Supernatural

Finally The CW has decided to show a little bit of love for its old work horse "Supernatural" by releasing three new preview videos in advance of the series' Season Six debut on September 24th.

Season Six of "Supernatural" kicks off on Friday, September 24th, with new showrunner Sera Gamble taking over from series creator Eric Kripke. While The CW seems to be currently putting most of its promotional muscle behind "The Vampire Diaries" and the reboot of "Nikita", they have thrown fans of the Winchester brothers a bone with a brief summer season promo trailer.

We don't often pick out specific charities to promote here on Dread Central, but we're big fans of "Supernatural" and one of its stars, Misha Collins, who portrays the angel Castiel. When we caught wind of a charity Misha has formed called "Random Acts", we thought we'd pass along the info and let you decide for yourselves whether or not to get involved.

Not a lot of genre-related info came out of the recent Television Critics Association's summer press tour, but new "Supernatural" showrunner Sera Gamble did drop a few choice tidbits about the series' upcoming sixth season that weren't discussed at Comic-Con. And speaking of Comic-Con (in what's hopefully one of the last times we'll mention the event), The CW has provided us with pretty cool video they compiled on "Supernatural" day.

Looking for something to help ease you into the weekend? How about preview trailers for the season openers of both "The Vampire Diaries" and "Supernatural" on The CW?

It's become a Dread Central tradition to close out our Comic-Con work week with the "Supernatural" panel. Few sessions are as funny, informative, and entertaining year after year. And 2010 was no exception. All the tidbits and mini-spoilers Kripke and crew revealed can be found here, along with a description of the clip that was shown from Episode 4 of the upcoming Season 6, "Weekend at Bobby's", directed by Jensen Ackles.

Lots of changes are in store for fans of the TV series "Supernatural" besides its shift to Friday night and the return of Mitch Pileggi as the Winchester brothers' grandfather. Long-time showrunner Eric Kripke is passing the torch to Sera Gamble, and there's been some concern as to how she's going to top Season Five's awesome apocalyptic arc. Read on for some comments from Kripke about what we can expect and how involved he might be after all.

The CW has set its fall premiere schedule, launching its fifth broadcast season, and we've got the skinny on when you can see the return of the two genre favorites carried by the network: "The Vampire Diaries" and "Supernatural".

The CW Network may have decided to split up "The Vampire Diaries" and "Supernatural" by running them on separate nights starting this fall, but to us they'll always go together like ... well ... vamps and slayers. So it seemed fitting to combine the two tidbits of news we got about the shows' upcoming seasons.

On September 7th Warner Home Video will release the fifth season of "Supernatural", starring Jensen Ackles and Jared Padalecki, onto DVD and Blu-Ray, and we've got an early look at what to expect! Season Synopsis

A lot of fans felt that Season Five of "Supernatural" ended on such a perfect note that had the series itself ended as well, they would have been satisfied. Nonetheless, they have a Season Six to look forward to, and we have some potential casting news to help make the wait a bit more tolerable.

It's a good week for Blu-ray player owners as a batch of old favorites is being re-released on the format including Darkman, The Stepfather (the original), Park Chan-wook's Vengeance Trilogy, and our pick of the week, Supernatural: The Complete First Season.

Author Joe Schreiber is probably best known as the man that brought horror to the Star Wars universe with his novel Death Troopers. He's decided to bring his brand of chills to another universe we love quite a bit here at Dread Central: the world of the Winchesters and "Supernatural".
