Hollywood Babylon is the 18th episode of Season 2. It premiered on April 19th, 2007.
Sam and Dean make a trip to Hollywood to investigate the death of one of the actors on a horror film set after rumors begin that he was killed by a ghost. They discover the death was a publicity hoax but when the executive producer and a studio executive are killed, Sam and Dean realize they are dealing with a haunted set. Gary Cole guest stars as ...
On the set of Hell Hazers II: The Reckoning, being directed by McG, a stage hand is killed and the star of the movie, Tara Benchley, reports seeing an apparition near the body.
Dean has convinced Sam to come to Los Angeles for a break after the death of Madison, but Sam wants to throw himself into work. Dean, a movie buff, becomes enthusiastic as he discovers the movie is a horror movie starring one of his favorite actresses, Tara.
It doesn't take the boys long on the set to discover that the stage hand's death was faked by the studio executives to promote interest in the movie. But then a studio executive, Brad Redding, dies in the middle of the set after encountering a ghost. Dean goes undercover, joining the crew as a PA, a job he embraces. The boys discover that a young actress killed herself in the 1930s after being wooed and then dumped and fired by a studio executive. They find her buried at the Hollywood Forever Cemetery, where they salt and burn her bones.
Meanwhile, an executive producer, Jay Wiley, wanders around the set. He encounters a different ghost. He is killed after being pulled into a large stage fan. After Jay Wiley is killed, Sam notices that the Latin in the movie script is a real summoning ritual. They confront the writer, Martin Flagg, who admits that any authentic rituals in the script are all that remained from the original script by writer Walter Dixon.
Dixon lures Flagg onto the set to kill him, but Sam and Dean arrive in time to save him. Dixon admits that he was conjuring real ghosts and forcing them to kill those he saw as responsible for ruining his script. Before they can stop him, Walter destroys the talisman he was using. This frees the spirits who, enraged at being used to murder people, turn on Walter and kill him.
The production of the movie continues, with Martin incorporating his experiences with the ghosts into the script. Sam finds Dean emerging disheveled and with a post-coital glow from Tara's trailer. Sam and Dean walk off into the sunset together - until it is wheeled away and revealed as just another Hollywood prop.
Main Cast
•Jared Padalecki as Sam Winchester •Jensen Ackles as Dean Winchester
•Vengeful Spirits (Elise Drummond, Billy Beard, Stage ghosts)
•Poltergeist (mentioned only)
•Dean mentions Madison and her death from the previous episode.
•The first episode in the series without Dean's beloved Impala.
•While on the tour of the lot, the tour guide mentions they are passing the set of Gilmore Girls and that they may see one of the stars, at which point Sam looks really surprised and uncomfortable and decides to leave. This is a shout out to Jared Padalecki and his role on Gilmore Girls. Coincidentally, his character was named Dean.
•The reference to the Lois and Clark TV series could be a reference to Jensen Ackles being on Smallville (both series about Superman), but because Smallville was filming during the episode's production a direct reference may not have been permitted.
•Dean thinks he saw Matt Damon. Sam denies this, because the mentioned person is sweeping the floor, to which Dean replies that probably he is doing research for a new role. This is a reference to Matt Damon's role in Good Will Hunting.
•Sam remarks the weather is pretty crappy for L.A., and that it's practically Canadian. This episode—and the majority of the show—was filmed in British Columbia, Canada. That explains the pine forests in the backgrounds of exterior shots, as the real Los Angeles would feature hills and palm trees.
•Dean mentions Tara's (fictional) role in Boogeyman and she says, "God, what a terrible script." This is a good-natured jab at Eric Kripke, who developed the story and helped write the screenplay for the film.
•The fact that Tara likes to take Polaroids of the cast to kill time is a reflection of Jensen Ackles' pastime on set - taking photos of his fellow cast and crew members between takes.
