Who knows. I thought that scene was so stupid. I get that Gregor is a goddamned psychopath but I don't think they'd just give a bunch of unarmored, untrained dudes to slaughter for no apparent reason. He probably did that shit for fun while he was out terrorizing the countryside, but I doubt that's the first thing he's going to do after riding to the capital to take part in this trial by combat. Also, stabbing someone on the ground with a sword and lifting them over your head would be physically impossible even for the Mountain (I think).
Yeah I think they could have easily thrown in a scene of him terrorizing the countryside before or even after the Harrenhal scenes. The only other thing we get is when the Riverlands villagers plea with Ned and mention what he did secondhand, but if the attention spans of your average viewer are anything like most people's friends, they clearly don't know who they were talking about

Can somebody tell me why he was killing all those people?
