Indexer Notes
In his booth, Quinn, the movie projectionist, has figures of Hanna-Barbera's "The Herculoids" and "Young Samson and Goliath".
GREAT BIT:
As the Feature Creature makes its way through the many parked automobiles at the drive-in, it approaches the car of a family of four who barely give it a glance, quickly turning to their phones to text...
FATHER: "Whoa! Babe, are you seeing this?!"
MOTHER: "This movie is soooo dumb."
DAUGHTER: Sends multiple emojis.
SON: "LOL."

Indexer Notes
"Nocturna, Mistress of Midnight" is clearly a tribute to TV horror film host Elvira, Mistress of the Dark.
Although this could only be coincidence, given this story is a 2013 reprint, but the character of Nocturna (sans fright wig) rather resembles a "Scooby-Doo style" pencil and ink version of Jodie Whittaker, who assumed the role of The Doctor for Doctor Who 2017.
Reprint information is inaccurately described in the indicia as originating with "Scooby-Doo 38" (which would be from the 1997 series, and cover-dated September 2000), when it is actually reprinted from Scooby-Doo Where Are You? (2010 Series) #38 (December 2013). Though the copyright for this story, listed in the indicia as 2013, is accurate.
The original cover credits for this story, as they appeared in Scooby-Doo Where Are You? (2010 Series) #38 (December 2013), "Cover by Brizuela and Franco Riesco", appear as part of this reprint even though Brizuela and Riesco's cover is NOT reprinted in this issue.
This story offers "Special Thanks to Leandro Corral".
