The Spooky Space Kook was the disguise of Henry Bascomb.

Physical appearance[]

It appeared to be a ghostly apparition of a humanoid inside of a blue spacesuit. A skull was visible through the helmet, with dull yellow eyes set inside black sockets. The "background" of the creature's space helmet was entirely dark but occasionally glowed in a sinister red hue whenever the creature laughed.

Powers and abilities[]

The 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.

Personality[]

It tried to scare off snoopers with its high-pitched laugh.

Notes/trivia[]

  • The name given to the monster is only an approximation of the episode's title, it isn't given an official name on-screen. Modern interpretations will usually simplify it as "Space Kook".
    • Its model sheet referred it as the "Ghostly Spaceman".
  • It appeared as an employee of the law firm Sebben and Sebben in the Harvey Birdman, Attorney at Law TV series, appearing in non-speaking cameos in the episodes Deadomutt, Part 1 and Blackwatch Plaid. In the same series, he also has another non-speaking cameo in The Devlin Made Me Do It, where he is a spectator at one of Ernie Devlin's shows.
  • 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.
  • Although he is a ghost from space, and the Brazilian dub gives him a very similar name, he is not to be confused with Space Ghost.
