Supernatural - Season 2 [Blu-ray]

Good condition: Case slightly cracked; disks like new

Horror series Supernatural delivers some of the most satisfying small-screen scares in recent memory. The premise is deceptively simple: brothers Sam and Dean (Jared Padalecki and Jensen Ackles) travel the darker corners of the American landscape in search of their father, who's gone missing while hunting the malevolent forces that lead to the death of their mother.  In the course of their search, the siblings encounter a host of otherworldly creatures, including vampires, ghosts, and witches, as well as such distinctly American phenomena as the urban-legend favourite the Hook, monsters from Native American mythology and fearful figures from well-known children's games. Supernatural's integration of elements from American pop culture and folklore, combined with its skilled cast and crew, and better-than-average attempts at atmosphere and suspense place the series well above the other spook-show programs that arrived on TV screens at about the same time, and should hold considerable appeal for fans of frightful fare.
