After School Special - Promo


RIP Kim Manners 01/25/2009
date added 27th January 2009

Today the sad news reached me about the death of Supernatural producer/director Kim Manners. Kim had lung cancer and passed away on Sunday evening after complications. Our deepest condolences go out to his family and I am sure the Supernatural cast and crew will miss him greatly as well. His contribution to the show (and the X Files before it) was unsurpassed.

More about the Kim Manners news can be found at Canada.com and EW.com.

Supernatural creator Eric Kripke released a statement saying, "Everyone at Supernatural is walking around in a daze, shocked and absolutely devastated. Kim was a brilliant director; more than that, he was a mentor and friend. He was one of the patriarchs of the family, and we miss him desperately. He gave so much to Supernatural, and everything we do on the show, now and forever, is in memory of him."
