Overview
Slo Mo is a zombie student who temporarily boosts his intelligence to impress Ghoulia Yelps, learning that his true self is what matters.
Slowman "Slo Mo" Mortavitch conjures up a new IQ to try and impress Ghoulia, but realizes too late that he already holds the key to her un-dead heart.
Slo Mo admires Ghoulia but feels too unintelligent for her. With help from Lagoona and Cleo, he drinks an intelligence potion.
The potion makes Slo Mo arrogant; he excels at chess and debate but upsets Ghoulia by criticizing her work.

Notes & Trivia
Production details, errors, and continuity notes from the webisode featuring Slo Mo.
- This is one of the three webisodes first released as an extra on the "Ghouls Rule" DVD on October 9, 2012. It received a place in the regular webisode lineup on July 25, 2013.
- The rarely seen laboratory assistant is among the debate's audience. His only other appearance is in "Hatch Me If You Can".
- The webisode's spelling of "Slow Moe" over "Slo Mo" is a result of the title having been established well before Slo Mo's name was trademarked and a spelling settled on.
- Rotter hosts a math class. There's three teachers at Monster High who teach math, and he's none of them. His class is Dead Languages and he may help out as referee during sport matches, but math is a new one and unlikely.
- Slo Mo, and Monster High zombies in general, is extremely smart. Not as smart as Ghoulia, but smart, but the webisode treats him like he's normally not-smart. Irony has it that the Monster High fact posted on Twitter just a day before this webisode's release was about Slo Mo's impressive intelligence.
- The webisode treats Zombie speak as a sign of lacking intelligence, whereas Ghoulia Yelps's "Basic" diary makes it a point that the language is merely a result of zombies having a different build.
- For that matter, his face and stance shouldn't change from an intelligence-potion either.
- Slo Mo's response during the debate may sound impressive, but any with basic knowledge of debating would not be intimidated. He uses an argumentum ad hominem method of debating, which is considered an informal fallacy and an irrelevance.
- Mr. Where oversees the debate like he previously did in "Fear-A-Mid Power".
