I actually enjoyed it for the creep factor, but the episode did require a large dose of handwavium to swallow the stupid. I wonder if they've been talking to the Heroes writers?
Oh! I know this one! 'Slaying entails certain sacrifices, blah blah blahbity blah, I'm so stuffy, gimme a scone.'

[NAFDA]. This is where we talk about the CW series Supernatural! Anything that's aired in the US on TV (including promos) is fair game. No spoilers though — if you post one by accident, an admin will delete it.

"What would it take to get your daughter to stop tweeting about this?"
I've done papers on urban legends. No way in hell does a horror show make a big deal about a dog licking someone's hand in a darkened room if it's actually the dog doing the licking.
I thought that is why the girl said Casper the pervy ghost.
Huh. I think they just made wincest definitely non-canon.
I missed something, didn't I?
When Sam was trying to explain the girls parentage to Dean, then Dean's realization was one of shock and "Gross!" Then Sam's reply was that the guy was a "monster."

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Oh Yeah I meant to go back and edit that. Last night I somehow didn't parse the "non", which kind of changes things a little.

For those who iTunes, the ep's up.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Wow. This has been one of the outright creepiest episodes.
Oh my God, for serious. I'm not usually scared by the show, but I was watching it late at night in an unfamiliar house in an unfamiliar city, and it creeped the goddamn hell out of me.

Yeah, it was. Which made me really happy, even if after the episode I stopped and went "Wait, that didn't really hold together or make any sense".

Gold standard for current horror theatrical releases, nu?

Jilli is me. Creeptastic, but not sure if it will holdup on rewatch.

Because books.
On rewatch there are definitely holes you can drive a truck through. All of which require liberal application of handwavium (the feral twins' advanced language skills, for sure, as well as correctly spelled graffiti) but it was still fun.
And I never mind Sam and Dean having to deal with horror that *isn't* supernatural, but in this case I thought they could have done more with it. How much of a monster do you have to be to torture people after years of abuse? How much of a monster do you have to be to enjoy it? How much of a monster are you if you do it to family?
