc. also im pretty sure one of these gangs started WW1 somehow but don’t quote me on that because i don’t fuuuuuuuuuuuuully remember. wowowow I rambled way too much about this !! it was fun though, i really gotta give this series another rewatch. i always get halfway through season one and then take a break, forget every thing, then i don’t wanna watch the rest of it due to forgetting. there’s only two seasons it really shouldnt be that hard

Scooby Doo’s Homages to Horror.

Even though it’s over, I still love Scooby Doo Mystery Inc. It’s the best Scooby Doo show, hands down. Great characterization, a suitably creepy myth arc, nice animation, Marcie, awesome callbacks to old Scooby Doo, and some of the culprits were the supporting cast, so they were established before they were made the villains.

But one really awesome thing Mystery Inc did was show off it’s love of horror and strange fiction in general. The homages in that series were great.

Vincent Van Ghoul. He’s an obvious send up to Vincent Price as Vincent Price played the original Vincent Van Ghoul back in The Thirteen Ghosts of Scooby Doo. Here he’s an actor rather than a sorcerer, he’s big into horror films and he’s a great cook (like Vincent Price was in real life).

Char Gar Gothakon, a reference to Cthulhu.

H.P. Hatecraft, Char Gar’s creator and a clear parody of HP Lovecraft, Cthulhu’s creator. Even better he’s voiced by 

Jeffrey Combs who played Herbert West in Reanimator, one of the most popular adaptations of Lovecraft’s writings.

Scooby Doo get’s stuck in the Red Room at one point (Called the Sitting Room), from Twin Peaks, with Michael J. Anderson returning to play the Man from Another Place.

Though it’s not the most obvious, Velma apparently dressed like Rorschach from Watchmen at the start of Season 2. Having the trench coat, hat, striped pants and odd voice. Sure the mask isn’t there, but she does specifically drop Rorschach’s name.

The Dreamweaver, based on Freddy Krueger (invades your dreams to harm you) and Jareth the Goblin King from Labyrinth.

Maybe the Kriegstaffebot which may be an homage to the Helghast soldiers from Wolfenstein. Maybe. That design isn’t too uncommon.

And that’s not even getting into the other homages like to Dynomutt Dog Wonder (and Frank Miller’s Batman), Dr. Zin from Johnny Quest, The Funky Phantom, and the other Hannah Barbara shows.

“Char Gar Gothakon, the beast that hath no name!”

“But how can the beast have no name when you just named it in the title?”

Char Gar Gothakon

The Mystery Incorporated gang was spending a day at Darrow University for future college prospects when Char Gar Gothakon, a mythological beast from one of H.P Hatecraft's books, appeared and began attacking people, specifically fans of rival writer Harlan Ellison. The beast ended up being a kid who was a huge fan devoted to the myths written by Hatecraft. Culprit: Howard E. Roberts Episode: The Shrieking Madness Originally aired: October 18, 2010 Series: Scooby Doo Mystery Incorporated
