The gang returns from an uninspired fishing trip. They inadvertently stumble into an abandoned swamp, and get lost. They find a general store, and encounter a man who feeds them a story about a witch conjuring up a spell to bring back a zombie from the dead. The gang wants to meddle as usual to uncover the truth behind it all. This is an excellent episode. It's fun, creative, and has many silly laughs throughout. The zombie guy is very effective, and looks like a guy from The Goonies with how he is presented. The atmosphere is terrific in this one with some memorable chase scenes, and of course some terrific gags as well. I loved when Shaggy impersonates a witch to fool the Zombie with the help of Scooby. The card game and a scene involving Scooby and Jumping Beans are just three of many great gags throughout this episode. The witch is also quietly effective. I didn't enjoy her as much as I did the Zombie, but she was definitely cool. It's a cinch to predict the villain, but what do you expect from a Scooby episode?. I always enjoy the ride, no matter how predictable they are. This isn't Murder She Wrote, it's here for your entertainment, and it entertains like not many cartoons can. If you're a Scooby fan, you have no excuse not to see it. Its great stuff
P.S. The only thing I didn't like about this episode was that Scooby does a really bizarre laugh in this episode. I don't know why they did that, but it gave me the willies.
8.6/10
