10 Horror TV Shows With Terrifying Surprises

10. Demon Dean - Supernatural

The world feels weird without Supernatural. It ran for fifteen years and boasted over 300 episodes, plus it had one of the most uh… passionate fanbases of any television show. For all its highs and lows, monster hunting brothers Sam and Dean Winchester will sorely missed for a long time.

The show, being as long s it was, often had to come up with new ideas to keep it going (killing off the main characters over and over again lost its’ impact pretty quickly). One of the most shocking twists occurred at the end of season nine, when Jensen Ackles’ Dean is killed by Metatron, the Scribe of God.

Prior to his death however, Dean was afflicted with the Mark of Cain, which prevented his death from being permanent. The demon Crowley hands Dean a weapon known as The First Blade, and the camera lingers on Dean’s unmoving face for a few moments. The his eyes open, and they are pitch black: the eyes of a demon.

This cliff-hanger caused a huge amount of theorising within the always energetic Supernatural fandom, as what became known as Deanmon became one of the show’s most surprising twists. It was hauntingly foreshadowed back in Season 3, but seeing Dean become the thing he hated most was nothing short of jaw-dropping.
