I have to admit, this was NOT my favorite episode. I considered skipping it because of all the bad reviews; however, i didn't and I'm glad for that.

While it wasn't the best episode, it had its moments, like the "I love you....I truly love you." part.

Sam and Dean run into the ghost hunter-wannabe's from Hellhouselayer.com again, and the entire episode is filmed in shakycam.

4.0

There have been some bad episodes. A bunch of boring episodes in season 2, the bug episode in season 1, and a few others that just weren't enjoyable, but this episode... This episode takes the cake. This is not only the worst episode of season 3 but one of the worst so far.

First off, why in the name of all that is holy did they bring back the two most annoying characters in the show? Who are they appealing to? Well, I guess they're appealing to someone, seeing this episode's rating.

It's annoying. It's unnecessary. It is not funny. It is not cute. It is not entertaining. After thinking "wow, so much is going on in season 3! It's probably the beast season yet!) Now this? Since when does Dean let some fool stick a camera in his face while he's doing his job? Since it's a novelty episode, that's when.

The truth is, it was after the writer's strike, it was a way for them to churn out a cheap episode, and it doesn't contribute anything at all. You can skip this episode and you will not be punished for it. You will, in fact, be reward. You will be rewarded by using your time to do something enjoyable instead of suffering through this episode.moreless

Dean and Sam work with some wannable ghosthunters creating their own reality tv show.

1.0

By waisal14, Dec 08, 2011

This episode could of done a whole lot better if the focus of the episode was focused more on Dean and Sam than the wannable ghost hunters. The ghostfacers episode did not contribute to the over-arching season storyline. The producers could of put something better together by focusing on Deans and Sams relationship. The entire show is about their relationship and the personal conflicts they come across. I like the show describes how the brothers confront the problem, how they work it out, how they get past it, and if the situation pulls them apart or closer. That is the reason why I like the show so much to explain the importance of the bond brothers share.moreless

ADD TRIVIA
- When Dean busts through the bomb shelter door Sam is wearing the party hat, but when he goes to untie Sam the hat is gone.
  EDIT SHARE
- When the second echo shows up Dean asks the Ghostfacers if it was the same echo they saw before. Sam and Dean watched the video of the first echo so they would have known it was not the same one.
  EDIT SHARE
- When Ed and Harry entered the house, we can see that Ed was wearing night vision goggles while Harry was holding a flashlight pointing from time to time at Ed. The light from the flashlight can destroy the goggles and temporarily blind the one who was wearing them during that time.
  EDIT SHARE
- This is the first episode where we hear (albeit bleeped) and see crude, "four letter" profanity from the Winchester brothers.

  Ed: Hmmm, we know you've had it hard during the crippling writers' strike.
  Harry: Lazy fat cats.
  Ed: Who needs writers when you've got guys like us? Our team faced horrible horrors to bring you the footage that will change your world forever. So strap in for the scariest hour in the history of television.
  Harry: In the history of your life.
  Ed: Strap in for….
  Together: Ghostfacers!

  EDIT SHARE
- Harry: You know, Corbett, we just, oh gosh, we just like to think that you're out there watching over us.
  Ed: As far as we're concerned you're not an intern anymore. You have more than earned full Ghostfacer status. Plus it would be cool to have a ghost on the team.
  EDIT SHARE
- Dean: Listen, you and Rambo need to get the hell outta here.
  Ed: (laughs) Listen here, Chisel Chest, okay, we were here first. We've already set up base camp and we beat you.

  EDIT SHARE
- Sam: I mean, it's bizarre how y'all able to, to honor Corbett's memory while grossly exploiting the manner of his death. Well done.

  Sam: You got two months left. Instead, we're gonna die tonight.

- Sam: Daggett was the Norman Bates stuff-your-mother kind of lonely.
  Referencing Alfred Hitchcock's 1960 movie Psycho starring Anthony Perkins and Janet Leigh. Perkins plays Norman Bates, a hotel owner suffering from a split personality, who pretends to be his dead mother and kills anyone unfortunate enough to cross "her" path.
