Quotes

[Sam and Dean sneak into the sorority house where Lori's roommate has been murdered; they see the message scratched on the wall]
Sam Winchester: "Aren't you glad you didn't turn on the light." That's right out of the legend.
Dean Winchester: Yeah, that's classic Hook-Man all right.
[touching his nose]
Dean Winchester: And it's definitely a spirit.
Sam Winchester: Yeah. I've never smelled ozone this strong before.

Aren't you glad you didn't turn on the light?

In Iowa, while dating in a car parked nearby a river, the Theta Sorority pledge Lori Sorenson (Jane McGregor) and her boyfriend hear a sharp noise on the body and top of the car. When the boy leaves the car to see what is happening, he is attacked by an invisible being and killed. Dean and Sam decide to investigate the phenomenon in their hunting trip and arrive in the University of Iowa. When Lori's roommate is also attacked and murdered, the brothers realize that they have to face the evil and moralist Hook Man.

In spite of having some scaring moments, like for example when Lori reads on the wall "Aren't you glad you didn't turn on the light?", I found this episode one of the weakest of "Supernatural". My vote is seven.
