Supernatural

What better way to celebrate Halloween than with the most iconic monster-hunting brothers around, Sam and Dean Winchester? All 15 seasons are streaming on Netflix, meaning more than 300 episodes are available to watch at a moment’s notice.

Basically, any episode of the show would qualify as a “Halloween” watch since they deal with monsters, demons, ghouls, and more, but there is one episode that actually takes place on Halloween, the season 4 episode “It’s The Great Pumpkin, Sam Winchester.”

Beyond that, you could restart the show from the beginning, or you can pick and choose your favorite episodes to revisit. Plenty of creepy standalone episodes don’t necessarily require you to start from the beginning, particularly in the early seasons.

“Bloody Mary” in season 1 is a classic, and fans love the “Ghostfacers” episodes. If you’re unfamiliar with Supernatural, the long-running supernatural horror show follows monster-hunting brothers Sam and Dean as they kill things that go bump in the night to protect people.

The show starts with a simple premise: Sam and Dean try to find their dad after he goes missing after a hunting trip. On the way, they encounter plenty of terrifying creatures, many of which are inspired by urban legends. But as the show progresses, it grows in scale and becomes a literal battle between Heaven and Hell.

If you want even more of this iconic franchise, you can also check out the spinoff series The Winchesters on Max.

VERDICT: Watch
