Scooby-Doo Codexery — Data & Quality

We publish our audit record because accuracy claims should be checkable. Every entry on this site runs through an automated fact-audit pipeline (accuracy audit → source-grounded repair → visual QA); this page is generated from that pipeline's own report, not written by hand.

This is a fiction/fan codex: entries describe an in-universe canon. Our audits check canon and internal consistency — external fact-checking does not apply the way it does on real-subject codexes.

Recent findings (audit lane, verbatim)

Casey Kasem — The 'DID YOU KNOW' section claims Casey Kasem was initially hesitant about voicing an animal, but Shaggy is a human, not an animal. This is a factual error; the correct anecdote is that Kasem was initially hesitant about voicing a character who was a 'hippie'

Casey Kasem — The 'DID YOU KNOW' section states Kasem was replaced by Billy West for 'A Pup Named Scooby-Doo' (1988–1991). This is incorrect; Billy West did not voice Shaggy in that series. The role of Shaggy in 'A Pup Named Scooby-Doo' was voiced by Don Messick for the fir

Frank Welker — First Appearance Era=What's New, Scooby-Doo? (2002) is incorrect; Frank Welker first appeared in the original Scooby-Doo, Where Are You! (1969) as the voice of Fred Jones.

Frank Welker — The claim that Welker voiced Scrappy-Doo in 'The Scooby-Doo Show' (1976-1978) is incorrect; Scrappy-Doo did not appear until 'Scooby-Doo and Scrappy-Doo' (1979-1980), and Welker did not voice Scrappy-Doo in that series—Scrappy was voiced by Lennie Weinrib and

The Vampire — The first appearance of a vampire disguise is not the 1970 episode 'A Night of Fright Is No Delight'; that episode features a ghostly 'Creeper' and a mummy, not a vampire.

The Ghost of the Flying Dutchman — The 'DID YOU KNOW' section claims 'the ghost's debut episode did not feature a haunted ship or the Flying Dutchman vessel; the mystery was set in a haunted mansion.' This contradicts the LORE section, which correctly states the debut episode involves the Flyin

The Night of the Living Dracula — The episode title 'The Night of the Living Dracula' is not a real canon episode title.

The Night of the Living Dracula — The airdate October 25 is incorrect for any episode matching the described content; the closest episode 'A Night of Fright Is No Delight' aired on October 24, 1969.

Transylvania — The 'First Major Appearance' section incorrectly states that the first major appearance set in Transylvania is in the 1972 film 'The Scooby-Doo Movie' (also known as 'Scooby-Doo Meets the Boo Brothers'), but that film is not set in Transylvania; it is set in t

The Spooky Swamp — The entry states the episode aired in 1970, but the correct first air date is December 26, 1969.
