With Heaven and Hell on their backs, the Winchester Brothers deserved a good, old-fashioned monster hunt. This episode, however, was more style than substance, and the style portion was phoned in.
Dean saw Sam's secrecy as a major betrayal, but their relationship jolted back to normal in this episode, as if nothing ever happened. I know I complained last week that the Rugaru's plight resembled Sam's, but I prefer that to this--no plot is propelled forward by "Monster Movie." Oh, except--Dean "loses his virginity."
The monster is simply another shapeshifter who identifies with monster movie monsters, especially Dracula. The damsel in distress is an average-looking, charisma-less waitress (yes, she may be hot in real life but not in the Supernatural universe, where models litter the street). Better a waitress than a demon, though, right, Sam?

This ep was actually filmed as 4.03, but the network changed the viewing order. Knowing that, it may make more sense in terms of the boys' emotional arcs.
