Bloody Revenge

Bloody Revenge is the second episode in the first season of Hunters (TV series).

Plot Summary
The episode revolves around the murder of two drivers in Grantsburg, Wisconsin, by what could possibly be the ghost of the serial killer Jimmy Vaughn. When the hunters arrive on their way to Alaska, they begin the search for the killer. When a police officer who put the serial killer away is killed in his car, the hunters go to the highway to confront what they are certain is the ghost of Jimmy Vaughn. The set up a decoy car and Jimmy takes the bait, only realising it is loaded with enchanted explosives just as Dan detonates them. Jimmy's ghost is destroyed in the explosion and the hunters leave in the commotion.

Production
After the series was launched, the second episode was devised by the creator Jason Holt and the other producers. The idea began with a masked killer, but creators cut this as it seemed to much like Jason Vorhees. When interviewed about the second episode by Empire, Jason Holt said that the antagonist was loosely based on Vorhees. The episode was originally called "Blood Roads", but it was replaced by "Bloody Revenge", refering to Jimmy Vaughn's rampage for revenge against the police.

Reception
When the episode aired in the US on Sci Fi a week after the pilot, it recieved 89% of positive votes. Empire commented that the graphics were brilliant and rated it four star. TV Week gave a good review too, but warned that it may be a bit too scary for young children.
