You will never look under the bed in the dark again.Ī refresher: “Home” was a stand-alone “monster-of-the-week” episode that had Mulder and Scully investigating the discovery of a deformed baby buried near the home of the Peacocks in a small town in Pennsylvania. It is scary in the sense that visions from the episode will stick with you for days, months, maybe years, and come to you in your sleep and stir you awake in a cold sweat covered in your own piss. It’s not scary in the sense that it will make you fear for your life, or jump out of your skin. It will f*ck you up and haunt you to the core of your soul. If you haven’t seen “Home,” stop whatever you’re doing and track it down. For all the subverted horror tropes, gore, and twisted sexual perversions in Ryan Murphy’s The American Horror Story, it has nothing on what may be considered the most disturbing episode of television in network history, the X-Files episode, “Home,” which holds up as well now as it did 17 years ago. The X-Files is one of the divisions in the FBI, devoted to unsolved cases that appear to have some unexplained, paranormal elements.Whenever Halloween arrives, I’m always reminded of one of my all-time favorite episodes of television.

The files take their name from the filing cabinet where they were kept - originally filed under U for unsolved, they grew too big for the drawer and were moved to the less populated X cabinet. Soon, the X-Files became a dumping ground for reporting of UFOs, alien abductions, and other arcana that the FBI didn't want to investigate or didn't believe in.įox Mulder, a serial-killer specialist and a believer in paranormal phenomena ever since, as a child, he witnessed the abduction of his younger sister, requested to be transfered to the forgotten basement and began to ruffle a few feathers in the Bureau. Eventually, he was assigned a partner - the skeptical and scientific Dana Scully, who was assigned to discredit Mulder's works. Instead of discrediting him, however, Scully slowly became Mulder's ally. The pair began to investigate cases that no one else wanted to touch and that couldn't be solved.A kinky incest family.

‘Home’, first broadcast in 1994, is widely regarded as the scariest ever episode of the iconic sci-fi TV series, which concluded in 2002 but returned for its belated 10th series in 2016 and a further 11th season last night. FBI agents Fox Mulder (David Duchovny) and Dana Scully (Gillian Anderson), he a believer in paranormal activity and she the sceptic meant to keep him in check, are returning for another round of alien-busting and heady sexual tension. Yet the new series will had to go some way to outdo ‘Home’, the second episode of series four, so controversial it was banned for years and only once repeated on Fox, the network that made the landmark show. It appeared later on lesser-known channel FX, but Fox’s feelings were made clear when their sole repeat, a special airing on Halloween 1999, was advertised in TV Guide magazine as “an episode so controversial it’s been banned from television for three years”. (Nostalgia alert: imagine a TV channel taking out an ad in a magazine to advertise a repeat. Mulder and Scully are drafted in to investigate when local children find the aforementioned baby in a hick town called Mayberry. They ask the local sheriff (Tucker Smallwood) about the family that lives in the dilapidated house nearby and he gravely intones: “ grow their own food, they raise their own pigs, they breed their own cows, raise and breed their own stock, if you get my meaning”. Three brothers live there and the agents conclude that they must have abducted and raped a woman, then disposed of the resulting baby. The truth, of course, is a whole other matter. It turns out – spoilers coming – that the Peacock family is a deeply inbred clan of violent murderers, with one brother having fathered the other two. With whom? His own mother, who has sex with all three siblings because, like, there isn’t much to do in Mayberry. The brothers are deformed but Ma Peacock is much more disfigured, her limbless body secreted in a cart beneath a bed like a dirty magazine. ‘Home’ was the first episode of The X Files to receive a viewer discretion warning and the only one to carry a TV-MA rating, which is like an 18 certificate for American television.
