This episode captures the feel of after school realism alongside nineties horror TV mood. Definitely part of the first season awkwardness, but it also makes it light viewing for when you don't feel like dealing with something that really engages your emotions. Snyder is a whole lot creepier in this episode, with the diffuse auditorium lighting and artificial backstage backlighting and direct references to the demise of his predecessor. It would have been interesting to have seen them keep that up. That's it! I want a creepy gothic Vampire Slayer show set in the misty marshes of either the late Middle Ages Europe, or the regency era English countryside with the Scoobie humor replaced with straight delivery of edgy pitch black humor.
