Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThis is one of the few episodes that begin in broad daylight.
- GoofsThe audience sees a hand switch on the heater to defrost the caveman just seconds before the camera pans to the right where Professor Ingstrom and Professor Wayne are together.
It is later revealed that Professor Wayne is behind the resurrection of the caveman, and a flashback reveals he is the one who switched on the electric heater.
However, he couldn't have been the hand shown, as he is working on the other end of the room when the heater is switched on.

Featured review
My least favourite 'Scooby Doo Where are You' episode, still has a lot to enjoy
"Scooby's Night with a Frozen Fright" has often been considered the weakest episode of Season 2, and this reviewer cannot disagree. Some people have also cited it as their least favourite of the show, agree with that too.
It's certainly not a bad episode, there is plenty to enjoy. Just that there are 'Scooby Doo Where are You' episodes that are more atmosphere, a less obvious perpetrator (as well as more predictable too, the perpetrator is still one of the show's more obvious ones though) and not quite as lazy a solution.
Have never been the biggest fan of the late 60s-early 70s song accompanying the longer and more elaborate chase sequences in Season 2. Admittedly "Seven Days a Week" is memorable and fits better than the other songs in the season, but mood-wise and stylistically it's very samey compared to the other songs in the season and is slightly cheesy. Also didn't really like that one character disappears for most of the episode, and it is never explained what happened to him.
On the other hand, The animation is fine, lush colours, mostly smooth but occasionally crude drawings and very detailed backgrounds that add to the atmosphere. Loved the setting of Oceanland and the oafish but intimidating character design of the Caveman. The music is haunting and energetic, especially effective in the opening scene, and the classic theme song, accompanying a fun, affectionate montage of the season's villains, once again shows why its iconic status is justified.
The show has always succeeded in its balance of humour and creepiness, and while there are more atmospheric and creepier episodes "Scooby's Night with a Frozen Fright" is highly entertaining. Not just in the vintage endearingly silly dialogue but also the great gags like the scene before the gang first encounter the caveman, the Caveman stepping on Scooby's tail and Scooby struggles to stifle his yelling out, the ice machine scene, Shaggy and Scooby as bait (seeing them in fish costumes made for quite a sight) and the end with the fish.
"Scooby's Night with a Frozen Fright" has an interesting enough story with the humour, the chemistry between the gang and Shaggy and Scooby's (who never fail to bring a smile to my face) friendship driving it very nicely. There are creepier and more memorable villains than the Caveman but he is intimidating enough. The voice acting is fine, with Don Messick and Casey Kasem definitive.
On the whole, while my least favourite episode of the show there is a lot to enjoy still. 7/10 Bethany Cox
