Eric Kripke is '''Series Creator and Executive Consultant'''. He was the showrunner for seasons 1-5. He stayed in a writer/executive producer role for season six and has been executive consultant since season seven. Kripke originally pitched the show as "''Star Wars'' in truck stop America" ([http://www.usatoday.com/life/television/news/2005-08-17-supernatural_x.htm Source]).

<blockquote>
'''Kripke:''' At one point I wanted to do an anthology show. Another time, I wanted to do a series about a reporter who works for a tabloid magazine, pretty much a rip-off of the original ''Kolchak: The Night Stalker''. And then, finally, just through development with the studio, settled on this idea of telling these stories in the format of this Route 66: Great American Road Trip with these two brothers.
<blockquote>
'''Kripke:''' It's sort of funny how it all worked out. I literally had scribbled [the idea] in a notebook the day before my meeting with the studio, and then I came into the studio and had pitched them my reporter idea. And they didn't like it. They said, "What else do you got?" I didn't have anything. So, I tap danced and said, "Well, I got this great idea about two brothers on a road trip." They loved it, and it ended up being the show. So, it's funny how that works out. </blockquote>

Kripke on his childhood trauma:
<blockquote>
Because of the show, people wonder if I had a disturbed childhood, or tortured puppies, stuff like that. But I'm a normal Ohio boy from a tight-knit family — though my friends and family do seem surprised that I'm coming up with such twisted crap. About once a month my sister calls me and says, "What the hell's wrong with you?"

Kripke on his worldview:
Despite the pickup of his script for the movie ''[[Haunted]]'', which he'll also direct, Kripke's involvement with ''Supernatural'' continues in season seven. According to Sera Gamble, “Eric was in the room full-time when we were conceiving this season’s mythology and he continues to consult part-time” ([http://www.tvline.com/2011/08/ask-ausiello-scoop-on-greys-the-office-csi-ny-bones-vampire-diaries-chuck-and-more/ Source]).

Eric - sequestered away in a cabin working on his new pilot - is called to the set as a result of [[Sam]] and [[Dean]]'s strange behavior. [[Bob Singer]] is relieved to see him, and they talk briefly about [[Misha Collins]]' murder, which Eric is quick to point out that, though a tragedy, got them the front page of ''Variety.'' He also mentions that he's had a breakthrough on then new show he's writing, ''Octocobra''. Before Eric can speak to the boys, though, [[Virgil]] appears and shoots him multiple three times with a shotgun, killing him.<br clear="all" />
