When they were kids, Sam and Dean’s mom was killed by a demon. Their dad became obsessed with the occult and tracking down his wife’s killer. Now their father has disappeared, and the boys have taken to the road on their own to continue his work and find their missing dad.
Presently still going strong into its fourth season, the show cleverly preys on the viewer’s childhood fear of all of those ghost legends known to everyone: Bloody Mary, the haunted stretch of road, etc. At times silly, it’s undoubtedly a guilty pleasure.
