I did Haunted Carnival awhile ago but I wanted to see this one facing Haunted Island. Haunted Island does seem fresh with ship and the Island scenes at night but Carnival has the farewell sentimentality with Van Dyke giving his real voice and delivering funny lines. I think Scooby fans won't be the most happy with the ending of Haunted Island whereas Haunted Carnival did have the more Scooby ending.

I'm going with the Haunted Carnival. Has a lot more going for it.
Haunted Island is placed in between The Loch Ness Mess and the Haunted Showboat. The Loch Ness Mess absolutely destroys Haunted Island in terms of the Globetrotters appearance as well as the haunted house part. But Haunted Island still has the boat scene which is really good. Unfortunately, the Haunted Showboat outdid that one as well with that setting. The only thing left is the basketball game, which... I kinda felt like was filler. Overall a good episode but yeah others are better
Haunted Carnival was a fantastic season finale. I prefer it over Foul Play in Funland, even if that episode is "objectively" a better done episode. I actually love the bright setting of the Haunted Carnival. It just makes for a fun watch. The humor is also on point here with a fantastic performance from Dick Van Dyke

I personally like The Mystery of Haunted Island better, just because I really enjoyed the haunted house part and the globetrotters felt like they flawlessly fit in with the Scooby gang. Haunted Carnival is also an incredible episode, but to be honest, my nostalgia for "The Mystery of Haunted Island" (it was one of the first Scooby episodes I ever saw as a kid) makes it come out on top for me.

The Haunted Carnival. The gimmick is too fun for it not to be my favorite.

I've always loved the Globetrotters episodes and this one is no exception. In fact, it may even be my favourite of the three so I'll have to give it to Haunted Island!

If the Haunted Carnival episode was set at night then it may have ranked better but there's absolutely no spooky atmosphere, as it stands.
"Haunted Island" doesn't have much direction but I do love a good few of the creepy goings on - both on the boat and on the Island. It wins by a great distance!

Mystery of Haunted Island is definitely a much stronger episode. The Haunted Carnival drags on for forever imo
