Powers and abilities
The Spooky Space Kook left glowing footprints and fingerprints that dissipate after an undetermined time. This was later revealed to be due to rubber gloves and boots dipped in phosphorous.

- It cameoed in the comic-book style opening of the direct-to-video film Scooby-Doo! Mask of the Blue Falcon. It also appeared in the intro of the direct-to-video film Scooby-Doo! WrestleMania Mystery.
