Bloody Mary

Its like a typical mirror hauting. Engaging and fun

This episode has definitely brought in some of the worst characters so far, without a doubt, and along with some of the acting, the script and the photography that is extremely dark, this is one of the worst episodes for me.

The only two worthwhile things in this mess are literally Dean and Sam.

(here is the reason for 2 stars.)

Supernatural wears its influences on its shelves and that is very much the case here. The episode uses the bones of the urban legend Bloody Mary and puts flesh on the bones by shamelessly ripping off Japanese horror. The resulting product has chills and a couple of scares but it is hollow. I did really like how this episode lays the ground work for Sam's powers without being obvious. This is sort of the first time the show played around with just desserts with limited success.

Saw this ep for the first time when I was 11. I was scared of mirrors for months. Never fully recovered. Upon rewatch, very enjoyable episode.

In Toledo, Ohio, three girlfriends decide to play with the American urban legend of "Bloody Mary", saying her name three times to a mirror. None of them dies, but the father of the host. Dean and Sam read the weird obituary in a newspaper and decide to investigate the corpse, and the coroner's assistant tells that the man died of internal bleed in the brain and also that both eyes blew. They contact the girls, and sooner they find that Bloody Mary is chasing people that had caused the death of some other person, and they try to find a way to stop her.

I have recently seen Mary Lambert's "Urban Legends: Bloody Mary" and it seems that there is an urban legend in USA about this fiend "Bloody Mary" that is summoned when a person speaks her name three times in front of or to a mirror. In the best episode of this series to now, Dean and Sam face this evil spirit in a great battle, where there is a hook for new mysteries about the former relationship of Sam and Jessica. My vote is nine.
