Surprised by how much I enjoyed this episode. This really feels like SpongeBob's take on a Treehouse of Horror type tone with its humorous take on zombie movies. I think this episode is a good example of making something old feel new as while this episode has elements of Once Bitten and The Krabby Patty that Ate Bikini Bottom the direction they take it in is much different and a lot closer to how an actual Apocalypse movie would play out. Normally I really don't like the ridiculous expressions and gross-out humor but not only did they not bother me here they actually aided the episode the crazy expressions and gross-out actually have a purpose here since it's a monster movie episode. It's supposed to be bizarre and strange. It doesn't work in other episodes since it feels out of place and meaningless, but here it only adds to the parody. The rest of the episode has a great dosage of humor (Especially Bubble Bass' scene) and horror elements to make for a SpongeBob episode that I can see myself watching on Halloween.
9/10
I'm going to change this a bit. While I still find this one of the more solid season 11 episodes it does have some more mediocre elements hidden behind its presentation. While the episode has a great B movie feel when you get down to it the story feels too montage-y with big sections showing them turning into Krabby Patty people making SpongeBob trying to survive feel underdeveloped and short. And while I like the jokes their frequency could've been turned up a notch with some sections that drag a bit. I stand by all my compliments and it is still a good episode, just not a great one.
