Part quest fantasy, part family drama and part scare−the−kernels−out −of−your−popcorn fright flick, "Supernatural" opens 20 years ago on a horrifying night for the Winchester clan, when a shadowy figure appeared at the cribside of infant Sam, then whisked mother Mary away to a fiery death. Sam (Jared Padalecki, "Gilmore Girls"), now a college student, has no memory of that awful night, unlike his older brother, Dean (Jensen Ackles, "Smallville"), who willingly joined his father's obsessive quest to find the key to Mary's disappearance. That's why Sam has distinctly mixed emotions when Dean, whom he hasn't seen for four years, suddenly turns up with news that their father has disappeared as well. "Sam is struggling with his destiny, trying to figure out whether he has a choice in this," Padalecki says of his character. "He has fought it as long as he can, from the day he could get out of the house and away from his father and brother and the life he was born into. He has been trying to convince himself that he could just live a normal life. He finds out slowly but surely that he can't choose his own destiny." "I think there definitely was a conflict of interest as they were growing up together with their dad inflicting his life mission upon our characters," Ackles says. "Dean was very receptive to it, being the age that he was when their mother was taken away. He was able to process it and understand, to the extent that he could, what that meant. "Sam was just a baby and had no emotional ties to the situation, whereas Dean wanted to be a part of his dad's mission. Sam was forced into it, though, and the first chance he got, he split. A few years later, you have Dean coming to Sam and asking for his help, knowing that he's 'Supernatural' Brothers Brave a Hidden Evil

Reluctantly, Sam joins Dean on what will turn into an extended quest for their missing father. Each episode will find the pair encountering and grappling with some occult entity or phenomenon. "[This is] kind of an obsession of mine, and a show that I've really wanted to do for the extent of my career," says "Supernatural" creator and executive producer Eric Kripke. "It's a show about American folklore and urban legends, sort of the idea that every town has a really great, terrifying ghost story. "We landed on this idea as a road show, the purity of literally just driving in and out of a different horror movie every week, a different small town where something dark and evil is lurking in the shadows. That just seemed like a very pure and stripped down and mythic way to tell this story." Ackles says the mythic resonance of the series is hard to miss. "This is definitely Joseph Campbell territory," he says. "Sam, especially, is a reluctant hero and, although I hope we really do scare viewers every week, it's the dynamic between these two brothers that will keep people coming back, I think." It helps that, even in the pilot, the two actors have a relaxed chemistry together that suggests a long−shared history. Ackles says he and Padalecki spent long hours together before production even began, physically training for their roles in anticipation of the long work days to follow. "We did a 17−hour day yesterday, and we're back into it today," Ackles says. "And these days aren't spent in our trailers snoozing or watching DVDs. Jared and I are in almost every scene. We get a half−hour for lunch, so we try to scarf our food down as quickly as possible and grab a 15−minute nap." He pauses as a production assistant interrupts the interview to ask him to come try out a new prop, then continues. "See? That's what it's like." The two actors carried their sibling relationship off the show's Vancouver set recently when Ackles inadvertently led Padalecki into a real−life bar brawl that left the latter with a broken hand. "When we walked into the place, there had just been a fight inside the bar, but we didn't know that yet," Padalecki explains. "When we started hearing them talking about the fight, we decided it was best to leave, but when we went back to the front, the guys there thought we were some of the guys they had been fighting with so they basically continued the fight again."

'Supernatural' Brothers Brave a Hidden Evil "It was life imitating art," Ackles jokes. "I've just got to play the role of older brother and show this young whippersnapper how they do things in Vancouver." Series creator Kripke insists that "Supernatural" will not be one long tease as far as its core mystery is concerned, and he promises to answer questions on a regular basis, "then ask several larger, even more difficult questions," he adds. "So I think Dad may be making an appearance somewhere during this first season in an unexpected way." Although "Supernatural" is bowing in a season that is unusually heavy with other spooky series, including "The Night Stalker" on ABC and "The Ghost Whisperer" on CBS, another executive producer on the WB series, the film director McG, says "Supernatural" stands out from the rest of the pack for a very simple reason. "This is the show that's designed to make it difficult to go to sleep that night after you watch it," he says. "If you watch it by yourself, you're in trouble, because you're going to be looking behind the door and your mind is going to be playing tricks on you a little bit. And that's just a delicious feeling."
