Fright Nights…Reaper and Supernatural deliver
Once upon a time, Halloween was a “holiday” for kids in costumes and rotting teeth. Nowadays, it’s evolved into a time for sinister movies (i.e. Saw IV) and eerily-themed episodes on TV. Last night, Reaper took its usual tongue-in-cheek approach to the devil’s least-favorite day—sending all of his minions on vacation, and saddling Sam & Co. with a wise-cracking con artist trapped in a snowglobe. Trusting the bad guy nearly got Sam and Sock fed to “the butcher.” Tomorrow, the laughs will be less frequent, as Supernatural explores the “real” Grimms Fairy Tales…you know, where things certainly don’t end “happily ever after.” Even the promo for this hour of haunted bedtime stories looks freaky! If you like a good scare, this show’s for you. In the midst of this Halloween mystery-solving, Sam finds time to summon the Crossroads Demon, played this time by Jared Padalecki’s real life girlfriend, Sandra McCoy. The two met filming the horror flick, Cry Wolf, two years ago and have been together ever since. Sam tries to double-cross her while bargaining for Dean’s life…and let’s just say, the ending will unnerve you!
