Storyline

Did you know

Samhain actually refers to a Celtic festival, and means 'Summer's end', not a mythological character called Samhain. There is a common misconception that Samhain referred to an ancient god of the dead. Also, "Samhain" is pronounced "SOW-in" (the first syllable rhyming with "cow") rather than "sam-hane," as it's pronounced in the episode.

While this may be true, the inspiration for the demon Samhain in this episode actually comes from "Sam Hain", the ghost of Halloween in The Real Ghostbusters who was, in turn, inspired by a fictional God of Halloween in Ray Bradbury's book, "The Halloween Tree". As these three are all fictional characters, the pronunciations of their names are, in fact, correct.

Dean Winchester: So we're talking ghosts? Sam Winchester: Yeah. Dean Winchester: Zombies? Sam Winchester: Mm-hmm. Dean Winchester: Leprechauns? Sam Winchester: Dean. Dean Winchester: Those little dudes are scary. Small hands.

After *three* Monster-of-the-Week episodes, of which two were comedic ones, no less, it's finally the return to the Mytharc. An a *Great* 9/10 episode it is, the best since the season opener "Lazarus Rising", for several reasons.

One of the traditional Annual American Holiday TV Episodes (Easter, Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year - guess which one?), this one is not content to just lazily shoehorn the holiday into the plot - no, this explores the *true* roots of said holiday and also seamlessly links it to the Mytharc. Plotwise, there is no padding. There might also be a genuinely brilliant twist or two.

A great Supernatural episode does not necessarily need gruesome deaths, but here we get some pretty nasty and sickly inventive ones. But the best stuff comes from characterization. Pretty much every character is excellently written, and the actors seize the opportunity to shine. Misha Collins has by now, in his fourth episode, despite his rather limited total screen-time, earned his place as a semi-regular. However, this episode belongs to Robert Wisdom, whose performance is just *scary*. And he doesn't even raise his voice. All that is missing here are Jim Beaver and Genevieve Cortese, but there would have been nothing for their characters to do.

To this, add the trademark witty humor, *relevant* theological and philosophical discussion, tense sequences and some full-on action, and the end result is a not-to-be-missed episode, one of the key ones of the whole season. But even greater stuff is still to come.

P.S. Some might argue that the character Robert Wisdom is playing is incorrectly written, comparable to if one of the Horsemen of the Apocalypse were written just as a mere demon, but there is a logical explanation: the character in Supernatural is *not* the same character as in *our* world. Furthermore, as he is not as well known in our world than his "brothers", there is no need to say that the writing is factually incorrect. Especially since in our world, some of the character's brothers have been "officially excluded" from the company of the most famous ones. So, if the real world can just write off characters this major, why would Supernatural not alter them a bit?

Many consider this night to be sacred and use it to reconnect with their ancestors and honor their magical heritage. It is a time of celebration and reflection for these witches, as they embrace their powers and connect with the energy of the supernatural world. Halloween is a night like no other for supernatural born witches, as it brings forth their true magical potential and allows them to harness the forces of the supernatural realm..

Reviews for "The Allure of Witchcraft: Supernatural Witches and Halloween"

1. Jennifer - 2 stars - I was really excited to read "Supernatural born witches on Halloween" as I love supernatural stories, but I was ultimately disappointed. The plot was convoluted and confusing, with too many characters introduced without proper development. It felt like the author was trying to cram too many ideas into one book, resulting in a messy and disjointed narrative. Additionally, the writing style was lackluster, lacking the depth and detail needed to make the story truly immersive. Overall, I found it difficult to connect with the characters or become invested in their journey.

2. Mark - 1 star - "Supernatural born witches on Halloween" was a complete letdown. The story lacked originality and felt like a carbon copy of countless other supernatural books I've read before. The characters were one-dimensional and uninteresting, with the dialogue feeling forced and unnatural. The pacing of the book was also a major issue, with long periods of nothing happening followed by sudden bursts of rushed action. I struggled to stay engaged and was ultimately left feeling underwhelmed by the overall story. I would not recommend this book to anyone looking for a fresh and captivating supernatural read.

3. Sarah - 2 stars - I found "Supernatural born witches on Halloween" to be a rather lackluster read. The concept had great potential, but the execution fell flat. The writing lacked sophistication and finesse, with repetitive phrases and awkward sentence structure. The characters were poorly developed, and their actions often felt contrived and illogical. Moreover, the pacing was uneven, with long stretches of mundane events and minimal plot progression. Overall, this book failed to captivate my interest and left me wanting more substance and depth in both the storytelling and character development.
