This time, we're pointing out all the weird things we loved in THE DARK RIDER, the story of an upper class family being murdered, possibly by a headless ghost! Does that sound like a Scooby Doo episode? Because it is! And that's not all we talk about including creepy twins, firedancing, and English civil war reenactments gone horribly wrong. This episode is a keeper.
