Trivia:

Ogdenville, North Haverbrook, and Brockway are names of cities that Sam mentions in an episode in season one. These are made up cities where Lyle Lanley from The Simpson's universe made monorails in the episode "Marge v. the Monorail"

Goofs:

Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): When Dean and Sam enter Fitchburg, WI, the name of the city is spelled incorrectly on the population sign [Fitchberg], despite being spelled correctly on a billboard behind the sign.

Quotes:

Sam Winchester: He will always know there are things out there in the dark. He'll never be the same, you know? Sometimes I wish that...
Dean Winchester: What?
Sam Winchester: I wish I could have that kind of innocence.
Dean Winchester: If it means anything, sometimes I wish you could, too.

One of the Best Episodes So Far

John Winchester sends the coordinates of Fitchburg, Wisconsin, to Dean and Sam, where children are mysteriously getting sick and their bodies running out. They lodge in a motel, and after their investigation, they realize that a Shtriga, an Albanian witch that feeds of life-force of children, is attacking the local children. Further, The Shtriga is only vulnerable while feeding. When the young brother of Michael, the son of the owner of the motel, is attacked, Dean convinces him to be the bait to kill The Shtriga.

"Something Wicked" is one of the best episodes so far of "Supernatural", where it is exposed why Dean follows the orders of John Winchester without any question. The great story discloses an event in the childhood of Dean and Sam in parallel to their hunting of The Shtriga. My vote is ten.
