By far the lowest I have seen Jeepers it's the Creeper Like I commented on ScoobySnax, I just kind of find that one to be a lot of running around being chased by the Creeper but not a lot of development of the mystery. I don't hate it, but it's just an average episode for me in a series of amazing ones.

I have it around the halfway mark, maybe a little lower so I definitely see where you are coming from. I had just never seen anyone rank it that low before. I feel like the episode’s strongest aspect is just it’s icon status

I do agree that the Creeper is a phenomenal villain, whereas, the episode ends up being just a whole load of running around. I really love the beginning of the episode though - with them finding the bank guard and taking him to Carswell's house.

Well in my ever-changing rankings of Scooby Doo episodes, I have come back to this series a lot recently. So here is where I stand
25. Scooby’s Night With a Frozen Fright- Certainly not bad, but probably among the most forgettable episodes to me. Not much attachment to this one admittedly plays a role here
24. Mystery Mask Mix Up- Well this one is certainly questionable, but the highlights in it are pretty undeniable. Such as the joke about the storeroom
23. Never Ape an Ape Man- I actually have quite a bit of fun with this episode, but admittedly, rewatching it kinda revealed it as a bit of a rough spot. Honestly, probably the objective worst episode but I have a big soft spot for it that unfortunately can’t get it any higher than 23 on this list
22. Decoy for a Dognapper- This one honestly might have the most bad in it of any of the series, but I enjoy it a good bit. I love the unique take on the mystery here. Showing the behind the scenes of the crime, and the spy-like plot. A lot of stuff here that didn’t quite hit the mark as much (such as bad and questionable villains), but I like the concept
21. Scooby Doo and a Mummy Too- A classic. It never has quite reached the levels of greatness as many others in this series though for me. This is just a really solid SDWAY episode
20. Foul Play in Funland- Fine, it grew on me. Though the childhood disappointment of this episode still lingers, Charlie is a CLASSIC villain and Funland is an amazing setting
19. A Tiki Scare is No Fair- Similar to my opinions on Mummy Too, but a Hawaiian setting keeps it a little above that one
18. Hassle in the Castle- Objectively, it could be higher, but the overplay and over-releases of this one just kinda takes enough of the enjoyment to keep it down this far. Plus, I just find many others to be better anyway
17. That’s Snow Ghost- The first Winter episode is a classic. Granted, it gets completely outdone by the next two (Bigfoot and Watt a Shocking Ghost) but this is still a great episode
16. Mine Your Own Business- I really like this one. Especially the setting
15. Jeepers it’s the Creeper- Ok, ok. The top 15 here are all REALLY good in my books. I can’t even call Creeper overrated despite it being this low. I just found more to like in other episodes I guess
14. What a Night for a Knight- What an awesome pilot. There are some rough spots, but it sets up the franchise to really find its footing as it goes
13. Don’t Fool With a Phantom- Glad this one is finally getting its due. Fun all around with a hint of creepy
12. Go Away Ghost Ship- What a classic. With Redbeard, and the classic cutting a donut with the fog. Great episode
11. A Gaggle of Galloping Ghosts- One of the iconic episodes of the series. Just such a wonderful episode, with 4 villains that have ALL become incredibly recognizable
10. Who’s Afraid of the Big Bad Werewolf- While this one has gotten more acclaim, it still feels like such an under appreciated episode. And I especially love the setting
9. Bedlam in the Bigtop- My childhood favorite is still a spectacular episode. But MAN this ranking has already gotten hard, and these top 8 are just exceptional
8. A Clue For Scooby Doo- This episode was a HUGE step for Scooby Doo. Game changer
7. Which Witch is Which- This episode only gets better as I age. Not the last time I’ll say that, but just EXCELLENT
6. Spooky Space Kook- It is Spooky Space Kook. I mean come on, arguably the most beloved episode of the franchise and for good reason
5. Haunted House Hang Up- So if my top 5 says anything, I am a sucker for a classic in a haunted house
4. The Backstage Rage- The atmosphere and creep factor are just unrivaled. My opinion on this has only risen, and it only dropped a couple of spots because, well…
3. Nowhere to Hyde- It is fairly evident that this is an excellent episode of Scooby Doo, but I just keep coming back again and again to this episode. I’m not even sure why. I just love it so much
2. A Night of Fright is No Delight- What I would consider the most acclaimed episode in Scooby history, the plot and atmosphere are MASTERFULLY done. One of my top favorites of all time, similar to
1. What the Hex Going On- After Bedlam in the Bigtop, this became my favorite episode of the series, and it hasn’t even come close to wavering. Everything about this: the plot, the creepy atmosphere, the mystery, the monster, the comedy, etc. is just classic SDWAY at its best

Looks like my list here isn't up to date either, honestly didn't expect my opinion to have changed so much since then, well other than my top ten I guess
25. Decoy For a Dognapper -3 24. Never Ape and Ape Man -2 23. Scooby's Night With a Frozen Fright +2 22. Scooby Doo and a Mummy Too -1 21. Hassle in the Castle -3 20. That's Snow Ghost -3 19. A Tiki Scare is No Fair = 18. Foul Play in Funland +2 17. Mine Your Own Business -1 16. What a Night For a Knight -2 15. Jeepers It's the Creeper = 14. Mystery Mask Mix Up +10 13. A Gaggle of Galloping Ghosts -2 12. Don't Fool With a Phantom +1 11. Go Away Ghost Ship +1 10. Who's Afraid of the Big Bad Werewolf = 9. Bedlam In The Bigtop = 8. A Clue For Scooby Doo = 7. Which Witch is Which = 6. Spooky Space Kook = 5. A Night of Fright is No Delight -3 4. Haunted House Hang Up +1 3. The Backstage Rage +1 2. Nowhere to Hyde +1 1. What the Hex Going On =
By far the biggest movement is Mystery Mask Mix Up going way up. I've just really taken a liking to the episode. I just have so much fun with the episode, even if there are some obvious issues with it

Seems like Mystery Mask Mix Up has gained a lot of favor if only based on the three list updates lol Honestly, I enjoy it so much now that it's definitely verging on an all-time classic. Also amazing that it's ahead of "Jeepers it's the Creeper" on all 3 of our lists - an episode that I find majorly overrated by many fans.

It's definitely on the verge for me now as well, if not already there. I think the chase scene in the episode may be one of the best moments of the entire franchise for me at this point. And I love Jeepers It's The Creeper also, but yeah, I could see it being called overrated when so many people would consider it the most iconic episode. We all are definitely in the minority of preferring Mystery Mask Mix Up over it, but I feel pretty confident in sticking with my stance on that one
