NIGHTMARE
Episode 114
airdate: February 7, 2006
directed by Phil Sgriccia
written by Sera Gamble & Raelle Tucker
Sam (Jared Padalecki) has a premonition in which a man is killed, but the murder is made to look like a suicide. Sam convinces Dean (Jensen Ackles) that they must investigate the case, but the two are puzzled when they fail to find anything that indicates that the death was supernatural in nature. That is, until they find out that Max (Brendan Fletcher), the reclusive son of the first victim, has been using his recently acquired power of telekinesis to kill the family members that once abused him. Sam also discovers Max's mother was killed by the same fiery demon that took his own mom.

  • Sam and Dean are staying at the Escanaba Motel. Escanaba, MI, is in the Upper Peninsula, which is nowhere near Saginaw, MI.
  • Director Philip Sgriccia personally chose to use two early Bob Seger songs because he was from Michigan, and "Nightmare" took place in Saginaw. In addition to this, Sgriccia asked his sister to send him coffee mugs and baseball caps from Michigan to give believability to the setting.

A nice decoration for the wall. A backwoods family of hunters likes to stuff and mount their kill as trophies. Only they hut humans. And they've got Sam.
