Synopsis[]

German siblings Gunther and Uta come to live in Gloom Manor for a while, following their nasty run-in with a witch living in a gingerbread house. However, they don't find Ruby and the gang much better, and are determined to escape. They just don't realize whatever they do delights everyone else.

Opening Sketch[]

Boo-Boo tries to pull pranks on everyone, but Misery foils his efforts.

Closing Sketch[]

Ruby and Scaredy Bat make a gingerbread house.

Trivia[]

  • While this isn’t Boo-Boo’s final appearance in the series, the episode’s opening sketch “Secret Shutterbug” is the last time we ever get to hear him talk on the show.
  • Despite being one-off characters, Gunther and Uta make one last appearance in "Last Train to Gloomsville" where they are seen wolfing a huge plate of sausages when Ruby asks them if they've seen Poe.
  • The scene where Frank and Len scream in the mirror while brushing their teeth is possibly a reference to the 1990 film Home Alone.
  • This episode is a loosely-based spoof of "Hansel and Gretel".
