Halloween is never a huge affair for hunters. Tracking and hunting the supernatural, the ghosts and ghouls of Halloween traditions are simply part of everyday life. The only tradition the Winchesters took part in was the "eat a shitload of candy" part. And even that was pretty one-sided.
So that's why Sam and Dean were pretty surprised when Gabriel suddenly popped up in their motel living room on October 31st with a huge bowl of popcorn and a copy of Rocky Horror Picture Show.
"Let's get this party started!" The angel exclaimed. Dean gave him a skeptical look.
"Sorry birdboy, but if you think we're going to watch a guy dance around in lingerie with you, you've got another thing coming." He said, tossing his candy wrapper aside and reaching for another.
"Fine. Then you don't get any popcorn." Gabriel said sulkily, setting the bowl down in the floor and starting towards the TV.
"Does this thing have a DVD player?" He mused to himself, taking the DVD out of it's case. Sam laughed.
"Dude, we are not watching that with you."
"Yeah, besides - Charlie Brown's on." Dean added, mouth full of chocolate.
Gabriel rolled his eyes, turning back to them. "Come'on boys, it's a classic! Don't make me force you." He warned.
Dean leaned forward on the edge of the bed, looking at the angel seriously. "So let me get this straight. You're going to force us to watch the tranny in the sequins? I don't think I've had enough alcohol for this," He added to Sam.
"Tell you what - if you hate it, I'll turn it off." Gabriel crossed his arms, waiting for an answer. Soon Sam sighed, rolling his eyes.
"Fine. Deal. But remember, if it's bad, it's off. Got it?"
Gabriel grinned. "Roger that, Sammy-boy." He turned back to find the wretched DVD player. After a few minutes, he snapped his fingers impatiently. The words "THE ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW" appeared on the screen in red letters against a black. Suddenly, the words faded away to a ruby red pair of lips which began to sing.
Michael Rennie was ill the day the earth stood still
But he told us where we stand
And Flash Gordon was there in silver underwear
Claude Raines was the invisible man
Gabriel started to mouth the words. Dean and Sam exchanged glance. The lips on the screen were surprisingly distracting. Dean sighed, reaching for another chocolate bar.
Science Fiction Double Feature

See androids fighting Brad and Janet
Anne Francis stars in Forbidden Planet
Oh-oh at the late night, double feature, picture show.
Sam frowned to himself. These lyrics just didn't make any sense. They were basically made up of a bunch of movie references from the 70s. God knows how weird the rest of this movie would be. So after about 3 and a half minutes of the gibberish, Sam walked over to the T.V. set and turned it off, much to the confusion of the angel.
Anne Francis stars in Forbidden Planet

I wanna go, oh-oh, to the late night-*click!*
"Wai-hey! What are you doing?!" Gabriel stood up.
"I hate it. So it's off. That was the deal, Gabriel."
Gabriel frowned and opened his mouth as if he wanted to protest. But after a moment, a grin replaced the angry look on his face and he straightened.
"Alright. Fine. I'll leave." He bent down, picked up his bowl of popcorn with as much dignity as he could muster, and started for the door. Sam and Dean exchanged glances as they had not expected it to be that easy.
"But hear this, boys," Gabriel turned on his heel, his usual mischievous expression in place. "You'll regret this. Trust me." And he disappeared down the hall.
Sam frowned and turned to Dean. "Should we be worried?"
Dean thought for a second. "Naw. Besides, what's the worst he can do?"
