3. Everybody Loves a Clown (Season 2, Episode 2)
Taking the fear of clowns to a whole new level, the Winchesters attend a haunted carnival where they encounter malevolent clowns and a mysterious curse.

4. Roadkill (Season 2, Episode 16)
In one of Supernatural's most outstanding episodes, Sam and Dean encounter a ghostly hitchhiker on a desolate highway. While investigating the ghost's tragic history, they must find a way to rest her soul.
With clever plot twists and a tragic backstory that leads to a shocking conclusion, this episode expertly blends ghost story and slasher movie elements.
5. Playthings (Season 2, Episode 11)
Even Jensen Ackles has admitted that this Season 2 classic still scares him. In this chilling episode, the Winchesters check into a seemingly charming inn with a dark history of accidents and death. As they explore the haunted place, they encounter ghostly children, malevolent forces, and possessed porcelain dolls.
6. Family Remains (Season 4, Episode 11)
This episode is a classic and one of the creepiest episodes on network television. Featuring a familiar tale of a mysterious presence and a murder in a room locked from the inside, Sam and Dean's efforts to deal with a ghost fail, leading to a disturbing revelation that leaves a lasting impact.
7. #Thinman (Season 9, Episode 15)
Sam and Dean investigate a series of murders linked to an Internet urban legend called the Thinman. They uncover a copycat killer inspired by the legend and explore the impact of online myths in the digital age, blending supernatural horror with commentary on Internet culture.
This episode, reminiscent of Season 1's Hell House, features a terrifying creature design and embraces the show's early-seasons-style of scares... which Supernatural decided to abandon for some reason in later chapters.
