Mummy Scares Best is the second episode of the second season of What's New, Scooby-Doo?, and the sixteenth overall.
Premise
While in Egypt on an archaeological dig with Melbourne O'Reilly, the gang encounters Mummy of Pharaoh Scamses - a mummy who has a knack of turning tourists into zombie minions. Even worse for the gang is the fact that they are in danger of being turned into zombies themselves.

Continuity
- The gang previously met Melbourne O'Reilly in 3-D Struction.
Notes/trivia
- The episode title is a play on "Mother knows best."
- This is the first time Velma is hypnotized.
- Scooby wears a blue bandana, instead of his regular dogtag and collar.
- Frank Welker is uncredited as the Mummy of Pharaoh Scamses, and the voice actor of the tour bus driver is uncredited, too.
- This is the first episode that has Mindy Cohn voice another character besides Velma.
- This episode was included in Cartoon Network's Scooby-Doo! Back to School Marathon (August 10-11, 2013).
Miscellaneous
- Disguises: Shaggy & Scooby as sheiks; Velma and Daphne as the Fatima Sisters; Scooby as a belly dancer.
Cultural references
- Daphne says "Exit, stage right", a catchphrase of Snagglepuss (although, he was more prone to say "Exit, stage left").
Adaptations
- On June 30, 2004, DC Comics published the one-shot, Kids' WB! JPA: Jam-Packed Action.
Animation mistakes and/or technical glitches
- After Daphne clipped the strap on Shaggy's sandal to pick the lock, Shaggy's sandal was back to normal for the rest of the episode.
Inconsistencies/continuity errors and/or goofs/oddities
- Giza is on the outskirts of Cairo, but all the different sites are just lumped into being in Cairo.
- Melbourne was camping with the gang when the mummy watched them from atop the pyramid, and also with them when the mummy first appeared and made the sand storm. It couldn't have been Melbourne dressed up as the mummy, so it would have to be Prince Qasl or Madam Chantal.
