In both episodes, there are children dying from a mysterious illness. Turns out that they're having the life sucked out of them by a mysterious, scary monster. Also in both, there are important flashbacks that explain a lot about a given character.
For instance, the monster kills Buffy's cousin right in front of her when she's a little girl, and that's why she hates hopsitals. And the shtriga almost killed Sammy right in front of Dean's eyes, and that's why he always obeys John.
Seriously, if you ever get a chance, try some comparaive viewing. These episodes are scarily similar on so many levels. It's crazy.
