Sam & Dean Face Their First Real Monster! | Supernatural 1x2 "Wendigo" | First Time Watching
Watch on YouTubeVideo summary
The video provides a first-time reaction to the second episode of *Supernatural*, titled "Wendigo," which marks the brothers' first encounter with a supernatural monster. The narrator begins by expressing excitement about diving into the series, noting that they have already learned about key characters like the woman in white and the missing father, while acknowledging the tragic losses of their mother and other loved ones. As the episode unfolds, the story follows Sam and Dean as they travel to Blackwater Ridge to investigate the disappearance of a young man named Tommy Collins. Upon arrival, they are joined by local park rangers who initially suspect a grizzly bear attack but soon realize that the creature responsible is far more dangerous and intelligent than any animal.
The investigation reveals a disturbing pattern of disappearances occurring every 23 years in the region, with victims vanishing under mysterious circumstances that defy natural explanation. Witnesses describe a creature capable of moving unnaturally fast, unlocking doors without breaking them, and mimicking human voices to lure people into traps. The brothers uncover clues pointing to a Wendigo, a mythical entity from Cree folklore that transforms a starving individual into a cannibalistic demon after they eat human flesh to survive harsh winters. This creature is depicted as immortal, capable of hibernating for years while keeping its victims alive in the dark to feed on whenever it chooses, making traditional weapons like guns and knives completely ineffective against it.
As the situation escalates, the brothers must protect the group from the Wendigo's relentless pursuit, leading to intense chase sequences and a confrontation where Dean sacrifices himself by luring the creature away to save his brother and the others. The episode concludes with the realization that the only way to destroy a Wendigo is to burn it alive, setting up future conflicts involving fire-based solutions. Through this experience, the video highlights the deep bond between Sam and Dean, showcasing their protective instincts and shared trauma as they navigate the dangers of the supernatural world while searching for their missing father.
Overall, the episode is praised for its creepy atmosphere, effective use of jump scares, and the introduction of a unique monster that challenges the brothers' hunting skills. The narrator appreciates how the show delves deeper into the family dynamic, emphasizing how Sam and Dean rely on each other after losing their mother and growing up under their father's unconventional guidance. Despite some frustration with the camp setting and certain plot elements, the reviewer finds the Wendigo storyline riveting and stressful, leaving a lasting impression that will likely stick with viewers long after watching. The video ends with anticipation for future episodes and an invitation for audiences to support the channel on Patreon for uncut reactions and continued coverage of the entire series.

Guys, I'm already back with 1X2 of
Supernatural and this show is already
going crazy. I really am excited to get
into 1X2. Um, it's called Windigo.
Don't know really what that means, but
um, I'm sure it's one of those mythical
characters that I'm going to have to
learn about, but I've already learned
about the woman in white. I learned a
little bit about Sam and Dean. I learned
a little bit about dad who is missing.
Mom, RIP. Jessica, RIP. And
let's get into it, guys. If you want the
full uncut reaction, head over to our
Patreon. And if you want to watch other
movies, of course, um, we're kind of on
the 80 movie kick right now. Fantastic,
by the way. Um,
>> [music]
>> but yeah, like, comment, subscribe, hit
us on Patreon. Let's go.
>> [music]
>> Dude, you're cheating.
>> That's not camping, boys.
>> Hey, Haley. Day six. We're still out
near Blackwater Ridge. We're fine,
keeping safe. So, don't worry. Talk to
you tomorrow.
>> Hey, where you going?
>> My moment of victory. Nature calls.
>> I heard growling out there.
Don't go.
Don't die while you're peeing. That's
the worst.
>> [screaming]
>> Brad, Jerry, what's going on?
>> [gasps]
[screaming]
>> Uh-uh.
Dang, not the puka shell necklace.
>> [music]
>> Yo, said roses were were lame, so I
brought you a
>> spring mix.
>> Just
Oh god,
I should have protected you. I should
have told you the truth.
>> This show has too MANY JUMP SCARES.
>> [laughter]
[screaming]
>> IS HE OKAY?
>> YEAH, I'M FINE.
>> Another nightmare?
Want to drive for a while?
>> In your whole life, you never once asked
me that.
>> Just thought you might want to.
>> Never mind.
>> Look, man, you're worried about me. I
get it. And thank you, but I'm perfectly
okay.
>> No, you're not. Not after that
nightmare.
>> Where are we?
>> We are just outside of Grand Junction.
>> You know what? Maybe we shouldn't have
left Stanford so soon.
>> Say we dug around there for a week, we
came up with nothing. If you want to
find the thing that killed Jessica,
>> you got to find Dad first. Dad
disappearing and this thing showing up
again after 20 years, it's no
coincidence. Dad'll have answers, he'll
know what to do. It's weird, man.
>> Yeah, but why y'all women? That's all
men.
>> Blackwater Ridge.
>> What about it? There's nothing there.
It's just woods.
>> Why's he sending us to the middle of
nowhere?
>> So, Blackwater Ridge is pretty remote.
It's cut off by these canyons here.
Rough terrain, dense forest, abandoned
silver and gold mines all over the
place.
>> Dude, check out the size of this
freaking bear.
>> And a dozen or more grizzlies in the
area. It's no nature hike, that's for
sure.
>> You boys aren't planning to go out in
your Blackwater Ridge by any chance?
>> Oh, no, we're environmental studies
majors from UC Boulder. Just working on
a paper. Recycle, man.
>> Bull. [laughter]
You're friends with that Haley girl,
right?
>> Yes, we are. Ranger Wilkinson.
>> Well, I will tell you exactly what I
told her. Her brother filled out a back
country permit saying he wouldn't be
back from Blackwater until the 24th. So,
it's not exactly a missing person now,
is it? Tell that girl to quit worrying.
I'm sure her Your just fine.
>> We will.
>> Well, that Haley girl's quite a pistol,
huh?
>> That is putting it mildly. Actually, you
know what would help is if I could show
her a copy of that back country permit.
You know, so she could see her brother's
return date.
>> Are you cruising for a hookup or
something?
>> What do you mean?
>> The coordinates point to Blackwater
Ridge. So, what are we waiting for?
Let's just go find Dad. I mean, why even
talk to this girl?
>> I don't know. Maybe we should know where
we're walking into before we actually
walk into it.
>> What?
>> Well, since when do you all shoot first,
ask questions later, anyway?
>> Since now.
>> Yeah.
Cuz he's had some crazy stuff happen to
him.
>> You must be Haley Collins. I'm Dean.
This is Sam. We're We're rangers with
the park service. Ranger Wilkinson sent
us over. We wanted to ask you some
questions about your brother, Tommy.
>> Let me see some ID.
>> Here you go.
>> [laughter]
>> Scammer.
Come on in.
>> Thanks.
>> Is that yours?
>> Yeah.
>> Nice car.
>> So, if Tommy's not due back for a while,
how do you know something's wrong?
>> He checks in every day by cell. He
emails, photos, stupid little videos.
But, we haven't heard anything in over 3
days now.
>> Well, maybe he can't get cell reception.
>> He's got a satellite [clears throat]
phone, too.
>> Could it be he's just having fun and
forgot to check in?
>> He wouldn't do that. Our parents are
gone. It's just my two brothers and me.
We all keep pretty close tabs on each
other.
>> Can I see the pictures he sent you?
>> Yeah. That's Tommy.
>> I love how 2000s this is. Not just by
your outfit, but by the technology.
>> Day six. We're still out near Blackwater
Ridge. We're fine. Keep it safe. Don't
worry, okay? Talk to you tomorrow.
>> We'll find your brother. We're heading
out to Blackwater Ridge first thing.
>> Then maybe I'll see you there. I can't
sit around here anymore. So, I hired a
guide. I'm heading out in the morning
and I'm going to find Tommy myself.
[music]
>> I think I know how you feel. Hey, you
mind forwarding these to me?
>> Sure.
>> Blackwater Ridge doesn't get a lot of
traffic. Local campers, mostly. But,
still, this past April, two hikers went
missing out there. They were never
found.
>> Any before that?
>> Yeah. In 1982, eight different people
all vanished in the same year.
Authorities said [music] it was a
grizzly attack. And again in 1959 and
again before that in 1936.
Every 23 years, just like clockwork.
Okay, watch this. Here's the clincher.
>> What if it's Bigfoot?
>> I downloaded that guy Tommy's video to
the laptop. And check this out.
Do it again.
That's three frames. It's a fraction of
a second. Whatever that thing is, it can
move. Told you something weird was going
on. I got one more thing. In '59, one
camper survived the supposed grizzly
attack. Just a kid. Barely crawling out
of the woods alive. Is there a name?
>> Look, Ranger, I don't know why you're
asking me about this. It's public
record. I was a kid. My parents got
mauled by a
>> Grizzly? That's what attacked them?
The other people that went missing that
year, those bear attacks, too?
>> And the people that went missing this
year,
>> same thing?
>> If we knew what we were dealing with, we
might be able to stop it.
>> I seriously doubt that. Anyways, I don't
see what difference it would make.
You wouldn't believe me. Nobody ever
did.
>> I think they would.
>> Mr. Shaw, what did you see?
>> Nothing. It moved too fast to see. It
moved well. Heard it though. A roar like
no man or animal I ever heard.
>> It came at night, got inside your tent.
>> It got inside our cabin. I was sleeping
in front of the fireplace when it came
in. It didn't smash a window or break
the door. It unlocked it.
Do you know of a bear that could do
something like that?
>> Mhm.
>> I didn't even wake up till I
>> Not even when you ate the food?
>> It killed him?
>> Dragged him off into the night. Why it
left me alive, been asking myself that
ever since.
Did leave me this though.
>> Four slash marks.
>> There's something evil in those woods.
It was some sort of a demon.
>> Spirits and demons don't have to unlock
doors if they want inside. They just go
through the walls.
>> So it's probably something else,
something corporeal.
>> Corporeal? Excuse me, Professor?
>> Shut up. So what do you think? The
claws, the speed that it moves.
>> Could be a skin walker.
>> Maybe a black dog.
>> Whatever we're talking about, we're
talking about a creature and it's
corporeal, which means we can kill it.
>> I don't even know what animal or
mythical anything to call that.
But I think of the like that Pokémon
that looks like this.
>> Oh, yeah. What are we going to tell her?
She can't go into the woods because of a
big scary monster?
>> Yeah.
>> Her brother's missing, [music] Sam.
She's not just going to sit this out.
No, we go with her, we protect her, and
we keep our eyes peeled for our fuzzy
predator friend.
>> Finding dad is not enough. Now we got to
babysit, too?
>> What?
>> Nothing.
I'll tell you again, I don't think Ben
should come.
>> Roy.
>> Look, you're paying me good money to
keep everybody safe. I think Ben is
safest at home.
You guys got room for two more?
>> Wait, you want to come with us?
>> Who are these guys?
>> Apparently, this is all the park service
could muster up for the search and
rescue.
>> You're rangers?
>> That's right.
>> And you're hiking out in biker boots and
jeans?
>> What's we heard out on these shorts?
>> [laughter]
>> Are you think this is funny?
>> of those.
>> It's dangerous back country out there.
Her brother might be hurt.
>> Believe me, I know how dangerous it can
be. We just want to help them find their
brother, that's all.
>> They're hanging
up.
That reminds me of Far Cry, just saying.
>> Roy, you said you did a little hunting.
>> More than a little.
>> What other furry critters do you hunt?
>> Mostly buck, sometimes bear.
>> Tell me, uh, Bambi or Yogi ever hunt you
back?
>> What you doing, Roy?
>> Oh.
>> You should watch where you're stepping,
ranger.
>> Imposter. You almost got bear trapped.
>> What's a bear trap?
>> It had got me, too.
>> any provisions. You guys are carrying a
duffel bag. You're not rangers. So, who
the hell are you?
>> Sam and I are brothers, and we're
looking for our father. He might be
here, we don't know. I just figured that
you and me were in the same boat.
>> Why didn't you just tell me that from
the start?
>> I'm telling you now. Besides, it's
probably the most honest I've ever been
with a woman.
>> [laughter]
>> Ever.
So, we okay?
>> That's not good.
>> [laughter]
>> Yeah.
>> And what do you mean I didn't pack
provisions?
>> Is that peanut M&M's?
That's [snorts] provisions. Me and my
son jokingly call that trail mix because
he doesn't eat the um
raisins or the nuts.
>> This is it. Blackwater Ridge.
>> What coordinates are we at?
>> 35 -111.
>> Did you hear that?
>> Yeah. Not even crickets.
>> I'm going to go take a look around.
>> You shouldn't go off by yourself.
>> That's sweet. Don't worry about me.
>> See you later, dude. See you on the
other side. That's what always happens.
>> All right, everybody stays together.
Let's go.
>> And he's got earbuds in.
>> Hayley, over here.
>> Oh my god.
>> Looks like a grizzly.
>> Mhm.
I hope one of y'all has a sedative dart.
>> Tommy.
Tommy.
WHY?
>> SOMETHING MIGHT STILL BE OUT THERE.
>> DAMN.
>> The bodies were dragged from the
campsite, but here the tracks just
vanish. It's weird. I'll tell you what,
it's no skinwalker or black dog.
>> Um
>> Hey, it could still be alive.
>> [music]
>> Help!
>> [screaming]
>> It's in here. like it was coming from
around here, didn't it?
Look up. Look up.
>> Everybody back to camp.
>> Our packs.
>> So much for my GPS and my satellite
phone.
>> What the hell's going on?
>> It's smart. It wants to cut us off so we
can't call for help.
>> You mean someone, some nut job out there
just stole all our gear?
>> I need to speak with you in private.
Let me see that journal. Check that out.
>> The claw.
>> Wendigos are in the Minnesota woods or
or northern Michigan. I've never even
heard of one this far west.
>> Think about it, Dean. The claws, the way
it can mimic a human voice.
>> So it that it was making that noise?
>> Well, then this is useless.
>> So what do you use?
>> get these people to safety. All right,
listen up. It's time to go. Things have
gotten more complicated.
>> What?
>> Kid, don't worry. Whatever's out there,
I think I can handle it.
>> It's not me I'm worried about. If you
shoot this thing, you're just going to
make it mad. We have to leave now.
>> One, you're talking nonsense. Two,
you're in no position to give anybody
orders.
>> Relax.
>> We never should have let you come out
here in the first place, all right? I'm
trying to protect you.
>> You protect me? I was hunting these
woods when your mommy was still kissing
you good night.
>> Yeah, it's a damn near perfect hunter.
Smarter than you, and it's going to hunt
you down and eat you alive. I suggest
you get your stupid sorry ass out of
here.
>> [laughter]
>> You know you're crazy, right?
>> Yeah? You ever hunt a win
>> Why?
>> Chill out.
>> Stop it. Everybody just stop. Tommy
might still be alive, and I'm not
leaving here without him.
>> It's getting late. [music]
>> Oh, night time.
>> is a good hunter in the day, but an
unbelievable hunter at night. We'll
never beat it, not in the dark. We need
to settle in [music] and protect
ourselves.
>> How?
One more time, that's
>> Anasazi symbols. It's for protection.
The Wendigo can't cross over.
>> Anasazi.
>> Nobody likes a skeptic, Roy.
>> You want to tell me what's going on in
that freaky head of yours?
>> I'm fine.
>> No, you're not fine. You're like a
powder keg, man. It's not like you. I'm
supposed to be the belligerent one,
remember?
>> Dad's not here. I mean, that much we
know for sure, right? He would have left
us a message, a sign, right?
>> Yeah, you're probably right.
>> But he gave you the coordinates.
>> To tell you the truth, I don't think
Dad's ever been to Lost Creek.
>> Oh.
>> So, let's get these people back to town,
and let's hit the road. Go find Dad. I
mean, why are we still even here?
This is why. This book. This is Dad's
single most valuable possession.
Everything he knows about every evil
thing is in here, and he's passed it on
to us. I think he wants us to pick up
where he left off. You know, saving
people, hunting things, the family
business.
>> The family business.
>> That makes no sense. Why Why doesn't he
just call us? Why doesn't he tell us
what he wants? Tell us where he is. I
don't know.
But the way I see it, Dad's given us a
job to do, and I intend to do it.
>> Dean.
>> No, I got to find Dad. I got to find
Jessica's killer.
>> Oh, so he's like, pick up where he left
off. He's like, I got to find Dad.
>> It's the only thing I can think about.
>> Okay. All right, Sam, we'll find them. I
promise. Listen to me. You've got to
prepare yourself. I mean, this search
could take a while, and all that anger,
you can't [music] keep it burning over
the long haul. It's going to kill you.
You got to have patience, man.
>> How do you do it?
How does Dad do it?
>> Well, for one, them. I mean, I figure
our family's so screwed to hell, maybe
we can help some others.
>> Aw.
>> Makes things a little bit more bearable.
>> Wholesome.
>> I'll tell you what else helps. Killing
as many evil sons of [ __ ] [music] as
I POSSIBLY CAN.
>> HELP ME!
>> Not all heroes wear capes.
>> It's trying to draw us out. Just stay
cool, stay put inside the MAGIC CIRCLE.
>> HELP!
>> [screaming and groaning]
>> HELP ME!
>> OKAY, THAT'S NO GRIZZLY.
>> I DON'T WANT TO SEE IT.
Be like Jaws, where we barely see it.
>> It's here.
>> WE'RE GETTING IT.
>> ROY, NO!
>> ROY, you dumb.
>> It's over here!
There's a tree!
>> I mean, these [music] types of things
they aren't supposed to be real.
>> I wish I could tell you different.
>> How do we know it's not out there
watching us?
>> We don't.
But we're safe for now.
>> How do you know about this stuff?
>> My dad's book.
>> Kind of runs in the family.
>> Hey. So, we've got to have a chance in
the daylight.
And I, for one, want to kill this evil
son of a [ __ ]
>> Well, hell, you know I'm in.
>> Wendigo is a Cree Indian word. It means
evil that devours.
>> They're hundreds of years old. Each one
was once a man, sometimes an Indian or
other times a frontiersman or a miner or
a hunter.
>> How does a man turn into one of those
things?
>> Well, it's always the same. During some
harsh winter, guy finds himself
starving, cut off from supplies or help.
Becomes a cannibal to survive, eating
other members of his tribe or camp.
>> Like the Donner Party.
>> Cultures all over the world believe that
eating human flesh gives a person
certain abilities, speed, strength,
immortality.
>> If you eat enough of it over years, you
become this less than human thing.
You're always hungry.
>> So, if [music] that's true, how can
Tommy still be alive?
>> You're not going to like it.
>> Tell me.
>> More than anything, a Wendigo knows how
to last long winters without food. It
hibernates for years at a time. When
it's awake, it keeps its victims alive,
but uh it stores them. So, [music] it
can feed whenever it wants.
>> Oh my god.
>> brother's alive, it's keeping him
somewhere dark, hidden, and safe. And we
got to track it back there.
>> And then how do we stop it?
>> Guns are useless, so are knives.
Basically, we got to torch the sucker.
>> Oh my god. It's like a clicker on Last
of Us.
>> What is it?
>> I was thinking that those claw prints so
clear in this thing were almost too easy
to follow.
>> [screaming]
>> I'm so sick of blood droplets.
>> Okay, run, run, run, run, run, GO, GO,
GO.
>> [screaming]
>> HAYLEY!
>> I DON'T WANT TO SEE.
>> DEAN!
>> If it keeps its victims [music] alive,
why would it kill Roy?
>> I think because Roy shot at it. He
pissed it off.
>> Dean's nearby.
>> They went this way.
>> [music]
>> It's better than breadcrumbs.
>> Uh-uh.
Oh.
Some places tell you don't come in,
don't, you know? There's reasons.
I don't know if I could keep quiet if I
saw that. I'd be like
I think I'd be like
>> Oh, [ __ ]
>> It's ghosts.
>> [music]
[groaning]
>> Dean.
Hayley, wake up.
>> Oh my god.
>> You okay?
>> Yeah.
>> Hayley, wake up.
Wake up. Make sure you're all right.
>> Yeah.
Yeah, where is it?
>> It's gone for now.
>> Stop looking LIKE THAT, LADY.
>> IS HE GOOD?
>> Cut him down.
>> We're going to get you home.
>> Check it out. Flare guns. Those will
work.
>> Oh no.
>> So if someone's home for supper
>> We'll never outrun it.
>> You think what I'm thinking?
>> Yeah, I think so.
>> Blast it?
>> All right, listen to me. Stay with Sam,
he's going to get you out of here.
>> What are you going to do?
>> SHOWTIME, YOU FREAKY BASTARD.
>> YEAH, THAT'S RIGHT.
>> BRING IT ON, BABY.
>> I THINK UH
>> HOPE THAT WORKS.
>> WORKS.
HEY, YOU WANT SOME WHITE MEAT, [ __ ]
>> [laughter]
>> I'M RIGHT HERE.
>> [music]
>> I MEANT TO TELL Y'ALL I'VE only seen him
in one other role, and that was Soldier
Boy on The Boys.
It just ain't the same.
>> Sam, no.
>> Go.
Go.
>> GO.
>> OH, PLEASE.
THAT looked like a decayed gargoyle.
>> [screaming]
>> What's the play?
>> Not bad, huh?
That's when it circled the campsite.
[music] I mean, this
>> Don't you just save those woods.
>> 800, 900 lbs.
>> So really, I don't know how to thank
you.
Must be cheap in the moment.
>> Yeah.
>> You riding with your brother?
>> Yeah.
>> Let's go.
I hope you find your father.
Thanks, Sam.
>> Aw, they were a nice family.
>> Man, I hate camping.
>> Me, too.
>> Sam, you know we're going to find Dad,
right?
>> Yeah, I know.
But in the meantime, I'm driving.
>> For some reason, I thought he was going
to say chili cheese dogs. [laughter]
>> [music]
>> All right, that was episode two and um I
guess we have another critter under our
belt. It's called a Wendigo. I think
that's how you pronounce
I think that's how you pronounce it and
um
it's basically like a human that was
forced into cannibalism and it lives for
hundreds of years. So, that was not only
very creepy, but that episode was kind
of riveting and stressful and kind of
annoying cuz in a weird way I kind of
like the camp and um I think that one's
going to stick with me like having that
image of
you know, shadows crossing your tent.
How creepy.
But, I like that we got to know a little
bit of more about Sam and Dean um
not in the sense like we got to know all
their background, but we can just tell
like
that they're very family-oriented and um
I guess when they lost their mom, all
they really had was their dad. So, they
kind of like lived off their dad's weird
like
you know, if you're scared of something
in the closet, here's a .45 type of
raising them
um
I'm really liking where this is going
and I can't wait to watch more episodes.
Um hopefully you guys support it and I I
continue this whole journey on YouTube I
cuz like I said, I really don't know how
far I know for sure I'm going to finish
on Patreon. I'm not sure about YouTube,
but if you guys continue to support it,
we'll definitely watch all 327 episodes
over there.
And if you guys want to see the full
uncut reaction, head over to Patreon and
I'll see you guys in the next one.
