Holy crap it made a reference to the SCUM Manifesto written by Val Solanas who is incidently most famous for trying to kill Andy Warhol. Dear god I love this show.

Man, this episode was a sick bit of fun! They turned the entire Scooby Doo gang into a pack of psychos!

Ted (Fred) = Ted Bundy/Charles Manson/David Koresh
Patty (Daphne) = Patty Hearst
Val (Velma) = Valerie Solanis
Sonny (Shaggy) = Son of Sam
Groovy (Scooby) = Harvey, the dog Son of Sam claimed spoke to him

Toss in Doc's plans to create an army of reanimated corpses, Brock's fucked up spirit journey, the murder of Hank and Dean and the reveal of the clone farm and you've got one disturbingly funny episode.

Excellent Observation, I made the connection with Son of Sam and Patty Hearst but now that you point it out, the others are obvious...

Thanks!

Solanis was a radical, and I mean radical, feminist. She wrote the SCUM (Society for Cutting Up Men) Manifesto which called for the eradication of all men. Val's lines regarding men are near verbatim quotes from SCUM.

She is most famous for having shot the artist Andy Warhol.

Glad you made those connections, i guess sometimes you have to step outside of the box and utilize your brain to get the full effect of each episode. By the way, did you feel that V-Stein had the character resemblance of the trained zombie from Day of the Dead. Good on ya Mr. Noy for making those references, i wouldn't have thought of that until you said something. Kick Ass!

Thanks Gothicoyne. In answer to your question, I don't know if V-Stein is a reference to Day of the Dead or not but if there are any Romero fans on this site you can be sure they'll let us know.
