Puppets, luchadore masks and lingerie! No, it’s not my New Year’s Eve plans, it’s more wacky hijinx from the Ghostfacers. The hilarious, bumbling paranormal detectives from Supernatural back in another video released by the CW.
It’s a holiday-themed episode with a Secret Santa that reveals some very disturbing secrets, a parody of The Night Before Christmas, and Ed and Harry dressed as stockings. Continue reading to watch their hilarious antics, which might include a clue about a future Supernatural episode.

Ben Edlund is exactly who you'd expect him to be. He created The Tick. He wrote and directed “Smile Time,” the puppet episode of Angel. And he's penned some of Supernatural's most off-the-wall episodes like “Monster Movie” and “Wishful Thinking,” with the suicidal alcoholic teddy bear. He's an insane genius, a master of the absurd whose brain operates in an entirely different way than normal people's.
BuddyTV spoke to Edlund about where his wacky Supernatural ideas come from, though getting a straight answer from him isn't easy since he seems as amused by his brilliantly off-beat mind as the rest of us are. In between fits of laughter, Edlund talked about his upcoming serious episode of Supernatural, the show's use of religion, ghost bees and man-eating cookies. Continue reading for the full transcript and to listen to the interview.

The Supernatural writing staff has a lot on its plate this season. With the introduction of angels and God, there's a whole new world for the staff to figure out. In our exclusive interview with writer Sera Gamble, she explained how the show is blending the actual world of religion with the Supernatural mythology. In part 1 of our interview, Gamble also talked about the 66 Seals that need to be broken, and how working on Syns, her new Showtime pilot, will affect her job at Supernatural. Continue reading for the full transcript and to listen to our interview.
And come back to BuddyTV over the next few weeks for more of our exclusive Supernatural writer interviews, including Jeremy Carver's thoughts on writing, Ben Edlund's inspired comedy, and more from Gamble about Sam's role and what's to come for the rest of season 4.

Some angels just don't fit in with the whole concept of Christmas. Even so, they still make for great television. One of those responsible for the amazing ratings of Supernatural is fan favorite Castiel, portrayed by actor Misha Collins.
Earlier in the season, Castiel yanked the ruthless Dean Winchester (Jensen Ackles) from the depths of Hell. Since then, the trench-coat-sporting angel started guarding the Winchester brothers with his partner, Uriel (Robert Wisdom). It seems as though Collins is sticking around due to the positive response he garnered from audiences. He actually just signed on for six episodes, but it looks like he'll be in the Supernatural game longer than that.

There are plenty of great episodes ahead for Supernatural, with magicians, high schools and Dean driving a Prius (more on that last one can be heard in our upcoming exclusive interview with writer Sera Gamble). Kristin at E!Online recently got word on another episode that features Dean and Sam posing as ghosts to uncover the sudden death of reapers.
The big news Kristin has today is that in this episode, “a character we know and love dies.” While she doesn't reveal who ths mystery death is, it shouldn't be too hard to figure out because, as any Supernatural fan knows, there aren't a whole lot of characters we “know and love.” It definitely takes Ruby out of the running.

We're still a month away from new episodes of Supernatural, but if you can't wait until the new year for creepy haunted houses, magical magicians and Jensen Ackles in shorts and gym socks, you're in luck. The CW has generously released some snippets from the first three episodes of the new year, just enough to whet your appetites. They're more like stocking stuffers than actual Christmas presents.

Earlier today BuddyTV interviewed three of Supernatural's best writers: Sera Gamble, Jeremy Carver and Ben Edlund. While the full interviews span about one hour's worth of great Supernatural discussions, those will be released over the next few weeks as we lead up to Supernatural's return on January 15.
But there was so much goodness to come out of these interviews that I have to share a few of the coolest bits right away. From the 66 seals and angels to Sam's role and “Criss Angel is a Douchebag,” there was no Supernatural topic past, present or future that we missed. Here's a sneak peek of what's to come in the second half of season 4.
WARNING: Minor spoilers ahead regarding upcoming episodes
