Summary

Aku leads Samurai Jack towards a graveyard where the undead do the evil shape shifter’s bidding.

Our Take

A solid horror-flavored outing that leans on atmosphere over plot, and mostly gets away with it. The graveyard setting gives the episode some genuinely creepy imagery, though the middle stretch repeats itself once the zombie threat is established. It picks up nicely when Aku finally gets hands-on, which is always fun. Worth a watch for the mood alone, just don’t expect much story.
