The Hardy Boys Go Native
Updated 2005-11-13 16:00:00
Sam and Dean travel to an Oklahoman exurb to investigate the mysterious death (i.e., brains eaten out of his head) of a construction worker. After finding a couple of beetles at the crime scene, Sam is understandably suspicious. At a neighborhood barbecue, Sam and Dean are mistaken for a gay couple, and meet a teenaged boy obsessed with bugs. The kid is the son of the exurb's developer. He leads Sam and Dean to a secret spot in the woods, where Sam shows them a bone. No, not that kind! Real, actual bones, which they take first to a tweedy anthropology professor and then to a real live Injun! Whose Poltergeist story about cursed burial grounds visiting revenge upon Whitey through bug violence is accompanied by rattlesnake percussion! Sam and Dean rush to warn the developer and his family, but arrive just as the swarm of bugs descends. They all pile into the attic where they endure a bug attack for approximately three minutes before it turns into dawn and the curse is broken. The excitement was nearly too much to bear. I should give credit where credit is due, though. They were also protected by Dean and the weeniest "flamethrower" ever devised by man.
