Supernatural is dark, scary, suspenseful — and sometimes, completely ridiculous. Here are 25 of the weirdest episodes so far.
"Bad Day at Black Rock" (Season 3, Episode 3)
What makes it weird: After happening upon a lucky rabbit's foot, Sam's luck drastically improves — he wins thousands of dollars in a lottery and finds a gold watch. But once he loses the foot, he loses his luck. And his shoe.
Does it work: Yes! It's wacky and delightful. Sam's reaction to losing his shoe remains one of his most precious moments ever.

"A Very Supernatural Christmas" (Season 3, Episode 8)
What makes it weird: When people start disappearing up their chimneys at Christmas, Sam and Dean suspect that an evil Santa is responsible. They end up discovering a far more diabolical enemy, pagan gods disguised as a sweet suburban couple.
Does it work: Yep. The episode is funny and surprisingly dark. As fun as an evil Santa would have been, the killer suburbanites are a nice touch.
Warner Bros.
"LARP and the Real Girl" (Season 8, Episode 11)
What makes it weird: Sorry, LARPers — LARPing (that is, Live Action Role-Playing) is inherently weird. Sam and Dean going undercover (and getting kind of into it) makes it all that much weirder. Also, there's a fairy.
Does it work: Despite Supernatural's occasional unkindness to the nerd community, this episode is pretty great. It helps that Charlie (Felicia Day) gets to mack on the hot fairy.
Warner Bros.
"Ghostfacers" (Season 3, Episode 13)
What makes it weird: Sam and Dean find themselves in the middle of a reality show when they bump into wannabe ghost hunters filming the pilot of Ghostfacers. And yes, it's basically SyFy's Ghost Hunters but way less professional.
Does it work: It really does. Ed (A.J. Buckley) and Harry (Travis Wester) are so much fun they got their own web series. And they also show up in the next episode on the list.
