Tinman

Season 9, Episode 15

The later times of Supernatural are known for losing their scary quality. Instead of having many terrible attributes, there would be only one or two episodes per season that send chills through audiences. One of the episodes comes in Supernatural Season 9, Episode 15 “Thinman.” The episode based its premise on the viral story of “Slenderman,” The faceless tall man who often captivates, frightens and disorients his victims. Supernatural Taking the idea that Slenderman is a made-up internet meme and running with it, posed the terrifying question of what if Slenderman is real.

Often in SupernaturalIt’s not the episodes with scary supernatural beings that are scary – it’s when people are the actual perpetrators of the horrible acts. This is the case in “Thinman” as the mysterious being who killed three people including the sheriff is actually two people working together to kill people who wronged them in some way. This episode really has some gruesome and scary elements, But its connection to the real-life tragedy of the Slenderman murders and the cost of lying publicly can take on a person is the real horror.

Roadkill

Season 2, Episode 16

“Roadkill” has all the makings of a great horror film in just 40 minutes. There is a creepy ghost that is hunting a beautiful woman, Molly (Tricia Helfer), on the side of a highway in Nevada. This episode of Supernatural Molly is seen being rescued on the side of the highway by Sam and Dean who promise to help Molly find her husband who has gone missing from their car. “Roadkill” expertly implements classic slasher movie elements, But like most things in SupernaturalNot all is what it seems.

Although it is still the evil ghost who tries to speed up the guts of his victim, the end of the episode is worth the journey. Sam and Dean reveal to Molly that she was the one to hit and kill the evil ghost Jonah Greeley 15 years earlier And that every year on the anniversary of his death she appears and he chases her, as she was also killed in the car wreck. It’s a heartbreaking ending, but Sam and Dean trying to help Molly find peace is a wonderful ending.

Everyone loves a clown

Season 2, Episode 2

There is a reason why clowns are so often used to cause terror in haunted houses and in horror media, and Supernatural Proves that in the season 2 episode “Everybody Loves a Clown.” This episode is important for many reasons in Supernatural Know, because this is the first time audiences are introduced to Ellen and Jo Harvelle for the first time. Moreover, it was the first time audiences had to see Sam truly afraid of something – clowns.

It’s a running gag throughout the rest of the series, but seeing Sam absolutely about to lose his cool in an elevator with a creepy murderous clown is equal parts hilarious and terrifying. “Everybody Loves a Clown” is a downright gruesome episode, with Sam and Dean learn that a Hindu creature called a Rakshasa is pretending to be a clown in a circus.

All this paired with the icky black ectoplasm seen throughout the episode is enough to send shivers down anyone’s spine. While not the most outright terrifying episode, “No Exit” certainly plays on the fears of young single women.

The bender

Season 1, Episode 15

“The Benders” is a pretty important episode of Supernatural Because it was the first time that the “monster of the week” was not a monster, but a real person – which is much more terrifying. There’s something to be said for how terrifying things like vampires and werewolves can be, especially in SupernaturalBut it seems that more often than not, it’s the episodes where humans are the real monsters that are the most terrifying. Supernatural Proved that early with their 15th episode “The Benders.”

Audiences learn that the title of the episode “The Benders” actually refers to a family that kidnaps and then hunts humans for sport. Not only that, but the family also consumes their prey – as in hunting and then the humans kidnap them.

Provenance

Season 1, Episode 19

While fans of Supernatural may remember “Provenance” as the episode that introduced Sam Winchester’s first love interest after the death of Jessica in the Supernatural pilot, as well as when Sam delivered the iconic line, – Who doesn’t have salt? Low-sodium freaks!” This episode is very creepy. The episode’s plot sees multiple people murdered after acquiring an old painting. What’s particularly creepy about this episode is that Sam and Dean burn the painting, thinking it is what is tying the murderous ghost to the real world; However, in true horror movie fashion, the painting magically reappears the next day.

The Winchester brothers believe that the murderous ghost is the father depicted in the painting, as his facial features keep changing in the painting, although it is later revealed that it was the adopted daughter who was the one who killed her entire family and blamed It on her adoptive father. The showdown between the murderous little girl and Sam is super entertaining, and it’s only heightened by Dean rushing to burn a doll that still has some of the little girl’s hair on it. If anything, this episode will keep audiences away from any antique art shows for a while.

Bloody Mary

Season 1, Episode 5

In the episode, anyone who conjures the spirit of SupernaturalHis “Bloody Mary” bleeds from their eyes when they are confronted with the fact that they are responsible for someone’s death. While the murders are gory and have great direction with mirrors, that’s not the scariest aspect of the episode.

The scariest part of “Bloody Mary” comes at the end of the episode when Sam is used as bait to defeat the spirit. Dean smashes the mirror in which Mary appeared, but she crawls out of the mirror, Which is mentioned by The Exorcist And is a skin-crawling picture. All the mirrors that surround Mary after she climbs out of the mirror force her to see herself as a murderer and make her destroy herself. This paired with the reveal that Sam had a premonition about Jess’ death added to the overall narrative which Supernatural was trying to tell.

Family remains

Season 4, Episode 11

“Family Matters” has gone down as one of the most awful episodes ever SupernaturalAnd it is definitely worth watching if someone is looking for an episode that is indifferent to the fact that it scares and will mess with the brain. “Family Matters” may be compared with The ConjuringBut somehow, scary.

Karns has a staff in front of his hand, to which he has attached a hook, so that he can kill his victims. The scenes where the ghost stalks and then kills its prey are disturbing. Not only is the opening scene where a college boy named Rich is found murdered and hanging upside down scary, but the worst murder is not even seen on screen.

When the Reverend’s daughter Lori returns to her dorm room at night she goes to bed without turning on the light so she won’t wake her roommate. But when she wakes up in the morning, Lori’s roommate is dead and the words – Aren’t you glad that you didn’t light the candle? are written in blood on the wall. The scene is more creepy and will haunt audiences as they go to bed. That paired with the creepy visuals of The Hook Man makes this an all-time scariest episode of Supernatural.

Scarecrow

Season 1, Episode 11

“Scarecrow” is just one example of Supernatural Showing pagan gods as real and requiring human sacrifice. The scarecrow seen in the episode is exactly what Dean calls it –“Bird.” But it is the sickle in his hand that is feared more than anything. When Dean learns that the townspeople break down one visiting couple’s car a year and “call” them up before sending them on their way so that their car will break down just outside the orchard where the Scarecrow will find and kill them.

After Dean helps the pair escape, the townspeople decide to use him as the victim, even though Dean knows what needs to be done to take down the Vanir, aka the Scarecrow. The image of the Scarecrow missing from his perch is enough to send shivers down anyone’s spine, But the image of the sickle killing two of the townspeople could put a damper on some people’s apple picking plans. Supernatural Has a bunch of scary episodes, but if someone is not looking for an hour-long film, some options will still give people a scare during the Halloween season.
