SUPERNATURAL: THE COMPLETE NINTH SEASON | © 2014 Warner Home Video

When Eric Kripke created SUPERNATURAL, it’s a safe bet that neither he nor the CW network had any idea that the mélange of brotherly love, monsters, mythology, dead-serious drama and surreal comedy would be one of the few shows that would make it to twelve seasons (so far). This weekend, Southern California fans of SUPERNATURAL can commune with their peers and question the series’ actors – including stars Jared Padalecki (Sam Winchester), Jensen Ackles (Dean Winchester), Misha Collins (Castiel) and Mark A. Sheppard (Crowley) – at the Friday-Sunday Nov. 11-13 Creation Entertainment SUPERNATURAL Official Convention at the Burbank Marriott Hotel. […]Read On »
