Supernatural Halloween



In honor of the upcoming Halloween I thought of writing about a show that deals with all the creepy creatures that can also be seen on Halloween.

It’s my currently favorite show and is called “Supernatural”. It is quite difficult to describe and even one of the main character’s actors himself stated that the best description is given by watching the DVDs. Nonetheless I’ll try to sum it up shortly and hopefully also understandably. Supernatural is a TV drama series about two brothers, Sam and Dean Winchester, who fight ghosts, demons and other supernatural creatures. They are portrayed by the actors Jared Padalecki and Jensen Ackles. In addition to the ghostlike beings the show also tackles the lives of the two brothers and how hunting demons changed it. I can only recommend it to anyone who isn’t scared of seeing a lot of blood and also hearing a lot of swear words.
 
For a more detailed description have a look at this website: http://www.supernatural-fan-wiki.com/page/About+Supernatural
 
Now back to the topic I brought up in the beginning. Since Halloween is already in a few days I picked my top five creepiest creatures of the show:


So here comes number 5: Werewolves
Werewolves were human once but now have the power to transform into a wolf when there is full moon. People become werewolves by being bitten by one and there is no cure to get normal again. Besides being stronger and faster they also have night vision.
 
 
 
Number 4: Zombies
Zombies are one of the most known supernatural creatures especially since there seems to be a hype about zombies lately with all the movies and TV shows. Like widely known they are the living dead brought back by some kind of magic spell. But of course they come back in a very different way then they were before as zombies are stronger and faster than humans.


 
 
 
 
Number 3: Wendigos
Wendigos were once human but after they had to eat human flesh in order to survive they turned into this type of supernatural creature. A few of their abilities are enormous strength and speed as well as the fact that they are invulnerable to most knives and weapons.
 
 
 
 
Number 2: Hellhounds
Hellhounds are deadly creatures which are often described as demonic pitbulls. They are kind of like reapers but are especially after the humans soul. Hellhounds are amazingly fast and have an excellent sense of smell. Probably one of their creepiest abilities is to become invisible.
 
 
Number one: Shapeshifters
Shapeshifters are human-like creatures who can change into any shape or form of a person they want. This is also the reason why I chose them as the scariest creature because you can’t really distinguish them from the real human being they are impersonating. The only way to do so is by filming them, especially their eyes since they kind of glow then.

My first blog :)




To be honest I really found it difficult to get started with blogging since I had to do a lot of thinking to find an appropriate topic to write about. Many bloggers simply write about the stuff that tackles them the most others start off with introducing themselves or their home town. 
Because of this, I decided to start of with a little description of my home town Villach.


Villach is a little town in the center of Carinthia. It has not only a lot of historically interesting monuments especially on the main square but also a beautiful landscape with mountains and lakes. Because of this Villach is a very appealing tourist destination which offers a lot of hiking and swimming facilities in summer as well as skiing facilities in winter.
