==AppearancesHistory==Hellhound glasses are spectacles made of glass that has been scorched in [[holy fire]], through which [[hellhound]]s are made clearly visible. [[Dean]] and [[Sam]] use them to fight and kill a hellhound that arrives to retrieve damned souls, in order to complete the first of three trials to be able to shut the gates of [[Hell]]. ==Episodes==
===[[8.14 Trial and Error]]===
After being told by [[Kevin Tran|Kevin]] that [[hellhound]]s are only visible to damned [[soul]]s or through glasses scorched with [[holy fire]], [[Dean]] goes in search of some glasses at the farm's supply room. He finds a box full of them and takes a couple for [[Sam]] and himself. He later gathers [[holy oil]] from the trunk of the [[Impala]], pours a little on the ground, lights it and scorches both glasses through the holy fire. While he gives Sam a pair to use, Dean goes in search of the hellhound. After noticing where the hellhound is, he puts on the glasses and confronts it. [[Dean]]'s glasses get knocked off him after being attacked, [[Sam]] arrives just in time to notice this, and grabs the [[Ruby's Knife|knife]] and cuts open the [[hellhound]] thus killing it.
===[[12.15 Somewhere Between Heaven and Hell]]===
When the [[hellhound]] [[Ramsey]] is released from [[Hell]] and begins attacking and killing people, [[Sam]], [[Dean]], and [[Crowley]] try to track her down. Sam and Dean retrieve the glasses from the trunk and while Dean and Crowley go through the woods looking for her, Sam stays behind with [[Gwen Hernandez]].
Ramsey soon arrives at the [[Impala]] and jumps on top of the car. Sam retrieves an [[angel blade]] and attempts to confront her. Ramsey leaps at him and pins him to the ground, knocking off his glasses. Gwen scrambles in the back seat for a weapon and grabs the [[green cooler]]. She blindly clobbers Ramsey with it, giving Sam time to get to his feet, but he is still unable to see Ramsey without his glasses. He can see her footfalls raising dust and waits for her to jump again, then stabs her with the angel blade, killing her.
==Trivia==
* The [[British Men of Letters]] appear to be unaware that hellhounds can be seen though glass objects scorched with holy fire as [[Toni Bevell]] questions how [[Mr. Ketch]] could tell if the hellhound Crowley provided him in [[12.21 There's Something About Mary]] sat upon hearing his dog whistle.
