10 Worst Buffy The Vampire Slayer Episodes

10. Inca Mummy Girl (Season 2, Episode 4)

Season 2 has a lot going for it. There's a great season arc, plenty of wicked standalone episodes, and the high school setting has that classic Buffy feel. There are, however, some low points, one of which is ‘Inca Mummy Girl’.

It’s pretty intriguing to begin with. There’s a creepy museum, a dead mummy, and plenty of mystery. But things start to get a little ridiculous when an exchange student has the life sucked out of him by an undead mummy.

Xander then becomes romantically involved with the now youthful and attractive-looking mummy. Yet there isn’t much tension because you know their relationship isn’t going to go anywhere. And to make matters worse, the mummy’s guardian keeps cropping up. Far from being dramatic, these moments are laughably stupid.

Still, ‘Inca Mummy Girl’ isn't terrible. It’s pretty entertaining once you accept how ridiculous it is. And the introduction of Oz is a great moment even if the rest of the story is silly.
