Writer’s Pick: Top 5 Supernatural Episodes on the Road So Far

Published

on

Supernatural fans rejoice! Our favorite monster hunting brothers, Sam and Dean and their besties Cass and Crowley are at it again for another season. That’s right Winchesterphiles, Supernatural was renewed for season 13! Lucky thirteen and in celebration, I have recruited a few iHorror authors/superfans to give us some insight on their favorite episodes from seasons 1-12.

I had trouble narrowing down to one favorite on this list, so I’m going to take up two spots. I love Supernatural. I have watched this show since the pilot aired in 2005. I can remember stumbling across it one night five minutes into the show. I took one look at baby and I’ve never looked back.

Yellow Fever S04E06

In this episode, a ghost sickness is infecting the living, causing fear and paranoia until the infected dies. The tell-tale signs include being afraid of tiny Chihuahuas and scratching the skin off their arms. Dean ends up contracting the illness and fun and silliness ensue as they try to find a cure.

I love when the Winchesters get silly. Just like with X-files, there’s a linear mythology, but sprinkled in are these wonderful one-offs that lighten everything up.

There’s one scene that became a meme where Dean loses his shit when a cat jumps out of a locker: gold.Top all of this with the little nugget of Dean lip-syncing to Eye of the Tiger and you got yourself one hell of an episode.

 

Fan Fiction S10E05 

One of my favorites of all time, the show literally could have ended with this episode and I would have been sad to see them go but happy with where it ended. The boys hit the road for a suspected case when they end up at a high school putting on a musical…Supernatural the Musical. Complete with Baby, Sam, Dean, Cass, Bobby and more, this musical in itself is amazing.

If someone made an actual stage musical out of this episode, I would buy a first row seat and sing along…loudly and obnoxiously. Do not miss this episode. Go, watch it now and then come back so we can sing together.

Kelly McNeely’s Picks

Kelly is picking two on this list. Here’s what she had to say:

Mystery Spot S03E11

“My favorite Supernatural episode is S03E11, Mystery Spot. Aside from being one of the most quotable episodes of the series, it’s both hilarious and heartbreaking. In this especially dark version of Groundhog Day, no matter what the bothers do, Dean will always die. Sam’s attempts to stop it are an exercise in futility that shows him the gravity of their overall situation.”

Weekend at Bobby’s S06E04

“Full disclosure, I love Bobby. There something about that straight-talkin’ curmudgeon that just speaks to me. This is one of my favorite episodes for the simple reason that we finally see what the Hell that man does all day. Hint: he does a lot.”

“When you see his dedication to helping all the hunters (aside from Sam and Dean), you gain a newfound appreciation for his vast knowledge and well-crafted skill. There’s perfect comedic timing throughout the episode and it’s a really wonderful opportunity for Jim Beaver to take center stage and just own it.”

Ina Creekbaum’s Pick

 Asylum S01E10

“Season 1 is my favorite season. So many great episodes to pick from! One of my favorites is Asylum because it had a good story, great creep factor and kept me pulled in the whole time!! I really enjoy ghost stories and this one has everything you need. Sam and Dean go to an abandoned asylum and in the process help a young couple that are trapped inside.”

“They learn that the head doctor was in fact evil and cruel. He subjected his patients to horrible experiments until they revolted. His body was never found but the local legend states that the ghosts wander the halls and will drive anyone that stays overnight to madness!! Dean and Sam search for the body of the doctor so they can burn the remains to put an end to the horror of the asylum.”

“Do they find the doctor? Are they driven mad? Do they save the young couple? I could tell you…but that wouldn’t be as much fun as watching!! Enjoy!!”

This is just a small list in comparison to the insane number of great episodes. If you need more, Supernatural streams seasons 1-11 free on Netflix. Season 12 returns January 26th on the the CW.

The Top-Searched Free Horror/Action Movies on Tubi This Week

Published

on

The free streaming service Tubi is a great place to scroll when you’re unsure what to watch. They are not sponsored or affiliated with iHorror. Still, we really appreciate their library because it’s so robust and has many obscure horror movies so rare you can’t find them anywhere in the wild except, if you’re lucky, in a moist cardboard box at a yard sale. Other than Tubi, where else are you going to find Nightwish (1990), Spookies (1986), or The Power (1984)?

We take a look at the most searched horror titles on the platform this week, hopefully, to save you some time in your endeavor to find something free to watch on Tubi.

Interestingly at the top of the list is one of the most polarizing sequels ever made, the female-led Ghostbusters reboot from 2016. Perhaps viewers have seen the latest sequel Frozen Empire and are curious about this franchise anomaly. They will be happy to know it’s not as bad as some think and is genuinely funny in spots.

So take a look at the list below and tell us if you are interested in any of them this weekend.

Published

on

Believe it or not, Mattel’s Monster High doll brand has an immense following with both young and not-so-young collectors. 

In that same vein, the fan base for The Addams Family is also very large. Now, the two are collaborating to create a line of collectible dolls that celebrate both worlds and what they have created is a combination of fashion dolls and goth fantasy. Forget Barbie, these ladies know who they are.

The dolls are based on Morticia and Wednesday Addams from the 2019 Addams Family animated movie. 

As with any niche collectibles these aren’t cheap they bring with them a $90 price tag, but it’s an investment as a lot of these toys become more valuable over time. 

“There goes the neighborhood. Meet the Addams Family’s ghoulishly glamorous mother-daughter duo with a Monster High twist. Inspired by the animated movie and clad in spiderweb lace and skull prints, the Morticia and Wednesday Addams Skullector doll two-pack makes for a gift that’s so macabre, it’s downright pathological.”

1994’s ‘The Crow’ Coming Back to Theaters for A New Special Engagement

Published

on

The Crow

Cinemark recently announced that they will be bringing The Crow back from the dead once again. This announcement comes just in time for the film’s 30th anniversary. Cinemark will be playing The Crow in select theaters on May 29th and 30th.

For those unaware, The Crow is a fantastic film based on the gritty graphic novel by James O’Barr. Widely considered one of the best films of the 90s, The Crow’s lifespan was cut short when Brandon Lee died of an accidental on set shooting.

The official synapsis of the film is as follows. “The modern-gothic original that entranced audiences and critics alike, The Crow tells the tale of a young musician brutally murdered alongside his beloved fiancée, only to be risen from the grave by a mysterious crow. Seeking revenge, he battles a criminal underground that must answer for its crimes. Adapted from the comic book saga of the same name, this action-packed thriller from director Alex Proyas (Dark City) features hypnotic style, dazzling visuals, and a soulful performance by the late Brandon Lee.”

The Crow

The timing of this release couldn’t be better. As a new generation of fans eagerly awaits the release of The Crow remake, they can now see the classic film in all of its glory. As much as we love Bill Skarsgard (IT), there is something timeless in Brandon Lee’s performance in the film.

This theatrical release is part of the Scream Greats series. This is a collaboration between Paramount Scares and Fangoria to bring audiences some of the best classic horror films. So far, they are doing a fantastic job.

That’s all the information we have at this time. Make sure to check back here for more news and updates.
