In Mystery Skulls Animated: Ghost, we met some van-driving interfering youths with more backstory than a certain 1960's TV show ever had (Mystery Inc. notwithstanding). Now it's time reacquaint and just plain acquaint outselves with foes old and new older in Mystery Skulls Animated: Freaking Out.

Also, this unofficial music video for the Mystery Skulls song Magic, which one might interpret as a sequel to the other official music video for Ghost.

Oh man yes Mystery Skulls

I can't be the only one who was introduced to their music through that Ace Attorney animated music video

Said music video, which sparked all that came after.

How fun. I've never seen these, but I came to Mystery Ghosts via the blogosphere a few years back, and found his debut album to be a delightfully mindless windows-down highway dancefloor record of a type I hear all too rarely these days. Thanks for this.

Great stuff! The TVTropes page clarifies a LOT of stuff. I'm amazed at the sheer amount creativity and execution on display in these videos.

These cartoons are so beautifully economical in their wordless storytelling.

I love this. I didn't realize how much I'd enjoy a variant on the Scooby gang that featured actual supernatural stuff. I get the feeling that Cartoon Network or ADHD will scoop up Mystery Ben soon- a Steven Universe take on a Mystery Inc. style ghost hunter team would be terrific.
