#Xfile s1 e19 series#

Just remember that folks, it was a monster of the week that brought Mulder back. In season 8, it took a full-blown reptilian creature to drag Mulder back into the X-Files for a guest appearance. More evil glowing eyes in this episode, and an interesting twist too.ДЄ clear example of how humour and the monster of the week episodes worked well together, the crew of hit show вЂњCopsвЂќ follow Mulder and Scully as they investigate a neighbourhood monster. The bottom of the ocean is as deep and dark as the imagination.вЂќДЄ cryptozoologist and a canine biologist import a rare Chinese dog that kills those transporting it and seems to show supernatural cunning in its behaviour. вЂњDonвЂ™t sneer at the mysteries of the deep, young lady. Third, thereвЂ™s a sea monster on the loose! First, humour and the monster of the week episodes quickly became hallmarks of the series, and two, the late great Darren McGavin returns as Arthur Dales. This episode is a controversial choice among X-Files die-hards, as itвЂ™s considered too funny to be scary вЂ“ but it was great for two reasons. Several disappearances and a boyвЂ™s tale of something invisible attacking him, leads Mulder to believe nature may be taking a vengeful turn against people.ДЄs a hurricane bears down on the Florida coast, a contact asks Mulder and Scully to investigate the disappearance of two marine biologists. Not an episode for dog lovers thoughвЂ¦ДЄ quintessential monster in the woods story gives Mulder the perfect excuse not to go to a team-building seminar, and instead drags Scully, and the two agents unfortunately (for them) hitching a ride, literally into the woods. I love this episode, as it keeps you guessing all the way through, and thereвЂ™s a lovely little Easter Egg right at the end too. But when confronted, its predatory nature quickly comes to the surface.ДЄnother firm favourite, Quagmire sees our dynamic duo searching for a beast similar to the Loch Ness Monster, in a lake in Georgia. Oh, how I wished it was a case that was returned to at a later date, but alas, it was never to be.ДЄKA as the flukeman, The Host sees a humanoid, parasitic organism using sewage systems to live in seclusion, away from humans.

In the episode, an elder explains that the curse revisits every eight years. A spate of gruesome murders brings Mulder and Scully into the jurisdiction of the Native American Tribal Police, and the legend of the Manitou вЂ“ or werewolf to you and me. Although we never really see the monster clearly, we do see itвЂ™s bulging, amber eyes and hear its panting breaths as it watches its prey from the shadows. This is probably the X-Files episode that both scares me the most, and I have watched the most. IвЂ™m going to ignore the many human (ish) monsters that have made their way into the X-Files, and just stick to those that most of us would recognise as the real deal. The episode plays with cultural references such as Creepy Pasta, as it explores the myth of the вЂњscreaming skullвЂќ as well as what the real definition of a monster could be.Д«ut as we shall see, the X-Files has a long and much-loved history of flirting with cryptids and creatures. In season elevenвЂ™s вЂњGhoulieвЂќ, two teenage girls attack one another, each believing the other to be a monster.
