“	I am Nightfright! Scream! Scream! Time for you to die!	”
—Nightfright.

Nightfright was the disguise of Argus Fentonpoof, a screenwriter and production assistant.

Physical appearance

He is a blue-skinned demonic figure in a black cape. Nightfright almost looks like a Minotaur or Jersey Devil.

Personality

He seems persistent and ill-tempered, as seen when Vincent Van Ghoul was pretending that he wasn't even there.

Powers and abilities

He has superb athletic skill and can leap great distances. He also has razor-sharp claws. He is strong enough to easily punch through and rip out a door, but not enough to get through metal bars or barricaded doors.

History

Early life

Nightfright was originally the monster in the proposed movie Scream, Scream! Time for You to Die, written by Argus Fentonpoof. However the movie was cancelled when Vincent Van Ghoul pulled out of the starring role in order to make a reality show. This resulted in Fentonpoof going bankrupt.
The movie title was also Nightfright's catchphrase.

Scooby-Doo! Mystery Incorporated

Season one

Argus Fentonpoof unmasked.

By wearing this costume, and getting filmed terrorizing Van Ghoul and his guests, Fentonpoof hoped to start his own movie career. He paid off the other actors, who were doing monster roles for Van Ghoul, so that he could pretend to knock them out easily. He was pleased when he was caught by the gang because he would get to make a movie about the case after he got out of jail.

Post-Nibiru

When the Evil Entity was destroyed, it altered all of reality for Crystal Cove; thus Nightfright wasn't a disguise in a past.

Notes/trivia

Nightfright portrayed in Crystal Cove Online

• Strangely, his skin was red instead of blue in the Scooby-Doo! Mystery Incorporated Crystal Cove Online game, this may be his daytime palette, as his daytime palette is never shown in the show.
