Other Miscellaneous Information

  1. Yes, the Winchester Mystery House is a real thing. It's a twisted mansion with 10,000 windows, 2,000 doors, 47 fireplaces, 40 staircases, and 13 bathrooms, but it's never been featured on the show. It's widely speculated that this is how the brothers got their name!
  2. One of the show's most powerful demons is named after famed occultist Aleister Crowley. Mark Sheppard (who plays Supernatural's King of Hell, Crowley) explained the reference in an interview: "It's always a nod to Aleister Crowley. Everything has always been a nod to Aleister Crowley."
  3. Jensen Ackles has directed five episodes to date. His first was "Weekend at Bobby's" in 2010. His most recent was "The Bad Seed" in 2015.
  4. Ackles's father has appeared in an episode of Supernatural! He was in the show's eighth season, in the episode titled "Heartache." He plays Detective Pike.
  5. Ackles's and Padalecki's quotes about seeing each other for the first time are hilarious. The two met on the Warner Bros. lot for a "chemistry read" right after they snagged their respective parts. In a chat with Entertainment Tonight, Ackles described Padalecki as "this one gangly-looking, long-haired frat boy, with his long hair and his hoodie." In a quote to Variety, Padalecki said, "I'm sitting there, and in walks this really pretty dude who I had never seen before." They really have come a long way, haven't they?
