“The world of reality has its limits; the world of imagination is boundless.” ― Jean-Jacques Rousseau This article is an idea I got while writing “The Fan Video of the Week article” for “The Vessel”. For that episode, I featured two videos where Supernatural was combined with trailers for full-length movies and their music. While…
#4 Sam’s Shoe Ordeal, “Bad Day At Black Rock” It would be impossible to do a list like this without including something from “Bad Day At Black Rock.” After all, I’ve never seen a better screwball comedy from any comedy show, let alone a paranormal drama. In pouring through the scenes there were several great ones, but…
If you have a weak stomach, be warned. Some of these screencaps are pretty gross. If you think you can handle it, read on! I was inspired to write up this list by Ben Edlund’s insane opening to “My Bloody Valentine.” Gruesome! We all know that Supernatural can be a really gory show. And normally,…
The Winchester family really gets put through the ringer on this show, don’t they? I can’t think of another program on television that kills off it’s series leads so regularly and so gruesomely. Of course, this is part of what makes Supernatural so amazing: they are willing to really go there. Because Dean died so…
#5 – Anna Milton So what makes Anna a reluctant and unwilling hero? She was an almightly and powerful angel and gave it all up. She lost faith, got disillusioned, and decided to pursue human pleasure. Worse, she even threw her grace down to Kentucky, the one state that had no idea what to do with it…
Looking back at 2016 overall, I think most of us are in agreement that this was hardly a banner year. Wait, I take that back, there were plenty of banners, all commemorating some pretty awful and troubling events. Bottom line, this year pretty much sucked. When looking back at “Supernatural,” it wasn’t a…
The Skin shapeshifter, in my opinion. I adore both of them, but Skin is probably one of my favourite episodes in the first season… I don’t know. I just find the idea of psychotic shapeshifters very, very creepy, and on the side of the mytharc it’s a good old horrorshow and I like to be scared. I like to be creeped out. If I didn’t, I’d watch My Little Pony.
I think the way each shapeshifter is written is clever, in that it shows how each of them “begins” the same, but grows to be what they are depending on their reaction to the circumstances and events of their up-bringing Mmm sounds a bit like our boys and the way they have reacted and grown. I personaly prefer the “darker” one in “skin”, still have a soft spot for the fun in Draculla!
Waiting for the next offering

I’d go with the Monster Movie shapeshifter, but the Skin shapeshifter gets bonus points for choosing Dean’s skin 😀
Hi, Alice,
Great comparisons between them all, I agree, for this particular adventure the shapeshifter in Nightshifter is out as his character wasn’t really part of the story, Ronald and Henricksen got those parts so we never knew the shapeshifter.
Both characters (Skin and Monster Movie) got to show their vulnerable sides, what haunted them and ‘made them’ still, they chose their paths and choosing evil is always a way to get killed, in the Supernatural world certainly.
I loved them both and can’t choose. It’s nice to have a multiple monsters from multiple seasons to curl up with when I’m in the mood for a shapeshifter triple play.
Great list.
Although i liked the shapeshifter in skin i just adore dracula! just so funny. both had a vulnerable side, similar experiences growing up and use violence to obtain their own ends, but the dracula monster i just feel is something a little deeper, he’s not just rage but is looking for love (going about it the wrong way) but is creative and random and has a million shades to him whereas all you see with the skin shapeshifter is rage and anger. plus loved the cloak!
Hmmm … Tricky …
Nightshifter ‘shifter gets points for being in such a total blinder of an episode and for inspiring Ron and his fabulously useless Mandroid theory … Bless …
Skin ‘shifter was evil, horrible, manipulative and twenty-seven flavours of vile so well done
him/her/it …
In the end my personal biscuit goes to the Monster Movie version for being splendidly daft ( the Vespa, the coupon, the leiderhosen … I could go on all night ) and actually rather touching at the end. It’s hard not to love a movie spod, whatever shape they are!
