This week on WHAT IN THE HELL IS SUPERNATURAL?, we’re diving headfirst into “Route 666” — the episode where Supernatural asked the important question:
“What if racism… but also evil ghost truck?”
Yes. Really.
This is the episode where Dean reconnects with an old girlfriend, Sam mostly stands around wondering what is happening, and an unstoppable phantom pickup truck starts turning people into highway salsa because hatred apparently survives death, combustion, and basic common sense.
And honestly?
This episode is fascinating.
Not because it’s perfect.
It absolutely is not.
But because this is one of the earliest moments where Supernatural tries to tackle something bigger than just “scary monster in spooky place.” It’s messy, awkward, occasionally heavy-handed, and sometimes feels like it was written by a haunted after-school special… but there’s still a lot to talk about here.
We’re discussing:
🚛 The world’s angriest ghost truck
😬 Early Supernatural trying VERY hard to handle serious social commentary
❤️ Dean Winchester briefly pretending he could have a normal life
🧂 Sam once again existing mainly to look concerned in the passenger seat
🔥 Why this episode feels completely different from almost every other Season One story
👻 The mechanics of ghost vehicles because apparently that’s a sentence we have to say now
💀 The absolute horror of being murdered by a racist Dodge Ram from beyond the grave
We’ll also talk about why “Route 666” has become one of the most divisive episodes in the entire series — and whether it actually deserves the reputation it has among fans.
Is it flawed?
Absolutely.
Is it boring?
Not even remotely.
Because anytime a television show gives us a demonic hate-crime monster truck, we as a society are required to discuss it.
So grab the salt, the iron, and whatever supernatural insurance policy covers vehicular haunting incidents as we revisit one of the strangest episodes of early Supernatural.
