First of all i really like found footage, some of my favorite horror films are found footage, cloverfield, as above so below etc it just adds this personal feel to it and with this ep we get to see the perspective of the people and not Sam and Dean, that confusion and fear is always missing in spn because we are looking at things from the eyes of two hunters that we know will likely not die (and even if they do, like it matters). I did like the return of the ghostfacers, the reality tv parody and especially Dean and Sam swearing because it fit so well, ofcourse they swear. Also Dean can be scary seriously.
Spn is not scary, and ya it's difficult to make scary horror and that's even limited with spn because again protagonists are hunters not clueless scared people plus demons that should be terrifying and overpowered are continuously beaten and their mythology just not scary anymore, the scary part has been the bigger picture of losing yourself to revenge and anger and losing your soul which with Dean's thing sometimes is scary but spn does do scary with its ghost eps, those are my favorite scary eps that actually verge on scary. So this is definitely one of the scariest ones. I don't understand the negative response here especially from people that are the newest commenters, i think its brilliant.
