Trivia[]
Long John was most likely from some unspecified point in the future, like Scared Stiff and Fangster.
If his face is any indication Long John's physical nature is that of the undead. Possibly a zombie.The name "Long John" is taken from the fictional peglegged pirate Jong John Silver from the classic pirate novel "Treasure Island". "Scarechrome" is a portmanteu of the words "Scarecrow" and "Chrome" due to the recurring futuristic element that permeates the visual appearance of most of the show's antagonists,
