Trivia
- He is the very first monster of the Scooby-Doo franchise, first appearing in the very beginning.
- The scene in What a Night for a Knight where he loams over Scooby is in the Scooby-Doo, Where Are You? Season 1 intro.
- It's been a real mystery if the Black Knight Ghost really was Mystery Inc's very first mystery. In Monsters Unleashed, Fred declared that the Black Knight Ghost was their very first case. However, in the TV show A Pup Named Scooby-Doo, which shows that Scooby and his friends having solving mysteries since they were little, the first monster that they unmasked was the Green Goo Monster. Plus Chickenstien, a monster from that show is in the film too. Also in the 2009 live-action film Scooby-Doo! The Mystery Begins; the first mystery they solved in high school was a ghost which was their principal in disguise. Not to mention in What a Night For a Knight, Fred say; "It look like we have another mystery on our hands." It is possible that the Black Knight Ghost was one of their first cases. Or perhaps it references how What a Night for a Knight (his original appearance), was the first production of the Scooby-Doo franchise.
- There is a Lego version of the Black Knight Ghost, along with Lego versions of The Phantom and the Vampire from A Gaggle of Galloping Ghosts.
