WELCOME, FELLOW SUPERNATURAL ADDICTS! ON THIS PAGE, I WILL DO MY OWN PERSONAL REVIEW OF THE NEWEST EPISODE OF SUPERNATURAL AND SHARE MY PERSONAL LITTLE VIEWPOINTS AND THOUGHTS. NOW, PLEASE, DON’T SEND ME NASTY E-MAILS BECAUSE YOU DON’T AGREE WITH WHAT I HAVE TO SAY HERE. THESE ARE MY OWN OPINIONS AND I’M NOT EXPECTING ANYONE TO AGREE WITH ME. SO…NOW THAT WE HAVE THAT OUT OF THE WAY…HERE WE GO.
MY REVIEW OF "GHOSTFACERS"
Well….I thought I was gonna watch Supernatural, but apparently…I get these two guys instead.
Nice yellow sneakers there, Calvin Kline.
And, the bow tie is mighty fine, too.
The “Ghostfacers” promo was priceless…
*gigglesnort*
Okay, now, seriously? What’s up with the slow motion?
Ladies and Gentlemen…let’s meet the team! First, we have….Corbett
Then we have…Maggie.
Is it just me or does she remind anyone else of that creepy chick in “The Grudge”? Just me? Okay…carry on….
Now, we meet….Spruce. He’s 15/16th Jew and 1/16th Cherokee…that’s something to be proud of right there. *Blink*
Not only that…but he drives a golf ball picker upper for a living.
Okay…I don’t know feel so bad about my pathetic existence anymore.
Then, of course we have Ed….and Harry….or fearless leaders.
Well, I don’t know about ya’ll, but I feel much better knowing these idiots…I mean…team of professionals are out at night.
***
So, the team is going to be investigating a place called the “Morton House”. Every four years the house becomes the most haunted place in America. No one has ever spent the night in the house according to “eyewitness” reports, but the team is setting out to change all that.
Go forth, young braves!
Listening to Corbett describe Ed….well, I can say is…AWKWARD
Well, damnit! How are our brave team of experts here supposed to save us from all those damn things that go bump in the night if “dad” keeps interrupting the proceedings by driving his car through the headquarters?
Some people have no respect…..
***
The team gets to the house and finds it locked up by the local authorities…but that’s no problem for our guys!
They just decide to break in. Yeah, sounds like a solid plan to me.
Oh! What is that I hear….a familiar rumble…classic rock ringing into the night…could it be….?
I have to say that when I was watching this and I heard that sweet, sweet pur of the Impala’s engine I was more then happy to sit in my chair and cheer! I’m such a geek. Okay…moving on….
The group gets organized…and sets out to explore the house…
***
Okay, I’m not an expert or anything…but since when is it common practice to yell at the spirits in a haunted house. “I’M SPEAKING TO THE RESTLESS SPIRITS IN THIS HOUSE…….”
Poor Corbett looks like he’s about to pee his pants….
Harry, Maggie, and Spruce are investigating another part of the house, when the camera starts acting up.
Maybe it’s from Ed hollerin’ at everybody. I mean, dang, I get upset when people yell at me. But, I could be wrong…
Harry…the super ghost facer tries to enter a room to investigate….
*gigglesnort*
And, finds a big, scary DEMON RAT!!!!!!
Don’t fault him for being scared, people. Rats are the “rats of the world” after all.
Ed and Corbett are investigating a part of the house when they come upon some uninvited guests….
Corbett once again looks like he’s on the verge of bladder trouble…
And, who do we see…..
SAM AND DEAN!!!!!! *Does happy dances* HI, BOYS!!!! *Waves*
Sam and Dean bust in there pretending to be cops, but Ed aint fooled. He says he recognizes the both of them.
LMAO I loved it when comprehension dawned on both our guys. The “holy s**t” and the “f**k me” were too funny.
*snort* Chisel Chest…that’s a new one.
Ed tries to tell Dean that he and his team were there first and they ain’t moving. Let me repeat that…he tries to tell DEAN they were there first…
Bad idea, Ed.
Harry, Maggie, and Spruce get some EMF activity in their part of the house, the camera freaks out again…
And, then this…
Looks like our crack team of investigators got something they weren’t expecting, eh?
***
Sam tries to explain to Ed that anyone who spends the night in the house on leap year, ends up dying after midnight.
Harry, Maggie, and Spruce come running in screaming that they saw a “actually entity”…
The light bulb goes on over Harry’s little pointed head…
And he proclaims, “Hey, aren’t those the a**holes from Texas?”
Yes, Harry. Yes, they are. But, that would be HOT a**holes to you there, buddy.
The teams reviews the footage of the ghost Harry, Spruce, and Maggie saw, Sam pulls Dean aside and tells him that they saw was a “Death Echo”.
Of course, Spruce over hears the convo and decides to start asking questions.
Dean explains to our intelligence challenged friend…I mean…Spruce…that a death echo is an entity that’s caught in a loop. It keeps replaying the way it died over and over again and it isn’t the dangerous thing in the house.
Our guys tell the team that it’s time to get the hell out of Dodge before the REALLY scary stuff starts happening…and amidst the confusion…
They realize that Corbett is missing.
Corbett, meanwhile, has gone off to investigate by himself. *Shakes Head*
The camera once again starts going haywire…
And, HOLY CRAP!!!!!
The rest of the teams hears Corbett scream and starts freaking out.
Sam and Dean try to calm them down and once again we get a dose of Sam’s potty mouth.
LOL
Something, apparently, has gotten a hold of Corbett and is taking him away.
Sam and Dean try to get everyone rounded up and try once AGAIN to get everyone the hell out of the house.
Sam and Dean start arguing…and Spruce catches it all on film.
That’s a good boy…
Sam tells everyone that the spirit in the house has locked down all the exits out, so their pretty much stuck inside with whatever is lurking about.
***
The camera starts freaking out again…and, we have another death echo, ladies and germs!
Dean starts yelling at the thing…
Which confuses our Ghostfacers. Sam explains that sometimes you can shock an echo out of its loop, but you usually have to have some sort of connection with the deceased.
Dean continues yelling at the thing…
The spirit turns around and is seemingly hit by an oncoming train.
Now…last time I checked…trains don’t run right through the middle of houses. Hmmmm…….
Sam, Dean, and our dear Ghostfacers continue exploring the house and end up in the den of one Freeman Dagget…the previous owner of the house.
*gigglesnort* Did anyone else laugh their butts off at the fact that the EMF meter went off when Ed held it up to Dean?
Maybe I’m just weird…
Dean finds a lock box with some stuff inside…most of it being of no interest to him.
But..then…he finds some toe tags. Death by gunshot, train accident, and suicide.
The proceeding “Ewww” from Dean and the similar “Ewwww” from Sam just sent me into a massive giggle fit.
And, of course Ed and Harry have no idea what the big deal is. Sam says that the toes tags explain why the death echos are in the house.
Hello? Anyone home? Lights on…nobody home, eh, Sammy?
Dean tells Ed and Harry that Mr. Dagget brought dead bodies home from the hospital to “play” as he so eloquently put it. And our brilliant ghost hunters finally get it.
Oh! Light bulb! *snicker*
Once again, the cameras have a freak out…
And…Sam disappears.
HANG ON, BABY!!! I’M COMIN’ FOR YA!!! Nobody is gonna turn my beautiful man into a death echo while I’m on the job, I’ll…what? Oh, sorry. *coughs* Carry on…
***
Okay, now, what the hell?! First, Supernatural gets interrupted by “Ghostfacers”, and now “Ghostfacers” gets interrupted by the porn classic “Geeks In Love”…???
BOM CHICKA WOW WOW!!!
Ed catches Harry gettin’ funky with his sister…adoptive sister…and decides to get all medieval on his hiney.
It takes Dean to break up the fight.
We get the classic Dean Winchester exasperation eye roll…and the search for Sam and Corbett continues.
Apparently, Sam and Corbett ended up in the same place…HELL. Cause, what other place are you forced to listen to “It’s My Party” over and over again?
Despite Sam’s desperate attempt to get Corbett through this little shin dig alive…our resident body snatcher decides to scratch his name off the guest list.
MAJOR ICK!!!! Oh, Ick…how we’ve missed you. *sniff, tear* It’s been a while.
Oh, and how cute…Sam gets a little party hat for showing up at the party.
Maybe it’s a good idea that Dean didn’t get invited to the party…cause this could be used for some SERIOUS blackmail material.
Dean figures out from the evidence in the den…the army rations, the literature on the cold war, etc…that Mr. Dagget probably had a bomb shelter cause he was a paranoid freak. He figures it’s in the basement and goes down to check it out.
Dean and Spruce get separated from Ed and Harry…which leads us to this, my faithful readers….
“Ed! Listen to me! There’s some salt in my duffle. Make a circle and get inside.”
“Inside your duffle bag?”
“In the salt, you idiot!”
*ROTFLMFAO* Sorry, I just had a moment…..forgive me, people. You know…there are moments when I feel pretty dumb. I can’t figure out something that’s not working on my computer, or I don’t know the answer to a complicated question…but…this scene right here…just made me feel like frickin’ EINSTIEN!! GO ME!!!
***
Meanwhile, back at the ranch…Dean and Spruce are still in the basement, and the rest of the team, Harry, Ed, and Maggie, are safely tucked away in the salt circle.
They’re having a bonding moment…when the cameras freak out again and all the equipment goes haywire..which means, as we all know by now, another death echo is making itself known. Will our mystery guest enter and sign in please…..
It’s Corbett, Ladies and Gentlemen!!! *Applause*
Down in the basement, Spruce decides that he’s gonna ask Dean about the convo he overheard between him and Sam. He asks Dean about the “two months to live” comment…
And, Dean looks like he’s about to spill the beans…but then thinks better of it.
Jeez, Dean! Language. Do you kiss your mama with that mouth? Oh…sorry…..*slaps forehead* Spruce’s little “Is it cancer” question just about killed me. *giggle*
Sam’s on the verge of becoming a VERY HOT death echo, when….
*HORN TOOT* DEAN TO THE RESCUE!!!!!
Sam explains that Dagget was a lonely little dude…so that’s why he stole the corpses from the morgue…to have company.
But, ya know…dead bodies get old after a while, so every leap year when someone would come into the house…he’d get a new toy.
Corbett decides to put in another appearance…
Ed tries to talk to him…
Meanwhile, down in the basement, Dean, Sam, and our loveable little Spruce are trying to get up to the rest of the team.
The camera starts freaking out again, and…..
HOLY CRAP!!!
Upstairs…Harry tells Ed he knows a way they can get through to Corbett and break him out of his loop. Sam said earlier that if the living had some sort of emotional connection with the deceased it would be possible to spook them out of their loop and help them move on to a better place. Well…it’s pretty obvious that Corbett had a “special” connection with Ed, so…
“Ed…you gotta go be gay for that poor dead intern.” *gigglesnort*
Awwww…such a special moment. *sniff, snort, sniff*
Ed finally gets Corbett’s attention and begs him to help them out.
Dean, Sam, and Spruce are still separated from the rest of the team. The camera acts up again…
DAMNIT!!! This nasty has a habit of sneaking up on people, don’t he? Jeez….warn a hobbit!
*CHEER* Corbett saves the day!!!!!
HOORAY!!!
***
The light of day finally arrives…and we access the damage.
And, now we return you to Masterpiece Theater…..already in progress.
Let us now, faithful readers, take a moment to celebrate the life that was Alan J. Corbett…
May his forehead grow like the mighty oak…and may his soul forever rest in peace. *sniff* Anyone got a tissue?
***
The Ghostfacers team shows Sam and Dean the finished product. All the footage, Corbett’s brutal demise, etc…
Sam and Dean are “facer haters” apparently.
How DARE they! I’m wondering what qualifies one as a “facer hater”…hmm….anyone know where I can get an application?
*snort* “Menudo left their dance bag behind”…
Is now the time to admit that I went through a “Menudo” phase? Yes, friends, I was once a fan of the boy band known as Menudo. And, when I was…Ricky Martin was up in there. Young, fresh, and not “Livin La Vida Loca” yet. *sigh* This is the second time I’ve said this in a review, but….GOD, I FEEL SO OLD!!!
Yeah, well, Menudo may have left their bag behind…but they stuck a little surprise in there for the Ghostfacers as a parting gift.
That little surprise was an electromagnet…wiping out every hard drive and every MINUTE of footage the team had collected.
Dean, Sam…you naughty monkees!!!
***
Now, I have read mixed reviews on this episode. Some say it was great…others say it stunk…and others say it was the wrong kind of episode to come back with after the forced hiatus from the writers strike. Well, here’s my opinion. I liked the episode quite a bit. I mean, I wouldn’t put it on the list of my top favorites, but I quite enjoyed the levity. And, as far as it being the wrong kind of episode to come back with after the strike…well, I figure that the next 3 episodes are going to be drama central, intense, and VERY EMOTIONAL…so let’s have some fun before we go down that road. It’s real simple…I used to work in a haunted house. The objective there is to ease someone into a scare…and then LET EM’ HAVE IT! Give them a false sense of security. That’s what the show is doing here, I think. Giving us the fun stuff…and then WHAM!!! And, I have a feeling that it’s going to go exactly as planned.
Until next time…
All the credit in THE WORLD goes to Supernatural TV for the BEST screen caps a girl could ask for!
