A fun episode.
In this episode the gang takes a trip to Italy. However they soon discover that there is a zombie gladiator roaming around. Before you can say Jinkies, the gang has another mystery on their hands.
There is a lot of fun to be had with this episode. The mystery is quite well done with multiple completely believable suspects. The villain is quite creepy and dangerous, actually putting our heroes in real danger instead of just scaring them. This makes the chase scenes here more suspenseful than the average Scooby chase scene. There is also a real sense of atmosphere here as Pompeii proves to be an excellent location for a Scooby mystery. This is especially true of the night scenes which have a delightfully creepy feel to them. The scene in the gladiator arena is especially effectively creepy.
The only real problem with this episode is that the humor often falls flat.
All in all this is definitely a fun episode.
