A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Hm. I know there have been episodes of SPN that I was really glad I watched during the day because they would have given me nightmares if I'd seen them right before bed (alone in the house and dark out adding to the scariness, of course) but I can't remember what episodes those were, much less what specific moments were scary.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
The feral siblings under the house was the official scariest for me. It wasn't anything occult or extra-normal, it was just dirty old human meanness and warped-ness. There's a remove of sorts, you can tell yourself in some tiny safe sliver of your mind that it's fantasy, that's fake blood, that's CGI and lighting and prosthetics when it's ghosts and demons and vampires. Scary and metaphorical, and very affecting. But ultimately, there is a step away from reality.
Feral children? All too horribly real and possible. Still makes me shudder. It's why Missy is the very worst of the Benders. The men I can watch like Creature Feature, but Missy? Makes my skin crawl.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
What Beverly said.
I get scared of how sad Dean will get, what lengths he'll go to for Sam, and what lengths Sam will go to in order to "redeem" himself.
Also what ita ! said, with a strong side order of being very, very scared indeed when the boys' relationship is threatening to fracture. That hits me hard, even though I know the show won't go that way permanently.

Because books.
For me,
when the boys' relationship is threatening to fracture
that makes me what I would call worried and anxious, instead of scared. I think I'm just splitting hairs semantically, though. Show gives me constant anxiety.

A former co-worker of mine used to be a census taker. She once told me her supervisor's story about going to a ramshackle home wayyyyy out in the woods to deliver a questionaire and being paced by feral children in the underbrush to either side of the path on her walk back to her car. It was basically like one of the stalking scenes in The Hills Have Eyes, although the lady made it out safely.

Yikes.
For reasons that I won't go into, I'm now imagining Sam and Dean as Bert and Ernie, in that order.

The Winchesters had to deal with multiple Gods in season 1 or 2? Which episode was that?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
There's the apple god in the first two seasons, as well as Loki. I don't think they address multiple gods in one episode until S3, though, right?
