- TriviaDuring the filming of this episode Jared Padalecki (Sam) injured his hand when he fell badly during a stunt. He thought it was merely sprained and went straight into filming the next episode (2.04 Children Shouldn't Play with Dead Things (2006) without having it checked. But it got more and more painful and finally he went to the doctor and discovered that his hand was, in fact, broken. Because he had already begun filming, he couldn't bandage the hand until filming for that episode was finished. The writers ended up writing in an accident for Sam and his line "I think she broke my hand" to explain the fact that for the following few episodes he would be wearing a cast.
- GoofsWhen Dean kills a vampire, blood is sprayed on his face, mostly on his right cheek. In the next shot the pattern is different, and notably the right cheek is almost clean. Furthermore, his mouth was agape when he made the kill, risking the blood getting into his mouth and turning him into a vampire. While the brothers didn't yet know how a vampire is made at that point, Gordon did and should have been alarmed that Dean might have gotten some of the blood in his mouth.

Featured review
A strong reversal of tropes
For several season monster of the week are a mainstay in the show. Even today there are strong procedural elements. This episode does a remarkable job overturning the conventions of the show in a believable way. Gordon is wonderfully dark/evil version of Dean and Lenore is a wonderful damsel in distress in context. The flipping of the roles for the humans and the supernatural creature creates a powerful dissonance in the boy's moral universe that helps ground the show in emotional reality. The show has a humanistic viewpoint-it embraces the flaws and crap that make up people's loves and this episode has some of the strong resonances of the entire series.
Add in a the pathos for the vamps and this is a great episode.
