    • Quotes

      Dean Winchester: Well, look at me. I mean, I came back from the furnace without any of my old scars, right? No bullet wounds, knife cuts, none of the off-angle fingers from all of the breaks - I mean, my hide is as smooth as a baby's bottom. Which leads me to conclude, sadly, that my virginity is intact.

      Sam Winchester: What?

      Dean Winchester: I've been re-hymenated.

      Sam Winchester: Re - Please. Dean, maybe angels can pull you out of hell, but no one could do that.

      Dean Winchester: Brother! I have been re-hymenated. And the dude will not abide!

    A favorite
    From a joke stolen from The Simpsons to the tacky sets that look like they came off a 1930's Universal Studio monster film, this episode was a pleasant surprise in taking the typical Winchester storyline and turning it on its head as a classic monster movie.

    The characterization of the sleepy Pennsylvania town (which looks like the backdrop for "Frankenstein") as a hotbed of supernatural activity surrounding an Oktoberfest celebration gives credence to the story that includes a poor Lugosi impersonation as Dracula, an unseen werewolf and a mummy that comes to life in the town's museum. Definitely a fun show that steps outside the series' sometimes overwrought seriousness.

    Full disclosure: I am from that small town, Canonsburg, PA, and it does have an Oktoberfest, it's definitely steeped in 1950-70 architecture, it does not have a natural history museum and it does have a few people who look like they stepped out of a 1930's horror film. And it has a statue of hometown favorite Perry Como in front of the Borough Building.
