Join Krissy and Nate as they tackle Supernatural‘s Season 9 Episode 15 “#THINMAN,” where the infamous Ghost Facers make their final appearance in the series. This monster-of-the-week episode takes a dark turn when what seems like a supernatural entity turns out to be something far more sinister – human killers exploiting internet folklore.
The episode follows Sam and Dean investigating a mysterious death where a teenage girl is killed after capturing a creepy figure known as “The Thin Man” in her selfie. Their investigation leads them to cross paths with Ed and Harry of the Ghost Facers, who are desperately trying to prove the Thin Man’s existence. As tensions rise between the Winchester brothers over past betrayals, a parallel story unfolds as Ed’s own betrayal of Harry comes to light.
The true horror of the episode emerges when the Thin Man is revealed to be two local men – a deputy and a waiter – who are killing people for revenge and internet fame. In a poignant conclusion, Harry leaves the Ghost Facers behind after learning of Ed’s manipulation, marking the end of an era for these beloved recurring characters.
