    Building up

    Builds up the mystery, we get to see the mom but well that character has been butchered kinda but in the beginning its good. The psychic kinda had it out for Dean for some reason tho it was funny

    Scariest Episode to this Moment

    Sam has a nightmare with the dwellers of his former house in Lawrence, and convinces Dean to drive to Kansas. They meet Jenny (Kristin Richardson), who has just moved from Wichita and tells them about the weird noises in the house, and her daughter, who tells about a flaming creature in the closet of her room. Dean and Sam bring the old medium friend of their father, Missouri Moseley (Loretta Devine), and together with the spirit of Mary Winchester, they battle against an evil poltergeist.

    "Home" is the scariest episode of "Supernatural" to this moment, with a great tale of haunted house. Further, the intriguing conclusion of this must-see episode increases the mystery about the disappearance of John Winchester. My vote is ten.

    A solid mythos episode

    For the first several years the show alternated from a monster of the week to shows mainly about the ongoing story. This episode was the first outside the pilot to be primarily about the mythology of the Winchesters. One of the the many things I liked about this show is how it manages, despite the convoluted plotting inherent in fantasy TV, to keep the emotional stakes believable and grounded. The big reveal in this episode-"I'm sorry"-takes on several different meanirngs as the show progressed and it's exact textual meaning is revised several times. Re-watching it today it struck me that the show writing is really good at being specific enough to develop the emotional story while being open ended enough to allow for the eventual revisions in meaning.

    The story in the episode itself is a fun ghost story. The solution to the haunting is a nice counterpoint to so many of the salt and burn endings of the other episode. I do regret that Missouri isn't ever developed as a side character because the actress is a great foil for Ackles and she injected nice bit of comedy when it was needed.

    There's no place like home

    This is the one that got me hooked, almost 15 years ago...this episode made me realize Supernatural is so much more than the usual Fantasy/Horror Show...the personal drama, the interaction between Sam & Dean, that's the core of the show! And after all this years, it's still my favourite TV-Show

    MISSOURI Is my fav.

    It's a great episode but unfortunately the Character of Missouri didn't get the Credit she deserved on the show. I wanted to see her more but she appeared in only 2 episodes. It broke my heart because I really loved her dynamic duo with Dean. LOL.

    • Trivia
      The number for Dean on John's answering message was 866-907-3235, which for a time was an operational number with voice recordings by Jensen Ackles. It is no longer in service.
    • Goofs
      In "Phantom Traveler" Sam and Dean listen to their father's answering machine and Dean's cell phone number is given. Here in "Home" Dean leaves his father a message but the number given in the recording is different than in the earlier show.
