The opening credits are significantly different for this episode. The opening theme song is not seen or heard, and Mindy Cohn (Velma) and Grey Griffin (Daphne) are credited in the opening credits. Normally, only Casey Kasem (Shaggy) and Frank Welker (Fred & Scooby Doo) are credited during the opening credits.
This is one of many Scooby Doo projects to involve some version of the Headless Horseman of Sleepy Hollow from Washington Irving's classic tale.
It is unknown which of Daphne's many identified uncles sent them to the condo.
This was aired as a prime-time special on a Friday evening at 8:30pm, December 13, 2002, instead of the series' Kids' WB Saturday morning slot.
