Scenes I Love . . .
"Dead Man's Blood" (cont.)
As the Winchesters quietly drop into the barn through an upper-level hatch, we get our first sight of the vampires sleeping arrangement, and the show adds yet another innovation in the form of burlap hammocks which, as set decorator George Neuman notes are “much easier to travel around with than coffins.” (The Supernatural Official Season 1 Companion p.109)
The show does a great job of creating tension as the Winchesters creep around between the sleeping vampires. Apparently, they sleep very soundly, however, not waking even when Dean bumps into one of the hammocks.
Inching toward it, he almost has it when shit hits the fan.
As Sam tries to untie the girl from the pole she begins to stir. “Hey. Hey hey, shh, I'm here to help you,” he whispers, but now fully awake, she screams, a feral roar that succeeds in finally rousing all the vampires.
Waking to find John, Luther flings him clear across the room, demonstrating vampiric strength that doesn’t always seem so evident in later seasons.
Quick thinking, John picks up a bottle and flings it through the blackened window, shattering it.
Now we see where Dean gets his renowned ability to utilise anything at hand as a weapon. 😁
“Abort! Abort!” John yells, and the brothers make a dash for it out of the barn and up the hill, stopping to look back and call for their father. Tense moments pass before he finally appears. “They won't follow. They'll wait till tonight,” he assures the brothers. “Once a vampire has your scent, it's for life.”
Portentous words, it turns out. (IYKYK 😬)
Dean pulls his head back in a double take, and the brothers at each other, mystified.

Oops!
Or when the brothers try to rescue the victims.
Finding a group of victims locked in a cage, Dean dismisses trying to break a padlock, using a hook to lever off a hinge instead. The noise stirs the vampires but doesn’t wake them.
Meanwhile, John has found a separate room where Luther and Kate are sleeping, and sees the Colt holstered over their bedstead.
Inching toward it, he almost has it when shit hits the fan.

DEAN
Well what the hell do we do now?
JOHN
You gotta find the nearest funeral home, that's what.
