But who cares about some witch and her ghost-the Hex Girls are here!įred and Shaggy thought the same when they first stumbled upon the trio, eyes wide and mouths agape in the way of enchanted cartoon men.

It all blurs together in a childhood haze of VHS tapes and Cartoon Network marathons, but it’s quintessential: the Mystery Gang investigates a haunted colonial town, sees eponymous witch’s ghost, and in between butter-churning and autumnal festivity, save the day.

I’m not sure when I first watched the direct-to-video movie Scooby-Doo and the Witch’s Ghost in which they first appeared.

And October or not, their lyrics swirl around in my head: I’m a Hex Girl, and I’m gonna put a spell on you. I’ve since thought about dressing up as the band as a whole, but have never managed to lasso two friends into completing the trifecta. The errand was abandoned for some reason or another-I was just a plain old witch instead. There’s an image in my memory of me and my mom in the aisles of an Oak Park Target, trying to orchestrate a costume for Thorn, the lead singer.

I can see myself watching them in the TV room of my childhood home, the cartoon stretching across the arched screen of the black box, the palms of my hands getting itchy from resting on the carpet. They appear in my memory, thrashing and jewel-toned, spiky-haired and sneering. I can’t seem to get through one October without remembering the Hex Girls.
