Supernatural on Halloween: 5 scariest episodes to watch this year
By Monita Mohan
It’s the last time we’ll hunt with the Winchester brothers. So why not celebrate the show’s legacy by marathoning the scariest Supernatural episodes for Halloween?
This year, we’ll have to carry on without our favourite wayward sons. Supernatural will be concluding its 15-year run in 2020. And what better way to commemorate the enduring legacy of this Eric Kripke show than to celebrate a Supernatural Halloween.
As the adventures of Sam (Jared Padalecki) and Dean Winchester (Jensen Ackles) come to an end, fans will be looking for new ways to celebrate the beloved show. Since this year will be the last time new episodes will air during the scariest holiday season of the year, we have five episodes that are perfect for the occasion.
For a show titled Supernatural, there haven’t been quite as many scares as there has been drama and everything else. But the few times this CW show leaned into the horror genre, they pulled out all the stops.
So, grab your torches, your packets of salt, and brush up on your demon exorcism spells, as we hunt down the five scariest episodes to celebrate Supernatural on Halloween.
5. Scariest Halloween episodes: Family Remains (Season 4, Episode 11)
‘Family Remains’ was the second time that the antagonists weren’t supernatural creatures. When Sam and Dean investigate the mysterious death of a man inside a locked room, they realize that they’re going to need more than salt circles to save the day.
The evil that’s haunting the Carters—new homeowners—lives inside the walls. Quite literally, since there are children trapped inside the walls. The brothers are faced with the worst of humanity. In the words of Dean ‘Humans, man!’. We couldn’t agree more.
The scariest part of the episode is how it portrays that evil exists in the real world. The story is virtually ripped from actual headlines, which makes ‘Family Remains’ more disturbing than scary to watch Supernatural on Halloween.
