I just watched. I think it is odd that my word for the episode was 'cute'. It was fun, not really scary or creepy,a tad too gory. I was hoping for a little more substance.
That's disturbing. You're emotionally scarred and will end up badly.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Beth, I hear what you're saying, and several others have mentioned something similar.
I think this is one of the scripts they had mostly ready before the strike but couldn't finish. They'd also lined up the actors from Hell House, and thought the fans would like the payoff of seeing what had happened to Ed and Harry since Sam sent them off to LA with a prank call pretending to be a producer, and Dean with an unrefrigerated tuna in their backseat. I know I loved that part, seeing HellHounds, redux.
Show has always been about the latest trends in horror films, as well as the familiar legends and lore. I think Cloverfield, in the vein of TBWP, prompted the use of the hand-helds and a single defined space. It could also be that not all the crew had been reassembled, and this shooting style gave them a little extra time to settle in.
For those unaware, JA said in his CTW interview that they gave the actors state of the art handheld videocams and pulled the crew out and let the actors go without rehearsal, blocking, or conventional lighting. He seemed to think the experience was worth the experiment. For one episode, particularly the GhostFacers one, I'm inclined to agree.
I do expect serious depth and drama for the remaining eps, though.

I think I am already in the mindset that the season is over. I knew when the strike was needed, that we would likely be seeing the end of the season. So, for me, these last four episodes are just the secret toy surprise inside. Ghostfacers wasn't my favorite episode, but I enjoyed it. It wasn't the worst episode so far in the series. My worst episodes of Supernatural are better than the best of any other series right now. YSPNMV
It has also been the pattern to hit us with a comedy before reaching for the drama, so I am fully expecting to be overwhelmed next week. Plus, we have the preview of JOHN!

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I thought this SPN vid was just amazing.

Because books.
That was gorgeous, Perkins. Although I'm a little confused by the additional not-SPN footage, it works so well. And the song could have been written for the show. Wow.

Art Crawl!!!
That was really good. Loved all the Dantesque and Gericaultesque additions.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Holy CRAP that vid was awesome. I might need to watch that fifty more times.

Next week's TV Guide's cover story is about TV's Sexiest Stars, and bless them, they give JP two big pictures, on pages 64-65. The paragraph underneath from Katie Cassidy (each star has a testimonial from a costar) is pretty much forgettable, but those pictures.... in the picture on the right, his arm has a vein showing that I just want to trace with my tongue. And the pictures make me regret yet again that Sam dresses in so many layers.
The two guys were apparently voted Sexiest Siblings, but the small picture TV Guide uses on page 58 doesn't show them to their best advantage.
