The Fairy Tale Killer

When the Winchester brothers read on the newspaper about a psychotic killer in Maple Springs, New York, that seems to kill in the lunar cycle, they head to the city expecting to find a werewolf. They interview the survivor that tells that his two brothers were killed by a violent man acting like a wolf. While they are interviewing Dr. Garrison, another victim arrives in the hospital: Julie Watson was tracking with her husband Ken and they get lost in the woods. They are welcomed by a gentle old woman in her isolated house that out of the blue rips Ken with a knife. Julie sees also an eight year old girl in the window. Sam associates the murders to the "Three Little Pigs" and "Hansel and Gretel" fairy tales and sooner they try to save the victims of "Cinderella" and "Little Red Riding Hood". Further, they discover that the responsible for the deaths is a victim of "Snow White'" fairy tale that expect her father to listen to her about her stepmother. When they resolve the case, Sam decides to meet the Crossroad Demon to force her to keep Dean out of the deal threatening with the Colt.

"Bedtime Stories" is a good episode of this Third Season. The story of the fairy tale killer is dark like most of the original Brothers Grimm tales and the little girl is spooky. However, the best part is the meeting of Sam and the Crossroad Demon and her revelation to him. Who might be her boss? My vote is seven.
