A really fun episode.
The gang ends up in Canada and decides to visit Bottomless Lake. However there is nobody else around because that were all scared away by the beast of the lake.
There is quite a bit to enjoy about this episode. The humor with Shaggy and Scooby is especially good as there are some very good comedic moments here. Even Scooby's facial reactions during some of these comedic moments made me smile. Even the wrap of who done it and why had some very good slapstick in it, which was easily enhanced because of some pretty good limited animation that let you see what was going on in Scooby's mind. The closing gag is also excellent. This is also a very atmospheric episode. The Candana setting really works to this episode's advantage. The background art here is especially fantastic. The trees and mountains against a very dark blue sky gives this episode an effectively creepy and unique feel. The underground area is also wonderfully atmospheric.
Unfortunately the monster here feels quite generic and doesn't really stand out from many of the other monsters we have met. The mystery is also pretty easy to solve as there are so few suspects.
All in all this is a really fun episode, even if the monster isn't that memorable.
