Supernatural has had a wide array of memorable villains over the years. In fact, we here at BuddyTV are currently putting together a personality quiz that will allow you to discover which of the show's baddies you most resemble. The current big bad of the Supernatural universe is Lilith, who came in after Azazel bit the dust and started stirring up all sorts of trouble for the Winchesters. We already know that Lilith is one extremely scary little girl, but is it possible there's a demon out there who's even more deadly and dangerous?
Entertainment Weekly's Michael Ausiello recently revealed that a new demon will soon be terrorizing the Winchesters. Not only is he extremely powerful, but he may be scary enough to make Lilith shake in her boots.

Writer Ben Edlund had quite the impressive career even before he joined Supernatural in its second season. He's perhaps most famous for creating the character of The Tick, who first appeared in comic books before spinning off into both an animated and live action series. He moved on to write two episodes of Joss Whedon's late, great Firefly, and then teamed up with the creator again when he joined the writing staff of Angel. Edlund wrote many episodes, but his most classic may be "Smile Time," which found Angel turning into a puppet. After short stints writing for shows like Point Pleasant and The Venture Bros., he started making his mark on Supernatural with the season 2 episode "Simon Said." Since then he's written many of the funnier episodes of the series, including last night's "Monster Movie."
There are some Supernatural fans out there who aren't fans of Edlund's work, but I think you'd have to be insane not to praise this amazing writer.

The Winchester brothers on Supernatural know to be careful when choosing their demon-hunting outfits. They have to be prepared to be doused in demon blood, tossed around by a monster or dragged off to Hell at any given moment. With all the beasts and baddies they've slayed over the years, it's a wonder Dean has yet to lose the trusty amulet he keeps around his neck.
Not only is the necklace the perfect complement to Dean's multi-layered hunting attire, but it also has sentimental value. In season 3 of Supernatural, it was revealed that Dean's little brother Sam gave him the necklace as a Christmas gift when they were kids. It's rare when the origins of an accessory bring a tear to the eye, but from that moment on the amulet represented the everlasting bond between the Winchesters. Dean's necklace is the rare fashion statement that's bad-ass, stylish and imbued with meaning all at the same time.

Last week's episode of Supernatural contained plenty of juicy conflict between the Winchester brothers. After Dean discovered his brother's late-night dalliances with Ruby, he punched Sammy twice in the face and spent the remainder of the episode arguing with him about right and wrong. After seeing nice guy Jack turn from a loving husband into a flesh-eating Rugaru, Sam decided to stop using his powers altogether. He may be able to help people with them, but sometimes it's better not to play with fire.
Tonight's episode of Supernatural is a black-and-white ode to the monster movies of the 1930s. If you've ever longed to see Dracula escape from the Winchesters on a motorized scooter, now's your chance.

I love any television show that isn't afraid to break the rules and try something completely outside the box. The X-Files and Buffy the Vampire Slayer always took plenty of creative risks, and Supernatural has followed in their footsteps by subverting its formula whenever possible. This week's episode, entitled "Monster Movie," shakes things up yet again by bringing the Winchesters face to face with some of Hollywood's most famous creatures. The brothers battle Dracula, a wolf man and a mummy in the special black-and-white installment, which also features a sweeping orchestral score that would fit perfectly in a movie from the 1930s.
To get fans ready for Thursday's new Supernatural, we have three exciting clips from the episode.

Last night's episode of Supernatural nicely tied together the monster of the week storyline with the ongoing struggle between the Winchester brothers. Dean's disgust with Sam's demonic mojo has been growing since season 1, but only after Castiel sent him back in time did he realize how dangerous his brother could become. Though Sammy may be keeping secrets and possibly sleeping with Ruby (more on that in a bit), I found myself siding with him whenever Dean attacked him. Sam really is trying to do the right thing, and though he may end up in a dark place eventually, right now his powers are actually helping people. Is it wise for him to stop now and follow Dean's orders, or should he go ahead and dabble in darkness?

Last week's episode of Supernatural dove deep into the show's mythology to answer all sorts of questions we had been pondering for years. The biggest shocker was the reveal that Mary came from a family of hunters, and that she basically sold Sam to the Yellow-Eyed Demon to bring John back to life. Dean also learned that the YED has bigger plans for Sam than making him the leader of a demon army. Castiel wants Dean to stop his brother from going to the dark side, otherwise the angel will take care of the younger Winchester himself.
On tonight's episode of Supernatural, the brothers team up to stop a man from transforming into a flesh-eating monster. Who's feeling hungry?

When I wrote the preview for last week's Supernatural episode, "In the Beginning," the Internet nearly exploded after I reported that Sam would only appear on screen for about 45 seconds. Fans of Jared Padalecki almost took to the streets in protest, but they needn't worry, because the younger Winchester looks to play a major role in tomorrow night's episode, which is entitled "Metamorphosis." We have some pictures and a clip from the installment, and all of them feature plenty of Sam. "Metamorphosis" looks to be less mythology-heavy than "In the Beginning," but it'll certainly feature enough brotherly conflict to make fans happy.
