As a villain, she provides the perfect vessel for the show to establish both the dynamic between estranged brothers Sam and Dean and the show’s old-school approach to horror. The Brothers Winchester’s first “Freak-of-the-week” mission finds our siblings hunting the “Woman in White,” who kills all those who offer to give her a ride. The series premiere confidently executes its “ X-Files but with leather jackets and shotguns” premise with a gritty, 1970s horror visual aesthetic, bolstered with a haunting Urban Legend-y villain and one of the scariest finales we have ever seen. Supernatural creator Eric Kripke’s exceptional pilot is one of television’s most memorable debut hours.
